When I was a child, I once tore apart my room looking for my game boy colour, which was in my hand the whole time.

Yeah, I had undiagnosed ADHD.

Generally it will cook a lot of things better than consumer ovens because consumer ovens are fucking garbage.

But yeah, it’s just a small convection oven that heats faster and more evenly. I love mine. I mostly only use the oven for things that require a solid tray or don’t do well with the fan in close proximity (mostly certain frozen foods). And baking.

One of my favourite things about godot is that the godot editor is itself a godot project made with godot (using c++).

Absolutely nightmarish.

My mum’s an academic so she’s been using computers all her life, she’s not exactly “techy” but I am eternally grateful I was able to get her set up with bitwarden as a password manager.

Though not every fail state is going to show up. If you start seeing weird intermittent behaviour from a drive, for goodness sake find a way to back it up immediately.

My mum’s new nuc started having some issues, SMART showed perfect drive health. After trying a few things to diagnose, I rebooted to run memtest and check for bad ram, and that was the last time it ever booted into windows. Controller or something on the nvme ssd died. Far too expensive to try and repair for data recovery. Thankfully had a… Somewhat recent backup. Not as recent as we would have liked.

Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved stale rice crackers. Specifically, the stage of staleness where they’re no longer super crunchy and have started going slightly rubbery (if they go past that, it’s no longer good). Something about the texture/mouthfeel is great to me. I used to leave my rice crackers to age before eating them. I don’t do it as much anymore because I still like them well enough crunchy and I don’t have the patience for it.

Other than that, I do enjoy putting a salted cracker in a sweet sandwich (jam, nutella, lemon curd, etc) to add some nice crunch. Works just as well with savoury sandwiches, but I think that’s less weird.

They get paid for their work, obviously, but often a significant portion of their ongoing pay is based on soundtrack sales, whether physical or digital.

For one example, you can look into how Id screwed over Mick Gordon with the doom eternal OST, but it’s a long and frustrating read.

You don’t know shit about how remuneration for composers works, huh.

I would consider selling something like a soundtrack acceptable but no game content dlc, absolutely.

Holy hell, that’s cheap. I’ll have to look into grabbing one to play around with.

I’ve said it for years on Reddit and I will continue saying it here on lemmy. I miss Pebble.

I use a galaxy watch 4 now but while it can do some more thing it still doesn’t fully match the functionality of my pebble time. So many stupid software limitations that shouldn’t exist.

If the battery hadn’t degraded I’d still be using it.

I’ve looked at fossil multiple times and they’ve never matched the functionality I need. No current watches really do.

There are absolutely differences in signal quality in phones, but nobody ever mentions it because the equipment needed to properly test it is extremely costly and technical.

It’s one of the things the LTT Labs are trying to set up to do. RF shielded test generator and a spectrum analyzer and generator… The spectrum analyzer by itself costs upwards of $100k USD.

So hopefully, eventually, you’ll be able to see signal quality metrics from at least one place.

I got some nice keycaps when I was building my first mechanical keyboard. Aside from that… Soldering gear, 3D printer parts… Cat toys, preflashed smart bulbs (so I can use them completely locally with home assistant), magnets… And generally any time I see something on Amazon that clearly is just rebranded Chinese stuff, and I don’t need it quickly, I can find it on there for a fraction of the price.

Yeah, I use their OBS version since I had a few issues with OBS and the normal one. My cat likes to sleep on my computer and I needed another camera to point at her when streaming… And then I realised I didn’t need to buy one because I had old phones with good cameras in my desk drawer. Just got a cheap mount to hold my old xiaomi mi 9 SE. Looks fantastic, works well.

Not a lie, have a good relationship with my mum. Still holds true when she had some in Amsterdam again recently. 😅

Was far more than just sleepy. She’d zonk out immediately.

Never used it myself, but my mother has told me when she was much younger she tried pot a few times and stopped because it just put her to sleep, and this was well before the strong strains we have today.

I never have enough socks. I always need more socks. Fun ones, though.
