Also been using a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro since 2020 and agreed with everything you’ve said. 10 day battery life still holding strong and the screen is essentially bullet proof (non-saphire version here). It’s smart enough to where I’ll get notifications from my phone but not smart enough that I’ll be composing a fully fledged out response through it, that’s what the phone is for. Thought about the newer ones, but I think at this point I just want to run this one until it’s dead.

Crazy how The Paw Patrol movie predicted this back in 2021 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ystSNXcmWdQ

YES! I’M SO READY FOR THIS!

I think at a certain point, a break from the game is warranted before going back in to grind and be specced correctly for a difficult area/boss

Malileth, the black blade in Eden Ring.

I eventually had to summon co-op players in and just sit in the corner and let them do the work. Fuck that boss…

I’m going to contact them today. G.skill says they have a lifetime warranty on their RAM, and these 2 sticks were bought in December 2024 (for $65…)

Isn’t the puck USB? Just plug it into the Deck Dock, then it should in theory use the 2.4 GHz over Bluetooth? Unless for some reason it won’t do that?

LPT: Super glue a BB pellet into the plastic air stem cap. Results in a slow leak over time, and it may take the owner a couple of times filling up the tire to realize what the problem is.

Yes, our main floor living room doesn’t have a TV. Instead we have a piano, guitar, and high end speakers hooked up to a vinyl player with a collection that I’m constantly growing (probably to my wife’s chagrin). It’s my way of putting my phone out of reach and disconnecting for a minute while The Armed yells at me.

I was part of this recall, bought the 552 back during the pandemic. So I only qualified for a $50 voucher towards a new model, which happened to release at the same time of this recall announcement. Looking further into the recall details, the total unita of this affected model sold were 3,844,200. Of that 3+ million units, there were 350 reported incidents, 111 of which resulted in an injury.

I’ll take my chances with these dumbbells I’ve been using for the past 5 years rather than them trying to upsell me on the new model.

Lightroom Classic. I know, I know; Adobe evil.

I tried learning DarkTable, but with a demanding 3 year old and other life things going on, I just don’t have it in me to learn a new workflow and I want to keep up with one of the few hobbies I have left.

Baldurs Gate 3.

I’ve tried starting it up like 3 or 4 times but I just find the combat to be too slow and difficult. I constantly get my ass handed to me and I just wasn’t enjoying the progression. The most recent time I was save scumming but even that wasn’t helping me progress quickly enough Tried bumping it down to easy but even that didn’t help. In general I just didn’t have the patience for it.

I liked the story and the visuals. It’s just the combat mechanics were what turned me off.

We had a town hall at my company today and they demo’d their new AI product. It looked and sounded impressive, until you realized it wasn’t the actual product but a Figma demo. If this thing ever sees the light of day, and it actually works without hallucinating bullshit data points, I’ll eat my socks.

Ultimately got NonSteamLaunchers via Decky working. Lutris was still giving me problems this most recent run.

And now I’m able to waste away time in D2R!

I hear ya, I was hoping to avoid double dipping…

I remember my friend bringing over his Xbox and playing Halo for the first time. I was constantly looking down at the ground while he was pistol sniping me across the map. Figured it out eventually.
