I am the opposite. When I was younger, I have significantly more free time and certainly better reflexes.eye-hand coordination. I doubt I could come close to beating any of the more challenging NES games that I did when I was a kid (not that Mario Sunshine was in that era).
Your experience mirrored mine, except that I also played the original. The game had some good ideas and mechanics, but it was frustrating and one of the few Super Mario games that I didn’t even want to finish.
Most of the newer CPU’s have an NPU already, Microsoft just set a higher performance requirement for NPUs to be officially labeled an “AI PC” which they are pushing hard.
For real, how is it that Brother makes the only printer that everything from my phone to my servers can use without problems. Bonus points for not gouging on toner.
The headphone port is one of the reasons I’m considering an Xperia next. My Pixel 4a battery life is feeling pretty rough.
Mine too, but the lack of headphone jack kills it for me. I may end up getting an expensive Sony as there aren’t many choices left that aren’t gigantic garbage phones.
I concur completely. I mean, I like Morrowind quite a bit, but coming from playing 1000 hours in Daggerfall and seeing this tiny simplified, constrained game world in the sequel was disheartening. The fact that everything since has been so much worse in that regard had made Morrowind age pretty well I suppose.
I’m in this exact situation now and have been for many years, while previously in a gigantic company…
Pros:
You (hopefully) tend to have significantly more influence on the tech stack and software direction.
You're (hopefully) treated like a real person and not a cog in the corporate machine.
You (hopefully) get to learn and do a larger variety of things.
Cons:
Pay can be lower, and getting raises can be harder when you're talking directly to the CEO/Owner and it is quite literally coming out of his or her pocket.
Taking leave tends to be harder when there is so few people to pick up the slack.
It could be Wayland issues with Nvidia, I use three higher res monitors, but only 60Hz in X11.
PopOS has been running games fine on my 3070 for many years at this point. It might be worth another try.
I’m not in that sort of area lol. I have thankfully seen less cows here than where I was moving from.
There are so many mitsumis and it shouldn’t surprise me that I don’t know them all (they seriously are all over the place). I am now in the midwest, so we probably won’t run into each other.
Sorry, didn’t see this reply until now. I don’t know all of them for sure (especially the few that look like really old Cherry like the MY and M9?), but own or have owned a quite a few of these. I parted with a bunch of my collection when I moved states last year, but still have several old boards that have SKCM Alps, vintage Cherry MX, and my clicky space invaders and some not pictured like my SMK Cherry MX mount and a few Model F and Model M.
The XM clones aren’t even Gateron quality IMO. I did end up with three fullsize XM boards when a site was selling them for $5 a piece. They were definitely worth that much.
I love image. I’m glad to see a good number of less common vintage switches made the cut.
As someone that owned all three, the NES without question. If you have budget or desire for a second pick, my recommendation would be to try and find a Sega Game Gear and pick up an adapter for playing Master System games.
I don’t know of any other full sized EC keyboards that support wireless, but depending on if they meet your needs, I know that Varmilo makes selfcontained EC switches that are hotswap compatible with Cherry MX switches. They aren’t going to feel just like a Topre dome used in a Realforce since they are quite different in construction, but they are electro-capactive. If you don’t need a full sized keyboard, you may have more options via Topre clones like some of the NiZ/Plum/Royal Kludge keyboards.
LG have started sending some bullshit major updates to both of my TVs recently. The whole “home” interface is now sluggish and full of video heavy garbage I don’t want to see. They are still better than some smart platforms (looking at you Vizio, Samsung, and Roku), but I am far less pleased with them than I used to be.
It is exactly that. Some people really like them, others do not (me included). You usually need to go a little out of your way to get a font that supports ligatures for your editor.
