It's like when the Republicans control the white house, congress, and the senate, Democrats can't push any consequences because the republican majority just shoot it down.

Seriously, every attempt to impeach Trump, or block these things from happening just get thrown out because there is enough Republicans to vote against it. The US checks and balances weren't designed to consider this amount of corruption would be voted in. In the end, this is what enough who voted for, wanted.

More than half of PC handhelds sold are Steam Deck.

Conservatives keep saying they’re for the common people.

They are, they just didn't say ouotloud that are for the common people being jailed/deported.

Defense attorneys claim that some of the body cam footage is missing including 20 seconds of when Mangione was being questioned by a police when an officer placed his hand over his body cam and the 11 minutes during which the backpack was transferred from the McDonalds to the Altoona Police Department Precinct. The motion goes on the state that once that officer’s body cam footage resumes, it shows her immediately re-opening and closing the backpack compartments she already searched and then opening the front compartment of the backpack “as if she was specifically looking for something. Instantly, she ‘found’ a handgun in the front compartment.”

As for the 2nd, the gun was only "found" after the body cam had been off for 11 minutes, and only at the police station.

Rockstar was a PC gaming company before they went into consoles. GTA 1 and 2 were made for PC before being ported to console.

Create your own 2nd/3rd account, and use the same emails but with the + option. https://www.streak.com/post/gmail-plus-addressing-trick (This works with more than just Gmail) So your main account is main@whatever.com, then your second account would be main+1stKid@whatever.com. This way you don't have many different emails to manage, but Steam (last I checked) will see these all as different so everything can be managed by you.

I'm curious what CPU was in it, as there aren't any CPUs listed from 2019 that aren't supported.

These were done in crowded, enclosed areas. And not very discreetly.

It is banned under the same laws and rules, but since it takes less than 2 seconds to take a hit and blow it downwards so it doesn't show on cameras, you have to be there the moment it happens or they will deny it was then. I see kids vaping on the bus often, and this is what they do. Yes, kids. I see 12-14 year olds doing this. I've also seen people doing big vape clouds in bars, beside the signs saying no vaping.

Things have changed since then. Steam not only has a Linux client, but also has Proton which loads most Windows apps (it's marketed for games, but in reality it will work on Windows apps).

AI Summary:

After many years, fans have successfully created a native PC port of Sonic Unleashed, called Unleashed Recompiled. This allows the game to run on modern PCs. The project utilized tools like XenonRecomp and XenosRecomp, which convert PowerPC code and Xenos shaders into x86 PC-compatible C++ and HLSL code, respectively. This means that, in theory, any Xbox 360 game can be recompiled for PC. The PC port supports modding, allowing players to enhance the game with new features and customizations, such as Music Attenuation and raising the FPS cap above 60 FPS. Users who want to play with Unleashed Recompiled or create their own Xbox 360 recompilations must legally obtain their copies of the Xbox 360 titles and DLC.

Experiment with Google Pixels: New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) collaborated with Google to use Google Pixel smartphones for track inspections on the subway system. How It Worked: Six Pixel phones were mounted on subway cars, using their sensors and external microphones to detect track defects by recording audio, vibration, and location data. AI Technology: The collected data was used to train AI models to predict track issues. The system, known as TrackInspect, identified 92% of defects later confirmed by human inspectors. Human Involvement: Despite the technology, human inspectors are still essential for maintenance and verification. Robert Sarno, an assistant chief track officer, played a significant role in labeling the data collected by the phones. Future Plans: The MTA and Google plan to expand the experiment to a full pilot project, with the aim of creating a modernized system to automatically identify and organize track repairs.

The goal is to catch defects early to minimize service disruptions for the 3.7 million daily subway riders in New York City.
