iPad Pro M1. I use it rarely. Anything I can’t do on my phone I use my MacBook or pc. Consuming media is better on my laptop display, and easier to type/navigate. It just doesn’t really serve a purpose.

Take Volkswagen vehicles (VW/Audi, mainly). Nearly every electronic module in the car that you'd want to replace has component protection, making it literally impossible for a non-dealer to replace it since you need access to VAG servers to get the token to code the module for the car VIN. I had this experience recently with a CAN bus controller module that just randomly failed. $3k at the dealer. I would have preferred to do it myself but there is no way.

Yes, I was mistaken. Instead, it seems to be referring to a salary or hourly threshold specifically for overtime exemption.

I could get behind that type of short, clear legalese.

A big thing that concerns me is the absurd levels of tint people are putting on their windows.

I bought a used car last year that came with 20% all around, and I removed it from the front windows almost immediately. It was so insanely hard to see outside at night properly, especially in dim or unlit areas. How do people with less than that see? I guess they don’t.

It doesn't bother me in my case since it's not my main monitor. I have a high refresh rate main monitor, and an ancient 60hz (1680x1050) second monitor. I don't notice it because I'm rarely dragging windows around on the second monitor.

I don't notice it on my phone either. However, I purposely got a high refresh rate laptop because of this concern. I think it depends on two things: The size of the screen, and how often you'll be looking at it.

I sleep with my phone under my pillow. I should probably stop.

I'm a bit younger than you, but I have had a similar realization. I love programming, but sitting around all day at a desk does not seem fun for the next several decades, and really doesn't do my social/mental health much good, despite the amount of money.

So, I'm working to become a pilot instead. It's expensive, time consuming, competitive, and probably won't see six figures for half a decade or more. But, it's a heck of a lot more meaningful than sitting at my desk all day.

Just thought I'd share my situation and solution since it's relatively similar. All the best.

Work used to use Jira. Then switched to Linear. Now they recently moved back to Jira. I'm thinking about leaving.

All of the pixels were already taken by the time I tried, but I did an "error" pixel (11, 26) just for my own pleasure.

Somehow I got RGB(255, 50, 194), which is different from the value posted on the chart. Actually, I'm not sure how originally they got 0, since G comes from R and B, which are both positive, and the expression is multiplication and addition.

I don't have this many windows open constantly, but I can say that I do a lot of C & C++ stuff with VSCode and my M1 MBP 14 has absolutely zero trouble keeping up. In fact, I often think I should have just got the Air. I'm pretty sure the fan doesn't exist (okay, I know it does, but it is seriously quiet: you should never hear it unless running something super intensive).

What ultimately swayed me towards the MBP was the SD port (I do a bit of hobby photography on the side, this is very useful), the HDMI port, and...the display. It's a fantastic display. Ever since going high refresh rate on my desktop PC, I feel like I can't go back. It's an absolutely wonderful experience.

Interesting observation: I deleted my Twitter account, but created one again recently. Turns out, I was better off without it, so I only login a few times a month to see content from a few people I get a lot of value from. All it shows me in the recommended section is right-wing accounts?? The only accounts I look at are pretty darn far from anything political. My guess is that pushing political stuff drives up view numbers? Not completely sure.

I’ll probably delete it for good soon. It was a lot easier to separate myself from the platform than I thought.
