Was about to mention this.

One would believe an atomic clock to show the same time in seconds despite the celestial body it orbits. Though, that appears to be a fallacy and begs the question, what about relativity? Two identical atomic clocks would show different times depending on the influence of gravity (like near-lightspeed travel), so does everyone carry a clock around with them?

Or, at least that's what I remember from physics class.

Can't those both be true at the same time?

The "system" is working as intended by the rich elite/, which means that it's fundamentally broken for the general populace, and therefore must be fixed, which is easiest done by first destroying and then rebuilding it?

Seems like an oxymoron to me, but I'm not entirely sure of the context.

What really sets the Steam Controller (and the Steam Deck's control layout) apart from the market are the dual touchpads and dynamically/easily programmable buttons. The above just looks like a reskinned XBox controller, and, if I read the article right, it needs a "companion app" to get full functionality out of the controller.

I hope that they at least made sure that the companion app works on the Steam Deck.

You thought journalism had reached rock bottom already? Watch this:

Oh, no no, I was talking about the down votes that you've been receiving. My bad!

Doesn't matter, it's fun to see how far you can bend definitions (and I did go rather far with that one).

Also, I'm not sure where those down votes are coming from. Showerthoughts don't need to be fully logical, taking all edge cases into account, etc. After all, it's just a showerthought to discuss and joke/awe about.

In that case, you'd never see anything through anything but a "screen" because of the lens in your eye. (Using the definition of "screen" to be a "barrier", which in this case provokes a transformation, or projection, of light.)

That's fair. Better than running fillers until then. Plus, One piece has been running pretty steady the past ~20 years with few breaks.

Ideally, a .mp4, or any other non-executable file format, would not be able to execute rogue code on your computer, but the programs you use to open the files with might have security flaws which allow rogue code execution if done right.

You might have a hypothetical file, which might not be dangerous if opened with VLC, but which exploits a flaw in, say, Windows Media Player version x.y.z to execute a payload.

Sorry, for not including any examples, I'm currently not at the PC.

In other words: OP is barking up the wrong tree as the EVs have little to no correlation with the non-EV-related carbon footprint of the EV owners.

Unless, of course, if OP is implying that EVs are too hard to acquire for the less wealthy consumers, though I somehow doubt that.

Are people wealthier because they own an EV, or are people who own an EV generally wealthier?

Well, almost (49/51%).

Needless to say, the steam deck has definitely found its place playing Monster Hunter, Graveyard Keeper, and sometimes even Guild Wars 2 and factorio.

It does run Deep Rock Galactic and Vermintide 2 too, but I feel those are better played on the rig.
