Save scumming.
There were clearly some questionable recycling methods for used toilet paper rolls back in the day, but don't worry, the sweet orange flavor covered up the after taste.
12 hours isn't really even that long, could probably bring just about anything, but I think Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri would be a great way to spend that time.
Or Dark Matter!
The full list of good shows they cancelled or cut off early is long and painful to read.
You aren't getting a "pretty good" gaming PC for $600-$700, be serious now. That doesn't invalidate most of your other points, but your exaggerations weaken your message.
The W11 installer sadly doesn't allow that anymore with the current versions. If you have that older installer, keep it safely archived.
I'm in this exact situation now and have been for many years, while previously in a gigantic company..
Pros:
You (hopefully) tend to have significantly more influence on the tech stack and software direction.
You're (hopefully) treated like a real person and not a cog in the corporate machine.
You (hopefully) get to learn and do a larger variety of things.
Cons:
Pay can be lower, and getting raises can be harder when you're talking directly to the CEO/Owner and it is quite literally coming out of his or her pocket.
Taking leave tends to be harder when there is so few people to pick up the slack.
Mine would be Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (with expansion). My favorite 4X game of all time.
Most of the programmers I know (including myself) use Linux or BSD, but that all depends on who you associate with. A lot of companies are purely Windows shops and others just throw their programmers mac books and call it a day. At my last company I was only briefly allowed to use Linux until they decided it was no good as I couldn't use whatever resource intensive corporate garbage security software of the year they bought.
Your experience mirrored mine, except that I also played the original. The game had some good ideas and mechanics, but it was frustrating and one of the few Super Mario games that I didn't even want to finish.
The headphone port is one of the reasons I'm considering an Xperia next. My Pixel 4a battery life is feeling pretty rough.
Maybe they just got a statement by "Most Men Lawn Service" or something.
I've used some CRMs with features like this, but at least in one of them it only existed because I had to create it when we had a contact jump from one important client company to another and it confused everyone.
I currently have three monitors + a laptop, but its actually two separate workstations with two monitors each. I used to have a few more, but I definitely didn't get that much benefit from 3+ per workstation. My main benefit was being able to keep chats, email, and music player readily available/visible while still having two full screens for work.
Quod Libet is my current favorite. It gives me a lot of the features and layout I used in Foobar2000 in Windows and isn't gigantic.
I played through the public test quite a bit with a friend. This is a really good (and difficult) update.
Agreed, most of the super hots aren't actually very good tasting at all and you'd be better off sticking with a cayenne, hot Thai, or maybe a Red Savina. I have grown and had tons of super hots over the years and the only ones I actually likes were the Chocolate 7-Pots and Trinidad Moruga Scorpions. Even then, I would usually not use them in cooking as they just overpower everything with heat.
It is exactly that. Some people really like them, others do not (me included). You usually need to go a little out of your way to get a font that supports ligatures for your editor.
Most of the newer CPU's have an NPU already, Microsoft just set a higher performance requirement for NPUs to be officially labeled an "AI PC" which they are pushing hard.
Irssi. It's extensible and stable, been using it for years.
That's very impressive for that price, though I am highly skeptical of those framerates since my PC has better specs and doesn't get that without some serious compromises in settings. How are you getting a Windows Pro license for $19? I use linux 99% of the time, but I'd love to have a pro license on the cheap.
It worked as of six months ago, but it is possible that was patched in this recent "fix".
Weirdly enough, my favorite (QuiteRSS) isn't on here.
A good cross platform user friendly client goes a long way, especially having a good desktop version.
Mine too, but the lack of headphone jack kills it for me. I may end up getting an expensive Sony as there aren't many choices left that aren't gigantic garbage phones.
I had it spoiled for me about 30 min before I went to the theater to see it by a coworker. I never forgave him.
I am pretty happy with QuiteRSS. Has a built in browser with adblocking, but easy right click options to open tan external browser. Easy to set up feeds and filters.
Came here to say this, glad I am not alone.
I am the opposite. When I was younger, I have significantly more free time and certainly better reflexes.eye-hand coordination. I doubt I could come close to beating any of the more challenging NES games that I did when I was a kid (not that Mario Sunshine was in that era).
Since you're serious, I'd be very curious to see the part list for this if you have the time. I am quite aware of current prices and GPU prices are currently still rather bonkers, even with sales.
None of my PinePhone owning friends say it's "quite there yet" to be a daily driver. I have been asking them every six months if it's time to take the plunge.
Probably a bit late, but I really like Quod Libet. It is very extensible, runs light, has excellent tagging and filtering, and just feels similar enough to how I set up my foobar2000.
Even though I wasn't a fan of their modified Gnome DE, I really like the distro as a whole. It made it seamless to use both AMD and Nvidia cards, Steam worked out of the box, and I had no issues with using Ubuntu or Debian repos. I'm not sure whether I'll use Cosmic or not, but I'll probably give it a fair try eventually.
I keep seeing these comments about Nvidia making shit fall apart for Linux, but I've been going strong for several years with Nvidia GPUs without problems. I also didn't have any issues with AMD either mind you, but I have swapped GPU's three times in this system: from Nvidia to AMD and back to Nvidia. I must have some great luck as I doubt these commenters are lying.
It runs fine for me on Linux, same as it does in Windows, always has since release. I am using an Nvidia card though, so maybe I lucked out.
I just got a laptop with 64GB of DDR5 ram for $870 or so from HP, so I wouldn't take these specific examples you found as gospel.
I have never had an issue either. We're all just tiny anecdotes in a sea of users. I mean, people that don't have issues won't generally post about it on forums, so of course people will generally only see others posting about similar issues unless they are some magical unique unicorn.
No to derail anything, but the cusp of X and Millenials (77-83) is commonly referred to as a micro-generation in itself (Xennials).
Preach. Daggerfall was the first PC game I got on release. It was the buggiest game I have ever played, and I loved it. Morrowind was such a shock in size and complexity reduction that it took me a while to like it. In retrospect, especially knowing how the following games went, it was great, cliffracers aside.
Malls were dying in the US well before Amazon and online shopping itself was meaningful. Big box stores did a number on them. Best Buy and Circuit City had nearly the same selection of music that mall music stores did for much lower prices. Stores like Barnes and Noble and Books-A-Million eviscerated the smaller more expensive mall book stores. Walmart, Target, and the like hit everything else.
Once that decline happened, I noticed that many malls started going after the kids that just hung around malls and weren't in constant spend mode. Teens were treated like pests that were not wanted. Guess who got the message and didn't come back a few years later when they had jobs and money?
Malls in the 80s and early 90s were pretty awesome, but malls told us to fuck off so we did. They can rot.
