That sums up my experience too, but I have found it good for discussing functions for SQL and Powershell. Sometimes, it’ll throw something into its garbage code and I’ll be like “what does this do?” It’ll explain how it’s supposed to work, I’ll then work out its correct usage and solve my problem. Weirdly, it’s almost MORE helpful than if it just gave me functional code, because I have to learn how to properly use it rather than just copy/paste what it gives me.
Absolutely agree with you, it’s about finding that value curve, where quality scales well with price. Say the cheapest ‘something’ is $10, the $20 one is twice as good, the $40 is maybe 70% better again but the $80 might only be 10% better than that.
As a beginner, I’d go for maybe the $20 option or the $40 if I were confident I’d stick with it. But yeah, it’s a pain when your ability to enjoy or succeed at a hobby is hampered by buying the cheapest option off AliExpress, haha.
It’s not perfect but PiHole will still catch a lot of the ads if you have the know-how to set one up. Tis a relatively cheap and easy solution that has the benefit of being able to block ads network-wide, providing your router lets you set a custom DNS.
Holy fuck, I have no idea what they were on before but 31% is monumental! Good for them :)
These orbs won’t ponder themselves and there’s nothing sadder than an un-pondered orb
The alt text is the real winner here. “It is a whimsical rainbow tampon she is extracting from herself.” Is one of the finest combinations of words I’ve ever witnessed.
Show me the champion of liiiiiiiiiight!
Seconded, Puppy is super lightweight and easy to get on with, definitely worth a try.
Well, well, well, if it isn’t fat, Armenian Corey “Spazkid” Delaminguez….
“Hey Corey, Sonic the hedgehog here!”
Yeah, but when they DO have their own shit going on, they know they can share it with you to halve their own sorrow. It’s a two-way street, amigo :)
Ah yes, chemical X, the perfect combination of lead, Teflon and microplastics 💪
r/Titanfall would beg to disagree! Game was sick 6 years ago (7 actually) and is sick now (when the servers work)
Same, recently got my 20 year Steam badge. I can feel my body aging around me.
I’ll have you know that I wrote a semi-functional webpage in HTML when I was in college 😎
Personally, I always loved the classic, side-on Mario games and thought the new features of this looked fun, but the best feature was the fact Nabbit and Yoshi don’t take damage. My 4 year old is autistic and wants to play video games with me but struggles. This allowed us to get through the levels together and he was so happy _ btw, they still die from falling, it still took a LOT of lives, haha.
I don’t know how many others bought it to play with their younger kids but it worked for me!
Bah, that’s nothing compared to “driving along and then waiting ages behind a parked car to let an oncoming car through, then they don’t wave to thank you”.
