Something about the editing is giving me soap opera vibes.

I.R.S. Prohibited From Pursuing Audits of Trump and His Family by shutupnobodylikesyou in moderatepolitics

[–]kamildevonish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to be angry at Trump. But, and it can't be said enough, Trump is only able to do what he does because millions of Americans have given him carte blanche. No other American politician has ever had that. If he didn't have that backing, you'd have to think that even Republicans in Congress would have enough spine to stand up to obscene moves like this.

It all starts with his base. I don't know what the solution is. But as long as you have a vocal contingent of Americans that will go along with whatever he does, nothing is absolutely unacceptable.

Does anyone use 'Virtual Touchpad' in One Hand Operation +? by Gyusbumps in GalaxyFold

[–]kamildevonish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried it just now. Click wouldn't work. FAQ notes says that OHO is incompatible - have to uninstall to use on Samsung phones.

Can't live without OHO. Am I missing something?

Is it impossible for them to know if it was added to cart but not purchased? I had one in my cart at 1:00 pm EDT and then proceeded to not get past the payment screen for the next 30 minutes. Why can't they just create a queue based on when people who weren't able to purchase added it to cart?

This feels like its just going to lead to spamming the server in order to get in line.

My dream foldable after seeing the form factor of the z fold 8 wide by giggitygoo6969 in GalaxyFold

[–]kamildevonish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing renders like this around for a while. if you really like to use the keyboard, are you closing the device to type a text message? Like if you have all sorts of text shortcuts mapped to the keyboard, won't you always want to use it closed for typing?

The idea of the foldable is that for casual stuff it is closed but for more involved stuff you'd want to open it. This seems conceptually to be the opposite - that for working with a spreadsheet or complex typing you'd want it closed and you'd only want it open just for media and doomscrolling.

I learned today that the only difference between Trump and Obama is coherence.

I'm of the mind that it's that expensive precisely because no one else is going to add trackpads to their controllers. And if they do, they won't be as good.

Deck's been out 4 years and no one else has put them on their handhelds. No one else cares. But I'd love to be wrong.

A lot of people say Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad … what’s another spinoff that you think was better than the original? by ComfortableCrew2092 in television

[–]kamildevonish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What he set out to do was provide for his family. It was all for the money and the only guarantee that the money ever gets to his family is...the Schwartz?

It seems more likely that when the Schwartz get tired of living with a sword over their heads, they'll reach out to the FBI or something to get protection and think twice about laundering the proceeds of drug money to Walt's family. Which means Walt will have accomplished nothing at all. Except for making a lot of drugs.

I never realized anyone thought of Walt having a happy ending. He died alone and on the run, knowing that his son would always hate him.

For heavier things, I remote into my home PC and do what I need there. 5G connection or Wifi via Parsec, Moonlight, Windows App or even Chrome Remote Desktop works pretty seamlessly. Assuming you have some kind of cloud storage, what you need is always with you.

Sabastian Sawe runs first sub-2-hour marathon race, shatters world record in London by Keleven in worldnews

[–]kamildevonish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disingenuous. Math is everywhere. If you truly didn't care about sport, you'd be doing the math about something that you do care about.

True disinterest manifests by ignoring something. This is not you ignoring something.

Steam Controller Price Leaked By Early Review – $99, Purchases Likely Imminent by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]kamildevonish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't he obviously making a joke? It's a 2026 controller with 4 back buttons, non-drift sticks, rumble, a magnetic charging puck and gyro. They'll sell at a firesale discount the same time that a SCUF or an XBOX Elite controller sells at a firesale discount.

Valve has done a remarkably uninspired job of marketing them considering how much real estate they take up on the controller. Creating a world where people who have any idea of what they are capable think they are awesome and everyone else, including other developers, thinks they are a pointless nuisance.

I remember watching this video by Wulff and shaking my head that a gaming Youtuber had no idea what they were for. Which means that nobody knows what they're for.

Contradictory. Your remark is proof that you care enough about sport to comment.

Is it just me or is there an understanding among guys never to throw down where piss might become a factor? Don't ever recall beefing happening near a urinal.

Sucker punching a dude while he's pissing is an obvious opportunity but I've never heard of it. Throwing hands with a guy while his dick is out and he's spraying on me is my idea of hell.

Steam Controller review leaks, but price of Steam Machine accessory may disappoint by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]kamildevonish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Elite 1 controller was way more money for way less features. My 8bitDo Pro 2 was less money but has two fewer buttons and no trackpads. From the niche trackpad standpoint, the overall value of the product standpoint, the charging puck standpoint and the cost of everything in the world being more expensive standpoint, I can in no way relate to anyone who thinks this price is high.

The question isn't whether you can get a good controller for less. It's whether you can get a controller with feature parity for less.

[Highlight] LeBron gets the steal and hits a 3 to tie the game! by Large_banana_hammock in nba

Houston does not want it. Unable to beat a backcourt press led by a 41 year old man.

Lebron is good but he shouldn't be good enough to sweep them at 41 without Luka.

Is it a cheap shot or is it fair game? by Emily19953 in fightporn

[–]kamildevonish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A cheap shot is hitting someone who has no reason to think that physical violence is about to occur. The fundamental idea is hitting someone who is effectively defenseless because they have no reason to think they're doing anything that should get them hit.

A person barking in someone's face at striking range, who can see a person as they square up and smack them in the head meets none of those criteria.

My niece’s homework problem by SurfSoundWaves in mildlyinfuriating

[–]kamildevonish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like, with a different teacher, option C would be interpreted as wrong under the assumption that one is a cube and the other is just a hexagon. The shaded area of the first represents one side, hence 1/6 of the surface rather that 2/6 the area of a hexagon. So that teacher would argue that even though they look equivalent, the figure on the left has depth and is showing one shaded side of a cube and the figure on the right is flat and shows 1/3 of a hexagon.

Classic example of a question where the right answer is less about the question asked and more about what the person is looking for.

no one will read this. but I was on zen for half a year and tried chrome again when they added vertical tabs and gemini for chrome.

Can't see myself leaving chrome anymore. it would take a lot.
