  • My recommendation was more of a "quick turn around to solve a problem" solution. I would hope they would've already reached out to Core designs, and Core Designs appear to be responsive to issues, even out of the warranty period. However Amazon can have a new charger at your door step in days if you wanted to do basic trouble shooting.

  • My watch face, eyeing it carefully for bugs. Paranoid I forgot something 🤣 (loving it though and happy I can get a Aqua color like in platinum)

    The Time 2, loving it. Had the original time and it feels like it but smoother and faster. Time has moved on and I hope Pebble will make a more expensive one which has GPS for actual fitness tracking. But as a smartwatch, it’s crazy that no one else has made a superior product.

    The Framework 13, best laptop I've ever gotten. Now I got it at a time when RAM and storage was cheap, so it was a lot cheaper than it is today. But even the base AMD machine is a beast when it comes to development and gaming. Not as good as a steam deck, but I don't think I have a need to upgrade for a long time.

  • I could write the watch face app in a day, their tutorials were clear enough for that. But holes started appearing for things like, how to utilize 1 or 2bit Palettes. How to implement a sprite sheet and select a character, and the formats which are being returned from Clay when you update the settings.

    There are no guides, just example projects, which I could use and learn from. But man the LLM made it easier. Even when it was wrong, it gave me enough that I could go to the docs and say, oh that’s what that meant.

  • I honestly don't see any issues with using Windows, especially if it works for your use case. Though I would advise you to take a closer look at the terminal in the screenshot.

  • Compared to my previous watches.

    Pebble Time: It's a significant improvement, but that was to be expected considering it's 10 years old. I love the larger display and the slimmer bezels are nice. The build is excellent, and I appear to not have gotten a defective unit, so it's solid. I put a 3D Printed Bezel on it for the glass, mostly since I wanted to add more color, and partially due to the hoopla about the cracked displays a small number of users are reporting. Currently I've only charged my watch once since it arrived to top it off, and I am only at 34% at 19 days in. It looks like I might get close to the promised 30 day battery life. But we'll see.

    Garmin Fenix 6: I prefer to use my Garmin as my exercise tracker, especially with the GPS built it. The Pebble's battery life is equal since they both have transflective screens. But where the Pebble wins out is being a better watch. Day to day, it has better app support for watch features, like timers, and stop watches. Notifications read better on the Pebble, and on Android more options to respond to messages. I'm still going to use my garmin for bikes and other fitness stuff. But my Pebble Time 2 has outright replaced it at this point.

    With that said, I find it hard to recommend a Pebble, if the idea of a Pebble hasn't already sold you. If you are looking for a fitness tracker you will be much better severed with a Garmin. But the tinkerability of Pebble, it's long life time (my original time did last 10 years), and the fact the entire eco system of Pebble, from the App to the website is now open source, I would recommend it, if this sounds nice to you.

  • Are you gonna be buying a Steam machine?

  • Most consoles made since 2005 can wake from sleep on by turning on a controller.

    But PCs cannot since it wasn’t a feature added to them.

    However a PC can play older games, not just going back 20 years, but with emulation can play games as far back as games from the 70s.

    A PS4/5 can’t do that since unless the developer needs to add support for it, or made a rerelease with their older games. So your PS4 isn’t play Super Mario Sunshine or even Brothers. Let alone the thousands of games which are classified as abandonware.

    Which is what makes the steam deck alluring even at its inflated price point.

  • Are you gonna be buying a Steam machine?

    Jump

  • Your PS4 can’t play PS3 games, the Steam Machine can, nor can it play N64 and GameCube titles.

    Homebrew can eventually fix the later, but the ps4 doesn’t have enough power for the former.

  • Would I like it to be cheaper. Of course. Are gaming consoles cheaper of course.

    But I cant name 1 system or PC, which can waken when a Bluetooth Controller connects to it, and can play every game I own from the last 15 years, and every console game from the last 25 years.

    Even Nintendo nickels and dimes you for this privilege, and with a one time purchase I can just remove my consoles and just use a Steam Machine, sign me up.

    Not even PlayStation 5 can do what the steam machine does out of the box.

  • Why they always do this?

  • That’s not right.

    They are yelling at women that they aren’t good enough… unless they are waring their product. Oh if you use that other product you are just as ugly as you feel inside.
