  • Fuck Nintendo. I paid full price for BotW late last year, $100 fucking dollars for a six year old game. I wasn't happy about it but whatever, greatest game ever right? What could go wrong? Turns out BotW is a mid game at best and I got bored before my trip ended.

    I am still completely baffled at the reception that game got.

  • Damn it's been a minute since I've seen a kek.

    Good ol' kek

  • Yeah this isn't surprising news to me. I can see the vision being super useful in some niche business/art cases but for 99.9% of people it's a prohibitively expensive toy.

  • Could you replicate every single one of those features with a google cardboard? I think so

    This is so far from the truth I just have to assume you're making a "joke" and not an apple hater who's too fanatical to form their own opinions.

    The vision costs a shit load of money because they've put an abundance technology and R&D into the product to make it capable of things no other VR/AR headset is capable of. By all accounts the screen resolution, response rate, 3D tracking, and gesture recognition create an experience that other headsets can attempt to mimic but will fall short of. Watch MKBHD's videos on it, it's genuinely a really impressive piece of technology.

    And yes, they charge more because they are Apple and they know their hoards of loyal followers will buy anything they make.

  • My goal isn’t to beat the market

    Yup. Nobody consistently does. If there exists some secret sauce to beating the market you're certainly not going to find it on lemmy. Buy index funds and forget about them.

  • Oftentimes people who obsess over crunching numbers and doing lots of research, will rarely make more than if they just bought index funds.

    I'm pretty sure like 95% of people who are paid to beat the market perform worse than index funds over any period greater than 5 years. I'm procrastinating at work so I'm going to be one of those annoying people that tell you to go research it yourself, but ya. From everything I've heard essentially nobody beats the market over long periods of time, it's a losing battle. Just buy index funds and wait.

    It's boring but it's the smartest thing to do.

  • In my opinion you are describing gambling not investing.

  • My advice is to read the simple path to wealth. I listened to the audiobook, its short and sweet and entertaining.

    The gist: Nobody consistently beats the stock market (not even the people being paid to do so), don't try, it's gambling. Buy index ETFs when you have extra and hold on to them until you retire. Don't time the market, dont overthink it. Buy and forget. There's a part of the book where he says that the best group of investors were dead people and the second best were people who forgot about their investments. Idk if it's true but it stuck with me.

    Spend a few hours learning about tax differed savings accounts or whatever your country offers and take advantage of them.

    In my experience, being investing intelligently is really fucking easy and really fucking boring.

  • Does office365 support linux?

  • They are probably using their main desktop as their jellyfin server.

  • Nuance is dead.

  • P U B L I C T R A N S P O R T A T I O N

  • Same thing with motion sensor sinks. There are way too many that don’t work for people with darker skin because they were only ever tested on white people.

    Epitomizes white privilege for me. The white male is considered default and as a result we enjoy benefits on the daily without even realizing it. The book Invisible women does a great job pointing out many ways in which the "male default bias" (idk if thats the correct terminology) negatively effects women. Some of these are 'trivial', like how women's bathrooms can serve fewer people at a time because stalls are less space efficient than urinals. So instead of giving womens bathrooms more space we just laugh at how womens bathrooms always have long lines. Many are obviously not so trivial.

  • Lemmy learns exponential math.

    Mostly joking, thanks for doing the math.

  • Also who the fuck is calling autistic people too sensitive? This image is like victim fetishizing.

  • Funny, cause nothing breaks immersion faster for me than product placement.

  • There must be a term for middle-ground people like me. I've used computers my whole life, as a kid I portfowarded to host WC3 servers, as a teenager I self-hosted minecraft servers both on my pc and rented linux servers. I'm a software developer and I've dabbled in dozens of technologies and have a decent understanding of so many computer/IT related things that most people don't even know exists.

    I'm trying to say I think I'm a tech wizard but putting me in the "less tech savvy" bucket with my mom feels weird. Self hosting was a nightmare to get setup. There's just too much shit to learn and when all you want is a Sonarr/radarr/jellyfin setup you're just figure out the important details and get the damn thing working before you forget it all.

    I like having all the customization available to me but I only want to learn details that are relevant to what I'm trying to do. It's like game developers using Unity instead of writing their own physics engine. Yeah sure I could study real hard and painstakingly implement my own engine but it's going to take fucking forever and there will be ever-present hidden issues plaguing me as I make the part of the game I actually care about.

  • Yeah I was planning on using that but somehow the tool enabled dev mode for an extremely long time.

  • For anyone that has an LG smart tv: https://github.com/webosbrew/dev-manager-desktop

    You can install an ad free yt app with this tool. Apparently there are issues where you need to re-enable dev mode every 24 hours, but I have not had any issues.
