That’s a fair a good point!

I’ve switch between iOS and Android, but good news on one of those you can set your default browser now on iOS.

Check out Orion! Firefox and Chrime add on support.

Edit: Also like Vivaldi. If you want device wide I can highly recommend NextDNS

Thanks!

Sounds interesting. Brains not braining well on a Saturday what’s an AS? Associate Degree?

I think that’s an idea that I might have to seriously consider. I loved building out my own, and it’s an area I have some general expertise in. Thanks!

I’ve been on both sides and to this day am still a technical escalation point for some products even as a director. I’ll take a look at both that you suggested though. I kind of have a love/hate with project managers so not sure I could look myself in the mirror for that one. :)

I appreciate you sharing thoughts and ideas.

Appreciate the additional details, that gives me some place to start with additional research.

Probably not far from what you ran into. I’m 12 years into it and just losing my mind. I have an absolutely amazing boss and teams and managers under me that I mostly adore, but it’s just taking a toll mentally it seems.

Not sure if it’s the endless MVP products that never get touched again, the broken releases or just the bottom falling out of the tech industry but I’m just spent and have been so for a while.

How was your transition to infrastructure management? Did you have previous experience in that?

Mid-30’s working for a tech company as middle level leadership for the support department and need to find something new. Trades are certainly a consideration, especially having a family member or two that have gone down that path.

Honestly if heights aren’t an issue could be a great job.

I thought it was the opposite with them?

I’ve considered trades even with it being a full 180 from what I do now. Seems like location can vastly vary the experience. Build the base and bones of what society runs off of seems interesting though.

Where can I get a steam controller dirt cheap? I’ve wanted one since I got my SD but any of them in decent used shape seem to go for $50-60 and often are missing the dongle.

Appreciate you sharing that. While I do enjoy platformers I worry the entire thing is a novelty that I’d stop carrying after a few weeks.

That’s certainly part of it, my steam deck is in use most days and easily one of my best video game purchases.

I very much have wanted one of these to carry around for quick gaming fixes, but have struggled to justify the $219 for one. Especially when I have seen mixed reviews of the quality, hard to tell if vocal minority or it’s just a lucky draw if you get a good one or not. Anyone had one for a while and still loving it?

I’ve never heard of it, but sad to hear they sold out. Just as a note totally love there icons. I miss icons feeling like someone put some real effort and love into them.

Edit: Damn they’re just sunsetting the products and services? That’s rough.

This is a great post. I don’t personally need it but I love to see these sorts of teaching/sharing posts especially when companies make these sorts of decisions.

Fair enough :)

I’m opposite and just now have a 4 year old dabbling with electronics.
