  • Mostly my problems with Steam OS (and windows Big Picture Mode) is the seeming lack of options for controllers that aren’t Xbox or steam controllers. Steam used to be excellent at this but more recently in Windows 11 (and in Steam OS) the controller support is great when it works but if you want a more granular experience it’s just not there). I somehow have less settings and options for controllers support than I did in Windows 10, and the way it detects controllers cannot seemingly be changed. So if you’re like me and own an SN 30 Pro2 controller with back paddles, you can’t configure them without jumping through a whole lot of hoops. And in game that means that you’re just not going to be able to use them which is a minor inconvenience but one that’s been bugging me.






  • I did after the update. Their comment doesn’t account for people who are old enough to vote/and counted in the census but still are not eligible voters. 78.76 percent of eligible voters voted. The total number of people who voted is 10,999,265 out of a total number of eligible voters 13,949,168.

    This is important context that was missing from both the original comment and the edited comment.

    57 percent of the people who voted voted for abortion rights. That’s 6,269,581 voters. Since the bar for a measure to pass in Florida is 60 percent, we know that if the other 2,949,903 people had voted at all and they’d voted in favor that would have passed the abortion rights initiatives on the ballot. In fact the abortion rights initiative only needed 109,927 more votes in order to pass. It was extremely close to passing.

  • It is to some degree. Lots of other new cars have lane keeping assist and automatic braking, BLIS, adaptive cruise control etc, and so on with more capable sensors and can for the most part drive without input from the driver better than the Tesla models with ultrasonic sensors or simply cameras. In fact the ones that rely solely on cameras absolutely do reportedly perform worse in testing. Musk was insistent that they could cheap out on the types of sensors used in order to make more profit and it shows. I don’t think it’s that tech cannot handle self driving currently. I think that it’s a numbers game where the firms attempting it want to do it as cheaply as possible while promising the moon and stars which they can’t deliver on a cheap budget. Vehicles like Ford’s (Blue Cruise) use all kinds of sensors including radar and GPS to allow for handsfree (not self driving) and it does work. The proofs of concept are out there in the world, but the costs to go from something like that to full self driving just doesn’t make it feasible for the average car manufacturer.
