It depends. If I'm doing something fitness related I put on a fitness band with smart watch features (I don't let it alert me). If I'm dressing well I put on a watch and a tasteful men's bracelet. If I'm dressed like a sack of crap and having lazy time (like right now) I'm not wearing either.

I can give them to my kids one day (when I'll learn how to make them).

Are you trying to learn to make kids or watches?

I was hoping to click on that and just see a picture of someone's grandma.

With Framework, you're also paying to be able to upgrade. I like the idea of getting a new GPU and just popping it in.

We have magic stones inscribed with precise runes powered by captured lightning displaying this information across the world.

I can agree with you and still be in awe. It makes my user experience more awesome.

Not with that attitude!

You're right, once. But adding that one time means I never have to see the launcher again. Clicking no means extra launch time and looking at it every time I launch the game.

But different strokes for different folks. If it's not worth it to you then that's cool. It was worth it for me and I thought I'd drop that for anyone else who may want it.

I was going to ask where the ad was, but I forgot that I turned off the launcher specifically because of that. I have no idea about PS but you can add the following on PC to skip the lau8

--skip-launcher

Yep. I've got company access to GitHub Copilot, a personal subscription to ChatGPT, and I use Bing Copilot.

Bing and ChatGPT have a lot of utility overlap. Those things don't do my job for me but they do generate initial ideas and double check my code. I also use GPT as my rubber duck that kind of talks back. I literally tell it to be a rubber duck and pretend to know nothing, then chat with it. It's pretty great for that. Better than the bear that sits on my desk, but not as fun to look at.

Those are the newest tools in my arsenal of "Make computers do my job and rake in the paycheck".

I've made it two decades in IT and related fields by searching for answers using Google. I accidentally took my laziness, love of automation, and ability to Google and became an SRE. Then I accidentally became a senior software engineer because the director on that side of the house liked my initiative and was sure my skills would translate. I protested but got a substantial bump to do it.

I'm failing upwards by abusing stack overflow and search engines.

That has been my favorite hacker lore story since I first heard it decades ago.
