Third time’s the charm, eh?

I’m really only sticking with YTM because of my grandfathered $7.99 deal from the early GPM days. If not for that I would’ve switched to something else when GPM was shut down. YTM is okay, but there’s still several features from GPM that haven’t migrated. It’s getting closer, but moving at Google’s pace (read: snail’s pace)

The latter. Regular @gmail.com users will be unaffected. Only those that signed up for G Suite with custom domains are affected.

Roku does have a streaming service, for free, similar to other free-with-ads streaming services like PlutoTV: https://therokuchannel.roku.com.

You can even watch stuff without an account (just tried it myself).

Was gonna check it out but it’s currently under maintenance. Probably under too much load from all the press it got this weekend

While not an official Portal game, there is a fan-made mod that feels like it’s official enough. Free on Steam (must own Portal 2 though):

Portal Reloaded

Evil Wordle
Word Guessr
Word Master

All popped up on HackerNews over the past week or so as others have shared their variations

Someone shared a video of the transition over on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/blackmagicfuckery/comments/rwdvr1/bmws_color_changing_car_shown_at_ces/

I’m a lefty, so that’s a nope from me.

This is actually a neat design, I like it. Though I’m not seeing a lot of use for the second screen other than when the laptop is closed. I’m never going to see it when the laptop is in use.

You need to use the Fn + Esc key to switch, per the Ars review:

Instead, by pressing Fn and Esc, you can make it display one of two sets of menus:

- Esc, F1-F12, and Delete
- Esc, volume mute, volume down, volume up, mic mute, play/pause, keyboard brightness, display brightness down, display brightness up, Windows Projector menu, Print Screen, Home, End, Insert, and Delete

Found my answer in the Ars review:

- Esc, volume mute, volume down, volume up, mic mute, play/pause, keyboard brightness, display brightness down, display brightness up, Windows Projector menu, Print Screen, Home, End, Insert, and Delete

This is my concern, I understand using those as the keys for things like volume/brightness controls, etc. But what about the F1-F12 keys? How can I use those?

If the storage medium was removeable from the mouse, then sure. Otherwise, why not just package a external SSD with the mouse? The mouse will probably wear out before the storage does

As a longtime user of YTM (and GPM), I can’t really ever rely on Google making the right choices when it comes to music streaming. So if hi-fi does ever come to YTM, it’ll be half-baked and you’ll be lucky if it actually rolls out to your account.
