A couple of days ago at work we announced the Steam Deck OLED. It’s available next week (Nov 16) and though it’s got a bunch of great improvements like longer battery life, faster downloads, the star is the ultra-bright HDR OLED screen.

The screens are ridiculously bright and vibrant, so we thought it would be fun to use actual Steam Deck OLEDs as lighting sources to light our entire launch trailer.

Of course this necessitated building a giant metal orb. First though, here’s the final spot:

I really love everything about Rob Rey's painting "Origins: Complexity Rising"

(If only I had thousands of dollars burning a hole in my pocket and the ability to take care of such a wonderful painting.)

I'm thinking about replacing my iPad Mini. Is there a comparably sized (7-8") tablet which runs either Linux or a community-supported deGoogled Android? Postmarket or Calyx or Graphene, something like that.

Boosts appreciated.

Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters take more bytes in #UTF-8 encoding than Latin letters. This seems unfair. However, CJK characters represent whole words or syllables, so CJK text in UTF-8 can still take fewer bytes than its English equivalent.

I may have ordered a Pentax 67 camera yesterday, because apparently I’m not financially ruined enough so I need to get into medium format too. Comes without a lens though so I’ll still need to get one of those. Probably 105mm?

I don't know how to say it more clearly: the coordinated killing of innocent people was wrong on October 7 and it has been wrong every day since October 7. This is not the kind of pop quiz I thought we would so catastrophically fail as a global society.
