What I am searching for is for games that support touch screens and can be played with 1 finger / one hand. No action games with fake joysticks on the screen, just games that work with a single finger or at least one hand while lying in bed and trying to wind down. One very good example is Civilization V, which has a dedicated...
They are themselves abstraction layers for the apps that are made for them. Software has many levels of abstraction from what you see on the screen all the way down to hardware.
In case you’re out of the loop, the old Steam Deck had Philips screws that screwed into self-tapping plastic holes. This lead to occasional stripped threads and often stripped screwheads....
The only thing is, the refurb market can’t be that great to pay for this change. You might not think it, but changing to better screws and adding the metal threads is crazy more expensive.

I still have my white 701 that I put a black keyboard on and soldered in a Bluetooth module. Some of the most fun I’ve had using a computer and I wish the form factor was still a thing.
Not sure if anyone would be interested, but the Internet Archive has a huge collection of old time radio shows from the 1930s and 40s especially. These include dramas, mysteries, horror, comedy, etc. Unfortunately, the website isn’t super voiceover friendly, but it’s possible to use. Anyway, thought I’d toss this out...
Because in situations like this, segregation is a good thing. You don’t want automated tools futzing in directories that you might have wanted to keep as-is.
I love cooking, and I cook every day for me and my wife (home office since 2008 helps there), and I love hearing about new things. I have the book “The Science of Cooking” which was fascinating.
For #3 and for people that might not have sodium citrate handy, adding a slice of American cheese to cheese sauces will do the same thing as there’s plenty of sodium citrate in there to go around.

Here in WA state, the minimum wage per hour is $15.74 (higher in some areas). Tipping culture says 20%, but that’s generally to support lower paid waitstaff in areas that can pay less than minimum wage by employers. Where/What are you tipping and what kind of service would you expect for a 20% tip?
Unfortunately, until laws like that pass, it doesn’t put money in my bank account. I opt to do both until then. No need to punish workers for something they can’t always help.
Shall I get you a stool so you can get off your horse?
That is exactly what you are doing, punishing staff. They may not have the choice to have their job and all you do by not tipping them is punish them for your high ideals. Don’t like tipping? Sure, that’s fine. Want to vote for laws that get rid of it? Hell yeah the more people voting the better. But not tipping just so you can justify your your ideals and only hurt the real victim here? Asshole. Want to really hurt the real perpetrator? Don’t fucking go to a place that has tipping in the first place.
