My electric bill is already 2x+ that of the neighboring city due to data centers having an understanding with the for profit electric company that serves us. No thank you.

Then you'd also need to remove already successful "evergreen" titles in that case, which might land you back into the same. Not a lot of money for new games.

Hyundai's and kias are known for costing more in labor and parts to repair (while taking a chance it might not work out) than a comparable car in working order.

For regular people the 256GB starting SSD size is the biggest impendent. They won't be running adobe Photoshop, final cut, containers, etc, but they will all have a set of pictures they import from device to device. Clearly they are pushing people to the cloud backup option which they will forget and keep on their card for years to come.

Just earlier in the year I had someone ask why videos took more storage than pictures when I recommended they delete videos they didn't need/want to clear a lot of storage (mentioned videos are pictures stitched together to keep it simple, and live photos are a small burst of photos). The average consumer is not extrely knowledgeable and companies try to take advantage of that.

They had a bunch of unfocused fireworks/random events they will never watch again but are afraid to delete for each family/pet/friends video they would actually want forever.

Right, "more powerful" or "less powerful" are completely meaningless without context. E.g.: hollow knight has some serious bugs on the controller input (for some popular controllers like 8bit do ones) on the Linux version due to some outdated version of a library they use on some input modes. Silksong doesn't even register the inputs for that same setup. Both work perfectly on proton with the same hardware. Drivers and software play a more important role in playability than raw specs and benchmarks.

You are more optimistic than the maintainers of those older projects that have started to ban LLM generated bug reports. They tend to be a waste of time for the maintainers (e.g.: cURL project).

I found a git repo with docker compose and the config files works well enough as long as you are willing to maintain a backup of the volumes and an .env file on KeePass (also backed up) for anything that might not be OK on a repo (even if private) like passwords and keys.

It means you are invited to the most pointless stuff because someone from the team needs to attend and you have more experience on how the different teams interact (ideally, some people are there for the potential higher salary most companies structure management under).

Nothing of note happens 75% of the time (maybe being generous there). You just don't want it to come to your team last minute about 2 weeks from release with high priority because it was "already discussed and agreed to" on some obscure 2 hour inter project planning session (recurring very boring biweekly meeting).

I had more power to affect things as a senior developer than a team lead on a previous company since I could actually make technical decisions and my boss (great person) trusted me since I spent most of my time trying to learn things (since I had the time to do so without the meetings).

I won't tell you it could not work since you are allowed to make some calls based on your experience and intuition, which is nice and rewarding, but have realistic expectations to avoid being let down.

Or just not use racist coloring with no context.

Biker mice from mars mixed with TMNT vibes!

Librewolf by default clears cookies on close, which is kind of annoying for anything with a 2fa login. It can be changed on the settings, but you have to know that's an option and the root of the behavior, which most regular people won't.

Read about that boot issue and how it starts as a "full storage" message. Also how it was outside the warranty period for most cases, so you end up with a literal brick. I'd be pissed if my TV died just a few years in.
