Wow, that was a long, informative watch. Kinda wish they had a tldr;
My take:
Unfortunately, the product that they came up with is probably more expensive than my Costco pods. But at least I learned stuff.
I’ve seen my cousin on several “reality” shows. He’s a professional sound guy, but sometimes they put him on set as a customer or whatever when they need a body. They’re all staged.
Meh. Reddit had a very strong political bias.
Lemmy doesn’t have the same polish, it’s a little more difficult to create an account, and doesn’t have any marketing. Also success snowballs.
I respect the crap out of everyone that pitches in to make Lemmy as good as it is. But if I’m being real, I’m here to spite Reddit. Few people have that moral give-a-fuck. Spite is easy, following through to do something that is more challenging and pays nothing is not.
Aside from the config this looks cool
I bought a Retroid 3+ a while ago. It was an interesting experiment, but ultimately a pain in the ass to configure.
Ideally I just want to select a rom or game and play. I really don’t enjoy spending hours in settings and tweaking every detail to get a have to run decently. I don’t need AAA, but GameCube and PS2 would be cool.
Is that a thing? Or am I doomed to hangout in RetroArch settings?
I worked at a place that would give at most a 10% raise. That number was virtually impossible to get. We had so many developers that just wanted competitive pay or something close. So many quit, resulting in 1of 2 scenarios:
We rehired the developer a few months later at 2x the salary. This cuased months of delays and expenses to their projects.
We hired a replacement dev with less experience at 2x the salary. This costs months of time to ramp up.
Both scenarios pissed off our clients and resulted in lost sales.
Does it get noticable hot?
Yeah, it was an impulse buy that worked out for a few years. Now that I need to replace it, I’m sure there are better options. Carhartt makes good stuff. I’ll check them out.
I wear under layers if I know that I’ll be out for long, thermals and what not. Heated feels pretty nice though.
I’ve used both. US mobile is much cheaper. It’s also monthly or annual. $220 for a year of unlimited data with hotspot is the best deal I’ve found. If you don’t need more than a couple gigs of data, you can go as cheap as $10/mo.
I won’t swear by US mobile, but so far, no regrets from me.
I recently tried duo lingo. I have a pretty strong background in Spanish, but want to brush up. It became apparent very quickly that the app is not about learning so much as keeping you in it. The lessons don’t make a ton of sense, and after not using app for a week, it demoted me to just 8 words that you would learn in your first class (hombre, el, agua, tu, etc.). There is no way to skip ahead.
In addition to dual booting, you can create a persistent USB drive. It’s a little tedious, but kind of a cool way to give your setup a spin.
I think you need Rufus to format the drive, to set up the USB drive so it doesn’t refresh when you reboot. I’m sure there are speed implications, but I’ve actually found it snappy enough for basic stuff once it loads. It’s a cool way to try different distros. I have a handful lying around. I still preferred mint in the end.
ACLU. They fight back against shitty laws that repress freedom and equality.
I am now prepared to have my world shattered by someone with an actually…
No, it will work out for them. They just made a 50% profit increase. I doubt if even 10% of subscribers cancel.
It worked for Netflix, Disney+, Hulu… People just need to stop buying shit, but they won’t.
… And the file is back open somehow. Only now the program throws an error when Windows launches, yet still leeches resources.
Same. I had two. They both started tracking weird after a few months. I’ve never had that issue with another mouse. Aside from that, the physical build of the mouse was the coolest design.
Anno 1800 and other games like that. I don’t have the patience for the learning curve.
Why we can’t have nice things?.. Like Uncharted 5?
…because adding cameras to watch the public for ‘safety’ has never been horribly abused.
Before Amazon was as big as it is today, they approached me for a position. I had three different 1 hour interviews, then I found out they still expected me to fly to Seattle for 3 full days of interviews. I told them I was not interested. Before I knew much about corporate America, my gut told me that was a bad sign. Glad I listened.
During the pandemic, interviews seemed to have endless rounds of ridiculous questions. There needs to be a law that interviewers need to pay you at the position’s rate for anything beyond 2 hours. It would eliminate so much bullshit.
