Sure but my argument is about rugged phones, my exact circumstances have taken me to use this model, because the “better” manufacturers ignore this segment. But if a better alternative becomes available I’m in.

Going to rugged phones for me and kids. You get used to the heft but they handle accidental falls like champs. Also can have neat features like 3 day battery, headphone jack, SD card, and fm radio! Ulefone Armor series.

Picture this.

Person 1 went to uni and invented a great new programming language during his doctorate.

Person 2 is slightly on the spectrum, loves puzzles and enjoys creating businesses forms with person’s 1 programming language.

Guess who is making money.

This cartoon is flawed at the base. Education doesn’t lead to jobs, it leads to knowledge. A job is a practical application of part of that knowledge, but only if there is someone willing to pay for it.

Make churros. Mix same amount water and flour with a bit of salt. Press out with a churro maker, fry for 2 minutes, cool, sprinkle sugar and serve with hot chocolate

People living under the bridge have to come from somewhere

It takes ages to recover from a bike ride… I’m too old for this shit now.

Also, life experience allows me to flag marketing bullshit easier and that make me want less and less tech

Ebikes are motorbikes, not bycicles.

Not saying they aren’t fun or useful at times, but they shouldn’t be treated as a bicycles.

I don’t care if the motor engages using a button, twist grip, your feet or twitching your nose, it is a motor and exceeds your natural body power.

Usually it was a tradeoff with the voltage, but just checked and MLCC caps have quite high V limit! Long time I haven’t done any analog design but got a chuckle seeing that micro is still typed as lowercase “u” :)

I usually take these holiday weeks off to learn a new language or framework, and started to take a peek into Python, I had it on the back burner way too long. Got to the dynamic variable types and my heart sunk… I couldn’t continue.

Maybe I should take a third attempt at Rust.

Yeah I have the same impression. In one of his last videos, the one about Pompeii he advised against kids watching because a cartoonish dick showed on a wall. I’d agree, kids shouldn’t watch, not because the dick, but his sickening puritism.

I’m all for replaceable batt but it is usually at the expense of being more costly and/or less water proof.

Misha (ring youtuber/racer) recently drove a Xantia with the active suspension and said it was the best handling ever. And he has driven some exotics…

Haha sorry I’m not David! Been following his work for a while, great channel.

Most silly excuse was my boss refusing to install Linux because he just had a friend give him original windows 98se licenses for the PCs we just bought for the company.

Well it gets less silly thinking that getting the eprom programmer software and orcad 4 working on Linux was probably impossible.

Then it was outright the best decision ever, because those machines never required a reinstall and worked flawless for the 5 years I was there working. Never understood the bad rep W98Se had. Never used it on my personal rigs of course.

Pong, Tetris, Pac-Man, Minecraft, and petcii robots.

Did the interview room have a big black couch?

Remote work looks like that thanks to covid. Before that, nobody wanted to see your face, maybe share the screen and that’s it. It was a beautiful time. No tracking, no meetings, no stupid dailies, just pure self organized efficiency.

My kid (13) surprised me the other day and said he wanted to try Linux. He has seen me forever using it and got scared about W10 getting hacked or something so thought of trying it out.

I handed over to him my Fedora 43 (KDE plasma) install USB drive and once installed the problems began.

The monitor couldn’t be set to native resolution, and Steam didn’t want to run. Turns out that there is no wayland compatibility with the Radeon Polaris RX480. What a bummer, that card is perfectly fine for what he does on his PC.

We tried with the cinnamon version and that is working fine. He even has roblox running.

Tl;Dr: Wayland isn’t compatible with older hardware that most casual windows users are mostly going to be using.

Tell them to wait and save resources, earthlings are doing a great job destroying themselves.
