That’s not the same unless something has recently changed. The scheduling just stops it from scheduling them during the day, it doesn’t make sure everything downloads in a single night.

And even then, that’s not a “do all it right now” button

Now it would be nice if they could add a download all updates button (if only for Steamdeck)

Going into that download screen and telling 20 games to download now before I’m going on a flight or something is a pain in the arse

Yeah I’ve personally never got the appeal

I think it’s that it basically has a grip on small economy

It’s a chat app yes, but it’s also Amazon, it’s also a payment provider, not just online either, you pay in shops with a WeChat QR code, I think if you’re going to a gig, your tickets are on WeChat

It’s basically all encompassing.

WeChat I guess

A fiver says OOP has never left their suburb

I saw an article about a cleaning robot that can climb stairs that’s just come out, it’s a quadruped thing.

If Ryanair doesn’t like what you’re doing, you’re on the right path

I guess I was more wondering why do the name change at all

But I’ve gone and looked it up now and apparently Wally is a less common name over there, so they changed it up to something more familiar.

Which now begs the question: is Waldo a common name over there? I don’t think I’ve ever met or heard of anyone other than this character go by that name

Why do you guys call him Waldo?

This might be the most stereotypically American thing I’ve ever seen

Beautiful ❤️

Not necessary preppers as that is someone who’s motivation is to mitigate some hypothetical future bad thing happening

I think most self-hosters are doing it out of a combination of technical exploration and mitigating real issues that exist today, e.g. cloud service outages or market exits causing something previously bought to be useful to become a temporary brick or permanent e-waste. Well, and cost in some cases, no one particularly enjoys having an extra bill for hosting.

I was doing some awful manual patching trying to get some Linux TV kernel patches into a raspberry pi kernel I was cross compiling on my main desktop.

IIRC I had both repos cloned for quick reference/source of truth and then a third I was using to do the actual work on. I remember running a du summary on my working directory with it all in at the end, and it was somewhere between 40-50GB.

There was probably a more space efficient way to achieve what I was doing, but there was no need to worry about that

I wouldn’t say a gamer is remotely exceptional, some modern games take up 200+GiB (which is ridiculous, but still reality)

If you’re a content creator or hobbyist that does anything with video, photo or audio, that’s gonna disappear in a flash. For example, I came back with ~30GiB of RAW photos from my last weekend away, and that’s before any processing which will create some intermediate TIFF/DNGs. If it was a week away I’d not even be able to pull them all onto my PC to process.

Hell, I’d be worried about using most of that up by just cloning and compiling a Linux kernel, I think last time I needed to do that I ended up using about 50GiB

I’d say sure, the average web browsing, word processing user you’re probably thinking of is going to be fine for a while, but all other use cases aren’t exactly exceptional.

70GiB was a good amount of free space about a decade ago, not really at all today

Oh I was more saying that’s quite a low amount of free space for an application to be putting a message like that up!

I think my desktop has something like 20TiB free out of around 60TiB currently and I’d just call that a comfortable place to be.

… But I’d understand if a disk tool gave me some grief over it

70GiB is lots of free space? 🤨

I think if that was all I had left I’d already have a new disk in the post

Of course the, now owned by the daily mail group, i uses a sensationalist headline to imply that the ID will be required for this

Rather than another option for people who have to carry a physical ID for age check purposes already

I’m gonna start pronouncing gnocchi as nookie to wind up my partner
