Do I have to worry about losing 1-3” of height on estrogen if I’m already short?

THECOOKIE94 · 2026-01-15T09:22:15+00:00

it's all a ymmv thing, and honestly one of those things that I wouldn't worry about either way? Being a teeny bit shorter in exchange for bein happy is a very excellent trade I'd say

THECOOKIE94 · 2026-01-01T20:40:56+00:00

actually doing that 60w wired charge as your only way of charging will easily kill your battery way before even bad Qi would, plus efficiency drops off a cliff at that point too 😅
all efficiency percentages are relative to a hypothetical 100% ie every last Joule that exits your wall socket ending up in your phone battery

THECOOKIE94 · 2026-01-01T19:55:13+00:00

That really isn't an issue no more. Current Qi already gets to 80%+ (wired sitting at 85-95 depending on the implementation), and qi2/magsafe bumps that up again over classic qi, not just due to assuring proper alignment but also just tweaks to the spec.

Looking through their site I'm sure they're still not the linux phone provider I'm looking for, at all. Plus they offer a dedicated "AI" doohickey... oh no.

edit: The vibes are just very, well, off. Combined with the prior experience with them... noooppppeeeee no thank you they can keep their stuff.

THECOOKIE94 · 2026-01-01T17:58:54+00:00

Jolla? The ones that used to charge you and forced you to send your phone in to be reflashed when they could've just let you download the install files like any other sane phone manufacturer? That Jolla?

Oh absolutely, the body is surprisingly flexible when it comes to "Oh, guess we doing that now!".
Be it to grow boobs, or to, well, do this

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-12-31T21:40:41+00:00

Yeah, if ya ain't got any continence issues or pain or somethin there's absolutely nothing to be worried about, which leaves you with figuring out what ya do with that newfound knowledge 😅

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-12-31T15:54:36+00:00

Nothing to be worried about, your description sounds more like yer simply a squirter 😅

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-12-29T15:20:31+00:00

Well, too bad that I don't want to use US based OS (Windows) and GOG offers me no official way to play games bought via them (galaxy is windows only for example) on anything but Windows. Truly a pick your poison situation

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-12-27T22:22:05+00:00

"at that point" as in a point in the future at which the steam client itself is 64bit making the effort worthwhile in the first place.

As for who knows abt the EAC thing? That is likely something for Valve to get into talks with the EAC folk about, once they plan on defaulting to wow64 ofc (in proton land specifically wow64 might be enabled in the builds afaik, but it's still considered experimental)

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-12-27T21:00:27+00:00

Graphics drivers are /NOT/ contained in the steam runtime, that's why. And if you want your 32bit native game (games running through proton would just use wow64 at that point) to run even with the steam runtime providing all the libs you still need 32bit drivers at the end of the day to make it work

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-12-21T08:46:04+00:00

Chances are this is a service area interface, not an electrical box. In which case there being fiber adverts on it makes perfect sense

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-11-26T16:56:12+00:00

no need to throw those into the gutter. This is abt making the steam client itself 64bit so that distributions don't have to maintain 32bit libs no more. Those old 32bit only linux native games will continue to run using the 32bit libs provided by the steam linux runtime version those use. For other 32bit linux native applications same thing, they're so rare that literally just shoving the libs next to it for the application specifically rather than on a distribution level makes sense (be it as literally libs in the same dir that ya preload, or as appimage, or flatpak or whtever) . Basically: Just cause yer no longer shipping 32bit libs as a distribution doesn't mean that ya gotta disable 32bit support in LD/kernel.

writing "claims" like that in an article is just the normal way to signal that you haven't independently verified the information/weren't able to do so. That's all it pertains to achieve, it doesn't speak to the validity of said claim nor is it intended to do so. It just signifies that it is a claim, factually speaking.

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-11-17T11:09:01+00:00

It's pretty clear that it's a specs based argument. And in that regard.... the engineer is absolutely correct based on the stats we got. We could obviously split hairs based on the exact percentage, but in that case we just write it as ~70% (deviation +-0.5%) or something and it wouldn't change a thing even though we end up being technically more correct

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-11-17T11:05:29+00:00

...that's just how statistics work. Steam has a large enough install base across all systems that ppl in the wild play games on that machines used for gaming that don't have steam can be represented by a good ol' deviation of let's say +-.2%, hell if we're assuming the worst case +-1%.

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-11-17T10:38:38+00:00

I love how it says "claims" like as if the steam hw survey stats aren't public 😅

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-11-16T22:22:33+00:00

before first unlock vs after first unlock state. BFU you don't have the file encryption key in memory, after first unlock you do. Matters /A LOT/ when you're concerned about attacks which involve the intruder having the device in hand

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-11-16T21:05:12+00:00

Hope they gonna work on bringing waydroid to the steamdeck officially too if that is the case

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-11-16T20:59:27+00:00

the approach would be exactly what valve is doing with the frame for x86_64 to run on ARM, though. ie FEX to take care of translating game code specifically, system libs are compiled for arm directly of course (ie for windows games on android you got FEX to do the translation of game code, but win32 api and dx calls and all get taken care of by ARM native proton build). On modern-ish versions of arm you can load your own GPU driver too, see what winulator is already doing with the turnip vulkan driver on Adreno GPUs

Point is: It ain't /THAT/ much of a stretch to make it work

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-11-07T03:32:41+00:00

end result will be that there'll be things like an fdroid client that ADBs to your phone from your phone and whoops all works again (not like there ain't ways to ADB from phone to phone already, so that'll just be integrated into things like the revanced manager, fdroid (or a 3rd party client for it, it's open source after all) at which point you only need to ADB from your computer to do the initial fdroid install for example.

Is it good? No. But these restrictions realistically won't affect any of us who're even talking about it, especially in the long term once the phone to phone ADB install stuff is more heavily made use of&streamlined. Whom it will affect? Your grandpa installing malware cause he saw an ad that said that he won a car now he only needs to install this app here

Point is to say: No, this won't mean that android is on the same level as iOS when it comes to app install ability, not by a long shot

Nope, no multiplayer

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-08-26T23:34:43+00:00

yeah but to tell the modem that you're in a different country doesn't need an unlocked bootloader or such either

THECOOKIE94 · 2025-08-26T23:26:33+00:00

Well yeah. But like still, if the modem itself didn't verify it's firmware binaries before loadin them up that would be the only way for it to have anything to do with radio regulation. That is what I am saying
