9to5Google: AAWireless Android Auto adapter returns to Amazon
  • Depending on your usage, wired (due to being slow charging, typically) can actually drain the battery faster than it charges.

    But since you're using it tirelessly, you can use a fast charger via your 9v outlet (or other fast charging USB).

    It sucks it uses so much power, but you're probably better off if you need to charge your phone anyway

  • The Steam Winter Sale 2023 is now live
  • Really been enjoying Against the Storm - though I play mostly under 1x speed so I spend so long per level lol - slowly adjusting to speeding up...

  • 9to5Google: AAWireless Android Auto adapter returns to Amazon
  • Protip: Many cars use slow charging USB 2.0 for wired Android Auto - if you use this, you cab instead plug your phone into a fast charging outlet instead

  • Recording Game Clips Could Be Coming to Steam Deck - Steam Deck HQ
  • Yes please!

    The whole buffer/quick record that's been added to video card drivers have been a boon for capturing those blimo and you'll miss it episodes of hilarity.

  • Will Android Ever Be Able To Implement This
  • Pretty sure it actually predates Apple's version too...

  • [Discussion] Epic (so they says) Game Launcher on the Deck
  • Piracy is an issue of service, not price - Gabe Newell

  • QR codes can be phishing scams in disguise, warns the FTC - The Verge
  • This is exactly why restaurants shouldn't use QR codes as menus, they're attack vectors - anyone can just come in and slap on their own QR sticker.

  • foss physical button recommendations
  • Not yet - it has an API but any bridge hasn't been built. (To my knowledge)

  • Win a Steam Deck OLED or Lenovo Legion Go gaming handheld by watching The Game Awards
  • Tbf you weren't required to watch, just had to follow the link in the article to the gleam page.

    I'm sure the robots will enjoy their new OLED though.

  • Any simple alternatives to smoke ping?
  • I just use the ping integration of Home Assistant, simple for me since I've already got HA running.

  • Home Assistant 2023.12: Welcome home!
  • That functionality only works with Google Keep. Google killed off integration with third party apps early this year.

    I've just sworn off using it and using the app we were already using manually. Sort of hoping the year of voice will eventually produce a viable replacement because I'm sick of Google killing shit off and forcing you to use their app. "Be different, not the same" 🙄

  • [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - December 2023
  • Still finishing Control, as well as Kaiju Wars, which has helped scratch that Advance Wars itch while also being new

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I sort of wish God existed so they could tell this woman she's stupid af.

  • foss physical button recommendations
  • If you want to be FOSS, how about the haptic input button? You'll have to build it yourself though...

  • Fire TV now also displays full-screen video ads on its homescreen - FlatpanelsHD
  • Amazing how enshitification has continued to march on.

  • So who created the creator ?
  • Very relatedly, it's also contained in an anecdote Bertrand Russell reportedly experienced.

  • Google Messages prepares a feature that will do your ears a favor -
  • They're also apparently adding markdown which is neat, but considering all the recent Google news of them trying to lock down the web, I'd rather they focus on adding an RCS API so other apps can exist...

  • Autumn Sale
  • Control is a fantastic game - definitely recommend a completion run for all the lore.

  • Got any atheist anthems that you folks love listening to? I’m really all about that music life and I’m super curious to check out some atheist songs you guys might be into. Anyone have a favorite?
  • Listened to this sing for years before actually understanding the lyrics lol - considering I was an atheist for even longer, I wonder if my subconscious knew and just didn't tell me 🤷🏻‍♂️

    A Steering Council notice about PEP 703 (Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython)

    Posting for the whole Steering Council, on the subject of @colesbury’s PEP 703 (Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython). Thank you, everyone, for responding to the poll on the no-GIL proposal. It’s clear that the overall sentiment is positive, both for the general idea and for PEP 703 specifically. The Steering Council is also largely positive on both. We intend to accept PEP 703, although we’re still working on the acceptance details.
