In your case it would seem to be “arguing with strangers on HN”!

I'd say it's more like I'm trying to get something coherent out of people and there's nothing to be had.

Video games don't even appear to be productive of good discussion.

What are you on about? You clearly don't like video games and think they're a waste of time, which is fine. Other people do like them and find them fulfilling for whatever reason, which is also fine.

Why are you trying so hard to "prove" that someone's hobby is a waste of time?

> Other people do like them and find them fulfilling for whatever reason

That's the question. What is the reason?

People also play slot machines. Are slot machines fulfilling?

No! And that’s how I like it!

AI written post, do better.

Dropshipping all over again!

Oura are struggling hard NOT to enshittify. Their newer rings have several hardware issues, chiefly battery life, and their policies on replacements keep shifting (And becoming worse for consumers).

I've used an Oura since the early days (2021 or 2022 IIRC), and I won't upgrade from my gen3. It's been helpful for longterm health monitoring and seeing what interventions work for me, but the company is becoming anticonsumer (Much like the rest of the deranged high-growth corporations) and I don't have much faith in them.

Google is probably unironically working on remote attestation for eye implants right now

Smart glasses could be able to tell what got through to the retina at least.

But fuck it, just brand all our brains with "SLA Industries".(fictional dystopian corporation ruling future)

AI allows 1 engineer 1000x leverage - 1000 engineers worth of code debt!~

I'd like to contribute and get you some financial support. Can't offer much but I hope it helps.

iFixit basically saying skip this upgrade. Strong verdict.

Repairing an aperture mechanism on a regular camera lens is a pretty specialised job, so it's not exactly surprising that repairing a much smaller and more delicate mechanism is outside the reach of most repair shops.

A lengthy treatise on esoteric interpretations and the edge-case maths of effective altruism, which 'proves' it's evil. HN will love this one!

Reminds me of this guy- Adjusts glasses "Heh Heh, nice moral standpoint you got there. It'd be a shame if I applied this super specific edge case to it."
