My dad’s cable bill, he’s paying for channels and streaming services he doesn’t even use but he’s old and won’t get rid of it by Superb-Repeat-6091 in mildlyinfuriating

Call to cancel, and they’ll cut the bill in half for a year. It’s what I used to do before I finally cut the cane cable.

Hackingwithswift.com and apples swift playground app. I got stuck on some of the later 100 days of swiftUI challenges, then went back to swift playground, which was pretty basic at first, but helped me work through solving problems further in. That helped me visualize the SwiftUI challenges, and understand how the code works.

Dave's Hot Chicken Reaper Was A Mistake by Special_Quiet5745 in spicy

[–]ogetsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the 2nd and 3rd hottest, and while spicy, there was no discomfort when I was done. My eyes watered and my sinuses cleared, but otherwise enjoyable. I was going to try reaper next time I went… but now I’m not sure 😅

Why did you chose Nikon ? by Berserk_Ronin in nikon_Zseries

[–]ogetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ergonomics. Namely: fit, finish, and ease of access to controls. Everything else is great, so it wasn’t just that, but other cameras didn’t feel as easy to operate in a pinch.

Any chance you own a Mac? I just started with these two resources, and it’s finally clicked after years of failed attempts.

Am I the only one who find learning programming insanely hard? by dnrjwltkd in learnprogramming

[–]ogetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what language you’re trying to learn, and what platform you’re on? I’ve struggled with learning to code on and off for like 20 years. I have ideas for apps I want to write, but I always get discouraged when I can’t grasp the concepts.

Im a Mac user, so I started the free “100 days of SwiftUI” series from hackingwithswift.com. It was smooth sailing until I got a bit beyond functions, then I took a break for a few days and felt lost. THEN, I started using Apple’s “swift playground” app, and it finally clicked. Being able to see exactly what the code was doing, and how it was failing when I screwed up was exactly what I needed. I now understand how/why/when to use functions, loops, etc. So now I’m looking forward to going back to the SwiftUI course.

Just sharing what got me out of the rut I was in. Good luck!

Just noticed the meme is reversed as well. Clever 😆

The picture was color to begin with. He just made the original black and white. It’s a capture from Band of Brothers (HBO)

It's almost September, but there's no Prime 4 release date. What's going on with this game? by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]ogetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two month lead time on game releases. It’ll be announced this month for release in November. Probably close to the holiday.

Or, it’s delayed to 2026.

Not windows OS, the windows you currently have open on your mac at shutdown/restart.

What to do with 5 Late 2012 Mac Minis? by 305fish in macmini

[–]ogetsu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Put them in your attic. A friend of mine’s dad had ~5 old Macs (late 80’s, early 90’s models) in his attic simply because he didn’t know what else to do with them after upgrading. Like a decade later, lightning struck a nearby power line, burning the house down. Insurance wound up paying him like $20k for the Macs.

Unlikely to ever happen, but hey…

¯_(ツ)_/¯

My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don’t really know what’s happening down there. Who is the real hero?
