Same could be said about 90% of things humans do.

While I agree, we don’t do enough, can you say your job directly impacts the environment for the positive? If not, then you, like me, like them, are part of the problem.

Plasma gasification can self sustain and generate power

It’s so fucking weird

I guess, but I dunno, that still seems dubious to me.

I never understood why people would want polluted air and water, blows my mind.

Cool, with the phone on silent (which I don’t do) I’d have missed that too, and would have been cancelled and rescheduled.

This adamant denial that phone calls are useful is weird.

Tell that to the delivery driver that called me because they were outside with my groceries.

Only if it’s right by you or isn’t in your bag or something. Hence audible alerts, they break through the physical barriers.

I don’t really get the whole not answering the phone thing. I hate phonecalls but I always answer my phone.

The amount of important calls I’d have missed if I buried my head in the sand like that is insane.

Sure if 90% of the calls were sales or scams I’d think differently, but there are ways to prevent that too.

I find it weird that everyone has their phone on silent all the time too. If mine was on silent I’d never look at it unless I’m bored.

Maybe it’s time to design a super slim case for mine that has a keyboard, only I worry it’ll be top heavy

I think I’m okay with that tbh. I miss my Blackberry Torch. Full touch screen on the front and a slide out keyboard

God I miss real keyboards like this.

Super easy to solve. Just seta geofence of no hooting. There’s a good reason they hoot in the first place, but it’s not needed in that lot.

I only really have issues when I’m out of the country, especially when I’m back in South Africa

Accept that not everyone will like you back, in fact, most won’t. Mourne the loss, be sad, cry, then get up and carry on, because there will be another.

I also prefer to stay friends if I can, because if I loved them for some reason, them not feeling anything for me doesn’t change that, so I want them in my life.

Some of this was only possible due to the fact that I have had my heart broken too many times to count, so it’s also a thing of practicing radical acceptance.

There’s more but I’d have to search for it, it’s a good starting point though.

Yuuup, they use an ASIC too.

Here’s an attempted teardown https://www.youtube.com/live/AN0CMmFQIi0

I have a few Pricer* ones and they’re a pita to use.

Have to build an IR blaster to program them.

You also can’t use them once the battery is flat or if you remove the battery because it uses volatile memory to store the firmware.

BTW, I work for one of those evil games companies that do reprehensible things, because I like having a good working environment and having a well paying job. You too have a good day.
