- Comment on When the Steam Deck was still just an idea, Valve says some staff were like, "I just want that for me" and "the point wasn't even to make a product out of it" 3 weeks ago:
I like the steam deck and use it as a controller, but you could make the same argument about the switch. Regarding the switch, my answer would be that while it is a controller, it is - IMHO - a poorly designed and uncomfortable-to-use controller.
While you and I like the ergonomics of the deck, others may not. One can hardly blame those people for wanting something they feel more usable.

As I understand it, DNS blocking does not work for any YouTube ads as the ads are hosted on the same servers as the videos.
Certainly, my pihole - which has successfully blocked many ads - does not do anything for YouTube.

- Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV 7 months ago:
In a better world, this patent could perhaps be used to prevent other companies from using this method.

I rarely know if I’m sad or happy, can they teach me?

I don’t solder, so I’m no expert, but I’ve only ever heard it pronounced “sodder” (though agreed, leaving out the “l” sound is an odd choice).
