Seems odd that they used the product but it doesn’t appear to mention steam deck support on the halo website or even the steam store page.

Seems too big of a mess up for it to not have been caught in review, so what is the intention of it. To get people to try and install windows in the steam deck just to play halo on steam, because I don’t really see that happening much.

You are in luck because you can make this an alias (custom command) in your .bashrc file:

alias update='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'

Not enough sleep - death

Too much sleep - death

Just the right amount of sleep - believe it or not also death.

I was thinking the same, but also thinking the product itself is ai. Seemed odd the article doesn’t link to the company site.

It almost seems like it appeared out of no where. Top search result is a mastadon account that registered 2-3weeks back. Their website doesn’t even appear in searches.

Have we reached the point of circularity. Ai creating products to then write blog posts about. Just infinite hype with no real content/products.

It’s 2026, do you even need a full keyboard anymore? This year’s badge is a three-key USB macro pad with only the keys that matter for Al-assisted programming: Y, 2, and Enter. Yes, allow it. Always allow. Submit. You’ve just approved every suggestion, every file edit, every tool call.

Congratulations, you’re a 10x engineer now! This year’s badge is built around a PIC16F1455 with USB-C HID. The board lights up with 25 addressable RB LEDs 22 side-mount SK6812s for edge glow and 3 WS2812B per-key backlights. Kailh hot-swap sockets let you bring your own switches. Now that you’re the most productive person at your company, you can focus on enjoying the conference!

So I can’t say this is true for each “brand” of machine, however just from observing how it works where I vote.

They scan your ID with the computer. This activates a key card. That key card is then inserted into the voting machine allowing a ballot to be cast.

Even if you assume those records are not directly tied together. It would then be trivial for anyone with access to both data sets to just use time stamps to match the id scan to the time the ballot was submitted.

The thing that I never hear brought up about voter id, is that voter id + electronic voting means your vote is no longer anonymous.

And in my opinion this is the real reason why they are pushing for it. How do improve your propaganda machine if you don’t know individual results. Let alone all the more sinister reasons this information would valuable to an authoritarian regime.

You mean environmental toxins like germs?
