You should return the PS5 and just do PC gaming. Maybe get a steam deck or another portable.

Stores can show out the door pricing of most products, they just won’t. It’s fairly common in the cannabis space because they don’t want to make change.

Used to bike 12 miles most days for my commute several years ago. All hills. On the real steep ones I’d be going 2-3 mph up them and 35mph down them. Pedal assist would have been real nice back then. I would drive in on meeting heavy days just so I wouldn’t be sweaty in front of clients in the morning.

Hills exist, sometimes you need to go 20 miles, we have record setting temperatures every day, public transit sucks most places, and a lot of areas don’t have bike lanes so you keep up with traffic or get ran over. E-bikes are good for everybody.

When COVID hit and the company I was with at the time went 100% remote, upper management discovered our productivity went up. That same company started forcing people back into the office as soon as they could. Watching a team of executives intentionally harm their company and try to justify it was wild. It wasn’t about being profitable, it was about control for controls sake.

Yeah I don’t think I’ve had a single crash with the mesa drivers after my overclock was dialed in. And I’ve ran some pretty janky stuff (like my vega 56 that was flashed with a 64 bios).

I wish Microsoft would just release an official compatibility layer. Let us run Windows software in an officially supported sandbox with directx and all. Hell I’d even pay for a license.

The only question I have is: how well will it work on linux?

It was a joke but no, I don’t trust a news organization owned by Jeff Bezos.

If you take the quiz it all you don’t get a 100%. That’s the real test.

A data recovery service like drive savers may be able to do it for you. If you really care about the data, turn the phone off and don’t try to recover it yourself. This is a high skill thing to do

This incident has made me reevaluate some things. I could see this being a one off thing. Like an inventory error or a communication error. But the rebuttal was wild. Cancelled my floatplane subscription for now. Maybe they’ll turn it around down the road, but this one was a big mess up.

That site is working fine for me. Maybe it’s a difference in privacy settings? I’m just using standard mode’s default.

I haven’t experienced this yet and I’ve been on 116 for 1-2 weeks now. Can you post some sites that you’ve had the issue with so I can see if I have the same problem? The only extensions I run are uBlock-origin, dark reader, and react dev tools.

That machine was built during the capacitor plague. It could have all sorts of weirdness going on. Have you ran any hardware diagnostics yet? Did you notice any distended caps when installing the hdd?

The big problem that I see are people using it for way too much. Like “hey write this whole application/business for me”. I’ve been using it for targeted code snippets, mainly grunt work stuff like “create me some terraform” or “a bash script using the AWS cli to do X” and it’s great. But ChatGPT’s skill level seems to be lacking for really complex things or things that need creative solutions, so that’s still all on me. Which is kinda where I want to be anyway.

Also, I had to interview some DBA’s recently and I used it to start my interview questions doc. Went to a family BBQ in another state and asked it for packing ideas (almost forgot bug spray cause there aren’t a lot of bugs here). It’s great for removing a lot of cognitive load when working with mundane stuff.

There are other downsides, like it’s proprietary and we don’t know how the data is being used. But AI like this is a fantastic tool that can make you way more effective at things. It’s definitely better at reading AWS documentation than I am.

Sqlite can be super useful for client side caching, searching and filtering. But this would require having you’re postgres database exposed to your end users. That would be a huge security mistake unless your users are all internal and trustworthy. Definitely retrieve data over an API instead.

Haven’t seen any socketable ARM processors outside the server space. You can find plenty of single board computers with ARM chips on them (look up Rock pi) that you can put in a case. And some ITX developer boards (kinda pricey). Or you can get a server motherboard, they come in ITX form factor (not cheap).

Oh I forgot about the xenon chips. Those are still much easier to emulate I think, at least compare to the cell and emotion chips Sony used early on.

Sony changed their CPU architecture every time until PS4/5. The only reason some PS3s could play PS2 games is because they had also had PS2 hardware in them. Xbox has been x86 the whole time.
