1500$ because you don't have bulk parts, otherwise it could go down by a significant amount.

However, the 5k doesn't include all the hours of engineering, which costs a lot more than the hardware.

With that said, you are absolutely right that we get dog shit computers for the price. The amount of hours I've spent in my life reducing the cost for a board is insane. And bear in mind that this wasn't for high volume production neither where hardware cost reductions have a big impact.

I hope that this guy go on to do his own thing and doesn't get gobbled by the corporate machine (or become the corporate machine).

There are a lot of open source mechanical keyboards out there and with a bit of elbow grease, anyone that is a little bit tech savvy can figure out how to link all the information together and do something with that.

However, the thing that stands out to me is the integration of all the parts.

Integration between hardware and firmware is a bitch, and add to that the mechanical integration as well. This dude hopefully has a bright future ahed of him, because he certainly has the chops.

They shouldn't be old and disabled, that's your problem right there!

Canada Post has certain obligations that other courrier don't.

So that makes sense that a growing user base put financial stress, because they cannot drop "unprofitable" customers.

But the discussion should be why is Canada Post run as a business instead of a service?

I wish we lived in the world where this piece of shit would be trialed like the criminal scum he is.

But I have more chance winning the lottery.

I mean, this is the same thing happening every 10 years or so.

Unfortunately, the state of the world today makes it much more damageable this time around.

It won't do shit. He doesn't care, people that support him don't care as well.

It's gonna come down to fisticuffs and I hope there are less Nazis than there seems to be.

I got gifted one, so I didn't choose it. It's a great printer, but it sucks that Bambu Lab is pulling that shit.

They have their own closed firmware I think. So someone has to create a new one from scratch for each product.

I don't even have to click the link to know what it is.

I haven't laughed like that from a cartoon for a while. The guy is funny as fuck.

I don't know your situation, but I am an overwhelmed father of two young kids and the only way I can cope is by choosing days where I make the time after the routine, knowing full well it will be a shitty day after that. No chores, unhealthy eating if I so choose and going to bed late.

It's the best I've found so far that keeps me afloat. But we're always one stuffy nose away from disaster.

No

If they use the term themselves, it's just a synonym then

Both can be true. CEOs influence the direction the company takes.

Money talks and in that case, lots of people in this thread don't want to encourage a company that endorse a fascist. Which is legitimate.

Politics are mixed with everything.

In that case, I see this as speak with your wallet moment. That statement has done it for me and I am dropping proton for Tuta or something else.

This is not the definition of paternal at all.

I am not asking for a rational response, I am asking for a respectful response, and my partner expects the same from me.

It's fine if my partner is angry or sad or anything else, but it's not okay to make you feel bad for a genuine question and trying to help.

It is possible to be emotional and respectful but what you described in your OP isnt that.

Live service games and mobile games use the same psychological tricks to keep people coming back and entice people to buy microtransactions.

After that, the theme of the game appeal to different folks.

I've learned to recognize my triggers, but it took a lot of conscious efforts to achieve that. I still buy some microtransactions from time to time for free games I play a lot, but this is a conscious decision I make and not a trigger making me buy things.

And even then, I feel the temptations every time a cool skin is put straight in my face. The psychology behind all that has been distilled to a science and used against us.

Your initial point is that the partner already expressed their point clearly and that's the other partner (the man), that didn't listen.

To which I responded that the onus is on the pissed person to communicate well the issue, not the person listening (assuming that both are acting on good faith).

It's easy to say " I am mad because of X" regardless of the situation, instead of playing mind games. Or "I am mad about X and I don't know how to express it". Simple, respectful and a starting point to resolve the conflict.

This is not coming from a paternal or punitive angle, this is just proper communication. If you can't express why you are upset to someone and act like the meme, this is not acceptable and respectful.

The right kind of brain being most human being.

Companies have made everything in their power to find what is addictive and how to implement it in a game to squeeze more money from players.

I don't escalate, but I tell my partner that her behavior is not acceptable, and she does the same to me.

Being pissed isn't a free pass to be a dick to your partner. If they are pissed and they come to you, then they don't get to be pissy with you.

If they can't do that, they can go take a five and come back after. It's the same thing we teach children.

In the case I fucked up, I apologize and make amends. Again, it isn't a free pass for my partner to berate me.

And my partner expects the same from me.
