At least the mod didn’t break as a result, had me worried for a second there.

I had dial-up through my Mom’s work’s VPN at the time and couldn’t even sign in to Steam with it, so I had to use an AOL 30-day trial just to be able to play the game.

When both the trial and Steam’s Offline mode timing ran out, I had sufficient motivation to learn how to crack WEP so I could borrow the neighbor’s WiFi

In terms of storyline, it doesn’t really matter too much.

I still think you should play through the first one. If you need something that feels less 1998, Black Mesa is a remake of the original Half Life and it is very fun.

Third party apps don’t have the ability to back up in the background all the time the way the native Photos / iCloud experience does. They need to be periodically opened to have temporary background access.

Launching the third party camera app cannot be done from the lockscreen.

What you’re not understanding is the entire point of folks’ complaints. With arbitrary restrictions put in place by Apple, there cannot be full parity in functionality between Apple’s native apps / cloud experience and those that can delivered by third party apps. While it’s possible to use third party apps, there are a bunch of little quirks and inconveniences that will ultimately drive the user back towards the native apps and spending money on Apple’s cloud service.

except you can, by plugging it into a computer locally

That’s not even remotely close to being the same as the experience iCloud offers.

The touchpads, virtual menus, layers / action sets, and overall control customizability really make the Steam Deck shine. PC Games with complicated keyboard-centric control schemes can be adapted to the Steam Deck so easily.

A handheld without that is going to be a hard sell for me no matter how well it performs. As a secondary device to a Gaming PC with a strong internet connection, cloud gaming makes my Deck handle whatever I can throw at it.

Steam

Windows Centric

You do realize what platform/company we’re talking about, right?

I tested this theory with half of my 12 tubs once, I did not notice any better flushes on either but it was a heck of a lot more work to cut compared to twist n’ pull.

With cutting, any piece of shroom that falls off in the tub and isn’t connected to the mycelia network will rot, risking contamination.

You’ve already got answers about rice so I won’t comment on that.

Once you’ve noted the corroded places, clean it by using 99% isopropyl alcohol and an ESD brush. In lieu of an ESD brush, a regular toothbrush is usually fine but best practice is to adhere to ESD protocols.

The main area you won’t be able to get to is the BGA underneath some of the ICs. To clean under there, the board would need to be put through an ultrasonic cleaner.

I usually give any wet board 24 hours to dry with a fan circulating air over it, flipping the board around the 12 hour mark. Humidity is usually 30-60% where I live.

Both, three rotations after the threads catch.

One or none bears the risk of the connector coming out crooked and bending the pins, causing a potential alignment issue on the next connection and bending them further.

It never seems to be the people who have actually used the mouse complaining about the port location.

A brief 1-2 minute charge nets you hours of use, it’s really not a big deal.
