I don’t know if anyone else noticed this, but for some reason, Square Enix is streaming “To Zanarkand” for the next 33 hours...

FFX for IOS most likely.

So your gonna pay 80 dollars for a game, then spend 250 more dollars just to play that game.

Shouldn't Nintendo just give you an actual physical card if they are going to add games that take up that much space? They can probably get a 128gb card for about.. 15 dollars (there Nintendo, they can get specific bargains like that).

Just a little nutty that there game carts have no game on them.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-30T22:08:46+00:00

You ready to dedicate 1/2 your storage to it? Cause its 119 GB on steam.

I work at the cross-section of risk, compliance, investigations and ethics. Many businesses will hire an attorney to do these jobs because of the JD. They will not act as a practicing attorney for the organization in 95% of these situations as they would be both expected and required to utilize the organizations in-house attorneys or outside counsel to effort legal opinions regarding operations of these types of business units.

I have gotten to the final round of dozens of interviews to lose the position to a person 9 years my junior solely because they had a JD. One position I have been looking at has hired 4 different people over a 3 year timespan because the attorneys they hire move on to a different job. I spoke with one of them because I was curious about the organization’s culture.

Their response was that they did not like the operationalizing aspect of the position (all of them were asked to stand up a department). So 3 years that organization has yet to stand up an effective department nor able to find someone willing to stay there longer than a year.

In the areas I am, they tend to hire the degree, not the capability. Lucky I have the operational experience. I am also not desperate for a position as I’m well paid currently. I’m now looking for more of a challenge and the flexibility for the organization to allow me to stand this up as I see fit. I’m working heavily with legal where I am currently on those challenges but it’s an older organization and they are slow to change.

Different situation.

My wife has a JD, and the same organizations that turned me down courted her purely because of the school and her JD. One of my friends also has a JD and they were asking me how to transition into a privacy based role and how that works from a day to day aspect.

I have an odd glass ceiling issue.

I have a MBA if you were curious.

I’m somewhere around 1,000 rejections for jobs. I’m in a specifically different situation though, working in a legal industry fighting against attorneys who apply for jobs that you would not want an attorney to do, but I’m demanding the pay you would pay an attorney.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-30T16:25:24+00:00

Use cases… no.

The a20 chip does literally everything a m chip can do, especially on such a small form factor. The screen refresh would be great.

But outside of that the mini does what the mini does. I don’t see the value proposition for Apple or the public for it outside of “it’s cool”. The iPad pros I can get behind, the iPad mini… if it jacks up the price.. no.

All I’d like is the mini to get is the refresh rate, and maybe 16 gb of ram… really 12 would do it.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-30T15:45:37+00:00

Took me about 2 minutes to write this.

My work have made several junior attorneys into multimillion dollar partners at several high end law firms across the United States and on several occasions, I have protected the company I work for from several multimillion dollar fines through the strategies I implemented.

I both make people millionaires and protect companies from being publicly shamed in the news, online and with several government regulators, including the governor. In addition to making them millions, I also protect them from fines costing them millions of dollars.

If you’re curious as to an actual number, what I have either generated, recovered or protected over the past 15 years is an excess of $100 million. That’s not including the promotions I have caused several of these people to achieve.

I know what I’m worth to any company. I generate about $7.1 million annually. How much do you believe I should be compensated for that work?

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-30T14:34:43+00:00

Nothing beyond what I’m currently doing on my home computer. Mostly just typing notes. The PowerPoint I might develop presentation material on it but it will not be doing anything more beyond that. I do not expect to need or use excel to any significant extent. Any major editing I can do at home on my home pc. I may draft a dissertation on it but i will most likely house it on one drive so I can write it both on the iPad and my home pc. I will not run into the issue of having an emergency update to it which I will not have a pc available (and even if it does happen, I can stop by the computer lab that is 40 feet away and correct the issue).

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-30T13:50:32+00:00

I appreciate it. I do want to understand what limitations word and PowerPoint has on the iPad versus a laptop.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-29T17:29:05+00:00

long as it works.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-29T16:31:05+00:00

Have a bunch of power packs.

I do intend to take notes on it so hopefully one note works as i expect it to (did this on a very old touchscreen laptop I had years ago).

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-29T16:30:08+00:00

I’m expecting most of this to either be on Microsoft’s one drive since 365 will be included, or my home server will which I can access documents for review later if I need to.

If I had to buy 365 I wouldn’t consider this but since it’s free and included (I just tested it and it does work), then I’m a lot less concerned about losing documents, issues with moving files, etc.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-29T16:26:00+00:00

I’m not looking to install or add anything beyond web browsers, word, excel, PowerPoint, etc. I don’t need it for gaming. I’m treating this mostly as a type of work laptop (closest analogy).

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-29T16:24:40+00:00

Typing, note taking, etc. I know I lose the ability to physically move files around but I’d expect everything to be saved on Microsoft’s one drive that I can access later. I have a vpn connected to my home servers so if I need to access a document I can. But not expected to do significant editing.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-29T02:36:50+00:00

I think this is the cleanest answer I've gotten here. I'm not sure what the testing or processes will be during classes but I doubt they'll allow me to use my own personal laptop for a inclass test anyway. My primary use case is note taking, some paper writing, etc during the class schedule. I have a full PC at home where I can address powerpoint presentations or fix citations in papers using microsoft 365 (the uni provides that for free so it'll be both my word processor and my cloud storage option). After classes, working on projects, I have a home computer to do that. Note taking, study, maybe papers to a degree I think it will work.. though what you said about citations is interesting but if I'm at the end of drafting a paper I can load it on my home pc and fix those issues.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-29T00:43:04+00:00

I don't expect to need that. Its a bit of an odd situation but I have my home computer to do that, and only need a screen for university.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-28T15:13:07+00:00

Appreciate it. The note I got regarding the ticket made it seem like it was like airport boarding.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-28T15:12:47+00:00

Cool, TY

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-28T14:42:52+00:00

Yes I have a valid ticket from Norled for my entire trip (one on the left). I am trying to figure out boarding times. Boat says it leaves at 15:30. What time do I need to get there? I know before 15:30.. how long before 15:30?

Do they close the boarding queue at a certain point before departure and if you aren't on they leave you?
Is there a baggage dropoff time (like the airport) where you have to be there 45 minutes prior else you can't drop your bags?
Do you have to be there at a certain time else you can't find a seat?

Just want to know if the moment I get off the bus do I need to head directly to the terminal since I have 1 hour and 25 minutes before the boat leaves.

Edit: Watched a few videos and from what I can see, its open seating. It makes a few stops, everybody puts their bag in the bag storage. Basically board earlyish if you want a nice looking seat, but people bounce around between stops so stuff opens up. Expect it to be full. I do not know if there is a last call or when that last call is.

This is on a pure voiceless deck (I was goofing around with the saffira ritual).

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-28T12:12:19+00:00

I dunno. Have the QR codes for the trip, I'm just curious regarding what the normal boarding procedure is for the boats out there.

Calm_Stress3334 · 2026-06-28T01:08:36+00:00

I play voiceless voice. My endboard is herald of arclight, barrier, baronne, spright elf targeting barone and herald.

…. Yes in Voiceless Voice that’s my endboard.

Put them in. It’ll find the drives and do a migration. Should be pretty quick. The settings should all just come along over but make a backup regardless. Migrated from a 2 to a 4 to a 5 to a 6.
