It’s been running great for me (3080), but I left everything on default. The only issue we’ve had is the game has crashed for one of our party about 4 times when going through doors. It’s saved progress all but one of those crashes.
Overall, it feels like Remnant 1.5 - same generally loop and just a bit more polished. But that’s great. It’s exactly what I wanted.
Basically what dispensaries in Washington, DC do. Everything is a “donation” or an “art purchase” and the pot is a “gift”. Total nonsense, but it mostly works, because DC intends to legalize recreational marijuana sales, and Congress isn’t letting it happen. So it seems like enforcement is just lax.
I agree so much with this comment. Including feeling like I need to switch back to carrying around a proper camera.
When I switched to the Google Pixel 2, the post processing truely was revolutionary compared to other phone cameras and I stopped using anything other than the phone to take pictures. Even back then, iPhone had post processing turned up to a level that most pictures looked a bit “off” to me in the background details, but most people didn’t seem to notice it, even if I tried to point it out. Google’s flagship camera seemed to avoid that over processing and the results were really good. Unfortunately, Google seemed to get cocky about it and just kept increasing the level of processing as the years passed.
Now I’m on a Pixel 7 Pro that I got specifically for the 5x zoom camera and I’ve been consistently pissed off by every zoom picture. Even though it’s an optical zoom, the processing gets turned up so high that I feel like it’s worse than early days low resolution digital zoom. The picture basically looks a pretty decent prompt generated picture vs. a camera shot. It’s kind of ridiculous how bad details get just made up with the pictures out of the 5x zoom lens. The 2x and 1x lenses are substantially better, but still frustrating.
The annoying thing is every photo looks pretty good in the preview thumbnail and even usually looks pretty good in the phone gallery. But if you zoom in or view on a monitor, the digital slurry in the background becomes to apparent. I haven’t tried to print a photo from this phone, but I imagine they would generally look pretty poor.
They’ve optimized so incredibly heavily for the common use case (browsing pictures on your phone) that they’ve forgotten everything else.
Kids in school was the primary reason for a printer, but the need has definitely decreased over the years. Our family is at about 5 prints per year at this point, which is exactly why a laser printer is so valuable. The same Brother printer ($150 in 2012) has worked for us for going on 11 years now with minimal expense on replacement toner. It just works when needed and never dries up or has issues.
But as much as you would like to be paperless, things come up. Some companies insist on wet signatures, other things need to be mailed in, etc. It’s certainly becoming less and less necessary year by year, though.
I’m not sure if I would replace this printer if it fails, but it sure is nice to have around when I need it, without the hassle of going out to print something at a shop.
Same with FreshRSS - I set it up years ago and basically forgot about maintaining it. It’s been running doing exactly what I needed for the whole time. It might not be the best option, but I can’t really think of anything more I need.
I’ll have to check out moRSS.
Cool project. I appreciate these kind of passion projects.
Your about page mentions that open street map doesn’t have a field for the message on the bench. So it sounds like you are keeping a secondary set of data, and this isn’t being incorporated in OSM?
Have you tried to get that added in as a supported field? This feels like something that belongs in that dataset. I have no idea how hard it is to change OSM, though.
I’ve been using Kagi for over a year at this point, and have almost entirely stopped jumping to Google except for some of the dynamic results like currency conversion, weather, and units conversion. Everything search, Kagi seems to nail it, and I think I just have a nostalgia bias that makes me think Google would be better - but when I actually compare I realize I’m wrong. So much AI nonsense on Google results.
I’ve been using Kagi’s summarizer a lot recently - if it gives me a Reddit result, I have Kagi summarize the result for me instead of giving Reddit the page view from me, and it works incredibly well.
My only negative with Kagi is the price, but they claim they are passing along actual costs and it’s more expensive than you’d think to run a search engine. I’m not sure how much that improves with scale, but I doubt they can get very big at the price point they are currently at.
Thanks for sharing! I wouldn’t have thought to use wood filler epoxy for this, but it makes perfect sense. I have a malm dresser that I think I’ll try this approach on.
Wood repair epoxy putty is really useful stuff - I’ve used it to fix door jambs to repair a broken jamb and when changing out hardware, and with a little cleanup and paint you can’t tell it’s not wood.
I’m a long-time loyal Sportrock member, and… this is bittersweet news. EarthTreks has always been “the other gym”, and I’d love to keep supporting Sportrock.
But this would cut my drive down from 30+ minutes to 5 minutes. If this goes through and opens, I’ll pretty much be forced to switch.
I’ve had a lot of success using Merlin Bird ID (by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology) to figure out what birds I’m hearing around my house. It listens and detects likely birds based on the songs, and then provides a lot of additional information about the bird and sample songs. It also has other features for helping identify birds visually.
It’s been very informative for understanding that many of the distinct sounds I’m hearing regularly actually come from the same bird. I didn’t realize how much variation a single bird could have until I started using this app.
As for learning the calls, that’s going to come down to standard learning techniques. Merlin Bird ID doesn’t have any flashcard style learning built in.
