Love ordering parts and then actually being able to fix things. Last year the electric kettle wouldn’t stay on, switch would just flip back to “off”. Had to order a new bimetal switch from Taiwan but it was a real easy install, just 3 screws. I feel good about myself every time I turn it on haha.
Welcome to the club brother.
I’ve had a Sony XZ2C for… 5+ years now? I’m not especially careful with it either. I mean I don’t throw it in with my keys etc. but otherwise it fell a few times and I’m sure I’ve put it down screen-first on occasion. Never used a protector, not a scratch on the screen. The outside however doesn’t look great despite being (or maybe due to being?) in a protective case.

Is there a lot of drama between mobile OS developers? I’m not really in those circles, I had no idea.
Of course if Google was the Google of 10+ years ago and actually provides you with relevant, good search results instead of ad infested dribble that would help.
I err on the side of splitting because of what Scratch just said. If I give my colleague 2k lines to review it’ll get slapped with a LGTM and passed. If I send them 100 lines they’ll actually look at it.
Not to brag but I just merged this. Felt so good.
I played the original CastleVania (Vampire Killer) back in the 8 bit days and silksong is among my top 5 favorite games of the decade I’d say. It’s not technically revolutionary maybe but the gameplay is tweaked to near perfection, and the art style and FromSoftware style storytelling is just wonderful. Of course that’s a matter of taste.
From my POV a huge one is that we can’t all own a several-ton personal vehicle. This is something people will not give up on in the near future, not even in my country which is eminently walkable, bikeable and with fairly good public transport.
It was never going to happen. To make actual change people have to be willing to sacrifice. And no one is, the richest of us least of all.
For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking “he’s an idiot and he’s just drawing attention to himself.” But now, to anyone that was still thinking “maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn’t really mean it”, this is it. If you’re not getting it now you never will. He’s literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.
Boomer vs Millennial, Black vs White, the list goes on.
If there’s any reason to hope for an afterlife it’s that Ea-Nasir might be aware, thousands of years later, that his shitty copper gave him eternal worldwide fame.
For me, much better than that is that I’m working 100% from home now. I do my laundry on my lunch break, feel super relaxed while working, listening to a podcast of my own music. Also huge: no commuting.
I have an agreement with my boss that as long as I’m more or less available during office hours it’s fine if I take an hour to take a walk or get groceries. I even go to do sports twice a week now during office hours. (hours I compensate by working a bit extra where needed or when I have some time left)
The job itself is not the best career choice. I’ve been offered to 50% higher salary at other places but that would mean full time office, maybe one day per week WFH for some. They can forget it. My life has never felt this peaceful.
Well hats off to the flight attendants I must say
Now I didn’t fly much before I was born, I’ll admit, but my first guess would be that this is a photo taken for an ad, not an actual flight in progress.
At this point I’ll take a shadowy international cabal controlling every aspect of our lives over whatever the hell is going on in our politics.
Don’t get a 50 series card. If you must upgrade I’d go for a second hand 40xx. But honestly with a 3080 you’re perfectly fine for now if you’re not married to ultra 4k 144hz.
I’m on a 3070 and it does fine for most games. That said I don’t play a lot of AAA titles but the ones I do play fine at medium or high settings mostly.
Also I used to dual boot, but since about a year I moved to 100% Linux and have only had the occasional issue. Mint with Nvidia send l seems to work pretty well these days.
