Thanks for the suggestion, but I really, really dislike voice to text input.

I use Microsoft SwiftKey for the same reasons, find it hard to switch or get used to anything else.

Having used SwiftKey since before Microsoft acquired them, I'm a little annoyed at all the shit they've tacked onto the keyboard (like no, I don't need Bing and ChatGPT in my keyboard, thank you very much). But nothing else let's me mix languages in the same way as SwiftKey.

I don't mind this. It's unreasonable to expect them to provide a free service forever without any kind of monetization.

Except that Spez can't convert those options until some time after IPO and probably only in a staggered way.

I never did Rails but I used Ruby for many personal projects in the 2000s.

When showing stuff to my coworkers or friends, I often joked how I tried to make my code look like it was already gzipped.

I have one of these, but only use it for SteamVR. Does this mean I can't update either?

AFAIK, the drivers come from Windows.

Edit:

From the article:

Existing Windows Mixed Reality devices will continue to work with Steam through November 2026, if users remain on their current released version of Windows 11 (version 23H2) and do not upgrade to this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2). This deprecation does not impact HoloLens.

Well fuck. This headset is the only reason I keep a Windows PC around at all.

Works for me in Belgium. Weird.

I can only recommend it.

I went to Spa this year with a few friends, with a standing only ticket. We had to walk over an hour to get to the spot we wanted to go. We then had to shovel the folding chairs we carried into the rocky hillside, and sit in the rain every day. We had to wake up at 6 every day to have a decent spot.

But I'd be lying if it wasn't the best weekend of my year so far.

Because everyone is there, loving the same thing you do, sitting through the same rain.

When the cars went behind the trees and out of our view, we could see them go round the track because the rain splashed into the air over three times higher than the trees.

We had a big screen to follow the TV broadcast across the track from us, and local commentators describing the race in 4 languages on the tracks dedicated FM radio station.

We watched all the events - F1, F2, F3, Porsche cup, historical demos. We learned to identify the different F1 cars by sound. It was almost a magical experience for me.

I want to do a Monza road trip one of the next years.

I don't know if shorter games should command a lower price. It depends on the value you get out of it.

Isn't that what FedNow is?

Just a nitpick: it's not always 19 more laps. It's the fewest amount of laps that puts the sprint race over 100km (about 62 miles). At COTA, that's 19 laps. Next time at Interlagos, it's 24.

Watching the race, Alonso and Stroll were pretty close. Not sure if Stroll found a reason to drive, or if it was the floor. But before Alonso retired, they had been 2-4s apart for a while, and even a pitstop before they were pretty neck and neck.
