  • I don’t really agree at all.

    The overwhelming majority of people are going to be calling from a cell phone with data access now. It’s time to consider including data access to emergency services w/ emergency roaming functionally just like we do with calls and sms. A system can and should be built out to provide emergency gps, video + information services like we described and live video calls. We have the technology we just have to cut through bureaucracy.

    Providing advanced smartphone functionality in emergencies could be hugely beneficial.


  • I haven’t bothered with gaming laptops in a while, but it seems like the work valve put into Proton is paying dividends. Steam deck is punching far above it’s weight class. Apparently a lot of games now are running better in Linux via proton than natively in Windows, which is kind of mind boggling. I don’t have to do any troubleshooting and everything runs great. I’d guess to get comparable performance on a laptop you’d have to spend 2-3x as much. Last time I used a gaming laptop it struggled on any ‘current’ games with lots of fuckery to get it running smooth.

    But like I said, I’ve long been out of the gaming laptop scene because I just never found them worth the trouble. Steam deck is the opposite of that and I play it in favor of my PC more than I care to admit.

    1. The nitrogen is to keep them from going stale in oxygen. The amount of nitrogen across various chip manufacturers ranges from 19% gas all the way to 59%. That discrepancy range is where the psychology comes into play.

    2. The gas is partially pack fill to keep them from getting crushed, obviously. My whole point was that it is significantly more gas than necessary for pack fill.

    Fact is if you make the package look bigger, people think there’s more. There’s a reason we have laws about unnecessary slack fill. Nice try though, Dwight
