that stock price is not rooted in anything real (and hasn’t for a long time). I can’t wait until that bubble bursts with a bang i can hear from Europe.
Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn’t even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.

Just to set this in relation, the transatlantic roundtrips of those jets are the equivalent to 540000000 questions to deepseek r1, or 1710000000 questions to quen 2.5. for quen, that means to ask about 36 questions per minute.
for the next 90 years.


The book was pretty good, at least when i read it as a teenager. Don’t know if i’d like it now


The “Test” will probably be in line with a psych eval like we already have for our military, which will be enough for cases like this, because he was unfit to serve.
he was still able to get a gun licence, because in austria you are only blocked from getting a gun licence (for 15 years IIRC) if you refuse to serve in the military on ethical grounds and do civil service instead, and the data from the military evaluation is kept secret because of privacy laws.


That would take a majority vote, not only a single party change. Our system here in austria isn’t perfect (like most of the world), but it is not the broken mess the US have.
Regardless, i’d say the move to stronger regulation is welcome here. The shooter had his guns legally, even tho he was deemed unfit for military service, which screams “regulatory hole to fix ASAP”
looks like there is broad support for making sure that whoever wants a gun to be stable enough to handle them without shooting up a school.


They are safe for car passengers, and a nightmare for everyone else on the street. High hoods with bad sight for drivers and awful impact profile for pedestrians, heavy cars which make low speed collisions much more deadly for everyone not protected by 3 tons of steel. Safety should be for everyone, not only car passengers.


John Barnett said that the corner cutting during construction would culminate in a crash after 10 to 12 years.


not necessarily. John Barnett, the Boeing whistleblower which died after 2 days into his three day deposition, said that that the assembly line sloppiness would take about ten to twelve years to culminate in a crash.
the latest beta update for the steam deck offers an new option to limit charging to 80/85/90% btw!
those guides are great - had to swap out my display because i cracked it, was done in under 1 hour. the repairability of this thing is insane


no, but every other international student there, including people who are not so well off.


I am sure that MS is very concerned. If i take my usecase, the things that held me on windows from dos5/Win3.1 up to Windows10 were gaming and that i grew up with it. I sometimes dabbled in linux, but since there was no meaningful way to use my game library, i switched back, because even dualbooting made no sense (what for? just so i can boot back after browsing a few web pages?)
This time after 3 days i deleted my windows partition, even while i was still fighting a bit with the Wayland/NVidia combo - that was shortly after the explicit sync drivers were available.
The young’ins want to play their games, and now they can without ever coming into contact with microsoft at all if not for the anticheat-outliers (who knows, maybe there’s some money flowing that stops them from activating linux support? i know most anticheat in theory does work under linux). And if they start playing on Linux, there’s no reason for them to switch over to Windows at all.


I’m shedding tears for all the people who are working hard on their education who lose so much because of the tantrum of a manchild.


Dude, my Steam Link and Steam Controllers are still in active use and get updates to this day. I even have 2 backup Steam Links - at the end they were selling them at 5€ per piece, and since i use it to stream pretty much everything to my TV, i got some in reserve.
I’m still on the first one, and one of the Controllers is now working with my Steam Deck out of the box.
I agree (a bit) on the Steam machines, those were pretty much a flop when seen as isolated device - but they laid the groundwork for the Deck.


The US has more than enough land to resettle their own population, the population density of most US states can take that easily.


Alexander Avdeyev also threatened journalists and residents with fines if they shared unofficial information about the blast.
ah yes, i always threaten journalists when there’s nothing to report


well, at that point the numbers lose their meaning.


I’m shocked! Well, not that shocked.
But i’m more interested how this plays out US-internally; the MIC is probably not too pleased with losing sales because US-produced gear is not trustworthy anymore, and the Trump presidency is not even 10% done yet. The MIC is also the largest employer in the US with around 3 million employees in the Department of Defense alone, not calculating anyone in the private sector. That can’t be good for the current admin.
I never was very hyped about VR, but the Steam Deck has liberated me from my office chair, and I suspect the frame will be an extension of this freedom for me. As soon as I can pre-order one, I will. I’ve been saving my money for this thing since the first announcement.
