I adore the Steam Deck inputs and having that in a standalone controller is just awesome, plus it makes for a great remote control for my pc in desktop mode.

The gyro would be awesome for Wii emulation. Only things I miss from the OG Steam Controller are the two-stage triggers.

I hope that's what they'll do. The controller is all I need right now; if prices weren't so fucked I'd get a Steam Frame but nah

Sounds kinda like F#A#∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emperor in concept.

That's the one good side effect of AI, it makes people want to move away from technology where it's not really necessary

Angus beef Taylor hardly looks like an improvement but eh, at least not cheapo Voldemort again

I mean, yeah, it does look kinda cool. Not sure why they think that all I do all day is stare at screws, but that's just me.

"Hey mate, got a new car today"

"Wow, that's awesome. How does it drive?"

"Dunno, I just bought it to look at the screws. Look, they're shaped like the BMW logo!"

I mean yeah, audiophile cables are 100% a rip-off every time. You can spend thousands on a cable without it having any real benefits.

It makes more sense to just buy decent speakers and a decent amp, along with a good audio source (any CD player).

Transparency and Consent are definitely two words that come to mind when I think about Windows /s

That's not really true. You can download lightweight models to run with LM Studio just as easily.

$85 a month for a mediocre laptop that I'm probably not allowed to modify in any way? Yeah, nah.

Doesn't really sound like it's going to affect me but maybe this will make more of my mates join matrix

 

Looks more like a cove imo

Near West Head, Sydney. Sorry for the crappy photo, I had to zoom in quite a bit.

 

Super cool location, felt pretty unreal actually being there... shame you can't go inside any more

Edit: Seems like they made a new website for it! I hope they can turn it around somehow

Before you say something, I am aware now that cashew nuts aren't that good for them (too fatty) and that you probably shouldn't feed them at all.

I went to the Lagoon that morning specifically to feed a cocky and I did... as well as about a dozen ducks. I'm sorry, I won't do it again.

 

Sat there for 20+ minutes just taking it all in

 

Saw some people posting random pictures lately, figured I might as well join in. This was near Wollundry Lagoon in Wagga

 

First of all, sorry if this really isn't the right spot for this but I figured that maybe some Aussies in here recognise it.

I've had this stuffed frilled-neck lizard since roughly 2006 when a family member brought it back from Australia for me, I know for sure that my brother had a stuffed dinosaur with a similar design on it. According to the tag it was hand made in Australia by "Kurrajong Aboriginal Products". A quick search brought me to a company with the same name that sells child education books and hand made dolls, so the connection is kinda there but I can't be sure; they don't sell stuffed animals (anymore). I'd really like to know if anyone has seen these or even has one.

Here's some pictures I took of it.

When I was in Australia myself a while ago I searched for similar things but couldn't find anything. Even the museum shops I went to only seemed to sell generic Chinese-made stuff, which really is a shame but anyway...

 

I just came back from a 6 week trip to Australia; spending time with my relatives (some of whom I've never met before or haven't seen in 20 years) and I had a really really really great time. Everyone was so welcoming and just appreciative; I was really overwhelmed by how amazing the whole experience was.

On my flight back I was crying the whole time; I never felt like that before and just couldn't handle my emotions (much to the dismay of the people sitting next to me). Most of all I just didn't wanna return to my dysfunctional family in Germany. It's been my goal to move to Australia for some time now but after this experience I'm determined to move as soon as possible. It's gonna take a lot of figuring stuff out and it won't be easy but I'll make it work.

Just wanted to get that out there I guess.

Edit: if someone happens to have a few tips and pointers for me regarding my plans they would be greatly appreciated

 

Does anyone know how to order or configure the P14s G5 AMD with a OLED display on the German Lenovo site?

The OLED display seems to be NA exclusive apart from a few overpriced offers from third party sites...
