Thanks. It’s just weird. I have tons of old friends on Steam that have been offline for years… I have no idea what happened to them or what’s going on in their lives… But this one guy I know for sure and it just hits hard. Part of me wishes I didn’t know.

Not to be morbid, but I found out a friend/former co-worker of mine passed away via Steam. He had been offline for a super long time and one day I saw his account pop up as in game. I decided to say hi, only to find out it was his son. The son told me that my friend has passed about a year prior and he had taken over his father’s account.

It was such a shock I had to sit and contemplate it for a while. I still don’t quite believe it to this day.

So back in the day you could hold home to pull up Google assistant and tell it to translate whatever was on your screen. No matter what app, browser, etc it just worked. I have no idea why they ever got rid of it. Now with the modern version of tap to translate text has to be highlight-able in order to be translated, which is a bone headed decision. It’s like they never use the stuff they make.

And I decided to force my laptop to migrate to PopOS and I haven’t looked back.

They do but it’s very limited in their “interests.” They used to have a much more broad selection of hobbies.

I got so much stuff from Massdrop!
Belts, speakers, knives, my first ultrawide monitor, backpacks, outdoor gear.
I found brands and stuff I really like from there and it was just a great resource.

I think you’re right, I didn’t notice it initially. Maybe I can find or make a better video.

I can’t speak to the design. I’ve just worked with this type of knife for years and I thought it was a fairly standard design.

I’m not advocating for one design over another, I’m just trying to spread awareness.

This is true, everyone has an option, however education is helpful. The more people that understand how things work, the less likely they are to hurt themselves if they encounter it.
