A game isn't a fundamental or structural part of a system. In the end, it is just a game. The goal of a game is to deliver an experience. It doesn't need to be scalable or robust. If the experience isn't marred by bad coding or bugs, then it can still be a great game.

I agree 100% with this, since I've been trying the same. Although I do think some power-users take it way too far and should be using more robust data analysis tools (Python, DBs) instead of having these monstrous Excel spreadsheets with millions of rows and columns.

Keep in mind, that the Quest 3 has been discontinued in favour of the cheaper and inferior Quest 3S. It still has some good qualities, but the best one is no doubt the Quest 3.

Another thing is that to save on costs, they all ship with a very inadequate headband. For comfort, it is imperative to get another solution, either the (expensive) elite headstrap or a (cheaper) 3rd party one.

I just treat ChatGPT or LLMs as fetching a random reddit comment that would best solve my query. Which makes sense since reddit was probably the no. 1 source of conversation material for training all models.

That's the reason why even with its warts, I have been a very happy Android user. It's my device, and I can modify it to become whatever I want it to be (with some constrains that don't really affect me atm).

OneDrive Family plan is still the cheapest and largest cloud storage (6TB of cloud storage for $99/year).

Synergy and PBP (Picture-by-Picture) with an ultrawide monitor is great! I can split half my screen as Mac and the other as Windows, and the mouse and keyboard just seamlessly jump between the "gap" in the middle of the screen. I switched from a double screen setup (side by side) to an ultrawide and I've been happier than ever.

This is my reason for burnout, opposite of your example. There's a thin balance doing more work because you enjoy, and doing it because managers are pushing you to do it. And now that I JUST do my job and what I'm asked to do, I have lost a lot of the drive that I loved about being a developer and engineer, making life kind of dull. Weird thing is that it is the job description that put me into this place, with no room for growth, and the search for new jobs has been dry, year after year of searching.

I traded my sanity for a big chunk of my life's enjoyment. That ain't great either.

If you got an old PS4 Pro lying around, and haven't updated it in a year, it's more than likely hackable.

It's pretty simple, really.

With USB-A and B, you knew at a glance at least which speeds it supported.

I understand. If you don't care about this petition, you don't need to sign it. If you care, the amount of time and effort it takes to sign it is very small.

Someone needs to try, right? Once it fails, then we can be pessimistic.
