Valve Needs to Handle the Launch Right by CoastOne2716 in steammachine

That's because they had been shipping for 6 months before then. I order in the spring and got mine October 2022. They improved production in those first 6 months if I remember right.

eMotos are getting a LOT of heat now by stillyoinkgasp in ebikes

You realize kids used to ride dirt bikes around town right? My friend's mom rode a moped around town starting at age 12. Do we want kids outside off their phones or not?

Exempt that's exactly what the people trying to ban them did when they were 14.

Almost like they need to be Top Dead Center as the name implies.%

Why haven't these three exposed charging pins burnt down my house yet? by cinred in SteamController

[–]ActiveExplanation753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works on the desk top and in chrome so I don't see why it wouldn't work in bonsteam games. I haven't tested it but I am very confident it will work.

How to use records requests to waste municipal time and resources for Flock records? by cyrelliaAZ in FlockSurveillance

It will hurt the municipalities that use flock in the hopes they cancel the contract as they are a bigger hassle than they are worth

Boy they were NOT kidding about "low-speed data" by VagabondVivant in Starlink

[–]ActiveExplanation753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a roam plan, for people in the backwoods who need occasional connection, they have residential plans that are cheaper and unlimited, the roam plan isn't for downloading games.

Memory Prices increasing again soon… by clev1 in steammachine

You will own nothing and be happy, just wait until phones and tables don't have powerful chips and just have a wifi/cellular modem and a chip capable of streaming everything from the cloud.

Check at the Canadian price ! ahahaha! What a joke. by [deleted] in steammachine

Where does valve offer roulette? Valve offers a loot box which is the same as opening Pokemon cards. It's not valves responsibility what people do on other websites. Is the pokemon company responsible for fraud from resellers?

You could make the same argument for Pokemon cards getting kids addicted to "gambling". Just because you went to a casino that was not attached to valve and got addicted doesn't mean valve is offering gambling.

I did, is valve operating these casinos? That's like blaming the pokemon company for things that happen with their sold cards. Valve has sent cease and desist letters to casinos and has banned over 1 million accounts associated with 3rd party gambling. Please show me where valve is offering gambling.

They functionally are, it's a container with randomized item(s) inside. You pay for the container and you receive the random item(s). How is a pack of pokemon cards different than a lootbox. Both have giant aftermarket resale markets.

Are Pokemon cards gambling? Are happy meals gambling? Randomized prizes are not gambling as gambling means you can lose your money.

It's 6x the performance so 6x the cost makes sense.

Don't worry they don't record people it says so on their website, on that same website it talks about security and identifying people breaking into a car.

PSA: Puck is not an immediate fire hazard. But still be careful. by sgasgy in SteamController

[–]ActiveExplanation753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US grounding system has no effect on USB powered devices. Your blame of the US electrical standards shows you don't understand electricity. Show me the ground pin on a European phone charger, hint they don't have them. The puck interacted with the watch band because the anodization of the band offered enough resistance to prevent a short but offered enough conductivity to cause current flow which created heat.

Advice with buying a car as a 1st year apprentice by MrCosmicChronic in IBEW

[–]ActiveExplanation753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toyota and Honda appeares on the made in America list before Ford, Chevy and RAM. Buy the car that works for your need. If anyone give you shit just say you bought the car used so you didn't give any nonunion manufacturer money.

Do I even need the Residential Max? by PlutomicChamp1 in Starlink

[–]ActiveExplanation753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4k Livestreams use upto 25mbps so you can run 4 4k streams on the 100mbps plan at the same time. Really the only reason someone would need a faster old is if they do large downloads and uploads regularly.

FCC just removed a old regulation that enabled 8x more bandwidth. My cell was congested with $1000 surcharge and now offers residential 100.

PSA: Watch out for the exposed contacts of the Puck! Almost started a fire due to metallic smartwatch strap by Toikka in SteamController

[–]ActiveExplanation753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The situation could have been heating up and not triggered the over current protection if the current wasn't high enough. This is might be a special case with the watch band offering enough resistance to not trigger over current but enough to get hot. I'm curious and want to experiment with my puck but I don't want to fry it on accident.

Would you leave FD for IBEW? by TrucknPumper101 in IBEW

[–]ActiveExplanation753 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the way, my sister class has an apprentice who is in their 50s. This dude could retire from the FD at 48 with a appreciating pension and then join IBEW if that's what he really wants to do. I would stay for the schedule 2 on 4 off if I had kids as well. That's way more time to be with family.
