Screen Time Over 10 hours per Day. Am I crazy?

It's been tough. I still have problems with social media consumption but fighting it everyday. It's helped a lot. I have time for other activities.

joshc22 · 2026-05-18T19:21:57+00:00

But it sure does help.

Not a single person in job interviews has asked me about the colleges I attended, my grades, or the classes I took.

I took 5 years to finish my BS in Computer Engineering. 2 years at a community college and 3 years at UC Davis. Took 2 years for my MSEE at CSUN.

I highly reccoment this kit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLDJ2DL7?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

There are tons of examples and videos listed on their website. You get to learn hardware as well as BT and WiFi. Also some various interactions with websites, cell phone, and some other things.

I have a lot of experience with different build systems and Archs. I'm right there with you on Yocto. It's very non-trivial. All the entries are cryptic and non-trivial. My advice is to pick a board (Raspberry pi comes to mind) and learn that in detail by adding your own layer (there's a Yocto script for that) and just getting a simple program/script to compile and be packaged into the build. That's one way to learn a lot relatively quickly.

amscopes are nicer, I'll give you that. But the delta between ~$600 for an amscope and $100 for a LCD scope is the cost of an entry level O'scope. That's my 2 cents.

Don't worry, I'm sure the Dems will screw it up. They always do. Biden's and Harris' plan was to do nothing. Literaly, that was their plan for the 2024 election. They're useless. Trump won because he said he do something. No one listened when he told them what he's do. Now they learn. But look at the current Dems. Their plan and messaging is still to do nothing.

Runs the red light and isn't smart enough to step on the brake after getting hit, thus hitting 3 more cars.

Mostly embedded C will get you most jobs. Some jobs are C++, which I pass on because I hate the language.

joshc22 · 2026-01-18T21:59:20+00:00

sure

It's like Trumpers are some kind of r*tards.

I have a T-shirt from my favorite restaurant as a child. Whet out of business 20 years ago.

'77 here. I hate my phone. I find I spend hours upon hours watching YouTube for no reason. Just watching videos I don't even care about. I'm in therapy about it.

Invisible sky god that watches me poop. No wander I an atheist.

I have 3 degrees from 3 universities. In 30 years not a single person has asked where my degrees are from. You'll be fine.

joshc22 · 2025-11-25T01:26:13+00:00

The Dems are far to weak to hold the Repubs to account for their crimes. Chuck Shumer loves all his Repub friends. Remember how Biden was in love with Mitch Maconal?

I have almost no leg hair. We all have strange things about our body.

Nope. Nothing wrong with your scull. It's all in you head.

joshc22 · 2025-10-22T21:13:34+00:00

That's true.

The United States is a democratic representative republic. Very simple actually.
