Horizon Zero Dawn is my all time favorite game (a remastered version is coming out next week so might be a great time to jump in). Celeste is a 2D platformer and also really great. Been having fun with Zelda ToTK and Astrobot as well.
Yeah I totally agree, I hate that they keep adding new stuff instead of focussing on their core business. It's especially annoying as the Android Protonmail app and the regular web mail client are really bare bones and have several long standing issues. Honestly if I had set it up with my own domain instead of the @pm.me (which admittedly is a nice suffix) I probably wouldn't be a paying customer anymore.
Exactly, it's why I don't buy Logitech anymore!
I feel this is missing a couple of !important statements :)
Jealous of the amount of free time you have available ;-) good luck!
There is NickelMenu and you can telnet into it. You can also install other OS like KOReader easily, it doesn't have a locked bootloader or anything like that. So imho that's pretty accessible and open.
I would recommend getting a Google Takeout export every year or so. Even before it falls off a cliff it's a good idea to have your own backups. Accounts can get blocked, hacked, etc.
Those are definitely all valid points, though I feel a bit of UI work making it abundantly clear that it's not encrypted in case of SMS and an option perhaps to fully disable SMS in settings if you really don't want it would have helped further adoption. I feel like they are optimizing for a rather small subset of users and thereby hurting the rest.
As it's kind of implied at this point I thought I'd leave it out for once ;-)
But yes I do use Arch, btw.
I'm getting more and more convinced that this is not a game for me. The way you interact with the laptop shown in this update feels super lame to me for a VR game. Compared to bomb defusal in Pavlov this is a huge step back. Combined with their stance on manual reloads and the inclusion of in game currency and grinding for weapon upgrades this is probably a pass for me until it gets a huge discount.
A fun experiment I did recently was to measure the speed of sound with my oscilloscope. I wired up a speaker and a microphone at a known distance from each other, connected the oscilloscope to both sides and measured how long it took between sound trigger & reception. I came within several meters/second accuracy which I think is a nice result for a basic home lab setup.
I also track a lot of metrics around the house using Home Assistant. Temperature, humidity, power usage, light levels, heating, but also stuff like total meters of filament used, total objects printed, system metrics. I like statistics and it's fun to compare months/years and clearly see the results of improved isolation for example.
