I haven’t really seen any “real work” being done which I realize is confirmation bias.

I see people talking about how much more productive they are with AI tools but I assume they are using it for actual work so they can’t exactly blog freely about it.

I definitely exist in an anti-AI bubble which I’m trying to break out of.

But nearly every “thought leader” I get exposed to usually is just posting some variation of “I was lazy so I used AI to create a todo app” or “I ported an open source library to XYZ language”.

Unfortunately the matchmaking has continued to decline to the point where ARC Raiders has tipped over to the “not fun” side.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone in its current state.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I’ve always wanted to play those games but heard I should start from the beginning which was an easy excuse to procrastinate.

Have you played the previous games in the franchise?

A similar quote from Doom Eternal is also very apt

Also, the number of companies that don’t notify / require access to your existing email is kinda scary.

Just having access to a password shouldn’t allow me to change the email of an account. Either validate using the existing email or require a security question or 2FA.

Never heard of it but then again I was only looking at the default search options in Safari. I’ll give a try and see how it goes.

My understanding is it only does local. I access through Home Assistant and it has worked 10X better than my AirGradient and seems to have more accurate data.
