The Gaming Historian - he stopped making videos (good for him to stop before it became a chore)

The Escapist - everyone left for Second Wind after they tried to lay off people

Stop Skeletons from Fighting has some amazing docs and just released another for Mighty Number 9 that was really good

I buy based on trust, and at this time, steam hasn’t lost it.

They’ve made their drm more lax over the years while Sony and microslop have worsened theirs. Like how you couldn’t easily play your games offline before steam deck.

Still buying my games from GOG first though.

My recommendation was more of a “quick turn around to solve a problem” solution. I would hope they would’ve already reached out to Core designs, and Core Designs appear to be responsive to issues, even out of the warranty period. However Amazon can have a new charger at your door step in days if you wanted to do basic trouble shooting.

Yup it’s a Small Bezel. Put it there just in case due to the reported issues of the screen cracking, and I have a history of banging my arms into things. But I am now just liking the extra color

Yes there is. Wouldn’t have helped me with what I wanted to do with this project. But it does exists

My watch face, eyeing it carefully for bugs. Paranoid I forgot something 🤣 (loving it though and happy I can get a Aqua color like in platinum)

The Time 2, loving it. Had the original time and it feels like it but smoother and faster. Time has moved on and I hope Pebble will make a more expensive one which has GPS for actual fitness tracking. But as a smartwatch, it’s crazy that no one else has made a superior product.

The Framework 13, best laptop I’ve ever gotten. Now I got it at a time when RAM and storage was cheap, so it was a lot cheaper than it is today. But even the base AMD machine is a beast when it comes to development and gaming. Not as good as a steam deck, but I don’t think I have a need to upgrade for a long time.

I could write the watch face app in a day, their tutorials were clear enough for that. But holes started appearing for things like, how to utilize 1 or 2bit Palettes. How to implement a sprite sheet and select a character, and the formats which are being returned from Clay when you update the settings.

There are no guides, just example projects, which I could use and learn from. But man the LLM made it easier. Even when it was wrong, it gave me enough that I could go to the docs and say, oh that’s what that meant.

Close Cinnamon, using Mint

you can get the older cables cheap on Amazon, they are compatible.

I know Victor :P

I honestly don’t see any issues with using Windows, especially if it works for your use case. Though I would advise you to take a closer look at the terminal in the screenshot.

Compared to my previous watches.

Pebble Time: It’s a significant improvement, but that was to be expected considering it’s 10 years old. I love the larger display and the slimmer bezels are nice. The build is excellent, and I appear to not have gotten a defective unit, so it’s solid. I put a 3D Printed Bezel on it for the glass, mostly since I wanted to add more color, and partially due to the hoopla about the cracked displays a small number of users are reporting. Currently I’ve only charged my watch once since it arrived to top it off, and I am only at 34% at 19 days in. It looks like I might get close to the promised 30 day battery life. But we’ll see.

Garmin Fenix 6: I prefer to use my Garmin as my exercise tracker, especially with the GPS built it. The Pebble’s battery life is equal since they both have transflective screens. But where the Pebble wins out is being a better watch. Day to day, it has better app support for watch features, like timers, and stop watches. Notifications read better on the Pebble, and on Android more options to respond to messages. I’m still going to use my garmin for bikes and other fitness stuff. But my Pebble Time 2 has outright replaced it at this point.

With that said, I find it hard to recommend a Pebble, if the idea of a Pebble hasn’t already sold you. If you are looking for a fitness tracker you will be much better severed with a Garmin. But the tinkerability of Pebble, it’s long life time (my original time did last 10 years), and the fact the entire eco system of Pebble, from the App to the website is now open source, I would recommend it, if this sounds nice to you.

I Melt With You - Bowling for Soup

I wasn’t asking you, I was asking the glasses

Hail Science!

You don’t want it. He’ll be a Martyr and then it’ll be worse.

He needs to be voted out, or forcibly removed, then taken out back by Americans. Otherwise you’ll get more.

The internet is poor and I couldn’t setup Windows 11 without it. So I said screw it and installed mint. Haven’t looked back.

It’s located in the part design workbench, I can remember if you can make a cube first the edit it in a part design. But my workflow in CAD is.

Sketch > Part Design > Sketch > Part Design …

In the Part Design work bench you will find additive features (extrude or revolution) as well as Subtractive tools (Pocket or Groove)

I have 2 and it depends on what mood I am in.

For Albums I need to like every song and I need to be able to listen to the whole thing without skipping.

Anamanaguchi - Endless Fantasy is one of them and I just to LP for it: https://anamanaguchi.bandcamp.com/album/endless-fantasy
