This pretty similar to why I stopped watching their vids. I always thought they were a trusted authority, until they covered a product that I had some familiarity with. I wasn't even an expert at it, I was just interested so I read some articles, visited some forums and subreddits about it for a week or two. Their video on it had a couple of mistakes and they omitted a couple of minor features, but were important to me. There was nothing egregious but it was pretty surprising to me that in this one thing, I knew more than them, despite not doing much research.

No, you see everyone not making something I like is taking stuff away from me personally and that's what matters above all

Could be wrong, but those face zooms could be from the video their cutting to, as in GN didn't add the zooms, they used vids that already had those zooms from LTT.

That's like 1 game now

Interesting, I had an almost opposite experience. I was good enough with memorization and applying formulas in high school to pass with As but I never really understood what I was doing.

Taking calc again in college and watching a video of Neil Degrass Tyson talk about Newton figuring out orbits are conical sections made everything click for me. Suddenly I remembered the 3D episode of the Simpsons and those coin spinny things at the mall and put it all together.

After that, I was much more interested in figuring out how the formulas worked and it made learning way easier.

Hopefully it's vandals, I can't imagine being some guy taking a normal shit when all of the sudden the toilet disintegrates.

Most of the James Bond movies, hard to pick one.

Laptop ram hasn't changed in 25 years, the slots are bulky and not efficient. New laptops need ram closer to the CPU, so they are soldering them on the board, fast and efficient but not upgradable. New slot, more efficient, upgradable, better for consumers so hopefully laptops use this new standard.

My head still does the dumb math on those numbers and immediately goes, "125k loan, 50k salary, she should have that paid off in 2.5 years!"

I have no idea why I still need to take a second to figure out that it doesn't work that way. How the hell did I ever pay off my student loans?

Went through the same thing. It's a little game now to try to use less energy than the solar panels are generating. Used to keep my gaming PC on all the time, and watch everything on a giant tv, but now I'm mostly using a tiny laptop. Really helps when you see how much electricity you're using and how of that you do t really need.

That is not what I thought Vaati looked like

Lol, I have my favorite file_put_contents line for debugging php, but being able to step through code would be great. What's your setup? Last time I tried I couldn't get xdebug working on win server + apache.

Isn't that Benjamin Franklin or did West Wing lie to me?

I usually go to tools, and the option for results in the past year.

Sounds like you're just copying a template to new files based on a csv? You don't have to edit anything inside the word files at all?

If that's the case, just load the csv file, I think the command is Read-Content, loop through each line, split by ',' parse whatever name data you need and copy your template.docx to your new file.docx

Love them, tried out the Z Flip 3, Oppo Find N, currently have the Pixel Fold.

I understand that it's not for everyone and I don't think it's a must buy for me, but I really like the form factor and I'm glad for the option.

I've thought about it some more, and I think I've identified what I really want out of a foldable.

I want the promise of the one device to replace a phone, tablet, and laptop. Currently, were no where near that. Hardware wise I think we're there, but software, we still have a long way to go to get all apps to support a tablet mode.

"Laptop" mode I haven't even bothered trying for most things. It does work pretty well for work, using RDP, Teams, Outlook.

Same here, I listened to their solo albums and while I didn't think any of it was bad at the time, I don't remember any of it. None of it stuck, which is so sad as every song on their albums were so good.

They never disappoint, so glad I got to see them for what most probably will be their last tour.

That's fair, pretty good reason, especially for enthusiasts, to not want to buy it.

For me, I stopped being able to notice any significant lag on my phones 2-3 generations ago. I guess I don't do anything that requires that much processing power on my phone anymore.
