It was never really a competition - just some misguided people who liked Emacs

Oh man, I’ve just picked it up, it’s really amazing, the compiler just holds your hand every step of the way, have you tried it yet? You really should.

Could you not have some printed versions of the shit they ask for on a good day and then photograph the photographs any day everything is going to shit?

Are you just not following the thread at all?

So absolutely nothing then.

Okay… what about that stops someone coming home smelling of smoke?

Who’s saying they don’t still?

Don’t worry, vibe coding is going to solve everything 😂

I’m beginning to think he’s a bit enamoured with class, Sir Keir seemed to come out of his meeting with Trump relatively unscathed too. Almost like he sees posh people as his social superiors?

Don’t say that, I’ve just bought an ancient HTC vive, give me time to at least play through HL Alyx and then dump it back on the market before you crash the prices.

Solid explorer on android is pretty useful too, it can access the SMB share. I use nextcloud for photo backup, but usually solid explorer for one off file transfers.

Definitely! Check out AliExpress, Moyu do some really reasonably priced cubes up to ~11x11 - 13x13, starts to get really pricey at 15x15 and above (although tbh there’s not much new after a 7x7/9x9). Megaminx is fun because you can pretty much use knowledge from cubes to get you to maybe the last 3 steps you just have to rethink how you apply the algos you know!

The other interesting thing with big cubes for me was realising I’d essentially forgotten how to solve a 3x3, because I couldn’t finger trick/abuse the cube in the same way it forced me to think about which algos I wanted to apply and I realised I was solving the 3x3 on pretty much muscle memory alone 😂

Love the idea of the challenge, my issue would be lack of a validator tool to confirm I’d completed the challenge - any suggestions?

Haha, when I first learned beginner we were switching cores on 2-3 different no brand Chinese cubes! I’ve not gone for a signature cube yet, but basic GAN/moyu/yuxin cubes today are just so much better it’s unbelievable! Yeah, it’s probably mostly prioritising cubing Vs other things and then when I do put the time aside I get tempted by bigger cubes/megaminx puzzles. Honestly 9x9 or teraminx can be a lot less intense!

The fact we’re the same age might spur me on a bit again. Drilling algos for muscle memory I’m fine with - I probably just need to dedicate a month to the cross, it was just so so much easier when I could sit for 4-5 hours straight with no real responsibility and drill cube lol.

I regret not just learning CFOP back when I was younger, I wanted to get below 1 minute with the beginner method first for some reason and the combination of my skills and current cube tech were never quite there. 15 odd years later I can do sub 50 with beginner method, but don’t have the motivation to learn CFOP (or I probably do, I don’t have the motivation to make my cross good enough). Moral of the story, learn CFOP when you feel yourself hitting a wall with the beginner method.

Is there anything you could recommend? I do find myself parroting at times and googling it afterwards, definitely think I’d benefit from a deeper understanding.

Nearing the end of French Duolingo section 2 and wondering if I should start trying to use some other resources.

You make a good point, I’ll watch reviews and that sometimes it’s nice to get an.average user opinion too! I’m probably at least 6 months away from buying anything unless I see a complete bargain. Not being sure I should get it should probably be an indicator I’m okay for now! Thanks.

I don’t think it’s obsolete by any means - it is driving an ultrawide monitor and the RAM upgrade might be nice longer term, this gen is slightly more reasonably priced for AMD, Nvidia driver upgrades are painful on linux, so I wanted to know if there’s a significant uplift/how well does it handle RT in comparison to justify a switch for me.
