For a lot of games, Steam is just an installer. They start fine on their own if you copy the folder.

Sure. On the other hand, one implementation seems like it would be fairly useless.


Yeah, functionality between these varies, I know some of them can tell you what capabilities the cable’s chip spits out.


These days a ~10€ gadget can tell you about the electricity going through a USB connection and what the cable is capable of. I don’t like the idea of basically requiring this to get that knowledge, but considering the limited space on the USB-C plugs I’m not sure anything is likely to improve about their labeling.
CAD on Linux sucks. Most is made as Windows only, and many people have tried running it through Wine (Bottles) or other janky methods. Don’t even try it.
How is gaming not a problem any more, but CAD is? Shouldn’t the same tools work to enable both?


Your Wi-Fi also needs a cable if you want to be pedantic.
The benefit is that there is no overhead involved, in theory you don’t even have to think about charging your phone ever again. When it’s not in use, just leave it on some of the dedicated places around the house and office that provide wireless charging.


If you don’t require it to replace cables it doesn’t need to. For adding some energy to the device while it’s on your desk or nightstand it works perfectly fine.
The efficiency issue is also exaggerated, phones don’t take much power to begin with. Anyone using AC or warm water for convenience is doing much worse in terms of spent energy.
That’s the point everyone making these memes is missing. If they actually had nukes already, none of this would be happening.
This offensive is supposed to make sure they don’t develop nuclear weapons, whether the reasoning is fabricated or not.
RT is a great vibe check. I don’t use movie ratings directly to decide what to watch, but to gauge whether a movie that already seems interesting is likely to be worth the time.


Valve is worth $10 billion and Gabe Newell owns >50% of it.
I’ve been there during this time and this is the first time I’m hearing of this game as well as Valve doing this. Thanks for bringing it up. Any more examples?
