I seem do to about 1000 searches a month, though I'm not sure if that's also including my partners usage.

Less than 10 searches a day is crazy to me :O

But I have quite PC-centric hobbies, I suppose.

Just wanna point out that this sort of statement only really applies to the anglosphere. As in "medical students the world over can generally only speak english and their native language, so they can either apply for studies in their home country or an english speaking country, and some try to go to the US".

Not every country is in contention, as even if, for example, Hungary has the best medicine program, very few people are gonna learn Hungarian just to attend the university. The same argument applies for every country which requires a non-english language for admission.

Why would you need to turn off the ereader? Just put it in airplane mode.

It is one part of the plot that focuses on inner city schooling in season 4 :)

I imagine it's due to having had decent enough GPUs and decent enough CPUs, from a single vendor.

If you want the platform to be x86 but not AMD then your only other choice is Intel, but they've only recently started making high performance GPUs. So then you need another vendor for the GPU, and your only choice is Nvidia.

A lot simpler, cheaper and predictable to go with a single vendor for both I imagine?

Zed maybe?

Making even the background run electron, eh?

You wish Meshtatstic would mention CellSol on the Meshtatstic website? Why would they do that?

That's not what you wrote in the post though, and an actual human adult would never call that a "trick".

This is so ai-written it is hard to take serious. You figured out the trick to making tall skinny things stable? Weight or a wide base?

Did you ai generate the Chrome and Firefox logo? That isn't what they look like, or have ever looked like, from what I know.

24 != 24.14.0

That's how I understand it as well :)

Yeah, exactly. I just love working with and understanding computers. They open up so many possibilities.

Working with ai vs. coding yourself is the difference between ordering electrical components from digikey vs. designing them yourself. You can end up with functionally the same result and a lot faster, but they're hardly comparable activities!

And I'm just 28, but I've been fucking around with computers non-stop since I was 12 :) Only as a hobby, mind you. Never as a job.

I've been doing programming and sys admin as a hobby for a long time and only recently started my bachelors in compsci, and I'm sad to have waited so long as almost everything has been infested with ai to some degree.

Oh man, I am still annoyed about Signal removing SMS support. Had to add another app to my phone and I can now no longer accidentally discover that someone I'm texting has Signal, which happened more than once to me!

It's DDoS. No e.

On android you can, usually, go into the settings, go to the app section, go into the specific app you wanna downgrade and, if it's an app that comes preinstalled and can't be deleted outright, you get an option to "remove upgrades" or some such thing.

I just removed updates from whichever app it is that handles the launcher, all ads gone, still get to be on latest OS version :)

Ok, last comment from me as I truly believe you're just here to be annoying at this point, but I'm also passionate about this subject.

There has been barely any technological progress in the last decade, yes. Which is what makes the last 10 years not compareable to the 1996-2006 period. During that period, you had massive technological innovation which could inform and enable innovations in gaming at a greater rate than the current technological trends allow for. You can only do the 2D to 3D transition once. We can't really go into 4D.

But that's TECHNOLOGICAL progress. Gaming is also an art. Art doesn't "progress", it just changes. Harry Potter isn't more "progressed" than the Epic of Gilgamesh, it's just different.

I could write much more, but you clearly don't actually have an opinion, as you never respond to anything, you just try to "gotcha" me, and even when presented with good modern games you just decide they're invalid cause they don't fit your undefined definition of modern. Then when you do get "modern" games given, you dismiss them cause they weren't presented first.

This is so dumb man, truly.

Why are you trying to do weird gotchas instead of engaging with the discussion? I don't get it.

And comparing time periods like that isn't proper, 10 year old tech now is a lot more similar than 10 year old tech was in 2006. 1996 and 2006 are vastly different tech-landscapes. 2016 and 2026? Barely different.

Or do we wanna pretend the leap from Doom to Crysis is the same as the leap from the Witcher 3 to Clair Obscur? Modern is a relative term and we did not define it at the start of this conversation.

So for you to just join in afterwards and retroactively try to apply your own definition, which you are yet to share, on to my original comment just doesn't make much sense?

What are you trying to prove? Who are you trying to convince? And of what? Chill out man.

I just listed a few games off the top of my head, and in contrast to the person who I responded to having listed a bunch of 90s/early 2000s games. In comparison, mine are certainly modern.

If you want "modern", 5 years old maximum, then we have, for example:

Backpack Battles. Elden Ring(Nightreign). Tainted Grail. Monster Train 2. Escape from Duckov. Nine Sols. Hollow Knight Silksong. Black Myth Wukong. WH 40k Rogue Trader. WH 40k Space Marine 2. Spirit of the North 2. Patrick's Parabox. Stacklands. Balatro. Ender Lilies/Magnolia. Tunic. ANIMAL WELL. Dome Keeper. Inscryption. Reus 2. Astral Ascent.

I just had a scroll through my steam library and picked some games I really like/love that felt like they should be less than 5 years old. I've not double checked. This is what I meant by "etc. I could go on, and on, and...". I wasn't saying that cause I ran out of games to list.

Ah, no, I've not played it. It's been on my wishlist for quite a while tho :) Been on a bit of a JRPG streak lately.

I didn't know it took place in Indonesia though, that's very intriguing. It will probably be my next game of this ilk then, thank you!

And yeah, no stranger to To The Moon :P

None of the games I mentioned have micro transactions.

Outer Wilds, 1000xResist and What Remains of Edith Finch all moved me to tears. I still can't casually listen to the soundtracks of Outer Wilds or 1000x, as they simply evoke too many emotions.

Stop conflating Call of Duty and the like with "modern gaming".

You're jaded, and I feel sad for you.

I've been playing games since I could hold a controller basically, so 26-ish years, and I think modern gaming is phenomenal. I feel sad for you, but it is what it is. Just your loss in the end.

Outer Wilds, Baba is You, Blue Prince, Hades 1&2, Disco Elysium, Hollow Knight, Slay the Spire, Vampire Survivors, Clair Obscur, What Remains of Edith Finch, 1000xResist, Return of the Obra Dinn, Roboquest, Rocket League, Dark Souls, etc. I could go on, and on, and...

Not rehashes. Original, phenomenal games covering damm near every genre and if there is a genre you're missing, I can find a modern game to match.

Do you actually engage with modern games?

Like any self-respecting baker, I have a cabinet full of universes which produce various pies.

90% of websites have built-in keyboard shortcuts for switching theme? We must visit different wevsites.

I use an extension for that.

Windows 8 was when Microsoft tried to cater more towards Windows-on-tablet use cases. Which lead to everyone, including desktop users, having a fullscreen phone-style app menu take the place of the old start menu. This, for desktop use, is obviously quite disruptive and was hated by everyone.

They addressed most issues in the 8.1 update, like a year later I think.
