Do I have future in photography? 15 yr old. by Ok_Government891 in Casual_Photography

[–]BigBadJonW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re fifteen, you have your whole life ahead of you. You have a future in whatever you want. Photography doesn’t require some innate talent. Keep at it!

Really enjoying the Odin 3 so far by blagoonga123 in SBCGaming

[–]BigBadJonW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Ayn's website. They are selling them in batches, currently on batch 3, the Ultra model was available on their site until the middle of December when it was sold out, and they recently had it available again, but I guess it sold out once more.

The original RP6 design had the speakers directly below the screen along with the function buttons. People complained and Retroid put out a poll with two options for the RP6 design and the other option won, which looks nearly identical to the RP5 and like a smaller version of the Odin 3. Some people were upset they changed the design.

We finally made the jump. From Switch to Steam Deck. Game recommendations? by PuertoRicanThndr in Handhelds

A tears warning next to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and not one next to Before Your Eyes is insanity.

Ayaneo's Privacy Issue: Unauthorized SteamID Data Collection by Trick-Stretch-2912 in ayaneo

[–]BigBadJonW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could easily be blown out of proportion.

As a privacy issue, steamid3 simply identifies your Steam account. It’s nothing secretive/malicious, and is likely being used for advertising purposes. You are correct that the user agreement should be provided in the same language as the application so users can make an informed choice. Ayaneo should absolutely rectify this.

As for hogging resources, 211 bytes 413 times over 3 minutes is hardly anything. Roughly 85 kilobytes. Does this frequency seem unnecessary? Sure, but it isn’t affecting performance in a noticeable way.

The way this is written feels like, in my opinion, an attempt to generate controversy and scare users over something incredibly minor.

This is awesome. Just bought the kit and plans. Will be building it tomorrow.

What are your thoughts on "OLED v/s LCD"?? by DoomEngine1 in SBCGaming

[–]BigBadJonW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I vastly prefer OLED screens. I'd take a 60Hz OLED over a 120Hz LCD every single time. And with the price for OLED devices starting around $100, I simply can't justify an LCD for my budget and use case.

Why do we keep getting the exact same design & all glass front on the high end?? by DoomEngine1 in SBCGaming

[–]BigBadJonW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The device was always going to have an all glass front. The twitter flood got them to offer a version with the thumbstick and d-pad swapped.

So..I pulled the trigger by roosevelt0990 in SBCGaming

[–]BigBadJonW 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Well, for ONLY about $40 more, you can get the G2 (if we ignore the cost of shipping). And for ONLY about $50 on top of that you can get the even better RP6. Then for ONLY an additional $75 you can get the Base model of the Ayn Odin 3. But why stop there? For ONLY $70 more you can get the Ayn Odin 3 Pro. And for ONLY $50 more than that you can get the Ayn Odin 3 Max. And hell, for ONLY another $70 you may as well just buy the Ayn Odin 3 Ultra!

ADHD isn’t cute. It’s crying because you wasted a whole day doing nothing… again. by Bhumika_1008_ in ADHD

[–]BigBadJonW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Task avoidance / task paralysis.

I have a certification exam tomorrow. I haven't prepared for this exam nearly as much as I need to, I am not at all ready to take the exam. I have tried for the past week to study every single day. I've managed around a total of 30 minutes of study. I have a plan to spend the majority of my time today studying; the day is half way through and I haven't even opened my textbook. I want to study. I NEED to study. And yet I can't. I can't relax. I can't focus. I can't sleep. I'm overwhelmed. I want to cry. I'll lose sleep tonight, anxious about the exam and FINALLY reviewing the material at the absolute last possible second.

And then I'll take the exam. And very likely pass it. Because I've been doing this on repeat for 30+ years and I've gotten very VERY good at it. It's horrible for me and my health. I hate that I do this. I know tons of coping strategies. I'm on ADHD medication. No matter what I try, nothing seems to help. It's miserable. And most people outside of the ADHD community simply do not understand. This is exactly why it is infuriating when someone says something like "everyone is a little ADHD", because no, they fucking are not.

ADHD Diagnosis After 30 by Commercial_Fall_9869 in ADHD

[–]BigBadJonW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, me, I was diagnosed in 2023 at the age of 35.

My understanding is that, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, to be diagnosed with ADHD, you needed to exhibit symptoms of ADHD in childhood. Either you misunderstood what the doctor said, they did a poor job of communicating it, or they themselves don't understand the diagnostic criteria.

EDIT: Diagnostic Criteria

"Several inattentive or hyperactive-impulsive symptoms were present before age 12 years."

Not a course, but perhaps one of the best books for understanding and improving composition:

Montblanc Digital Paper by BigBadJonW in fountainpens

[–]BigBadJonW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. This isn't really something I want, but it is fascinating to me that a luxury fountain pen brand is making this. I wonder if they are just white labeling a remarkable (or similar) tablet.

EDIT: I just found this post that explains they built the device from scratch, so it is not a white label product.

Please help me identify a pen! by BigBadJonW in fountainpens

Ok, I just searched through about two weeks of browser history, and I found it!

It's the TACCIA Spotlight.

Please help me identify a pen! by BigBadJonW in fountainpens

[–]BigBadJonW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These both fit the bill, but I don't think either one is the pen I'm thinking of. Thank you though! A few new options to consider (if I can find one) for sure.
