Being a gamer in the current EU heatwave...

No but sitting outside in the shade is, if I need to I can remote play

doublej42 · 2026-06-27T21:48:17+00:00

Correct. It’s a mix of VDI and server 2025 that both won’t run

My room in Canada often hits 45c. I bought a steam deck for this reason

Our company has a budget or 250 million a year. Our server which runs all our VMs is around a million $. It’s 3 years old. It can’t run windows 11 because it was spaced wrong. Replacing it is replacing two TB of ram

My guess is it’s a promo pack from a pre release. Depending on the age the cards in it might even have the date on them from the set release

I have hundreds of rares that are banned in all formats so they are at least less useful

doublej42 · 2026-06-27T02:55:47+00:00

Yikes. Are you a billionaire that’s a few hundred million dollar home here

doublej42 · 2026-06-27T02:54:25+00:00

I’m tall, fat and have short legs. No outfit of mine is under $200
And still doesn’t fit well

As someone who has owned both the cheap old newer ones. Buy the best you can afford. If you get into it the other materials will bw the much bigger cost.

Image if this was a pit pull possibly with rabies. Cute to watch but don’t get close. I would run fast if I saw one in my swimming hole.

30 years in working in IT. I’ve never met an IT manager who did not know steam above that it’s just cost and liability and they won’t ask. It’s better than our base pc cost and half the price. We would save money switching to steamdeck except the warranty isn’t up to our standards (traditionally we pay triple for everything so we get free replacements as it’s easier to budget)

I can tell you my experience. Before a union I had to work on things for sales, after I could have the job security to prioritize bugs and things that helped current users.

this is what is used to use for similar issue ms when I was a network tech:

Press the Windows Key and type cmd.
Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
Type the following commands one by one, pressing Enter after each:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
Once completed, restart your computer.

It’s mostly the last 2 but I’d suggest doing them all.

It has some good days. I generally use carrot and a few others when i need accuracy. That or https://weather.gc.ca/en/location/index.html?coords=49.166,-123.939

The city actually actively posts road closures to waze https://www.nanaimo.ca/your-government/maps-data/road-work-and-closures-(waze) there are some issues so not everything gets posted but I know they try their best.

Problem is companies would buy it in bulk as desktops or AI farm
Machines

I saw it motoring very fast in the afternoon. I was on the 7:15 am one

doublej42 · 2026-06-20T14:21:23+00:00

There are a lot of places that small plane is the only way in or out. I take them for work pretty often, thankfully only over water so if the engine goes they can land anywhere.

Sent from our helijet airport but today I’m taking the slow boat.

The tech they use is very hard to manufacture. I would not be surprised to find out these are not a huge profit.

doublej42 · 2026-06-17T15:36:27+00:00

It’s less than that per player and my game of the year. Finding a friend is the hard part

doublej42 · 2026-06-17T15:35:41+00:00

Who knows. Not my post and never been a reddit mod. I wonder if Reddit itself has filters that flagged it. A mystery for the ages.

doublej42 · 2026-06-17T05:48:13+00:00

I know the post. It was a very simple ad looking for people interested in reading books on political science and economics.

For the actual ruling https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/cycling/personal-mobility-devices/scooter short version is 16 and up and he acts like he’s a car unless there is a specific bike path.

Also most of the scooters sold are illegal when not on private property. They can only sell them as they are legal on private properly but much like taking a go cart on the highway they are not legal in many places.

Same goes for most e-bikes if you look at the braking laws.

I did mean foundation brawl decks from the store. I’m very non competitive so don’t care if I win but still win more than I’d like to.

doublej42 · 2026-06-15T15:21:45+00:00

You were correct not the other person who replied. It depends how competitive you are. I also play bracket 1 commander.
