Black Books

Overdrive (which is Libby) integrates directly into the Kobo OS so you can borrow books directly on the device instead of the roundabout way you have to do it on the Kindle.

It's basically a documentary about himself

I know this might sound like overkill but I have ear issues so it's necessary for me.

Tips go in a little dish of 99% iso alcohol. Don't have to worry about the whole evaporation to water ratio that is often mentioned. Then if there is visible crud I will use a soft textured toothbrush (like for kids, the extra soft kind) and let them air dry (which is very fast because alcohol)

For the rest, a cotton swab dry to remove crud, and then all the parts go into a UV sterilization box (open the lid of the case to make sure the UV gets in there too)

It's a whole ritual but it keeps me from getting irritated ears.

And yes I have over the ear headphones but I can't lug those around everywhere all the time like earbuds.

And never ever use soap because it can and will break water surface tension and penetrate barriers like the speaker and microphone grills.

Yeah I've actually thought about doing that and making it an office desk calendar or something. Thanks for reminding me!

I sure am glad I got a Kobo for myself for Xmas and ripped all my books to it. Guess I'll be recycling my Kindle for good.

Came here to say this

Well seeing as how Tim was right up there next to Sundar I'm not the least bit surprised.

I open up my wallet, and it's full of blood.

 

It's everything from Gemini itself, to even the new Screenshots app on the Pixel 9 series devices. Even though the Screenshots app is supposed to process data locally, you can't search for various words like Trump, or Republican, Democrat, etc.

The funny thing is, the processing still summarizes a screenshot even if it contains words like that, you just can't search for them.

People in Houston generally drive 30mph above the speed limit anyway so this is just business as usual.

(I hate it by the way. Houston drivers are so incredibly dangerous. It's absolutely insane.)

Propaganda. Mostly funded by the rich, in order to, of course, stay on the top of the class hierarchy. Easier to be a filthy evil oligarch when the "rabble" just fight each other and don't pay any attention to you, or worse, kiss your boots.

I’ve tried to search around the web for this issue, but recently, (sometimes) after I exit a game and get dropped back into the steamdeck UI, I can’t click on some interface elements. If I go to a community tab and click on a post, nothing happens, some UI elements like the search bar don’t register as well (but they make the sound when I try) but worst of all, many of the menu options, specifically the power menu, I can no longer click. So of course, I can’t shutdown or reboot without doing a hard shutdown. Anyone else experiencing this lately? On the latest stable build as of this reply. I’m fine with switching to beta but I don’t want to break DeckyLoader, which tends to happen on the SteamOS beta channel.

Edit: the only workaround i've found so far is to add Konsole to the steamOS as a launchable item, then go into Konsole and type the linux command for rebooting: sudo shutdown -r now
