  • That's why I said code "snippets". I don't trust it to give me the entire answer right from the get go, because I acknowledge its limitations and review it before pasting it in. I find it works better if I tell it to generate specific code rather than everything at once.

    Plus, we're not working on mission critical server stuff here. Those are code used for data analysis which probably could also be found on Stackoverflow anyway. If it works, it works.

  • Everything is magic if you don't understand how the thing works.

  • It's pretty useful if you know exactly what you want and how to work within it's limitations.

    Coworkers around me already use ChatGPT to generate code snippets for Python, Excel VBA, etc. to good success.

  • Still on my journey through Tears of the Kingdom. No spoilers, but one of the side quests that includes taking photos of monsters is so cool!
    Splatoon 3 Side Order also just came out, so I'm going to make some time to play that as well.

  • Yeah, probably not. When you sign up and agreed to their ToS, they don't "own" your content, but you grant them a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use it without compensation.

    From their ToS:

  • Where did you get your information that airliners send planes back to Boeing for maintenance? My quick search tells me that they generally don't, and they either do it themselves, or rely on third parties called Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) providers for heavier maintenance. In the case of United airlines, their MRO provider is called United Technical Operations, their own division.

  • GCam and photospheres! I'm so mad they dropped photospheres on the Pixel 8 line, it's so good for travel landscapes.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I remember that SSDs lifespan mainly depends on how much you overwrite the drive. For 128TB, it should take you a very long time to overwrite the entire drive, let alone couple hundred or thousand times to kill the drive. I know that bit rot also happens on SSDs, but that applies to HDDs as well, and good drive maintenance practices should alleviate the issue. Though for archival purposes/cold storage, tape drives are probably better.

  • I'm fully aware of other options like the ROG Ally, I'm just talking specifically about the Steam Deck :)

  • If you run SteamOS I don't think you can, can you? But other than that, yeah I get the point.

  • I don't know if Steam counts as an "open" ecosystem though. You still kinda need to be online to play Steam games, and you can only launch said game with Steam. DRM free option would be GOG games, which doesn't require online and the GOG launcher to play games afaik.

  • I bought Zelda TotK when it came out, now I'm finally playing it. Just finished the first boss fight, I really like that not only do shrines train you to be creative with the Ultrahand, side quests like sign support and korok escort quests also reenforce it with interesting tools. Towers being launch towers which ties in with the verticality of the game is also a nice touch.

    Still don't know how to deal with lynels, three headed dragons, and the gloom hands thing though.

  • Second half of the fight is so good! Love the special ED as well.

  • There are plenty of things to not like about Apple, but this ain't it, dude.

  • To be fair to Apple, the AVP is first of it's kind. Literally nothing else functions the same way it does. But based on its naming, you can bet a lower priced version is already on its way. For regular consumers, that's the one you should get, not this, especially when 3rd party apps are still being developed.

  • From my understanding, you don't "own" a game you bought on Steam, you just own the license to play it. The game file without modifications is protected by DRM, and only works when it's launched from Steam with a valid license. Notice when using the same account on two different PCs, Steam would force quit the game when you try to launch the same game from the other PC.

    In a closed system like Steam, sure, it would be relatively easy to regulate the buying and selling of game licenses since you're doing it all under Steam's system. When Steam detects a license transfer or however they want to implement it, they can easily disable access for the seller and enable it for the buyer.

    But if the game file is DRM free, then it's the same as downloading pirated movies, there would be no guarantee that the seller has no access to the game after selling it. No way to regulate it either. Hence, endless copies.

  • Physical media doesn't have the luxury of endlessly replicating itself via a simple copy and paste.

  • I mean, with modularity you can pick your needs and make that choice yourself. Some people are willing to carry an extra dongle, and some prefer having the ports sit flush and nothing extra that they don't need, up to you.

  • I don't think you need to be that worried about "tightening control to the likes of Apple". Given that they encourage people build their own cases for the motherboards, design and 3d print custom expansion cards, I won't be surprised if some 3rd party designs a whole new motherboard to fit in their chassis since the size is supposed to be standard. Iirc, Louis Rossman did do a video on them in the past that confirmed Framework would be willing to work with repair shops to provide them the schematics that they are able to provide to aid in repairs.

    On the other topic, I agree that most people won't be needing to swap out parts that often. But that's also the beauty of modularity though. You buy the parts that you actually need and nothing else. Framework can sell the exact same chassis that still fills the need for different people who have different needs for ports. And since they're supposed to reuse the same chassis down the line, you are almost guaranteed to have parts still be available multiple generations after, unlike modern laptops where parts would be much harder to find after a couple of hardware refreshes.

    Framework is still a niche product, thus they will definitely still be much more expensive than regular laptops due to scale and whatnot. Most people would be better off buying those tbh. But if you care about upgradability or repairability multiple years after purchase, I think they're still worth considering.

  • Even if it would get thrown out, they would still have to allocate resources to fight back, which is time and money they would rather spend on something else. I understand why they just don't want to have to deal with a potential lawsuit that may or may not come.
