Do I really want to hurt him? Do I really want to see him cry?

Maybe my stance has changed….

Jokes on you Sony, I don’t even have time to play your games anymore.

Graham before McConnell? t’s like walking into a deli and coming out with a free slice of cake. I didn’t expect it, but I’m not upset.

Steam deck

I did it edit: on my Steam Deck for a few months to play gamepass games direct on hardware. If it’s any consultation, I used windows 10 IOT and eventually switched back to SteamOS.

It works, but windows is so clunky for actual gaming right now.

It wasn’t terrible but it was NOT good. It was useable and I got through a couple of smaller gamepass games.

I wouldn’t recommend it unless a lot has changed for windows portable gaming since 2024.

Cook it on hot.

I’m tired boss……

Just when you think you find good companies to support they end up being run by shitbags.

Ok, where to next for my VPN needs?

I am both…. (Depending on the day)

Yes, but also, ROI on development and marketing and research costs etc. This is a niche product with no clear distribution channel. While cost to produce based on parts alone is low, what about procurement, planning, distribution, marketing, development etc? Everyone needs to make money to get the product off the ground.

Plus this is a completely unproven product (generally) static landscape. Price is basically dictated on how they can penetrate a market, gain market share, and still make profit after all the work that goes into making that a reality.

I work in product management, this was not a marketing ploy.

Supplies are expensive now. They are cutting into their margin considerably and probably did find some slightly cheaper components. Maybe they cut a better deal with the suppliers.

Either way, they are playing smart by listening to the market on an untested product in a new product category of “semi-smart” phones. This could signal a comeback of this type of product but only if they pave the way with affordability and usability.

I hope this does succeed for them because we need more companies taking risks in today’s market. Everything is so bland right now.

Yes, my one man black metal project exists and no one knows about it. 🥺

Same question. I just recently started an 8-6 job and I have NO time. I’m out the house by 6:45 AM every morning and end up getting home close to 7:30PM every day. I used to work a far more “unorthodox “ schedule for 1/2 the pay, but this “normal” work schedule ain’t worth it, even at almost double the pay. I won’t be doing this forever, just long enough to find something more flexible that pays at least similar.

Looks like I got weekend plans

I had an Nvidia shield, but I couldn’t stand the newer Home Screen filled with ads. I like the peaceful quiet of the Apple TV Home Screen. Also picture quality is pretty great. I don’t need to side load apps cause I was using Plex for a decade for all my media needs, plus my in-laws know how to use it when they watch my kids. Win all around.

I just want an Apple TV app for Jellyfin then I’ll switch.

Not really the sentiment. If he can steer disaffected white men away from the Republican Party, that’s a good enough start for someone. That doesn’t mean he’s perfect.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. We can’t wait for the perfect candidate. We have to use people who have enough cult of personality to ultimately get to something better.

I don’t want to see another 2024 election outcome. I did NOT want to vote for Kamala, but the unfortunate reality is that if we didn’t we’d be stuck with Trump. I get exactly why people wanted to “make her pay” but we have a rigged electoral system, you’re only making yourself pay when you do something like allow Trump to be voted in.
