Nice! Also have a 1:28 that my wife got for me. Thing is super fast, like 25km/h. What model did you get?

I am super impatiently awaiting a new set of wheels for my RC car to be delivered. I purchased them a while ago and it is taking ages! I want to finally finish my build and let it rip on the street!

Have you played the game though? It’s filled to the brim with content. I already have a lot of hours in and I think I’m only about half through the game. You talk to friends and everyone is telling a different story of how they approached a problem in the game. Almost every conversation in the game has voice lines.

It’s absolutely not flawless. Controls are clunky, path findinf of your compagnions is weird most of the time etc. But you absolutely see that this game is a labour of love and not a quick cash grab. Plus again, it’s massive and it’s one of the few games where I actually understand them not being able to fix every bug in the game.

So I wouldn’t say that we lower the bar with them in relation to bugs. They have raised the bar in content and overall quality so high that you are more willing to forgive / overlook a lot of the issues, as long as they are not game breaking.

Here, have an upvote.

While the comic combined with the text has a bit of an edgy vibe, I agree with the overall message. Advertising was just decided upon to be an acceptable way to force people to look at whatever. And no, it’s not always an option to “just don’t look at it if you don’t like it”. I fucking hate those advertising TVs that get set up all over my city, they grab your attention even more than regular billboards.

Yes, but the guys who made the profit will be hailed as successful business people while the people advising for a responsible approach will be condemned as fucking blockers of innovation and success of the business. The idiots at the top who spew out their shit are glamourized while the people cleaning up at the bottom are the joke of society.

What hardcore Linux users don’t seem to really get is this: The vast majority of people who need to use computers simply do not care about anything you just said. They absolutely don’t. They simply want to press a button to boot the device, use the apps they need and maybe even play a game and that’s it. That is what Windows does for them.

The average user is overwhelmed when the desktop icons have been moved.

I love Linux and it is on a great way to being used by a wider audience and it’s great it provides the freedom it does. But it still has its quirks that makes it too hard to use for 95% of users.

I fucking hate these piece of shit cars. I will never not think that they all have to compensate for something.

Never thought it’s gonna be so much fun! Now I wanna get into rock crawling and asked my friend to print me a new chassis for the TRX-4M, so fucking hyped!

What’s your current project?

Wow, most of these points just sound like a responsible way to handle all the bullshit requests from employees. I’m not saying make it unnessecarily painful for employees to request changes. However, I currently work at a company that did the “just do it” approach for years, got big with it and now our department needs to clean up the bullshit of many years to get the company up to code with whatever regulations we are under and people still think we can continue working just like that.

Sounds stupid compared to other stuff here, but a Traxxas TRX-4M 1/18 RC Scale Crawler. I bought it on a whim and then got into modifying it. I’ve been putting in a bit of money, but it’s super fun to play with it and it gets me out of the house to explore the neighbourhood for some good places to crawl it.

I deal with stuff like this on a daily basis as I’m in a hybrid function in support / sys admin. We get this not from managers, but from our users. “Hei this is how we would like to work, can you please change the system?”

While I absolutely understand the reason for this, it’s hard to do for 600 users. And our new boss also supports this approach because we need to be a good service provider for our internal customers. But always having to research if the requests even are implementable and what the implications of the implementation are is so fucking time consuming. I still have other shit to do.

What I want to say is, I feel like I shouldn’t always have to be the one to directly receive (change) requests but they should already have been checked and approved.

I shouldn’t have to do 1. & 2. or even 3. from your list. I should receive a clear work order and then look into the implementation.

But I guess that’s wishful thinking.

It’s not about AI specifically. It’s about the awareness that, as soon as you post it to social media, your personal information is not under your control anymore. There was and is still a good reason why you should not post personal info on the internet, even on seemingly “safe” spaces like social media pages.

But people in general don’t care anyway and they won’t care about this headline too.

Ok, it’s the routine that stuck the longest with me. When working from home, I will pause work to do something like 25 push-ups, some squats, sit-ups, or some weights every hour. Just switch them up between. That way I can do up to 100 push-ups in a day and other exercises. It has worked out pretty well so far.
