Also a lifelong Windows user, but have to use a Mac for work as of last year. I was expecting it to be a nightmare, but honestly 99% of the day to day stuff is either identical or similar enough that you can figure it out in a minute or two at most.
Things get a bit trickier if you’re trying to do more complex power user type stuff, since there are different paradigms at play, but even then a quick search will easily point you in the right direction.
I’d consider myself an average ublock user on desktop, and as a point of comparison I’ve yet to run into anything on iOS that wasn’t blocked just as well by AdGuard for Safari, plus the distraction control feature for hiding one-off annoyances.
Yeah the stealth mechanics can be very frustrating, especially in NOLF1 which has some insta-fail missions if you get detected IIRC. I still love it, but I think that’s at least partly because I played it as a kid so I can overlook many of its flaws.
Been a few years since I played, but I remember the second game having some gameplay improvements, but otherwise it’s broadly the same: if you aren’t enjoying the first then you probably won’t enjoy the sequel either.
I would also add that it’s ok to not like a game, even if they’re critically acclaimed or cult classics. Doesn’t mean you’re wrong or that the game is overrated, just means you didn’t vibe with it and that’s fine. Plenty more games out there to enjoy!
That’s why HLTB splits playtime into play style categories, depending on if you just want to see credits, if you’re gunning for 100%, or something in between.
Shooting film is actually a growing market again these days, so I would want them to release an affordable new film camera.
They already license out the Kodak brand for the Kodak H35, which is a fun half-frame 35mm point-and-shoot, but it’s cheaply made and very light on features, so there’s still a gap in the market for something more advanced.
Pentax has recently reentered that exact market with the Pentax 17, but at ~£500 retail I believe another company like Kodak could undercut them and gain a following.
They’re never going to successfully compete with high end DSLR manufacturers like Canon, and the ultra-cheap analogue film market is flooded with near-identical ‘toy’ cameras, but there’s absolutely space for them to make a comeback as a trusted mid-range boutique brand for enthusiasts.
Good (but sad) demo of how LLMs and stable diffusion have completely poisoned the term AI to the point that even legit use-cases get shit on by association.
Not sure about the minority now, but you will be in a few years if not already. Prebuilt PCs haven’t included optical drives as standard for years now, and good luck buying a new laptop that has one.
Optical media isn’t dead but it’s on life support and will become functionally obsolete in the next decade, same as what happened to magnetic media.
I’m honestly surprised that Slack doesn’t have some kind of steganographic watermarking so that leaked screenshots can be traced back to the original user, given how many big companies use it for all their internal comms.
Yes, but that’s kind of missing the point. This is a full FPGA system so not only will it upscale and look great on a 4K TV (good luck doing that with a legit PS1), it can also run any other system you can find a core for.
