Must be on the ballot in enough states to win the election.

That’s going to automatically cut out 95% of them.

Must be polling at least 3% in 3 statewide or national polls.

That will leave you with:

Harris
Trump
Stein

Debates aren’t about “giving everyone a voice”, if you can’t become a viable candidate without a debate, the debates can’t help you.

PS5 Pro - only marginally better than an option that’s only $450.

Steam Deck OLED - only marginally better than an option that’s only $300.

Even if you need one immediately and can’t wait on Amazon, it’s back to school season. They are plentiful everywhere. Target, Walmart, Kroger, Staples, Office Depot, etc. etc. etc.

I just did this for the motherboard on my desktop PC (thanks Intel and your CPU update!) and it requires a clean boot device of some kind to boot into UEFI. It has nothing to do with the OS of the device.

In my case, yeah, I did it from a thumb drive, but I could see making a boot CD that has the bios files on it as well.

OTOH if you have the capability of burning and booting a boot CD it’s probably way easier to just use a thumb drive.

One thing I’ll note, on my motherboard, only using the keyboard to navigate the UEFI menu failed to update. :( I had to connect a physical mouse to run the menus.

I heard all the controversy about Dustborn and picked up the free demo, it’s a decent little Telltale style game.

Imminent danger. Call the cops.

I thought Nintendo shut that down? Or was that just Switch emulation?

Yeah, the MicroSD slot is around 100mb/s:

USB-C is anywhere from 5 Gbps to 20 Gbps. Not sure what standard the Deck supports, but even the slowest is 625 to 2500 mb/s.

The Call of Duty franchise is one of the biggest games going. PUBG Battlegrounds is huge, so is Destiny 2.

I use a 2TB Kingston SSD through the USB-C port. All the Steam Deck stuff stays on the internal drive, Windows 11 on the Kingston.

There are also docks that support NVMe:

That’s… that’s a lot of games.

As far as I’m aware, all Steam Decks can dual boot. On my machine you hold volume down on power on to access the boot manager.

I didn’t partition the internal drive because I wanted to preserve the original install, so I boot from the external SSD for Win 11.

Some games have security software that requires Windows. Destiny 2 for example.

Weird that the drivers are that dramatically different for the OLED version.

The standard Steam Deck Windows drivers have been out for ages, I have a Win11 external SSD and it works fine.

First started using Macs with OS7 and I find the whole Mac vs. Windows arguments silly. Windows 386, 3.1, and 3.11 were garbage, yes, but all that changed with Windows 95 and it instantly went head and shoulders above MacOS.

OSX didn’t come about until 2001. So Windows had the edge for 6 years. To give you some idea, the initial G3 iMacs that came out in 1998 were still running OS8.

The big problem with using a Mac back then is that Steve Jobs had his own ideas about the way things should work and the lack of compatability with other industry standards was a problem.

Example: Getting my Palm Pilot to sync with my iMac was a NIGHTMARE. I worked with Palm support for several weeks and we finally got it working, if the dock was connected to the iMac directly. The USB ports on the keyboard didn’t carry enough voltage to operate properly.

Windows machine? No problem… until Windows 98, when Microsoft decided to prioritize Windows CE devices and intentionally broke Palm functionality. That was fun! Took a while to get the driver updates to fix that one!
