If you live somewhere rural…birdwatching.

Combination is the best way.

Want to reheat a pizza slice? Microwave for half a minute/minute then in the air fryer to crisp it up. Ends up better than the first time around many times imo and done in seconds if you heat the air fryer up to 200°c first

EU commission, really. That’s the only way

Lots of memories of this one too. Mostly on the HTC One for me, I think.

Well, I have a degree in tech. Work in finance. Tech hobbies, programmer second job

So I probably don’t fit. Most of my working life was retail though.

Oh yes the software is the frustrating part for me, far more than any hardware issues. For many of your reasons. I should have clarified. The hardware I fucking love, apart from that goddamn crack in the middle of the air vents :(

But despite the issues I still love the thing, and it is absolutely the best Game Boy Advance I’ve ever owned too which helps

I do love my Deck and use it all the time. It is also the most frustrating piece of kit I’ve owned in a long while.

I’ve always been concerned about the build quality too. Mine is well looked after, only 7 months since new, and I keep it in the case when not used. I noticed literally yesterday theres a crack in the upper front portion of the deck housing, directly middle above the LCD. How?!

Yep, already done. I can do no more.

I don’t own a car and walk or bike everywhere I need to. I buy clothes and things I need second hand and support local shops when it comes to food and drink. I live in a small apartment/flat and recycle everything I can.

I don’t even care about the state of the world anymore. I’ve given up - the world is fucked. Can’t do anything about it, and I’m doing everything I can - so I’ll just carry on and live my life. Yeah, people will be fucked down the line, but what am I supposed to do more than what I’m already doing?

But enough talk!!! Have at you!

Not entirely software, but the MiSTer FPGA project. Having accurate zero-lag hardware accurate versions of almost every console, many arcade games, PCs (Amiga, Commodore etc), and handheld up to and including the PlayStation in a box the size of a game boy is unreal.

Majority of the project is open source, and has been used for ports to the analogue pocket handheld, which I also have and use often

“The name’s Bond, James Bond”. Because of that quote, I have never failed to remember James Bond’s name.

Nope, it’s completely locked down by IT policy restrictions unfortunately.

I can use portable installs but last time I got found out I got a right bollocking!!

Financial org, so everything is very black and white when it comes to IT and security policy, although I did argue my way into having Notepad++

Forced to with work.

I utterly hate it. I don’t have it on my personal setup or android mobile - been using Firefox for twenty years now, not gonna stop!

What? That’s pretty insulting, really - your statement could be applied to any age. Generalisation isn’t cool.

How many 70 year olds do you know? Because the ones I know are either still in work or fully active. Retirement age here in the UK is 67, are you saying those in full time work should be treated like children? My mum and dad are in that age group and Dad’s set up his own Plex server for christ’s sake.

The people I know who have the worst issues with social media and shit like that are half the age, and the less said about my daughter’s age group and their tiktok addiction the better.
