Chained Echoes, had an absolute blast. I love that health is reset after every fight. The slow lose of life on the way to a boss sucks.

Thank you for translating. I use their service and am happy I don’t need to make any changes.

I’m doing pretty similar. I now only go to Reddit as a logged out lurker for the path of exile subs. Too much info is dropped there that I just don’t see anywhere else.

Some people say they were born in the wrong decade. Today I learned I was born in the wrong century.

I’m wouldn’t even spending a 1/3 of my income on that 3k rent. A programmer can very much afford to live in NYC quite comfortably while still saving for the future.

Upstate commutes can definitely be rough. But it isn’t the only ‘affordable’ places. Getting towards the end of subway lines in Brooklyn and Queens can be relatively affordable.

I live in a 3 bedroom in Queens with a 3k rent and only 5 minute walk to the M. I don’t commute but my partner does and it isn’t too bad. There were other 3 bedrooms off the L we looked at this summer that would have been a much faster commute and some where down at like 2800.

I didn’t care nearly as much till I started working at a company that is 100% apple only.

That said, I try to keep my complaints focused on things I found aggravating.

If they ban the right creator, I wonder if a bunch of mods will start breaking similar to that guy who removed his packages from npm, breaking everything

I think consolidation creates many issues even if it isn’t a full monopoly right now. Like making it easier for that full monopoly to show up later.

Oh no, the lights were just off. I never change it anyways. I’m not one to care about making the keyboard do anything dynamic.

I ran into the same issue when I uninstall the bloatware from asus in windows.

Honestly, asus just is a huge pain here and I’ll definitely be avoiding them in the future.

It’s not regular typing. It’s primarily using the f-keys and numbers. Particularly for functions in my IDE.

Most of the time I’m using an external monitor and keyboard, so get very little practice on the built in one except when it’s in less than ideal situations like flying.

When I get my next laptop, I’ll be keeping Linux capabilities in mind. But that’s years away. I’m not even sure where to start with reverse engineering the hardware, and also don’t see myself spending months of my free time to make it work. I don’t have that much free time and there are too many other things I’d like to be using that time for.

Oh, I don’t need the keyboard to be pretty. Just lit up at all which seems to be effective locked by asus.

When I tried, I had put Ubuntu on it. That process seemed to go pretty good except the keyboard. Even got the WiFi working just fine. I may give fedora a try, but I’m way too lazy to switch back and forth between os’s depending on how dark the room I’m in is.

I’d love to switch, but my laptop makes that quite hard and the computer still has years in it before I probably need to think about replacing it.

I’ve got an asus rog and sometimes need the backlight on the keyboard. As far as I could tell, no one had figured out how to do it without the windows only asus made software.

Good to hear! I love that the path of exile community did similar.

I experience closer to 100mb/s generally. Though this is plenty for me. I’m really just glad my ping stays below 30ms.

I have the same experience. At my last company they only used Google meet so I had chrome on my computer just for meetings and nothing else.

Oh how I miss RiF…

What does MAP stand for? I’m a bit wary to use a web search to look it up

Linux on the WAM show recently talked about how much he loved his foldable phone. I’d love to try one out myself but I’m with you on price. $1800 for a phone is way too much. That’s a months rent for something I’d be terrified to drop or get stolen

Everyone here seems to think this’ll be another nail in their coffin. But I’m not sure. As far as I know, they’re the only steaming platform that’s actually profitable. Plus any current users of that plan are getting grandfathered in, so they’re just removing the option for new people which I think is pretty normal for services to do.

Only they know how many people are on the 720p plan. And I’d bet they’ve run the numbers to know that they’ll make more revenue from new users who sign up for the higher tier than the revenue lost from users no longer being able to select this plan.
