“The Biden administration’s irredeemable. There’s just nothing they can do at this point. There’s no executive order he can issue. There’s nothing else that can restore his credibility on the border,” Cramer said. “This is all on him. In fact, anything he does to correct it is an admission of his own failures.”
Typical Republican. No matter what the person does we still hate them, and if they do change their mind, they’re weak. 
That’s not true at all, just don’t buy through Apple/Google, buy off their website. Apps charge extra for IAP (vs online) all the time, I have no clue what you are talking about.
Wordpress. Or some other hosted blog/cms.
Yes you can go crazy with SSGs or write your own site but especially if it’s rare that you will blog/update then it’s way better to just use something off the shelf. That’s what I’d do as a software developer. Heck I paid for a static site with a simple web UI to update it just last week to serve as the marketing site for my software product (that I wrote from scratch).
Unless you enjoy tinkering and know programming I would shy away from the SSGs. I used them for years and now I self-host Ghost and even that I’m considering just paying someone else to do since it’s not how I want to spend my time (maintaining it).
“Camera”, “Web Browsing”…. In name only.
I had the phone pictured in the post. I even activated the browser. It was 100% trash. WAP sites and browsers were nothing like even the first iPhone. That’s what made the iPhone such a shock, no one had browsed the web like that on a phone before and it was, no exaggeration, a game changer.
As for the camera the first iPhone camera was garbage comparatively but still was better than most if not all flip phones. I have picture back from when I had that phone pictured in the post and they are a grainy mess.
Dealing with this now at work. Got a dev whose time in the industry should make him a senior dev but he gives off massive junior vibes.
The need to change everything he touches
Wanting to write clever code over straightforward code
Everything “needs” a refactor
Just deprecates things when he doesn’t want to learn them and writes a new implementation without updating old code
Thinks he knows best while not understanding huge swaths of the codebase
Everything he can’t understand in <5 min is stupid and wrong
If he was less competent (when kept in a box and closely monitored) I’d be pushing even harder to get rid of him.
Steam deck verified sucks because it tells you if it will run well on the deck, but doesn’t tell you if it’ll play well on the deck. If a game doesn’t have controller support then I’m not interested.
I’m not understanding the CoPilot hate. It’s an amazing tool if you are competent. Even when it gets it wrong it still saves me 90%+ of the typing then I just correct what it did differently than how I want it.
Boilerplate becomes a breeze and I work way better when I have something to iterate on rather than coming up with it from scratch. It lets me play with and test ideas way faster and sometimes even does it differently than I’d do it which leads to learning new things and/or looking at the problem in a different way. I don’t blindly follow its output, sometimes I reject it wholesale, sometimes I edit it, sometimes it’s literally exactly what I would have typed myself.
It’s not a new feature either. I used it at least 4 years ago. Plugged my phone into my monitor, Bluetooth controller, and I could play games on my nice monitor. It’s even easier now with USB-C I’d imagine, I was using the lightning-hdmi dongle.
Oh fuck! I hadn’t heard for DRG:Survivor. I LOVE DRG and now I can’t wait for this game.
Also steam just started a big sale of these types of games that you should check out if you haven’t already. Shmup Fest.
Was this article written with AI or just by someone who has no clue what they are talking about?
During his testimony on Thursday and Friday, Bloomberg reports Giannandrea took the time to mention a feature of Safari for iOS 17 that wasn’t reported on for its introduction. The quietly introduced feature allows users to set a different browser when using Private Browsing than the default.
“Different browser”, what they mean is “different search engine”. Even if this author was competent this article is a nothing-burger. Not sure how setting a different search engine in private mode has anything to do with the Google antitrust trial.
I really hope they expand this button in software later. Long press as the only activator is absurd. How about single? Double? Triple? Short-long?
I hate that the only option is long. Also I wish I could change the behavior based on context (is the phone locked, what app is active, etc). I don’t need camera or flashlight if the phone is locked, they are right there but elsewhere that might be nice.
I’m leaning towards camera in video mode as what I set it to, since getting to video mode takes longer than I’d like in most cases, even from the Lock Screen.
Coming from the computer with near 2000 hours of gameplay in Factorio I just couldn’t make the jump to the deck. I miss the precision of a mouse and the keyboard shortcuts (the deck buttons weren’t enough and I didn’t want to memorize a ton of shift/modifier-* type shortcuts)
If you like HoT some other games to try:
Vampire Survivors - I actually like this more that HoT and I played HoT first
Brotato - Simpler version of this type of game, fixed map size but fun variant
20 Minutes till Dawn - I just started this (got it in a Steam bundle with Brotato) and it’s ok, I don’t like the aiming very much but it’s a decent game.
This sub sucks. No really, it’s be great if we could actually have conversations about Apple products and decisions instead of it being full of people that just want to dunk on Apple with uninformed and tired takes.
There is a legit way we can talk about the dongle, how it’s existence makes perfect sense, and how there are cheaper/better alternatives on the market. Instead we have “Hur hur hur, Apple expensive, what do you expect? Are you new?”. It’s not intelligent, it’s not right, and it completely ignores so many realities.
I really wish there was a distinction between “runs well on deck” and “plays well on deck”. I know that you can connect a monitor/mouse/keyboard but I’m mainly looking for games that I can play directly on the deck so mouse-heavy games are a pass for me (occasional mouse or only in certain menus is fine but not in regular gameplay).
Thankfully protondb is an amazing resource and answers most my questions along with Steam’s “full controller support” badge. I just wish there was a simple badge that covered both. There are some “Great on Deck” games that I strongly disagree with, like Human Resource Machine. It’s a great game, I love it, but great on deck it is not. It runs fine but it needs a mouse, the trackpads are way too finicky and the text too small IMHO.
I just got my steam deck a month or so ago during the summer sale but I think it’d be an instant upgrade for me.
I love the thing and anything it improves on I’d want. Even better if they make the upgrade/migration seemless so I can just “clone” my existing deck to the new one.
I mean it makes sense, the Pro 2’s JUST released a little while ago and some people will want to go full USB-C as soon as the iPhone does. In fact I’m a little impressed with Apple, we will see if the Keyboard and Mouse follow suit.
Paprika doesn’t have an official API, like a public one, but they do have a very simple API that you can backwards engineer if you want to integrate with it, which is nice as well.
I left out an important word “left”, as in I get 25-30min into a run and it crashes. I’ll try performance mode!
I sent in logs of my crash to the devs back when it happened.
If it’s legalized at a federal level then we better get a “We did it Joe!” video (like we got after winning the election)
