  • Trick is not to do fucking nothing while you get that master’s…if you do? Then that’s on you. I did programing jobs while studying, it’s how i paid for my degree.

    If you can’t get something going? Maybe the field isn’t going to work for you to begin with… there’s no silver bullet. Different fields will do different things, but if you do spend 7 years and you truly come out of uni with nothing? You failed or you got ripped off but equally failed to notice for 7 years.

    Life is tough. too many go to uni before they’re ready.




  • Give me a 10-12 inch laptop and a dock. I had some Dell ones with battery which would last donkey years!

    I do a lot of meetings, all our meeting rooms I’ve set up with remote connections to TV / projector and single USB which connects to meeting room camera etc.

    I’ve been doing this type of job for almost 20 years, laptops are great but you need to play to their strengths and instead of trying to do it all with some 17 inch behemoth, get a good dock setup.



  • As an electronical engineer… Electricity is scary.

    Be mindful of it ALWAYS. The behaviour can be learned. I come from line of electricians and looking back, some times I do wonder if the saying is right… Please don’t test cable by tapping it with the back of your palm, you’re not smarter by not touching it with front making potentially your hand spasm and close on the cable… The smart thing is to NOT touch it at all.










  • Robot dinos are well made. I’m not disputing that. It’s the only reason I put up with it for 16h… But I got bored to death with the same open world formula.

    As for where my bar is set? I enjoy games like red dead 2 or space marine 2 from recent memory. But my go to are mods and older RPGs, Gothic 2 is gold standard to me. Games like Rogue Trader from owlcats etc. I enjoy depth and hand crafted nature. Hence games like kingdom come rank high on my list for believable world building with memorable characters. I don’t recall a single name from my 16h with horrison…

    God of war (the remake) did it well to keep focus on characters and story as opposed to “clutter” and massive open world filled with markers.
