Phone: great for mindlessly scrolling or the odd comment.
Laptop: for actually getting anything done.
I’d use a desktop but sometimes I have to work from cafes or something so I prefer just using a laptop all the time rather than two machines
I have two. Early career I found the second one absolutely improved my productivity - perhaps by 50% or more - as it helped me multitask really effectively.
Now, later in my career I have had kids for a while. My multitasking went out the window when I had kids - I find it hard to juggle more than one or maybe two things I’m working on at a time. I suspect this was due to poor sleep - parents never seem to really catch up to sleeping full nights like before kids. Instead of multitasking on lots of small things I transitioned to more in-depth work where I can focus for longer periods on a single thing.
Now, I think having a second monitor is still useful but I can function fine without it. It’s maybe a 10% boost if that.
On MacOS this will do it:
printf 'net.inet.ip.ttl=65\nnet.inet6.ip6.hlim=65\n' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.conf
Can’t personally speak for other OSes at present. Here’s a SO post about Ubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/a/670276
You can also just increase your laptop’s initial TTL by one and then they can’t tell.
I’m a nerd. I know vaguely what RCS is because I had a discussion in 2019 with a friend about it. Do I have it? Do I use it? I have no idea. Is it an app or just a protocol that happens behind the scenes? I would assume the latter. My phone’s a few years old, isn’t everyone’s? Probably that means I don’t have it. No way to tell and I’m not going to bother trying to find out.
I’m so much more technical than most people btw
If those shelf brackets are fixed in place and screwed in with two screws above each other that’s probably enough diagonal bracing for lightweight use, considering it’ll normally be screwed into a wall too. The fact that theres no horizontal bracing at floor level might be a bigger issue — those feet will be easily bent/broken
What other authors have high clever-remark ratings, in your experience? Because I find myself near the end of the Discworld series and want to continue with something similarly engaging. Basically, the opposite of what you requested :)
This looks amazing. There aren’t enough RTS games being made
TERM is the default (15). 9 is KILL
