  • Yeah, at this point, most forms of image identification catches have also been defeated, not quite 100% success yet, but they're getting there

  • There's a reason captchas have moved mostly image identification systems. These text-based captchas have all been defeated for years.

  • TIL the term "Spaghetti Western" refers to Western films made in Europe. It's called such because most of these films were directed by Italians.
  • Macaroni generally has an association with cheap Mac & Cheese box meals. I do agree that, on a broader scale, they are both pasta and not really functionally much different.

  • I was informed that Japanese people often referred to these as "Macaroni Westerns" which I think is even even better as it effectively also implies that they are cheaply made

  • Valve made the right decision
  • SteamOS 1 and 2 were Debian based, but SteamOS 3 (the version that launched with the Steam Deck) is Arch based.

  • Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores
  • For the sake of completeness, I will point out that Amazon also owns the "Whole Foods" brand of grocery stores. Not particularly relevant to this article, but Amazon indeed has quite a lot of grocery stores as a result.

  • Owners Report Valve’s Priciest Steam Deck Model Has A Cracking Problem
  • My suspicion is that it is potentially a result of thinner shells. You look at something like Game Boy Color or Nintendo 64, and those things have quite thick shells with plenty of empty space inside, mitigating any potential structural loss due to transparency additives (ABS is not naturally transparent). Newer devices have thinner shells to reduce weight and maximize space for components, potentially leading to problems like this when using translucent plastic.

  • This is something of a reoccurring problem with translucent plastics.

  • The Day Before Has Already Lost 80% of Its Players in the First 3 Days on Steam
  • No idea. I actually dug up the original trailer that apparently got everyone hyped, it came off as very basic.

  • Something tells me I overtightened the nozzle
  • Been there before. Thankfully, replacement blocks are pretty cheap.
