IMHO, two hours is not nearly enough to get a feel for a game. At least, not for the sorts of games I tend to play. I spend longer than that just working through initial technical issues, configuration, and (in games that have one) the character generator.

I have to conclude that Steam's return window is either intended to be just enough to see if you can get it running, or as much as Valve could talk publishers into tolerating.

Note that Apple has been participating for more than 12 years.

IIRC, the creator's medical bills were the motivator for bringing it to Steam with graphics upgrades. I'm glad to see he's finding success here.

I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.

Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.

Unfortunately, it loses on data density.

I haven't tried it yet, but I expect it will be nice to be able to compare our own hardware performance to the benchmarks we see in reviews, and do apples-to-apples comparisons with the results reported by Windows users when performance tuning.

Which ants? What important work do they do?

Where I come from, Argentine ants are dominant, and considered pests. Apparently, there is also some evidence of them being problematic for pollinators.

I know I didn’t put adaptive in there, but that is what I meant when I said the triggers don’t work.

Yes, I understood, but I wanted to clarify for the sake of other readers who wouldn't. Most people who don't have a DualSense don't know about its adaptive triggers, since they're not a common feature on game controllers and not used by most games.

And how do you get the touchpad to work? I can get the buttons on it to work, but I haven’t gotten the mouse-like touch input to actually work, despite being able to map it.

On the desktop, I didn't have to do a thing. It was automatically recognized when I connected the device, and I could move the mouse pointer and click right away. (I ended up disabling it in Xfce, because it sometimes got in my way.)

In Steam, I usually remap areas of it to produce keyboard events (useful in Elite Dangerous), but I think it can also be mapped as a mouse. I haven't fiddled with Steam Input's many options in a while.

Not when done at a large scale.

Critics, however, see a more nefarious White House agenda – namely, gutting universities of what it sees as a liberal-left bias, while using antisemitism as a cudgel in an authoritarian power grab.

Seems to me that crying liberal bias is just a lie behind another a lie.

Education tends to counter authoritarianism/fascism.

Indeed, but I didn't comment on audio, and you didn't specify the other bits in your original comment. Triggers (without Sony's proprietary variable resistance), gyro, and touchpad all work fine over bluetooth.
