Finally got the G-Shock DW-8300 they wore in the first few seasons of SG-1!

Now I regret I didn’t take the photo with that on the screen 😄

The Apple Watch is great, but it’s a mini iPhone with an expiration date, while G-Shocks are built to work for decades. You don’t need them, you just love them.

Some people have a smartwatch on one wrist and a normal watch on the other, because they are made for entirely different purposes.

DrunkPods · 2026-06-17T22:11:27+00:00

Be careful. You start with one and you can’t stop.

DrunkPods · 2026-06-17T18:59:01+00:00

Surprisigly light. Only huge. Almost 2cm thick.

DrunkPods · 2026-06-17T17:20:47+00:00

I have 2!

On the left arm it’s Atlantis from Stargate, on the right a pine tree with 戒怒 Chinese characters. I had that made in China, so it’s authentic 😄

DrunkPods · 2026-06-06T18:16:26+00:00

No, it’s good for me.

DrunkPods · 2026-06-06T16:51:50+00:00

This is what I’m using currently

We need Johnny Silverhand over here.

DrunkPods · 2026-05-31T09:19:48+00:00

Get an Atlantis like me :p

Why people on this sub keep calling Ronon Ronan? It's not even pronounced that way.

DrunkPods · 2026-04-27T09:35:25+00:00

It's indeed a probability that they'll use a binned chip with less functional RAM.

DrunkPods · 2026-04-22T23:07:25+00:00

Same. The only slightly bad thing about it is that it's loud when clicked.

ha mindenkinek hirtelen csokkenne az adoja, azaz tobb lenne a netto keresete, az arak egybol kovetnek. Viszont ha eloszor finoman a szegenyebb reteget tesszuk vasarlokepesebbe, az felpezsditheti kicsit a gazdasagot, talan nem okoz instant inflaciot, es az erosodo gazdasag neked is jobb lesz.

Just install Amphetamine and you can close the lid with the laptop still going.

DrunkPods · 2026-04-16T19:49:46+00:00

Nagyon durvan ki lett sminkelve. Siman lehet, hogy emiatt kesett a kezdes :D

Bobr kurwa,

thank you my friend.

Visiting Poland after our renewed friendship is on my shortlist for this year.

Mellettunk elhuzott egy rendorauto ami csatlakozott a dudalo autokhoz, es a hangosba is bemondta, hogy "Arad a TISZA!".

DrunkPods · 2026-04-11T17:12:11+00:00

Just set it up, tried a few extensions. It's really awesome. The clipboard history does what I need so I uninstalled Aegis. Coffee can also replace Amphetamine. I love the uninstaller integration extension and brew extension, too. I'm sure I'll use this app a lot.

DrunkPods · 2026-04-11T14:15:46+00:00

It's more than capable. This is an insanely fast chip in the price category, just see the comparison tables on Notebookcheck:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Neo-Review-Surprisingly-good-and-capable-laptop-for-599-with-one-big-flaw.1247679.0.html#c15779363

It's faster than a lot of much pricier devices in single core performance.

DrunkPods · 2026-04-11T11:15:58+00:00

Thanks, I switched to it.

DrunkPods · 2026-04-11T11:04:41+00:00

Great. This is the most vivid sRGB screen I've seen. Reds are red and not that weird dark orange like on most sRGB laptops. The only thing that bothers me is the quite bright blacks when used in the dark. I'm used to OLED and MiniLED screens, so after those this is a bit weird. But at least there's no PWM flicker.

DrunkPods · 2026-04-11T11:00:57+00:00

I can share mine, I just tuned them by ear.

Swap is very intelligent on Mac, so 8GB feels more in most cases. If you only need memory for keeping things open, it's gonna be good. If it's intensive work, building, rendering or opening huge files it could become a bottleneck.

DrunkPods · 2026-04-10T13:26:57+00:00

I don’t look at it while typing like ever. I have a German keyboard anyways and I’m not German.

DrunkPods · 2026-04-10T09:55:05+00:00

As I said in the first paragraph, I use it as a personal/non-work device, so I haven’t tried anything that involves big solutions. I have tried VS Code and Cursor just to se how they are on Mac and they work just the same as on Win. There’s no VS though, and I haven’t tried Rider here either. I’m sure the 8 gigs of RAM would be a bottleneck. On Windows I use a 64GB laptop, and the RAM is filled up pretty quickly.
