You may one day get something like that! I think I read in a blog post somewhere that’s in their long-term plan. Not soon, as they just launched the 16 but I know they’re chewing on it!

I know this is a gaming thread, but I bought a gen 1 framework laptop 13 DIY when they came out and all I can say is: buy it. The form factor of a MacBook but upgradeable and repairable. They now have AMD options that work with my gen 1. Excellent idea, great execution, can’t say enough good things lol
In a similar vein, I went with a Framework laptop. Expensive, but 100% modular and repairable, with an in-house secondhand marketplace. I have a gen 1, batch 2, and the thing is stunningly manufactured for a startup. Can’t say enough good things. Happy hunting!
I have a new favorite description for human that I hear today: terrified electric meat. Perfectly sums up the human experience
I gotta be honest, as I’m reading all the responses by hexbearians(?) in this thread, it just sounds like y’all have a lot of fun lol
Well now I have to go look into this kvaesisto!
Edit: how do you find the interface? I looked at the photos and it looks very interesting, kind of has some Sesame type system wide search functionality?

I came back to this several days later and was not disappointed 😍
Companies now want 24 hour productivity, which means they will abuse their workers to keep that cycle going. Worker healthy is probably not even a thought, just: how do we get more out of them?
Shoutout for Niagara. High quality reliable launcher. Only switched away after 2+ years cuz I got a little bored of the interface
I can add that I’ve built a career on rubbing elbows with the right ppl. You don’t have to be the best, you just have to be likeable and decently competent. As bad as it sounds, people relations first, productivity second.
I’m not the type to slum it for a paycheck, but I’ve found that good perceptions are everything. Balance technical ability with relationship management and you’ll be golden.
Oh, and I still regularly struggle with imposter syndrome, despite the above…
This is at the point where just not displaying ads at every corner is becoming a viable business plan
This is the best advice I’ve adopted recently for exactly the same perception. Focus on your life, maybe do your best to have a positive impact on the things that worry you. Decrease your engagement with the news cycle - know what’s going on, but only as much as you can handle without it affecting your mental health.
Learn to trust that things will be ok, even if you’re not entirely convinced they will. It may not solve the problems, but your sanity matters too
I am utterly shellshocked by how much I’m enjoying Helldivers 2. It’s been a very long time since I’ve daydreamed about going home to play but I just can’t wait to blast some bugs with friends most days. It’s like I’m 10 again
I can’t quote it offhand, but I know I’ve read an article recently about corporations phoning home and I believe Toyota was on the list. I’ll see if I can dig it up.
That said, I agree about the Toyotas. Even if they DO phone home and we have to deal with that crap, they’re bulletproof and deserve their reputation.
Edit: guess I never ended up reading the whole article, but it was Mozilla. Hopefully this helps: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/privacy-nightmare-on-wheels-every-car-brand-reviewed-by-mozilla-including-ford-volkswagen-and-toyota-flunks-privacy-test/
This is absolutely the right approach. It creates a mental safety net so that your mind feels like it can let go, and as a result you do. After that it’s just a trickle of occasional new thoughts, as opposed to continuous storm. Wonderful approach, can’t recommend it enough
I’ve done some shopping and I too would recommend a Steelcase. I have one in the office and want to get one for home - I find everything at Staples and other home office stores just comes close, whereas this one is wildly adjustable (I’m tall and need all the help I can get).
That’s fair, maybe I misattributed what I disliked about what changed. But I like what you said about it going from being a stealthy assassin to being an open combat game - feels like it lost the heart of the franchise to me. Another element for me is that they went after being a bit more of a Skyrim-scale open world, which is not my preferred game type (I find them too long, which for me dilutes the punch of the story)
IMO the open world was a bad shift for the AC games, I haven’t enjoyed one since Unity. Hoping Mirage is solid, but they lost my trust so I won’t pay full price either
I’ve got a batch 1 and, barring some of the issues you’d expect from a new manufacturer, it is exceptional
My solution for this is just to not spend money in game
