Happens to me in the UK, I say no thanks to handing out personal information to a stranger on an inbound call and they're like "but it's for security I can't talk to you without it" and I'm like.... You called me!! Worries me how many folks just blindly give this info out as it's normalised.
I've just gone back to petrol from EV. I can say charging speeds was not one of the reasons at all. I just treated it like my phone and put it on charge at home and it was always ready. Think I fast charged in public about 5 times in 3 years. Home and work chargers are the way, for sure.
Anyone else feeling burned out by AI? I definitely feel it accelerates me but the cognitive overload of simply doing more things is starting to take a toll. Am I the weak link here? Haha
Bought a backbone for my phone in the airport and it's ace. Very happy impulse purchase. Looking forward to trying out gamestream on it when I get home.
First time in Helsinki airport, it's really nice, not sure about this hashtag though, "future of hel" 😂
I say no to everything AI on my phone (and everywhere else) and yet "AI Core" is still my biggest app arghhhhh
Where is the no, not ever button
GCP support is so funny at times.
me: Raises ticket, vertex response times are 10x the norm for the past few hours, this causes customer impact on real-time systems.
them (a week later): Suggest you implement retries.

As someone with a 4070ti, please listen to my advice. Ignore the 5070 marketing, 12gb vram truly sucks.
The way Google Cloud pushes dedicated commitments for individual services is to get remotely stable service, if you squint, is basically what we had on prem where we had to CapEx dedicated hardware for specific projects. Cloud is less appealing by the day.
Haha I was thinking about this today. Playing ff16, and remembered getting ff7 with a physical guide that showed me all the secrets. I actually enjoyed the game more because I felt like I missed nothing. Without it I feel like I'm making mistakes that would require replays, which I won't do.
The new @prometheus.io v3 UI is _such_ an improvement. Kudos.
My ff16 journey so far:
This is dull
Oh thats a cool skill, I'll play more
Bored again
Oh wow cool I can fight as ifrit, I'll play more
Bored
Oooo new eikons
Bored of unnecessarily long eikon fights
Start skipping cutscenes
Bored/quit
I've had 25 hours of of it though so can't complain. £2/hour.
Me: going to run slow today, nursing a bit of a hip injury
Garmin: looool you're slow, old and unfit, I've reduced your vo2 max and fitness age just to shame you. Pathetic.
As someone who has gone through Fitbit, apple watch, Samsung gear watches and now finally Garmin, you will not regret. Best way I can describe Garmin is a fitness watch first, everything else second, whereas all the others prioritise the other way around.
People playing POE2, is it worth playing if you're burned out from d4, or more of the same?
I much prefer gaming on a controller but anything fps, or mmo's (bar ff14) just feels better on kb&m. You could argue with mmo's the complexity is a game design issue (ff14 does it well) but when it comes to FPS/aiming I just can't use a controller!
Using steam link? How did it perform? Did you stream any non Linux native (proton) games?
$1000 in 2006 is about $1600 today, so it's basically a like for like swap if you get yourself a nice errrrr 65"...
Baulders gate 3 runs perfectly! Ff16 runs but about 20% slower, same for cyberpunk. To be honest I would probably game on it too but the fact I can't get game streaming to work smoothly was the deal breaker really. I'll have another stab, could well be a skill issue 🤣
As a desktop though. Very very happy with pop os. Now I've got it all set up, it's just a lovely desktop environment. I'll be keeping windows around for gaming only which is a shame, but everything else can comfortably move.
Linux gaming adventures continued. Quite a few games run without any issues using proton, and it's reasonably seamless. I look up the game on protondb.com first to check for settings. Others have about a 20% frame drop compared to windows. Game streaming (sunshine) is unplayable however.
Nice. I'm going to Thailand in like 4 weeks
Oooo I think I might have found a Linux distro that works well with Nvidia out the box and generally feels.... Good. Pop_os!
This is why I don't use public transport in Manchester. Believe me, I don't like sitting in traffic, and driving in general, and contributing to congestion and pollution, but when my option is a public transport system where 1 in 10 gets cancelled - it somewhat forces the hand.
Completely unrelated to your ask but I started using rollup for something recently and it's bloody awesome. Thanks.
Probably spent about 3 months migrating all our apps to ESM. What an ecosystem mess that was.
Today went to look at eslint 8 -> 9, dear god. Looks even worse.
I've worked in so many different languages in my career but Javascript, as much as I love it, feels the most - broken.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBK6... everything about this performance is perfect. It's, just so good.
Maybe it's motivation for me to move away from Nvidia next time round!
Me: reads loads about how Linux gaming has improved in recent years, gets excited at the prospect of binning windows.
Also me: loads up my Linux mint distro, updates the graphics card drivers and now it just black screens after login.
Nothings. Changed.
