The new Microsoft Office icons hit my phone and they opted not to put the letters on them.

Developers: We're open to hear your feedback!

Me: Report bugs and suggest new features.

Developer 1: Not that kind of feedback!

Developer 2: Actually you don't know what you're talking about.

Randomly learned Linus had to get braces again because his teeth shifted back. Yes again and yes they shifted back.

Oh my god. KDE finally added auto light and dark themes.

Okay it was buggy and didn't respect custom times at first. But after a few updates, it's behaving as expected. They give you a transition timer while you're logged in, so it won't be so abrupt set to 30 minutes by default. I changed it to 5 minutes. The only issue I have with it now is I like to have the accent color tint my panels and windows and use Oxygen icons and window buttons. It only supports the Breeze theme by default, so I had to copy the Breeze theme files to my local folder to edit them via text editor to change the defaults to my preferred theme.

Teeth do shift over a person's lifetime. Usually not that much, but it is why they periodically need to do new x-rays. And not just for the money.

Seems like there's a lot of hype/talk about Valve's next hardware/console or their new VR kit aka Steam Frame being announced very soon (today). Some speculation HL3 could also be announced... Eh, I'll believe it when I see it.

I know there's the new Steam Controller 2 that was leaked recently, too.

Looks like PC Gamer accidentally jumped the gun, so it must be coming:

After trying Valve's new VR headset, I'm ready to ditch cables for good

Valve's new VR headset is completely wireless and very convincing.

Makes sense with Microsoft basically giving up on Xbox. It is perfect timing.

You know if Valve had just launched the one with Alienware as the only Steam Machine, they probably be in a better place hardware wise.

Oh, you mean last time around. Yeah, the partner project was a bad idea. The whole way consoles work is economies of scale. One set of hardware mass produced at reduced cost. They seem to have learned that lesson with the SteamDeck.

I was so confused when they released different machines all at once. I was like why not stick with one hardware partner to develop it and upon each refresh cycle choose another popular PC gaming manufacturer. I think we would have seen a more mature Steam OS albeit based on Debian rather than Arch.

Here's the official announcement from Steam

Here's the official announcement from Steam

At 2:23, there's a SOON™ sticker as well as a CENS(ORED?) sticker over a H(L3?) sticker.

Yo, why are they teasing us like this...

The amount of money Big Tech spends on trying to salvage AI's image could be used to actually improve their products and the user experience instead.
