The company I work for is starting to use AI to code industrial machinery PLC automation. We just used it for a system after refining what it spit out.

Sorry you lost your arm there bud, the code is still "learning"

The power supply is only going to output what it needs, nothing more. The wattage is a max rating. Oversizing will never harm anything

Call the utility company

Fuck no. I'm an electrician and wouldn't do that. A nick could be under that birds nest and you'd never see it. Call the utility company. They'll take care of this.

For Linux, this is kind of a stupid workaround but I've had success, add the installer as a non-steam game and run it through proton by switching to it in the "game's" compatibility. Running it through wine has been hit or miss for me, it'll crash or freeze up, but proton has worked pretty well so far.

Then after unpacking, install the game's .exe as a non-steam game and run that through proton, deleting the first installer from your library

I didn't go with speed queen because they're nearly double the price of all other washer/dryers. I know they're built like tanks and don't really fail, or if they do they're easy to fix. But I've also heard they can be tougher on clothes and wear them out quicker.

Ultimately ended up going with Maytag. It's been solid for the past 6 months, no issues at all and I got a free 5 year warranty from the small local appliance store I bought it in, so maybe check them out opposed to the big box stores. They fix it if there are problems, not Maytag.

Also look for one with a "deep fill" option. All new washers have a federal requirement now that makes them "high efficiency" which really is just using way less water and spraying them for an hour. Whether this fully washes your clothes is a bit of a debate, but I guess that's how most are in Europe now. The "deep fill" option is supposed to be if you're washing bed sheets or very soiled clothes, but I still use it to soak my clothes.

It does this natively on Linux.

Man sign me up because I haven't had AC in like 10 years haha.

Some folks on here said they have problems with the EA launcher on Linux. Is the steam deck different or did you just work around it?

The last half of this is some doomer nonsense. Please still choose how you want to live and make the best of it. I surround myself with those that I love, build the home and future I want, enjoy my career to some extent, travel, exercise, go to shows and events, hang with friends and enjoy the company of my own little community. The fact that humanity might go extinct within the next couple hundred years does not change that and is completely out of my control.

My city only has the bus, which is super unreliable and the times might as well not exist half the time, or what happened to me recently was they changed stops for a route and Google maps never updated. It's typical to wait for an hour for a bus, sometimes they zoom right past you, or you need to transfer between lines. They're also planning on cutting 35% of bus lines next year, raising the fare, and stopping service at 11 pm, all due to lack of funding. You can read more here:

There is a train, but it only goes to the suburbs outside of the city. The bus is your only option when you're in city limits.

I would take some more confusing steps over there not being an option at all.
