The dream of game graphics was murdered first by crypto and then by LLMs. Is there any hope for a time when the market for high-spec GPUs will actually be games? Or has that ship sailed forever? At least AI has some sort of real world utility I guess, but I still wish neither revolution had happened.

Hmm, not sure what you mean. The consumer cards from AMD and Nvidia are still gaming-first, and games utilize new features like ray-tracing and DSS. Speaking as a lifelong PC gamer and current Twitch addict, the industry still seems very healthy.

getting better at this game requires fundamental lessons that are hard to communicate (like counter-strafing, how important it is to have good aim AND good movement). AKA level 1

and then there's the teamwork aspect (comms, strats, etc...) aka level 2

and then there's the game sense (counter-stratting, countering opponents bad habits) aka level 3

honestly the wall can be less intimidating if you work on your mechanics (level 1), which is the base of all of this

Agree with these points, but at 1.5 I'd insert: intimate knowledge of the maps. "Holding angles" is such a profound advantage, and requires knowing the maps inside-and-out.

Oh man, what a fun era of tech. I had a REX 6000 that I adored.

I was always told re C&P in school: "The crime was to assign it, the punishment was to read it".

Karamazov was much harder for me to read than C&P or The Idiot, and I liked the other two best.

That said, it's well worth it to read the famous passages, they are incredible prose

Super interesting to read everyone's opinions about C&P. I too was force-fed lots of classics in school, and practically always resorted to CliffsNotes. For whatever reason, C&P struck such a chord with me, I "couldn't put it down", won a scholarship writing about it, and got to skip a bunch of Lit classes in college :)

It’s my go to password manager as well but unfortunately they stopped updating it.

The password management was reincorporated into the Firefox app, and you can tell iOS to use Firefox as your password manager. See bottom of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/end-of-support-firefox-...

Check out Firefox if you need a cross-platform browser that syncs passwords, etc. I use Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS, and I've found Firefox to be my best option.

RPis are great hobby electronics projects, but IMO they don’t have any benefit for this kind of use over a thin client?

They’re more expensive, you need an extra RPi enclosure and power supply, you can’t use M.2 SSD sticks without an additional USB3 enclosure, they have a history of corrupting flash cards, and their idle power is only a little bit lower.

I feel ya. My RPi does indeed have a case, with a fan. The backups are offloaded to an external HDD.

I have a Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole and Time Machine, making that little board probably the best value piece of tech I've ever owned. https://saschaeggi.medium.com/use-a-raspberry-pi-4-for-time-... is what I followed.
