I've only ever owned a Steam Deck so can't really comment. I used it a couple times intending to use it when travelling by train then sold it because it was too wide/big to really carry around with the carry case. Didn't

Don't really have the room for a gaming PC anymore after moving, I've got my old one but it needs some fixing up (RTX 3080). 1TB Xbox One Series X I got second hand for about $400 (also added a storage expansion for about $130) is

In SCRUM though if that stuff isn't in the sprint you'll probably get backlash from QAs as it needs testing etc, or questioned why you're bringing in that stuff. Easier to sit back and not do anything.

Use a newer machine to grab the files then transfer them? You must have one somewhere, you're chatting on HN with a modern SSL certificate.

Flashpoint runs without installing anything via the ZIP version. It's FOSS software so no issue there I hope?

The Infinity version lets you download as you go rather than download the whole 2TB+! archive. Can just grab them out of the cache once they've been downloaded, wherever they're stored.

Enterprise usage. Devs know companies will just pay out. Easier than trying to get sponsored.

.NET is great because you use a FOSS library and then a month later the developer changes the licence and forces you to either pay a subscription for future upgrades or swap it out.

Surely it's less of an advantage in rich countries because naturally less theft occurs?

Comes to about 2MB for me, which seems to be because they've added the EU cookie policy compliance bloat (probably from a third-party). Once that's agreed to via cookies the page is 47KB.

Bit unfair, turned off my adblocker and ran NY Times website with cache disabled via Dev Tools, came to 3MB. Still pretty damn high but not 49MB. (Will say I'm in the UK so might be different across the pond).

The workstation paragraph seems like a humble brag. Most of us yearn for a set-up like that! Especially with the price of components going up thanks to AI and corporations buying all the hardware to support it.

I think it's really bigger than that. I'm hooked myself scrolling reels, but I go to the pub after work and see retired or 50-70 year old men (barely know how to work a phone) scrolling through them as well. That's when you k

They literally only put them in unaffordable areas. Like the only one I know is in a residential area of Southwalk in London not far from the TATE Modern museum. I don't even live in London. Been in one once for the novelty as they&#x2
