>His business could never afford to have a dev team that built and supported six different native apps

I have a hard time believing that, considering his hobby of racing cars and commissioning one-off hypercars. Unless it's that his business could never afford that dev team after DHH takes his salary.

I’m assuming they’re telling their victims to go pound some dirt, if at all.

Uh, why? I don't see what the labs have to gain by engaging in lengthy law suits forcing them to disclose all kinds of internal details and attracting the wrong kind of publicity. Just to save on insignificant (to them) amounts of money?

How many hacking lawsuits are they currently in? And are they also settling all copyright claims too?

> How many hacking lawsuits are they currently in?

Zero, as far as I know. Which is exactly my point.

Copyright lawsuits are a different matter, as the scale of any potential settlements would be more than even these companies could take.

I wonder if I'm being saved by remote working since I think I have three days in the 365 days, and I've also managed to go years without a single sick day.

I hope you are still taking your maximum possible* number of sick days regardless.

*if you live in a real country, which gives all workers unlimited paid sick leave, I am defining "max possible" here as "as many as you can reasonably take without your boss doing something about it"

Not really. Although with how soul-crushing working has become lately, maybe I ought to.

Yes. It's not allowed on Wikipedia after that was found out.

I figured I'd just end my miserable existence once the money runs out.

I think all Shopify sites also do it now? I'm migrating password managers and have been going over all of the old accounts I've had. Several sites that use Shopify for their stores now just don't accept any kind of a password.

The last time I checked out Jetbrains' IDEs, they felt heavy as hell to use. Has that changed?

Yeah, JetBrains IDEs are Java-based, so rather heavyweight. Then again, VS Code (and Cursor) have a browser engine running in the background, so not really better in my book. Sublime and Zed are more efficient of course. OTOH, JetBrains IDEs might be memory intensive, but don't actually feel sluggish on my 5 year old Core i7 laptop with 16 GB RAM.

Visual studio (at least its "core") is written in C++, yet is very heavy weight, so it's not the programming language at play here.

No. Still heavy as hell. (AKA uses loads of ram and CPU, slow, sometimes unresponsive). It is the price we pay - the tradeoff is IMO the unmatched editing and introspection/refactoring capabilities. I'm surprised there hasn't been a real competitor in this space.

I've been running a latest-1 version of a few of their products on silicon Macs since M1 w/ 8GB RAM without issue. I use minimal plugins and work on medium-sized codebases and their IDEs are some of the most reliable software I use.

Trump has already been threatening Canada and EU at various times already. Why should they assume a) this will be any different b) he'll stop if they do what he wants?

Mavericks maybe?

>Your Steam Frame headset easily pairs with your Steam Controller. Stream from your PC, laptop, Steam Deck or (coming soon!) Steam Machine for an immersive experience with any of your favorite games.

How are they even intending for the Steam Frame to be used with the Steam Deck? As far as I know, it’s not meant to be used with a cable, and the wireless adapter it ships with is USB-A.

Not sure what their plans are, but the Deck has a wifi 6E radio, so maybe they can use it to connect to the Frame directly. Given modern wifi chips can usually operate both as an AP and a client at the same time, this might just be a software feature they add to SteamOS. Worst case you can stream without a dedicated wireless link via your normal wifi with potentially reduced quality.

If this actually works, this is quite a nice, if a bit niche, combination. I really like the control layout of the Deck and it has more performance than the Frame. If you can put the screen on your head instead of having to look down on it, it might be a bit more comfortable. Sadly it seems the Deck has no IR LEDs so it can get picked up like the Controller by the Frame. Maybe a case/sleeve for the Deck can add those LEDs for full integration.

Notably only the OLED Steam Deck has Wi-Fi 6E. The original Deck only has Wi-Fi 5.
