But the entire industry is built around frequent updates and outmoding older models. I had a phone that was no older than 2 Y/O when my cell carrier did some kind of tower update that rendered it completely unusable.

I hate that we’re conditioned to treat these powerful computers like throwaway technology just because a marginally improved model is made available.

There’s a full 2 stair drop at the bottom on the right side, that’s downright malicious.

it felt also really nice to hold

Straight up the only controller that doesn’t give me hand/wrist fatigue. I was a little disappointed they didn’t try something similarly whacky with the ergonomics of the deck.

I mean, it’s no panacea, but still worth checking before jumping straight to a potentially pricey specialist. Unfortunately some doctors are still dipshits.

I’m sorry you got invalidated by a medical professional, it’s dishearteningly an all too common experience for neurodivergent folk. I hope it didn’t turn you off the idea of treatment too bad. There are good doctors out there, who care and will listen and won’t just talk down to you.

That garbage tablet gave me lasting resentment for ARM processors.

Folks, really seriously genuinely, talk to your regular ass doctor about a diagnosis if you’re looking to get assessed. Mine just gave me the assessment for no charge because I was already there for something else.

He even said if I wasn’t happy with the results he would write me a referral to whoever and just send it to my insurance like a specialist referral, so they’d at least HELP even if it’s out of network.

I’ll see people responding to fucken lemmy comments with “i ran the question through gpt and…” like what the fuck?

It’s literally the same thing as saying “I asked some RANDOM dude and this is what he said. Also I have no reason to believe he’s even the slightest bit educated.”

If you really wanna just throw some fucking spaghetti at the wall, YOU CAN DO THAT WITHOUT AI.

This is coming from someone who hates google, but if this person’s entire family had died, I would put a LOT of that blame on them before google.
