They did contribute towards usb c. And lightning came out years before c did. They had promised to only switch connectors once a decade because people got so mad about the switch from the thirty pin to the lightning.

Sorry, I didn't mean to indicate that it's available in the level, but you can definitely turn it off from the pause menu in the overworld, you don't need to run around to find the tower. I don't remember if you can do it in the level.

and yeah, multiplayer is frustrating. I still have never seen as good of a system as the lego games in any local multiplayer game.

Hm. I'm not sure. my air I think only has 16gb, but I'm able to run Lightroom, Photoshop, IntelliJ, and Insta360's whatever it's called all at the same time. The biggest downside with the airs is that they have no fans so they get hot rather than allowing full use. If I was using it for clients I would definitely go with a Pro. I'm mostly using it for personal use. My work laptop is an M1 Max with 32GB and it just chugs through anything I throw at it, but that's like... $4.5k lol. Not sure I would suggest that. But like, 16gb on a Pro is probably what I would go with if I was going to upgrade my air and needed something beefier. I have 1tb on my pro and I immediately maxed out the storage cause I shoot in raw. I do wish I had gotten 2TB of storage, but it's so expensive. It's honestly the worst balancing act, but macOS is sooooo much better for adobe software (and programming) that it just really isn't worth it for a windows or linux computer with higher specs.

sooo. I'd recommend a Pro, with at least 16gb of ram. That will probably cover all your needs. You might be juggling stuff with your usb drives, but that's kinda a fact of life with lots of assets anyway, so I'm not sure that's a pro or con over other laptops. Get enough that you can hold at least like 3 clients at once on your drive.

I have these two usb m.2 cases:

I actually like the second more. The first is really cool and has an extra output/input for power and 5second power loss capacitor backup and stuff, but it's wayyy bigger and I just don't need that when I already carry too much camera stuff. It's also way cheaper lol, leaving you more money to buy bigger drives.

It's worth learning it just to understand how large complex DI frameworks work in general, allowing you to understand way more, like Quarkus, Micronaut, etc. even extending outside of Java/Kotlin.

I don’t get what this solves…

[-] snowe@programming.dev 10 points 11 months ago

I’m kinda with the other person…go with an Apple, even a cheap air will work better than any windows option (my m2 air literally works better with adobe stuff than my custom built gaming pc with a 3080 in it). Yeah the storage thing sucks, but you should be using a NAS for your data storage anyway, and if you do really need it for things like travel, you can always get an m.2 nvme USB stick and put literally whatever size m.2 in it you want. But yeah, the storage situation sucks in Apple land.

You can turn online off from the pause screen, no need to run anywhere. But yeah multiplayer works a bit better in local than what you described. Haven’t bothered with online multiplayer at all.

I use ikea rechargeable batteries for my Xbox controller and Panasonic or Samsung 18650 batteries for my flashlights. Most stuff I use rechargeables for, but when you’re camping you often want backups that aren’t rechargeable.

DataGrip. best database tool on the planet. JetBrains really does make the best stuff.

doesn't really need to be brand specific... We just don't go for the generic versions of any of these items. Like energizer or duracell, doesn't matter, but cheap ones included with a remote absolutely not. same for tampons. the generic versions all use cardboard, not plastic, so they're painful. toilet paper and paper towels, once again, the generic versions are all bad, none of the name brand ones are bad.
