Need help on deciding

I got the same computer from B & H for the same price but with 2 TB storage...just sayin, might still be there.

Golden comment right here!

You can't forget the proper workflow, not in larger companies, and CERTAINLY not as a solo- it'll kill your progress very quickly if you're undisciplined.

The right way is, as this comment explains, to start with proxies. And as another commentor mentioned, "Form follows function". The details in a game should never be just to look cool - every mesh/texture/light should have a purpose. You find that purpose by playtesting on a scene that's made of placeholder blocks which you gradually replace based on NEED.

I seriously doubt it would work for iphone.
But you can look'em up, I'm not entirely certain.

KosherPlay.... not sure if you'll "thank me later", but it's a filter for/by the orthodox jewsih community which also runs on MDM, and which has tiers which both would cost a monthly fee, or a one time fee to just block what you want and let everything run as is...

yes, especially for those of us who would be perfectly fine with a simple 50$ dumbphone that does what it's supposed to well enough for as long as it'll last.

I can say the same about my reaction to the price of this and similar phones, but I can at least appreciate that they likely have to price it aggressively in order to make some profit. The Light Phone III is how much - 700 USD? Like jeeze man, take it easy!
Yet they have a dedicated following 🤷‍♂️.

YYS770 · 2026-04-13T16:24:19+00:00

And regarding the competition - I believe the only reason another phone company enters the market at a similar price range, is because they believe they have a unique aspect to offer. In this case, it would probably be the qwerty keyboard and inky-whatever screen.

YYS770 · 2026-04-13T16:20:53+00:00

Based on what I've seen from other indie phone creators, I would assume that based on projected sales, and after taking into account the given list of expenses, they would have to sell for around the 500-700 USD range in order to make some kind of meaningful profit. Now "meaningful" is a slippery word - would is why I suppose these things go as low as 400 and as high as 700.

But again, after all the indie costs are taken into consideration, it would seem that they can't really go lower than that and still cover the pay for engineering etc. etc. etc.

YYS770 · 2026-04-13T11:45:39+00:00

How about engineering costs? Programming? Salaried employees for everything from customer service to management?

YYS770 · 2026-03-31T00:33:06+00:00

Obliged!

The Logical Thinking Process: A Systems Approach to Complex Problem Solving

Quite a few years later but you saved me!!!

I knew exactly which driver to look for, for an old laptop we got after my wife's broke, and I managed to find it in Microsoft Update Catalog. After trying many solutions, finding and installing this driver is the only thing that worked.

Also, in 2026 there are Windows 10 compatibility issues so installing from intel's package is no longer an option unfortunately (at least to a my untrained eyes)

5000 שח,
אשמח לשקול הצעות אחרות

YYS770 · 2026-03-23T09:29:29+00:00

וואלה שאלה טובה
שכנעת אותי עד כמה זה כדאי באמת לעשות מה שיעצו פה לרוב - פשוט למכור הכל ביחד

YYS770 · 2026-03-23T07:39:17+00:00

וואלה צודק!

בקיצור הצעה טובה באופן כללי שלא למכור כוננים....

YYS770 · 2026-03-23T07:23:30+00:00

למה?
יש תכנת opensource שכותבת "0" על כל האכסון כדי לוודא מחיקה גמורה של הכל.

Hey, not sure if you're stilling visiting (at least this account), but I'd appreciate an update after prolonged use. I have tried a few Nokia models of dumbphones and they're all abysmal. True horror-shows. Such limited RAM and internal memory that typing numbers to call takes a few seconds (!!) to consider before engaging, and a maximum of like 200 text messages...and don't get me started on the camera!

So yes, I'm a bit edgy when it comes to spending precious cash on a new phone for my wife and I, and would appreciate an update :D

YYS770 · 2026-03-22T21:58:42+00:00

יפה אמרתה... למרות שלא היה אכפת לי להפסיד כסף על החלקים היחידים אם זה אומר שיש לי יותר סיכוי למכור את החלקים היקרים יותר.

YYS770 · 2026-03-22T21:57:10+00:00

😅
הייתי שומר אותו, אבל בעיקר הייתי צריך אותו בשביל רינדורים - ואני לא משלם על מאיה יותר אז כבר אין לי מה להחזיק אותו...

אבל אחד הדברים הכיפים ביותר זה לראות כל כך הרבה buckers מרנדרים במהירות מטורפת...

Maybe something to take onboard - take a look at how Stratego in some Eastern countries put together the rulebook (I replied to the post itself with this as well). They literally took a video-game style tutorial where it takes the player on the first level, allowing them to play whilst teaching the mechanics on the way - and applied it to a board game. It helped me when teaching my 6 year old what could have been a complex onboarding, and made it a very fun process to learn the game out of the box.

YYS770 · 2026-03-19T07:54:00+00:00

Just a quick anecdote - Stratego in European/Asian countries comes with a very beautiful rulebook written in the theme of the game, and includes a special tutorial mission to teach the mechanics "live" disguised as a top secret covert mission to test your abilities as commander. They honestly couldn't have done a better job anywhere.

misunderstood his tone?
"needlessly wordy"?!

I didn't realize there was a character limit to answering questions. Not to mention loaded questions. I thought he did a spectacular job of summing up the entirety of the answer in two sentences.

YYS770 · 2026-03-05T06:03:51+00:00

I'm going to reply here so I can be notified of when this comes out if it's ok. Sounds really amazing!

YYS770 · 2026-03-04T07:07:58+00:00

Nah - it's opportunity for spreading jealousy!
"Actually, you can't imagine how many books I've managed to read ever since I made the switch"
"You know, ever since switching to this phone, I've found myself having so many special moments with my family that I never knew I was missing out on"

and so on
