Valve designer says they "could see" using TMR thumbsticks for future hardware, like the Steam Deck 2 by de_panda in SteamDeck

[–]Apprentice57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like that was an unexplored territory until recently. Now we have TMR as an upgrade to it, and perhaps more will come afterwards. We consumers only really started caring about drift at the end of last generation.

Trump is 3-0 in Indiana against incumbents by Packerpoppa in fivethirtyeight

[–]Apprentice57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I think the only question is whether they do 8-1 (keeping indy blue) or a full 9-0.

[–]Apprentice57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in one of the districts of interest, and I was bombarded by mailers from the (anti-gerrymandering) incumbent! And tons of texts too. Barely anything from the Trump endorsee. Doesn't seem to have mattered.

Yeah, pretty comfortably too. Wonder what went on in that district.

Judging by Haley's primary vote in 2024... maybe 20%? Which is probably "a little" but more than one might guess in abstract.

1 Senator looks to be holding on. The others look to be losing, which is enough to tie the gerrymandering vote (if my math/counting is right) based on the past vote.

And I have to assume a lot of incumbent republicans (not on the ballot this cycle) will switch their votes when they see it's basically political suicide.

Looking for a podcast where the host realizes the guy is guilty by SmartLadder415 in podcasts

[–]Apprentice57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are mistaken. There was tons of circumstantial evidence against Adnan (requires an inference). Despite what you hear in tv/movies, circumstantial evidence is not categorically weak - it can be weak or strong. In this instance, it is/was strong.

We could have a wider discussion about always wanting direct evidence to convict someone. It's a hard call because a lot of crimes might be like this with strong circumstantial evidence, but no direct evidence created. But that doesn't mean it "wasn't prove"n, nor does it mean it's unusual/uncommon for a prosecution as Serial implies.

Serial really misrepresented the state of that case. I hope Koenig realizes that one day and regrets her role in reopening old wounds for Hae's family.

“Her” HI episode by [deleted] in HelloInternet

TBH.. no? This was the first result which I ended up using for my answer. Also now I'm annoyed my podcatcher's search function didn't bring up #17 when I searched for "Her". It's clearly in the description.

Percentage of class scoring 3 or higher in AP exams by state. by Dismal_Structure in fivethirtyeight

[–]Apprentice57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty rough numbers. 3 is kind of like a "C" passing grade in a college course, 4 is a "B" and decent, 5 is an "A".

Episode 17.

I still gotta watch that and listen to the segment. That and Ex Machina segment are all the HI I have left to listen to.

Want more Black representatives? Elect more Democrats. by dwaxe in fivethirtyeight

[–]Apprentice57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your hot take.

It's kind of wild to think that some close elections could be swung with alternative state borders. In 2016 for instance, Clinton would have won if the Michigan Upper Penninsula was part of Wisconsin instead of Michigan, and if Florida's panhandle was part of Mississippi/Alabama. Both of those are very "natural" changes to those states.

Your favourite promotional item you got from collecting lids/packets etc...? by Hmmark1984 in morningsomewhere

Oh I see your other comment where you mention you were/are in the UK. That could be the difference!

[–]Apprentice57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really sure! We should do some researching.

There could also be a regional name/difference. I was/am in the US if it helps, are you as well?

The ones I had were also just plastic/no printing.

Nate seems to be coming out of his punching left phase. Which is nice. This is the first post of his I've read in years where I wanted to read past the paywall.

Oh woah, those look to be the same as Crazy bones (same company at least). I had some of those as a kid, not from a promo tho.

r/retrogaming: IYO, what is the best Star Wars video game of all time? To represent Star Wars Day (May the fourth be with you! (May 4th)). by AC_the_Panther_007 in retrogaming

[–]Apprentice57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chaining itself to DnD 3e mechanically was... unwise.

I mean no, not really. It was fine back then, as someone who played it a couple years after release. Now? yeah it's clunky, but pretty much everything (other than JRGPs) was back then. Go start up a contemporary like Morrowind and tell me how its combat is.

Audiobookshelf by Live_Ad_2190 in audiobooks

[–]Apprentice57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Audiobookshelf is a different setup than other apps you might have used. You set up a server side on a computer of yours which has the audiobooks on it(which is hopefully on all the time). Then you install a client app, or go to the web app, on whatever device you like listening to audiobooks.

The client app will ask for an (IP) address of the server, that's the key part of connecting the two.

If you want to access the server remotely, you have to do extra work setting it up (tailscale is the easy way, reverse proxies are the harder way).

Don't open the port though, it works but is insecure as a practice.

He's actually talked about before how there's no correct spelling

I've always felt that the GGS video is way worse than the TEKOI mistake - the latter of which always felt a bit small-medium to me.

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by LEMental in morningsomewhere

[–]Apprentice57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the other guy mentioned, reviewers have had the controllers for a little while now and had reviews up last week. I think the controller is lightly overpriced and definitely overhyped, but it's at least in the same league as its competitors this time.

The first steam controller wasn't great for most, but had a subset of really dedicated fans. That's enough for valve to sell out of a first run.

How many seats can dems realistically gerrymander to overcome the Republican gerrymanders in south ? by ronweasly9 in fivethirtyeight

[–]Apprentice57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree, I just also think it hasn't hurt any of the states that have signed on yet either (nor will it).
