I really would like to try those glasses. They sound cool. But at $500 they are too expensive for an impulse and there is no place around where one can try those offline

It looks really goofy, but I like the concept. That gives your carpal tunnel hands a pause. Or it might free your hand so that you can type with two hands and still use the mouse. It also might help people who lost a hand or arm.

I really do not want anything innovative in my phone TBH. Android works ok and the heavy lifting is done with apps. I really don’t want Google to move more crappy features into the OS and I really do not need stuff like those LIDAR sensors modern iPhones have. Just give me a smartphone with several years of security updates, enough speed to run my programs without issues, give me a good camera and I’m fine.

I’m sure that the Trump administration won’t report correct inflation data, but that will be a wild ride for Americans

It is something to fight against the constant distraction of modern tech. It’s hard to write a novel when social media is just a click away, your friends are chatting in your group, you’re getting news alerts from everywhere and you even might fall into a wikipedia hole while researching about mongol tribes. So there really is a use case for devices who are only able to do one thing.

(it’s kind of the same with phones: Get a dedicated camera and go on a walk and you won’t be distracted be someone whatsapping you)

I’ve given up because of time. I do not have that much time to game and when games started to hide better weapons and gear behind paywalls and progression systems that will take several hundreds of hours to complete, it sucks. So you’re fighting against those 14year olds who have spend an ungodly amount of time on the game and have better gear and that is not a good experience

TBH they haven’t done much to solve the problem with the switch lite. So I’m really sceptical here

Yeah. I run Wordpress on my personal blog, but after this I won’t use it for future projects. A community fork without all that stupid Jetpack shit would be great

Exactly this. We knew that everything would get shaky after he fired all those people and a data leak is the consequence

Yeah - if you have built a payment system and a subscription service, there will be a guy in a suit with a spreadsheet who has calculated that he can earn more money by moving features behind a paywall.

Word and Powerpoint are not the worst - just think about all the time lost due to whatever Microsoft is doing in Teams or by random decisions like moving the start button to the middle instead of leaving it where it was since 1995, which automatically renders every corporate training video obsolete.

You can get that feeling when learning something new as an adult, too. Your first python program is running? You renovated something in your home that your haven’t done before? Planted a tree and it’s having fruits for the first time? Changed the tires on your car? It’s awesome!

That only shows how useless Googles search results have become in recent years.

And it really doesn’t help that Meta is making the most affordable headsets. I would like to try a Quest 3, I have the budget, but I really, really don’t trust them

Yeah - those microtransactions are killing the experience. You never know if the level is just hard and challenging and that you need to practice more or if it is impossibly hard and only solvable with money. Or if you suck in a multiplayer game or if it is pay to win

But let’s be honest - it really is not complicated. That was a one minute configuration in my router.

I just setup jellyfin and it totally is the same. Install. Point it to a media folder. Setup port forwarding.

Research what you are allowed to do with that land. In my country you are not allowed to simply buy agricultural land and start building stuff on it and that is the case in most civilized countries.

It’s also quite steep: One lap has 560m of elevation
