Yeah I guess you’re right and that depends on the child and their parents themselves.

My parents weren’t limiting my time in any way and that helped me to become software engineer actually so to me it turned out to be a good thing. If I did have my screen time limited I would totally spend it on computer.games and not CS. I’m sure about it because I spent a lot of time playing too haha

Oh, sorry, that sounds totally understandable - I wish my best to both you and her!

And don’t see anything wrong with that either way - was just interested how common it is

// sry for offtop but

Is everyone is fine with parental control nowadays? It was for paranoid parents only in my childhood and I didn’t know anyone with parental control really.

The worst thing to me and my friends was hidden power supply cable if you did something really wrong.

The second problem is absence of regional prices in other markets but Steam.

They are selling games two (!!) or so times cheaper in RU region. For example, AAA game might cost 60 dollars or 6000 rub in US but it will costs 35 or 3500 rub in russian steam.

Even though I couldn’t afford games in the past and pirated them - at some point I started buying stuff just because it gives much better, hustle -free experience.

I would too but gotta get these “good morning” and “celebrate the day of lightly salted cucumbers” pictures/post cards from my grandparents somehow haha

Good point about dynamic channels (even though it sounds bad if you consider the notification channel’s purpose) but not true in that particular case: I’ve talked to a bunch of people using Viber and it still has only one active “call” channel

Probably bad coding - should create notification channel when there’s no existing one atm somehow. Probably disabling notification channel also triggers recreation

Only to find out that it creates new channel each time the old one is unavailable.

Yes, Viber?! F it - I disabled calls channel so I don’t receive scam calls in it - why would it recreate it?

I don’t get it either. My thinkpad has option to switch s0 sleep on/off and I don’t understand why I would want to drain my battery and bake a backpack so it wakes up just a little faster.

Windows makes deck more like a laptop. No comfortable ui/sleep, so it’s like steam deck with everything good taken away but with compatibility.

Monitor the temp gauge in your car. Overheated my civic’s engine when radiator leaked :( had no warnings until it’s too late (2008 one). had to replace it, now always trying to have an eye on it

So what? In the past people had books and magazines Before that people asked relatives or their parents

It’s just a different method of passing on the knowledge. Nothing changed with smartphones - just a different way to exchange information that can’t appear in your head by itself

It’s good actually that there’s no global karma count: it means you won’t have the reason to farm karma by reposting/posting bad quality content => more good OC in your feed

Honestly - due to stereotypes. But logically thinking I’d say that most driving routes aren’t very complicated in US when compared to European countries according to what I’ve seen in movies, dash cam videos and etc. Also IIRC most people in US live outside big cities: like in smaller towns so they mostly drive on interstates or small streets (nothing complicated). See the stop sign? Stop’n’go. Red light? Stop. Green? Go.

I’m from Russia (many bad drivers here too so I won’t say anything bad about us haha) but in Europe it’s pretty close: many roundabouts, sometimes complicated road markings, denouements even in small cities. Streets of American cities are also engineered in simpler way: there are square blocks of houses with perpendicular intersections . So drivers simply don’t need that much rules and tend to fail in simpler situations when compared to European country when you deal with some over engineered sh.t.

Are you talking about usa? Bc it is the same in many countries but they usually don’t deal with such a big amount of terrible drivers (ain’t saying that to “usa bad” talk, just my pov)
