when do you use all of those measurements in the same context is the follow up question.

for example, why do europeans still use calories for food. the SI unit for energy is joule. things are decided because “thats what people are used to” . the calorie is not an SI unit.

what were you measuring in middle school of all things, that would warrant using imperial units…

if you cant look at anything not based 10, I hope you dont handle anything time or computer related

because some places don’t realize that imperial units are only used outside of science classes. in science, its all metric for the most part. its not one or the other, its both.

it’s like the concept of metric time(yes it did exist at some point). It was eventually dropped. regardless if you think its bad, blame the pirates that raided the ship carrying metric measurements to the US

a glass is roughly 8 ounce. 1 gallon of water is 128 fluid ounces.

so 37 glasses is about 2.3 gallons. (about 8.7L). for roundings sake, lets just say 2.5 gallons or 9L worth

definitely not true as my laptop(not my main gaming device) has both my windows and linux drives (seperate ssds) with different formats. Linux is on btrfs, and windows on ntfs. my steam on windows works perfectly fine on storing games on my btrfs portion. (i do it sometimes because linux is on my larger SSD). id imagine its how steam, or some elemement on steam on linux, handles NTFS

depends on implementation. one pro situation is if cross platform saves is enabled by such a service.

im pretty sure almost unilaterally, every country would like the solution to near infinite energy regardless. its extremely vital if as a species, ever want to start a colony outside of earth.

the only people against it would be those in the pocket of other forms of energy monetary wise.

the steam deck sits in a pretty decent position long term because the switch 2 has roughly similar performance levels as it. so developers would have double the reason to get a game working at said performance level.

Steam OS at home IMO will eventually take off. Valve is already about to release the valve(pun intended) to allow 3rd party companies to bundle steam OS on their devices. given that steam os offers almost 90% of the experience of a home console, with a larger library, higher upfront cost, but a lower long term cost(cheaper games, stores don’t expire, no online subscription), the steam os will eventually become the natural competitor to the playstation(imo) to fill in Microsofts absence. PC has already been the dominant non mobile platform in spending for awhile already

imo the metro take of windows 8 wasn’t the wrong approach for its intended market(tablets) it’s just forcing it on desktop/laptop users as well as a boneheaded decision.

They need to stop forcing windows changes for ALL users, including to the users that can’t use said features properly (as it was designed with touch screens in mind, and not everyone had touchscreens). Same idea with the more recent stuff involving Recall. not everyone has AI capable pcs, so its dumb to include the change to all users that will exist on the main branch of the OS, and would apply down the line to windows handhelds as well, who will likely not need recall as a feature as its using up resources. And im not like a person whose like fully Anti AI either, it just has its specific userbase that may need it, and there are others (like with a windows handheld case) that should not have it at all, as it is likely a detriment to battery if enabled by default.

its honest a boon for gamers as microsoft now actually has to spend more effort making windows betters for gamers then spending all of its effort on windows for arm and AI. one of the things windows as an OS lacks is that the handheld experience is actually trash, and the OS is a resource hog for a handheld device

it was (mostly) fine for PC. it was only absolutely abysmal if you were a console player.

For PC, although there were bugs, it wasn’t as buggy when comparing it to like a bethesda title. It just got a lot of vitrol because its of the very rare moments in time where the console version of a title was unplayable(as when something is usually unplayable, its usually the oppisite)
