johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Is Taking Extra Care With ‘Ambitious’ iOS 18 UpdateEnglish38·1 year agoI’d be completely cool if the they slowed down a bit and do two year release cycles.
johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto Gaming@lemmy.ml•SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck'181·1 year agoSuch good news. I hope someone can answer this either theoretically or practically as I’m not as knowledgeable in this.
One of the things I love about the steam deck is the ability to just turn it off and back on a few days later and the game is exactly where I left off. If steamOS is on a PC or another handheld deck. Would it still be possible to still have this feature? I guess my question is whether this is a software or hardware feature.
johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•Here are all the Golden Joystick Awards 2023 winnersEnglish10·1 year agoIt does goes to show hardware isn’t everything. In fact it’s a pretty small factor for most if the games are fun.

That’s why there’s a difference between book smart and street smart. Working on both matters. It’s a competitive world out there. You’re right, a degree doesn’t guarantee you a job, it probably did back in the day that’s why older generations wanted kids to go to college. Hence the competition.
Like it or not. This is essentially what comes with living in a capitalist society. My parents always told me growing up to learn a skill. Doesn’t matter what just like it and keep getting better at it. And that’s your fallback. It’s definitely help led me through lots of industries and careers. But I couldn’t have done it without a combo of hustle and study. All of it, the study, the networking, the interviews IS the work. There’s no “end”. So you gotta find some joy out of the process otherwise it’s hard to be happy in life.
I loved getting better at what I did. I would constantly work on or talk to folks on how to get better and how to get a job from what I did. My only goal was to get a job even slightly close to my industry and drop retail work. Once I got that I set a new goal, but all in the name of getting better at my craft and learning new skills to complement it. That involved going back to university in my mid, late 20s.
I never saw it as my career. I just wanted to get better at the few things I like doing and hustle to learn how to get paid for it. Then how to get better again and get paid more for that. Money came naturally because people do want to pay for passionate skillful people. But lots and lots of struggle along the way. Not trying to undersell that. But it was still fun and worth it when you have people by your side in this journey.
So on getting a degree, the most important thing I got out of it was making friends.
johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•Rockstar Games regarding Grand Theft Auto VIEnglish1·1 year agoI’ll def play it but not hyped for it. Hopefully they have a good amount of single player story. Rockstar has a way of writing story and character that’s so special. Hope that hasn’t changed
johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Homer Simpson Declares He Won't Strangle Bart Anymore onThe Simpsons: 'Times Have Changed!'3·1 year agoIn defence of the strangling, I assumed it was a 3 stooges inspired slapstick humour that didn’t have any malice intentions when writing. Def a good call to just end it
johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Homer Simpson Declares He Won't Strangle Bart Anymore onThe Simpsons: 'Times Have Changed!'32·1 year agoSimpsons really did challenge culture and now it’s become culture.
That being said it was edgy for the reasons not because of a white man voicing Apu or Homer strangling Bart. The edginess were its ideas and satirical humour compared to anything else on TV at the time. I’m in favour of Homer not strangling Bart and retiring Apu. Keeping these things wouldn’t help anyone, or suddenly make the show great again.
Hope everything goes down in price a bit. Honestly Apple could afford it just to earn a bit of good will.
I think for the base price you get a really really good product despite 8gb memory. Most people just need it to perform and it does. But yea once you start upgrading it’s insanely ridiculous and it’s insulting to those who want more out of the best product they’ve made in a long time.
Nothing beats that feeling of finishing that final exam and walking out of the school. To only get slapped with a fat D a couple weeks later
Ah right thanks. Forgot they made a usbc wired headphones.
johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•The ASUS Eee PC and the netbook revolutionEnglish9·2 years agoThese would be great once arm chips become more of a thing on PC. Love the form factor.
I wish Apple would bring the 11” MacBook Air back again. I still occasionally look to pick an old one up for fun but never pulled the trigger.
You can look at reviews for second gen AirPods Pro. They’re practically the same with port change and a slight change inside that only affects compatibility with the vr headset that’s not even out. I got the usbc ones but don’t have an android to test sorry

johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2: Everything We Know - IGNEnglish4·2 years agoStill doesn’t feel like Nintendo to make a direct successor to a console. But it wouldn’t be Nintendo if they don’t add some cool idea to it instead of a straight forward spec bump.
I was gonna say Queensland. But Tassie actually does get the most Alabama type jokes.
johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are there any people who hates music?4·2 years agoI definitely met people who don’t care about music. And would prefer silence than music on the radio. I don’t believe they hate music in general.
I’m at an age where I’m just not as passionate about music as I was. Not saying only young people enjoy music. I’m just currently not inspired by it and hope to be so again soon.
johnthedoe@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Bay Area tech CEO worth $35 billion says ‘suffering’ wasn't worth itEnglish1·2 years agoExactly. I’m sure there were regrets and sadness about the time he’s lost to family and friends and being young. But it effectively paid off. If he shared his wealth those people and left tomorrow to make up for lost time it will be a very very net positive life.
But he’s in his current role. Reminding us this billionaire use to be human but we don’t care. Because it’s such an unfathomable amount of wealth for most people he* might as well be fictional.
