  • I have never seen any of these things while browsing Steam. I feel like you have to go searching for it if you want to find it and you will find it on any platform if that is your intention.

    This report makes it feel like 4chan 2.0 which is a place that would fit their description.

    Instead this just feels like a lame attempt from Epic or some other competitor at pulling down Valve since they can’t/don’t want to directly compete fairly.

    I’m sure there are some disgusting racists and imagery on Steam, but not to the extent they’re making it out to be or that Valve approves of it. As a matter of fact, if you go check out controversial games like Dustborn or the newest Dragon Age, you’ll see that Valve has actually been suppressing negative reviews, regardless whether they contain offensive content or not.


  • I’m in the exact same situation. I noticed this months ago and never found a way to go back to look at an overview of my comments.

    YouTube used to be a legit social network back in the day where you could see your comments and people could comment directly to your channel profile. But with all the changes they’ve made, all of that doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

    You’d just have to go back to some of the videos you remember. Thankfully they do push your comments to the top of the list for easy access, but that’s only if your comment was a direct reply to the video. If it was to a comment under an existing comment, good luck.

    Even with me changing my settings, I still don’t get notified most of the time when someone replies to me, only if someone upvotes my comment. Every once in a while, it feels like 9 times out of 10, does that happen and only 1 time out of 10 do I get the notification someone replied.


  • The absolute irony of tech companies claiming to be for the environment while making plastic crap that is easier and cheaper to throw away than repair.

    But sure, please do tell us Microsoft/Google/Apple how environmentally friendly you are because you no longer include a charger with the $1k hunk of plastic!

    Compare that to bicycles. You’ll find a lot more people able to and actually taking a bicycle frame out of the garbage and repurposing it for a new bike or an exercise bike.






  • Kills me every time I think of how Robin could make everyone else smile and laugh their ass off but he was battling some serious depression on the inside and no one could do the same for him.

    I wish he knew the true impact he had on others, both personal and around the globe to his audiences.

    I suppose that’s a lesson we can all take from his life story. Be there for your loved ones and check up on them, even those who seem to have all the joy and happiness already, and don’t be afraid to open yourself up to them too when you feel life weighing down on you. We all go through something in some way and at some time regardless how it may appear on the outside.


  • When they took our photos? Oh that was more so for us as a souvenir. We got to meet and shake his hand and they took our picture and we got a copy of it to remember the occasion. About like meeting a celebrity at an event and they let you take your photo with them shaking their hand or doing something fun with them, just this being a political figure.

    I was a kid so I didn’t have a photo ID, but I remember they did have me write down where I lived and my name and my great aunt gave them her photo ID to prove who she is. I’m pretty sure they did that also in case something happened, like if a bomb got left with him or something then they had a list of names of people who physically met with him. This was less than a decade after 9/11 so we were still in a pretty heightened time, security-wise. It was during the Bush administration and this was his Attorney General he appointed over the country. If I remember correctly, he was also the first Latino Attorney General, so they may have also been concerned for his safety because of that too.


  • Sort of. My great aunt was working with district attorneys and was able to take myself and some of my cousins out there. It was a pretty fun experience.

    We rode a train and went to the downtown area and we also met the US Attorney General at the time where he had a photo op for all of us. Was my first and only time meeting someone so high up in the US government and I remember them checking our IDs and had us sign in with Secret Service before getting to shake his hand and take a picture. I have no idea where that picture is but I remember the event very well.

    We got to see some of what she did and interact with her coworkers and hang around the city area.


  • Just did my former friends earlier this year.

    Life is life. Gets crazy and we don’t work together anymore so we don’t get much time to hang out.

    He blew up on me about me never reaching out but like when? And I apologized and said I would try to make a better effort to reach out.

    After about an hour, he never texted me back and I realized that the last message sent before he blew up on me was me reaching out to him a few weeks prior and he never responded! So like wtf dude.

    So then he or his wife said something and I never responded and they texted me a few times for a few days after but I never replied, let alone read the messages.

    I was already on the edge about them anyway. They had a problem with everyone. Everyone eventually had a problem with them and it makes me feel like they’re likely the problem people in their various situations. They were very strict about things and it just never felt right with me.

    I gave them my car that I was no longer using and they were super appreciative which is how we became friends, but I honestly was just trying to be nice. I wasn’t really looking for friends.

    Idk. I feel bad about it sometimes but I also feel like it was long overdue for us to no longer be friends anymore.





  • It is possible but it needs people to develop the OS for each brand of TV and jailbreak the TVs to run another OS.

    Most TVs are like phones in that they have a locked down system and their bootloader/BIOS/UEFI is also locked down which is what ultimately needs to be unlocked to allow another OS to be installed.

    Why there isn’t?

    Just not really many developers interested in creating an OS for it. Probably because of so many different brands and models of TVs that would require lots of work since each one is pretty different from another.




  • The auto closing is driving me insane.

    I have 3 different computers I use on a daily and each of them encounter this issue multiple times each week. A meeting starts and I have to go start up Teams and wait for it to fully open to join the call. Or I have someone cold call me and I don’t get the call on my computer and won’t even after opening Teams.

    They can do a full refresh and release new features to make it look pretty but nothing has been done to address this issue that has been ongoing since day 1 of this “new Teams” refresh.
