I audibly gasped when the trailer announced it will come out on the Switch 1. Got it on day one

Soma Assetto Corsa mod packs were only available to download through Discord, it was awful

Support only through a Discord server

There are companies that offer RaaS, basically radar rentals.

Source: my company had a customer who rented a weather radar for a year to do a study on weather patterns in South America

I’ve been using wgetip.com for over a decade now

growing up in a 3rd world country, it has always been, specially when considering the language barrier since games were not translated into my language back in the day

Early 40s here. I never understood my generation’s obsession with “growing up”, I remember as a teenager, a lot of my highschool classmates would pretend to be older than they actually were and dismissed some hobbies and activities as “for kids”.

When I was in university, there’s was this massive start of the year party for all students, as a first year student of course I attended and had the time of my life. Next year came by and asked some classmates to go with me and I got a response that I still remember to this day “you’re almost 20, aren’t you a bit old to be attending college parties?” like dude read the room, we’re college students, the party was organised for us.

Now that we’re here, all grown up and middle age, what do we do now? I know I’ll be having fun tonight

I’ve noticed that most people are pretty bad at explaining board game rules, and some outright refuse to fully read the rules, which leads to confusion, which leads to frustration.

Also, when playing a new game with kids, play a few rounds thinking out loud and explain why you are doing what you are doing. It really helps them understand the game better.

I did reply “yes, 1500 divided by 3 is 500 and divided by 2 is 250”. No acknowledgement of my commentary tho.

I literally had an argument with a coworker over the implementation of an ISO standard. I had a report issued by the government and a book on said standard, plus several up to date online resources from ISO itself.

His argument was “ChatGPT told me” with absolutely no sources. I had to escalate two… TWO levels of management in order to get someone with common sense to listen to me.

Without going into much detail, my workplace sells a product that’s makes use of an industrial computer that has two regular off-the-shelf hard drives in it. For some reason both hard drives are similar, but were sourced from different manufacturers. We got a notification from the provider that manufacturer B would cease production and proposed us to use two drives from manufacturer A instead.

I had the genius idea of giving my two cents and suggested we accept as it will work, they are just standard hard drives after all.

Now I became the hard drive expert at work, got dragged into endless meetings and being asked the dumbest of questions regarding this change. It’s been a year and the change hasn’t been approved by higher ups yet.

AsRock BC250. You can get them mostly on eBay, but theprice has gone up over the past months

Meaningful friction my beloved

I know the repos are solely managed by Ubuntu

That’s my main issue with it, it makes your system dependent on a platform solely owned and controlled by Cannonical

our company renamed out ML team into AI team, just to please investors, they been around for over a decade and never touched an LLM

I absolute despise when people dismiss some videogames as a boomer thing. Boomers did not play videogames (in general), as a matter of fact, most of them hated them.

Wasn’t there a guy at Google that claimed that they had a conscious AGI, and his proof was him asking the chatbot if it was conscious, and the answer was “yes”.
