  • I have a Baseus 65w one, it can fully match the deck’s max charging rate of 45w and is pretty nice. It also can show what voltage and amperage it’s charging at, which is nice for identifying if something is fast charging or not.

    Unfortunately it looks like it’s not for sale anymore, which makes me concerned that it might have the same battery cell safety hazard that forced Anker to issue a recall.











  • There would have to be limitations on how many people could get paid for some degree types. It doesn’t do society much good to foot the bill for degrees that don’t have actual related job opportunities. It could maybe work where just heavily needed jobs get wages paid, while other degrees are only offered under the current system.

    Another thing here is that this would be another form of taxes used to directly benefit businesses. If taxes pay to educate a lot more employees for a job market, the companies in that market would directly benefit by being able to pay lower wages. I wonder if we could do a different system where companies could offer sponsorships for specific degrees in exchange for employment, similar to how ROTC works.





  • Part of it is that minor changes can be incredibly disruptive to our personal lives, while having no meaningful effect on the bigger picture.

    There was a movie (About Time I think) where this lineage of guys can time travel as some inhereted ability. They have a strong rule within the family though to never time travel to before one of their children is born, because the smallest change can result in a different sperm/etc and finding they have completely different child when they return to the present.

    I didn’t really want kids, but my wife did, so we compromised and had 6.

    Jokes aside I found it super fulfilling, I had struggled a lot with depression and feeling like everything was pointless, but raising kids gives me a purpose and makes mudane stuff like work feel meaningful. I definitely get what the comic is talking about, it’s rough a lot of the time, but it was what I unexpectedly needed in my life.


  • I’m trying to look for it, but having trouble finding it.

    I vaguely want to say that it was also maybe related to having pending downloads. It was like if you were playing a non-steam game, the sleep process would trigger the deck to start downloading again, interrupting the sleep. Once sleep was interrupted the game would start running again and downloads would be paused, making it seem like the deck failed to sleep for no reason. If you didn’t have any downloads pending, the deck would go to sleep fine even in a 3rd party game. Unfortunately the deck frequently has a couple mini-updates available whenever you close a game, so this bug happened pretty often.

    Once again steam games didn’t seem to have the same issue, and downloads would stay paused through the sleep process so it didn’t get interrupted.

    This might have also been related to the decky plugin “pause games” actually, the more that I think of it.
