In Valheim it was quite real and comfy at the same time. Weird I know.

We have all heard this song before and know how it ends.

In the early days of the euro I got paid fully in cash and every now and then I got one of those in the envelope. I don’t recall having trouble to pay with it… but those days are gone and haven’t seen a 500 note in ages.

The ones I really like are the six missing

Technicalities aside, TS is being pushed by MSFT in their SaaS custom components, and that right there will keep it relevant a while. MSFT is known for changing names a lot, but not for killing technologies.

After over 5 years of writing TS, I have had to do plain JS sometimes, and it is scary. It feels like walking blindfold. I’m spoiled.

Nothing wrong with it if you just ignore the spam and karmawhore social feed. I use it for visibility, so employers can find me if they wish. My current job was from a LinkedIn search from my employer. I get around 2 or 3 legit offers a month.

Doritos. My dad brought home some bags from USA and instantly got hooked on that shit. Fast forward a decade and now with money and selling locally, I ate them until I got sick.

Doesn’t happen as much, but family and non tech friends would present me to other people that “worked with computers” thinking I could take new job opportunities. They were always wildly unrelated to my field.

I know I know,… they acted in good faith, and probably could have adapted a bit, but like 30 years ago there was a lot of overlap and systems where somewhat similar, but now somebody trained in Linux kernel maintenance isn’t going to learn how to create SharePoint SPFx webparts. Development is very specific now!

Yup, 700/700Mb. Also wimax but that only gets up to 25Mb

155.000€ for new 5 bedroom 200+ m2 duplex in my small town in Spain.

No HOAs! supermarkets and schools are in walking distance ;)

Cheapest is around 30K, but why bother?

Quite bad. This was over 10 years ago so the details are muddy… It was on BQ hardware and the first weeks it couldn’t even work outside on GSM or 3G (or whatever was at the time). It was clearly developed and tested solely on Wifi. Using cellular connection make it fall apart and constantly hang.

Then it never was able to get WhatsApp working. Everyone uses WhatsApp, and had to get by using old SMS or whoever I got to trick to install the then unknown Telegram.

Eventually got tired and got back to an Android phone. An Alcatel if I recall correctly.

After some time, BQ offered a way to revert the hardware back to its Android version, did that and had a backup for many years.

It was a very messy and buggy launch, but being on the bleeding edge, it’s expected. If they had offered a WhatsApp app I would have hung on way longer, it was the only deal breaker.

I used an Ubuntu Phone as my daily for about 6 months.

Some easy examples you can relate to:

• do you work overtime, even for a minute, and don’t get paid for it? Wage theft!
• does your company make fun of people using their allowed days off, making you not use them? Wage theft!
• does your company make you buy tools required for your job, because the ones available are shit or non existant? Wage theft!
• does your boss call you during your days off, holidays or vacations? Wage theft!
• are you assigned tasks that are more suited to a higher compensation level, but don’t see a dime? Wage theft!
• are your coffee and lunch breaks interrupted early or entirely canceled and not compensated? Again, wage theft!

Well, my older one was on raspberry os for a while, because she just needed a web for school stuff, but I couldn’t get movie streaming working, and she was starting with video projects the SD wasn’t enough so I ended up getting her a laptop without pre-installed os and set it up with Fedora, and to date no serious problems.

The younger one has my old Ryzen 1700 PC, and tried Fedora first and couldn’t get his games (Roblox or Fortnite) to work, but did get Steam to work… So without much investigation I just tried another distro based off Debian, and gave a try to popos. Same thing. Reading about it, it’s deliberate these developers don’t want their games working on Linux.

So I’ve temporarily swapped his ssd with a windows 10 setup until I can get him to give up these games. I guess age will do it :(

I finally got myself a pihole up and running. Yeah and the regular stuff… ditched reddit, got protonmail and trying to move my kids to using popos.

On the other hand, if you are buying cheap it’s usually because you aren’t familiar with the product and it’s characteristics. So you can take it as the price for learning about said product and what you really want from it.

For example, I got a cheap electric scooter for my wife on her birthday. We are new to these things, and didn’t even know if we would use it at all. Fast forward a year and we have used the crap out of it, even the kids can’t stop taking it out for a spin, and we now know what to look for and what sort of power and features we want when it comes time to replace it.

In this situation the magnets act much like a spring, so imagine changing the magnets on the stick and the car for a simple spring. That is much more easier to visualize.

20€ mark is a common one for me also. Another benefit from waiting is that you can avoid newest hardware purchase

Ulefone Armor 21 has a RGB notification led on the front and a light ring on the back.

It also has audio jack and get this… FM radio!

It also weighs as much as my bed, but I wouldn’t want anything else!
