Absolutely nightmarish.

My mum's an academic so she's been using computers all her life, she's not exactly "techy" but I am eternally grateful I was able to get her set up with bitwarden as a password manager.

I know on my Samsung at the top of the apps list in settings there's a "choose default apps" option, but I'm unsure if that's one of their changes or not. I'm pretty sure the functionality is in base Android.

I also used to hit the component bottle neck until pretty recently. Unless you want to figure it out yourself:

spoilerWhat you want to do is try to get the long range mineral scanner and drop pods quickly, scan for components, and then drop pod in your miners with some supplies, maybe an animal to carry stuff, mine out the resource node and then travel back home with the goodies.

I went from struggling to get components outside of traders to having full teams in power armour pretty much instantly. Now my problem is that I accumulate wealth too fast and end up fighting off huge raids.

Yeah, but mod devs are people with lives doing this for free, so I'm not going to fault any of them for inevitably not being able to update stuff in time.

At least they're adding native search and vein mining functions so those QoL features are taken care of!

Fuck.

I just got all my mods in order again after not having played in a long while.

Now this is on the horizon.

There should be a word for this intense mix of excitement and dread I feel over this. Can't wait to have to do it again.

Though not every fail state is going to show up. If you start seeing weird intermittent behaviour from a drive, for goodness sake find a way to back it up immediately.

My mum's new nuc started having some issues, SMART showed perfect drive health. After trying a few things to diagnose, I rebooted to run memtest and check for bad ram, and that was the last time it ever booted into windows. Controller or something on the nvme ssd died. Far too expensive to try and repair for data recovery. Thankfully had a... Somewhat recent backup. Not as recent as we would have liked.

Swipe typing used to be so good for me, but now I have to correct every third word, it feels like. And it keeps correcting to just the most random ass words. Why the hell would it correct "probably" to "pusillanimous"? I've tried multiple modern keyboards and they're all like this, I should download an old apk...

Hot damn, I thought it looked like a bunch of middle aged people doing enthusiastic but slightly off cosplay, but that's way more accurate.

Yeah, I'm lucky enough that mine is only really debilitating for study so I didn't have an issue not taking my meds for the trip. Really feel for you. :(

Too much box! Not enough X.

Finally, it'll be shaped like an X!

Ever since I was a child, I've loved stale rice crackers. Specifically, the stage of staleness where they're no longer super crunchy and have started going slightly rubbery (if they go past that, it's no longer good). Something about the texture/mouthfeel is great to me. I used to leave my rice crackers to age before eating them. I don't do it as much anymore because I still like them well enough crunchy and I don't have the patience for it.

Other than that, I do enjoy putting a salted cracker in a sweet sandwich (jam, nutella, lemon curd, etc) to add some nice crunch. Works just as well with savoury sandwiches, but I think that's less weird.
