but ya after reading a bit more its the blind leading the blind

it is indeed the users fault windows 11 is dogshit. facepalm
wait till you see what H1B hiring practices do to american applicants!

almost officially graybeard territory, thinking about starting an apiary. getting stung by 100s of bees still sounds like more fun than being forced to have to interact with LLM code from any source
Re:Arena Allocators in C on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @06:45AM (#50085495)
unaligned access is not an option on some mips cpus, which are very much still in use in 1000s of routers, for example
welcome to zombocom. err i mean modern HN :-(
both the linked camera lens example as well as the last one the author linked runs at ~5fps on vivaldi and pegs CPU 100%. i have never seen any 3d visualization website have performance this bad, i assume they're not using webgl given my GPU is 0% utilization.

additionally many RAs offer mail forwarding/virtual offices (that can even accept deliveries) for pretty affordable , eg northwest registered agent offering seemingly millions of sheridan wy suites
mint is great (if you dont mind tmobile), hard to beat $15/m for unlimited txt talk. the base data has gone up a few gb 6? but i never really use it
