I quickly gave up on the first. I really enjoyed the second one though, and also that some of the choices you make carry over in the 3rd one.
If I had one complaint about Witcher 3, it would be the stupid crafting system, even 200 hours in I am missing bits and pieces... I could not stand Gwent at the time and actively avoided it, but some people love it.
Oof, I can smell this picture. 🤢 Good thing you caught it before it burned.
Feisar represent…
I immediately thought of Wipeout too, loved the art design so much. I need to look at that artist’s work… (and apparently Marathon too)
I didn’t realize EyeSight had different versions, on the Solterra it looks like it is indeed LIDAR.
My Crosstrek has the older dual camera setup for depth perception, it would not be fooled by a picture of a road on a wall… I’m surprised the Teslas are.
For me what generally happens if I stop at 9PM, I will work through the problem in my sleep (and it will prevent me from getting a good night sleep), but I will often find a breakthrough the next morning during shower time.
I’m talking about those hard, multi-days debugging problems that nobody can figure out, but as someone else raised, that’s why I get paid good money for it.
It still sucks though. That first response in the thread rings so true, ok now I get it, no you don’t…
Talk about addressing the symptom and not the problem… 😬
I won’t buy my wife a Cricut for the same reason, it is a closed system that the company can decide to nickel and dime at will.
Surprised that they switched to Evil mode so soon, now everyone talks about this, and just a few days ago nobody cared and those who did were the loonies talking crazy.
Presumably now that the security keys are known, it is possible to jailbreak your printer and never deal with Bambu ever again.
I think everyone with a 3D printer starts like this (it is a self-replicating hobby after all!), but eventually I grew out of it. Making your own better printer out of the one you already have is awesome, I’m glad I did it! You learn so many new ways of failing, sometimes it’s a miracle these things work at all.
For me though I managed to stop after 3 printers (gotta have a backup while working on the downed printer!). I mostly use my printers for functional stuff though, complimenting my other hobbies when I need something super specific. It’s great to have the skill to troubleshoot when things go wrong, but also great to just hit Print and know it will work! I am thankful for the CAD skills I picked up with this hobby.
For the first year or two I was just constantly upgrading this or that on my lousy printer, then getting new problems due to those upgrades… I’m glad I don’t do that anymore 🤣
Thankfully my « printing trinkets » phase did not last too long. So many benchies…
it’s not an optimization if you don’t measure an improvement.
This, so much. I often see this at work, theories about this and that being slow, or how something new « should » be better. As the resident code elder I often get to reply « why don’t you measure and find out »…
For some reason it seems nobody uses sampling profilers anymore, those tell you exactly where the time is spent, you don’t have to guess from a trace. Optimizing code is kind of a lost art.
Sometimes I wish compilers were better at data cache optimization, I work with C++ all the time but all of it needs to be done by hand (for example SoA vs AoS…). On the upside, I kind of have a good job security, at least until I retire.
It is exactly my case, as HomeKit by itself is way too limited for automations.
All of my HomeKit devices are actually exposed through HomeBridge, so I can still use HomeKit stuff if needed, and devices that do not support HomeKit can still be added to HomeKit.
My current challenge is on the Smart Dashboard side, I don’t really want to buy a Google Pixel Tablet for this, and the Nest Hubs I have don’t really integrate with HomeAssistant except through Google cloud services.
HomeKit dashboard is fine but too basic.
I am not convinced bots would fill the list with hypothetical purchases, I don’t think scalpers are interested in waiting or having money tied up in backorders.
The point is to eliminate the scalper advantage by ensuring one can buy the product « at some point ». If you need it by Christmas or whatever then you are kind of screwed.
I remember for the SteamDeck OLED, stock was enabled in waves over at least a month, so even though the first batch was sold out in minutes, there was no rush to refresh the store page to try and finish the transaction before it ran out. This is in direct contrast to (say) the PS5 which sold out in minutes then still wasn’t available anywhere over a year after it launched.
I don’t really understand how Valve solved the problem, it should have followed the same pattern of being sold out in minutes then scalpers would be the only option for months, but interestingly that’s not what happened.
This is the right answer. I never answer those, you add new entries in your password manager in the notes for the main site.
If you answer truthfully to any one of those “security questions”, your account is at risk.
