My steam deck is underpowered as a living room gaming PC.
Wish it was cheaper but would look forward to a “just works” experience including sleep/instant game resume.
Add my thousands of already owned Steam games and it makes me excited for a great couch gaming experience. It’s the reason I don’t get a PS5/Switch cause I don’t wanna rebuy all the games and they are not on sale as much.
I'm coding up a webapp with this exact login process - the issue I've found is on mobile phones - apps like gmail won't let you copy the link into a browser without a preview. The preview consumes the link. (next.js auth)
It's a bit annoying, since I don't want to login into the gmail in-app browser, I want to login on my regular browser.
After failing to add my new credit card to my business Instagram account - it's locked me out. The "request review" form doesn't work on their page. Fun times. I'm literally trying to give them money.
I've coming up on a crossroads where I'm considering leaving my high-paid low-pressure cushy remote job at some big tech company to chase some silly ideas I have. The timing feels right - but I can't help but be fearful of a jump without any sort of indication on whether I can actually pull that off.
Thanks for the transparency and sharing - you've got a new fan!
I was just thinking about trying to incorporate an LLC for a side project. I'm also a remote employee for a U.S. company working in another country. Seems like a bad time all around.
This gave me a good chuckle. Obviously titles mean different things at different places but my god my accomplishments as a "Senior Software Engineer" title pales in comparison to what Dustin has built here. Kudos to him and it inspires me to shoot for more.
Yes, I've been using this since I moved overseas. Works great, was able to add NextDNS for ad blocking.
I still find some websites will block you as your traffic will be originating from a datacenter (if going cloud option like me), but most work. I find this setup also works for some services that do not work via VPNs such as Mullvad.
If you want to talk to other devices check out the `BetweenClients_DROP` setting ("road warrior")
I’ve always been quite mediocre at reading and writing. This has been confirmed by my grades over the years.
Just this week, I’ve been writing a script for a YouTube video and it is difficult for me. Organizing my thoughts and making it “seamless” is a lot of work. In my software job I usually default to bullet points for technical writing — which I feel is a cop out. I had decided before reading this article that I want to invest some time in these neglected skills.
Does anyone have any recommendations for improving these skills?
I picked up some discounts on recurring software/app subscriptions I use:
Fitbod Elite - Workout tracking/planning - 40% off - 47.99 annually - I was paying 12.99$ a month!!!
Plex Pass Lifetime - 25% off - 90$ once - Regular $120
I have used YNAB for budgeting for years. I wish I could find a discount on that. Still keeping an eye out for any other similarly useful deals on stuff I already pay for.
Been using Hide My Email from Apple’s iCloud and I’ve been really loving it!
Semi permanent fake addresses ending in @icloud.com that forward to my gmail address. Apple is also one of the few companies I’d probably trust to the task.
Wish it was a standalone app rather than buried in the settings menu.
How difficult would it be to use interchangeable/hot-swappable batteries? Stations could just be constantly charging banks of batteries. Would make refueling much faster. Also could make repairs easier as you could take batteries out of service without need to take the truck off the road.
I’m unlikely to buy a foldable laptop, but a foldable monitor while traveling sounds kinda nice. I’m working from a hotel right now, so I can easily imagine it. Folding flat would offer protection from scratches in a bag/backpack and take less space. Would be hard pressed to fit a 17” portable monitor in my bag, but if it folds in half that’s more tenable!
Yes, curious if the Taskflow API introduced as part of Airflow 2.0 reduces this pain. It appears much easier/saner than working with XCOMs directly - less coupling and removes the need for lots of boilerplate code.
100%. Interoperability is the complexity. You’ll find old popular devices for example that are slightly different in behavior to the “norm”. It could be straight up incorrect behavior or maybe something more subtle. Do you drop support for those devices or change your behavior dynamically based on the device? Would your customers complain if you did drop it? Can you identify the device reliably? What if they update their software/behavior in the future - would your workaround break? Does your BT software stack even give you enough control to do fix it? Does your hardware/software vendor give you enough support to fix things if you can’t do it yourself? How many other devices did you test against?
