That is such a strange looking steering wheel.

A big selling point for Android is that it isn’t controlled by a single manufacturer (in contrast to Apple). Yet they all seemed to converge on the same design so the choices are quite limited.

I want my fucking buttons back. Not only easier to type on, but on-screen keyboards eat so much of the screen real estate. Give me a slide-out keyboard.

Most “SUVs” are actually crossovers. Which are just hatchbacks, wagons, and non-sliding door minivans. Take an Impreza hatchback and lift it 3 inches, and suddenly it’s an “SUV.”

But yeah, sedans w/trunks are becoming a bit of a rarity.

Yay, I never left having physical controls for things like HVAC controls and volume.

Touchscreens are great for context-sensitive controls, but less so for things that should be accessible at all times and usable without looking.

We even passed a bill where I live (Washington state), but Congress hasn’t approved it so we’re stuck. Wonder what would happen if we just did it anyway. What is the U.S. government going to do, send the cops after our state legislature?

I have a “not Lexar” 8TB NVMe that I’ve had for almost 3 years with no trouble. Should I be worried? Or is Lexar just bad?

Incidentally, looks like the price has barely come down on these since I bought.

I have to use a lot of static IP addresses, and I’d take this over what I normally deal with.

I’m not personally interested in the tech, but I could see it being relevant if your refrigerator is connected to the internet and you are at the store. You could find out whether to buy more or not.

I miss the old days of Youtube where people made stuff for fun or because they were passionate about a topic, before the big Youtubers pushing shit out the door to get as many views as they can.

Monetization shifted the focus from niche hobbyist content to gimmicky shit that is tailored to get a bunch of views. When I see a thumbnail of someone with a weird facial expression, it’s my cue to look elsewhere.

Steam controller is fantastic, and unfortunately there’s really nothing else like it. I normally use a Logitech trackball, so the ability to use a touchpad like a trackball works well for me. I can’t think of any other controllers that use this instead of analog sticks.

I’ve actually stockpiled a few spares because I’m not sure what I would use as a replacement.
