I’m a huge fan of DiOro at least for silicone utensils. I believe their silicone spatula was the ATK recommendation a few times and I’ve bought a bunch more since then.

What I usually tell people is “set a budget”. You can always fall in to the trap of $20 more here, $40 more there…etc and explode your budget.

If you can keep moving the needle, you can keep dumping more into better components in different areas.

Use PCPartPicker to make sure everything is compatible, check the price history to see if there’s a similar component available for cheaper or if you’re getting a good value, and make decisions on what is necessary. Also, pick a date. You can hang around for MONTHS waiting on a certain part to hit a price drop.

I’ve used the paid versions of My OldBoy!, My Boy!, and Drastic for years for GBC/GBA/DS emulation and been very happy with them. Citra for 3DS struggles on my Pixel 6 but is great on my PC

I was typing up a long reply basically saying this, but you summed it up. In most cases, it’s pure nonsense. Unless you’re actively sharing legitimate trade secrets that you were especially privy to, which could reasonably tank the company’s position or competitive advantage based on your actions, it’s trash talk. Change roles to your biggest competitor and tell your CEO/president to eat a side of juicy cockroaches alongside their breakfast of profits while your new employer values your particularly meaningful “suggestions”.

I’m not MAD, I’m just disappointed. And glad I stayed on other apps for podcasts this whole time. Counting the days until they kill YouTube Music for yet another new app that does mostly the same thing but shittier for a couple years until they rinse and repeat the cycle.

How exciting! I grabbed the the first game knowing nothing about it during a major sale years ago and it re-ignited a love for puzzle games I hadn’t experienced since the original Portal. Definitely picking this up!

Hi shitty sexist choice, it’s me, “consequences”

It’s unfortunately a valid “defeatist” point that I hate finding myself falling back into over and over on so many issues. It shouldn’t be so hard to say ‘yo can you stop taking advantage of me for personal financial gain in every possible scenario’?

Unless it’s for a position where that’s the standard, e.g. certain investigative journalism roles, I’d call it a red flag and have the scam sirens blaring. Although as a cybersec professional I’d be VERY curious to see where it goes and what their deal is. I’d MAYBE expect some security roles to request E2E encrypted email comms at a certain point in the hiring process depending on the project, there shouldn’t be anything discussed pre-onboarding that necessitates using Signal.
