On the topic of gamepads, that's my plan for Starfield - I'll play the game half KBM, half controller. I picked up this Xbox Contoller in prep for Starfied, as I've been using a PS5 controller. I figure the space section will be much better with controller, and I played No Man's Sky the same...

I'm really impressed by how bad things are there in Texas. I'm surprised people aren't on the streets demanding the Governor's head.

Quite probably, yes!

Potentially, but probably not, no. It'd certainly affect using the service and sending emails, but receiving shouldn't be as much of an issue but this is config-dependent.

Welcome, Mark! What end of tech are you working in?
