A desktop that was not designed by a programmer with a side-interest in UI, but an actual qualified designer.

And before you reply and tell me I just need to try whatever flavor you like: it’s a piece of shit, don’t bother me.

This is so true of many people.

I was a professional game developer for two decades. I was never formally trained, I am completely self-taught.

I must break things apart and build them up from the individual molecules, in order for me to understand things.

When I learned trigonometry in school, or should I say when they attempted to teach it to me, it flew over my head like a flock of birds. I could understand none of it nor could I understand any of the reasons.

When I started to develop an obsessive passion for programming when I was around 14, and I needed to figure out how to shoot a bullet out of a cannon at a certain angle and break down the components of motion into x and Y… I felt like I invented trigonometry myself in about 3 hours.

People are weird and everybody approaches things differently. I could see myself beginning to Intuit calculus concepts with a game, but at the same time I think it’s such a specialty ask that it’s not realistic.

Whatever map software you pick, try to download a huge chunk of offline map for your area.

Figure our the public transit apps the locals use, familiarize yourself. Download offline data if possible.

My sympathies go out to anybody forced to use a Linux desktop environment.

Man will you just shut up and leave me alone

Your first reply to me was dumb, because I already answered it… You just didn’t bother to read it

I really don’t care about your feelings because you bought this battery and you need validation

Just stop and leave me alone

Stop badgering me with pointless leading questions. You phrase them in such a way that they are rhetorical, yet you probably want an answer, WHICH YOU WILL ALLOW TO SAIL OVER YOUR HEAD, YOU’LL COMPLETELY IGNORE, AND THEN YOU’LL PROCEED WITH ANOTHER POINTLESS QUESTION

If you can’t ADD something to this conversation, leave. I’m not interested in this little performance you’re putting on here, it’s completely intellectually dishonest.

Well then if I must answer the question to satisfy you, the answer is it’s too difficult and expensive to manufacture them right now

You may have a great battery, I’m proud of you for making that consumer purchase

But the technology is still in its infancy

It’s been known for years that silicon is much better at storing lithium ions, like insanely more efficient than graphite which is what’s currently used in anodes. But it’s ability to pack in the lithium ions is its downfall… Charging and discharging embrittles it by actually and expanding/shrinking the lattice

So it took a few years to surmount that challenge. Figuring out how to not have the material destroy itself, and finding the balance of how much energy to store. As far as I know there’s a few different approaches that involve deposition of individual molecules into crystals… and nanotech photo lithography and crazy shit that’s honestly too hard for me to keep up with.

There’s all kinds of hype surrounding them and people talk about them being like an order of magnitude more efficient than current LiPo technology, but that’s a lot of hot air, we’re looking at like 30% improvements now with slightly increased charging times… huge complexity increases in manufacturing… cost… We don’t even know what’s going to happen when we deploy a couple hundred million of these.

They’re going to be the next big thing for batteries but we’re kind of in the early adopting phase right now.

You can make it right now, get two tablets and a piece of software called unified remote, done

Why spend $12 on an easily replaceable battery when you can just use $11.97 worth of 18650’s and six hours of your life?

Donate to homeless shelter or men’s transitional housing.

Unified Remote

It’s funny, I bought an s9 plus at launch and was recently “kicking tires” thinking of upgrading.

Looked at the recent crop and from my judgement, they’re about 15% better than this one for the things that matter to me. For only $2,000 CAD

Looks like I’ll be having the screen and battery replaced and keeping this for another 7 years.

These questions are so exhausting.

How much does a car cost?

Look, you have to figure out what you need and what you can afford and then research it.

What’s your logic here?

So you disagree that Baldur’s Gate 3 has performance issues, and that means that this game doesn’t?

The article says that 24 frames per second is what you can expect. I would say by most standards that’s pretty low performance.
