I updated my bios yesterday and my PC bricked unfortunately. Quite bummed this happened.

Gotta be my Synology NAS. Although the hardware isn't free. The software is open source.

I moved always from every cloud storage provider to my own private cloud instead! Could not be happier!

My wife loves it too!

Edit: Sorry! Looks like some parts of the Nas is open. Not DSM itself.

I agree. I am subscriber of theirs. They provide immense value, for free.

I don’t use any social media. I give my phone number to family members. They can call/text if they want to reach me.

I’m sort of the same as you.

I took a 6 bootcamp, got a job straight away after as a full stack junior web developer.

Programming as a job was the single worst decision I make. I was working with languages and frameworks I don’t enjoy, I was building a product I don’t care about in the slightest.

It took me 1 year of full time web dev before I quit and went back to regular IT which isn’t the most fun thing, but it works for me. I’ve been doing it for over a decade so I can do it in my sleep, it’s easy money tbh. Programming for me is definitely more of a hobby than a job. Having it as a job really killed my love for it

Nowadays I only code in Python which I LOVE. I use my programming skills to automate work tasks, and I make small scripts here and there and it’s so much fun.

Solving small problems with scripts is just what I enjoy doing. I get to work on a project for a day or two. I can complete it fast then move on to something else.

Now I’m about transitioning into Data Engineering instead of Software Development.

People tend to dislike google because they collect a ton of data on you and you can't ever be sure they aren't selling it to other companies.

Never forget the YouTube rewind video they produced themselves which beacme the most disliked video ever! Lol

Sounds like we have the same wife! High five

I love supporting good games and awesome studios. What I don't like it getting screwed because screenshots and trailers look cool and they game turn out to be shit and still cost me $50.

I don't trust the refund policy. If they have a so called refund policy why not force every published to add a 1-2 hour free trial instead? We should be able to try games and evaluate before the money leaves our pockets.

I'm using Eternity but every single client I've tested lack mod tools so most of them are a no no for me.

Definitely. Although some are expensive for no reason so it’s important that you do your research and buy a mattress that is of high quality.
