So… Is that kinda like a linux subsystem for windows?

I’m sarcastically referring to microsofts telemetry, UI changes, and anything else they try to sell that a lot of people simply don’t want or like.

I’m on the Index. Afaik steamvr is the only thing that really works on linux.

Ah! A fellow beat saber enjoyer.

I’d argue that a lot of the other “additions” and “improvements” make any improvement in comfort irrelevant, as they are unbearable.

On a sidenote, you can set up a generic bottle in Bottles, and then set things up so that double clicking any miscellaneous .exe files just runs them in that bottle.

Yeah, things aren’t clear-cut. There are several matters in which Japan is painfully behind, and being such a populus country you can find people with views across the board.

But a lax justice system isn’t one of them. In fact Japan almost certainly has a huge problem with ostracising and convicting the innocent. You might hear about people losing their jobs just for getting arrested, even if found innocent.

And while laws also definitely need improving, it’s happening.

The main problem with stuff like age of consent, is going to be communities and groups of people who are behind on these things, and thereby shielding individuals from justice by keeping the bad things happening out of earshot of society at large. Their justice system might be brutally ruthless, but that doesn’t help if it never finds out about the crime in the first place.

That’s a completely different conversion.

And you might want to check Japanese conviction rates before making assumptions. Their system is damn near “guilty until proven innocent”.

Now, whether such crimes actually get reported, is again, another, different conversation. There absolutely are vile predators over there, as a judge publicly commented he thought it was weird he could get arrested for banging a 14-year-old.

But the ensuing scandal is also the reason why that dude is no longer a judge, and why the national minimum finally got raised.

There isn’t one. They are repeating a technically kind-of-true funny ha-ha internet factoid.

The effective age of consent is higher, as prefectures all have local laws setting it to something sane, but people say it’s 13 because it was the old national minimum on record up until last year.

And that national law was literally from over a hundred years back, and was finally updated last year to raise the national minimum to 16. Still lower than the 18 in effect in places like Tokyo.

Not since last year, when it was raised to 16.

Even then that was the national minimum set over a hundred years ago.

In practice it’s 18 in most prefectures, and has been for years, due to local law setting it to something sane.

Well yeah, you’d still have the limitation that you can’t connect multiple devices at the same time. But the idea is that just like before, nothing is actually stopping you from having as many devices as you like ready to go, all able to be used one at a time.

I already commented on this, but do they actually block you from setting up multiple devices with the same key?

I’ve had my own server node for a while, there’s nothing stopping me from using the same key and config on multiple client devices, as long as I don’t connect them at the same time.

I’m not limited to five keys, obviously, but the keys aren’t device specific. I could set up just one on the server, and then use it everywhere.

Does Mullwad stop this in some way?

That’s a pity.

Is there something preventing you from having the same key ready for use on more than one device? So that two devices that are never connected at the same time can take turns using the same key?

TL;DR They are moving to wireguard only.

I’m ok with that.

Some kind of cable labeling would be nice.

The deck charger uses USB PD. It will charge anything that supports the standard as fast as possible (up to its rated 65W) and use normal 5v USB for everything else.

Yes.

For the power matter, you don’t. The device being charged, the charger, and cable does.

If you mean what is the maximum wattage that will actually be used, that should be the maximum possible between the charger, cable, and device. So look at their specs. Whichever has the lowest maximum, is what the others will match.

USB PD defines a protocol for the device and charger to determine max safe power. If the cable is replacable (not attached to the charger), it must be rated for PD and be able to tell the charger it can handle more than just the usual 5 volts at 2 amps.

USB PD chargers only output the maximum safe amount of power. That’s why I can use my 65W steamdeck charger to charge my phone if I want to. It just outputs normal USB charger power if the device on the other end can’t verify it can handle more.

It’s also why my SteamDeck charger is what I use to fast charge my phone, because it can actually talk to it using the USB PD protocol to request the voltage and amps it needs to fast charge.

I have literally never run into that until now. That seems like a dog whistle pitched so high, not even rodents can hear it.

If the word fren is not fren, why is it fren-shaped?

I know that Thunder lets you “label” users so you can recongize them more easily, and I think you can find a list of labeled users somewhere in the app, too.
