Look at my horse, my horse is amazing

I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.

While I’m not saying it’s perfect, I still think it’s aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

Sure, but from some point up enterprise-class tech stops making sense for home use.

Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.

Probably depends on whether they see a difference between intentional and unintentional satire.

Also “200 100” is very different from “100”.

Got an extra legroom seat in the airplane by chance.

I have very little to do with the US and said tariffs, so I’m not affected directly.

In general though I try to be rational with big(ger) purchases - I research things for at least a week or two before buying (but more often it’s months) and try to maximise my use of what I buy.

Not much. There was USB 3.0 even before the USB-C, so bandwidth-wise it’s hasn’t been a game changer. Over the years I’ve used a bunch of phones and other devices with Micro USB Type B and I’ve had one or two cables fail, but not at the connector. In fact the mouse I’m still using has Micro USB for charging and it’s been fine.

Edit: I’m not saying it’s not good; it is, but I consider it an incremental improvement, not a game changer. A game changer for me would be a standardised interface with a magnetic connector for example.

Unfortunately “punish them by not buying it” won’t work for someone as big as them.

Wow, what a blursed name.

CEOs gonna CEO.

I’m a programmer, but I feel like I’ve heard this outside of this field.

Not give US healthcare again.

There, I fixed it.

Sad reality is that most things want to get you hooked and engaged in some way or another. Heck, even websites show you native device notifications now if you allow them, but I guess it’s easier for an app to get you to agree to that, even if the app is just a website wrapper…

Platform-wise, it’s already proven that it’s a viable alternative (with some advantages even - the federated nature for one), but content-wise, it has A LOT to catch up (because let’s be honest - in addition to all the bullshit and toxic people, Reddit has tons of useful information and good people still).

I simply don’t put these in a drawer.

Okay, that’s new.

“No, thanks, I’m vegetarian” is a useful thing you can say when someone hands you their baby.
