Aside from other suggestions already made (but seriously the answer is SPD)

• Peglin - think if peggle was a roguelite inspired by slay the spire
• Mini metro - minimalist puzzle game where you built out a metro system
• Balatro - yes you can get balatro on your phone (it was in the op)

Edit: balatro was in the OP so I’ll add another

• Brotato - made a bit harder than the PC version with the touch controls IMO, but still a good time killer on the phone

Yep, this

I’ve probably sunk several hundreds of hours into it at this point

The fact it’s still being actively developed for like over a decade is just icing on the cake

It was the one that would let me sign up with minimal questions when I wanted to join.

I wasn’t sure if I was necessarily going to stick around at that point, so I didn’t want to answer a questionnaire and wait for approval just to try it out

Inertia has me still here

Stores are supposed to then take what they’ve received and donate it to a local charity. The workers have to figure out what charity they’ll partner with, and have to do the leg work of coordinating the donations themselves.

And let me guess, they’re either expected to do this in their free time or not miss their targets if they do it during work

If you can get an old final-intel-gen MBP in decent nick, they can make pretty decent Linux machines if you’re okay with not being able to do any internal hardware upgrades.

tiny-dfr is your friend if you happen to get one with that touchbar F-row, which is probably the only big downside compared to a conventional laptop.

Unfortunately there’s a criminal in charge of the US

Guess I know where my free time is going this weekend

Being a good CDN is an expensive exercise that requires the ability to run POPs in many countries around the world.

Cloudflare captured the market by basically being simultaneously much cheaper, better distributed and ultimately better performing than the incumbents at the time (Akamai and Limelight IIRC)

The rest of the story is capitalism doing capitalist things

Cloudflare is increasingly a SPOF for the web

It’s hilariously probably at the point where it’s beneficial for them from a PR perspective to recommend alternatives to new customers now

Honestly I don’t see the issue with this as it’s reported.

It’s not banning resale, it’s just banning resale for profit.

The only real downside I can see is the people who were actually paying the crazy tout prices will have to be more organised and get the tickets when they are released, since I imagine the touting will be significantly reduced (some people will still break the law) if there’s no profit to be had.

I’m curious as to what you think the issues might be

They specifically mentioned the enterprise ecosystem.

I would not be surprised at all if Apple’s MDM system is less painful to use for smaller businesses than Microsoft’s AD and everything attached to it. Hell it might even be nicer for big orgs, but I’ve never heard of one (apart from the likes of Google) not using AD

Also if you’re already dealing with one of those systems, an IT department is probably motivated to not run both and set up interop if they can avoid it

Oh you know what, you might be right. I read that part as a non sequitur

100%

OP doesn’t even need to answer, the omission of this kinda indicates they potentially already know why

A stylophone is more of a toy than an instrument, really

If you want a small synth that you’ll actually be able to use to make music and learn, I’d say look into the Korg Volca series. They’re only around twice the price of the stylophone, and are much more powerful in terms of what they’re capable of.

There’s about 10 of them now and are very affordable for what they are, which is a combination sequencer and synth. They can also be connected together to sync up, so you could have one doing drums and another doing a bassline or something.

Look into YouTube videos about them and decide which you think would best help you make the kind of music you’re looking to make.

Yeah I’ve personally never got the appeal

I think it’s that it basically has a grip on small economy

It’s a chat app yes, but it’s also Amazon, it’s also a payment provider, not just online either, you pay in shops with a WeChat QR code, I think if you’re going to a gig, your tickets are on WeChat

It’s basically all encompassing.

WeChat I guess

Something geared towards finding out what they do in their free time. Generally a quick way to find stuff in common

Nu-metal & Nu-rave purely to see what they call it

Tarantino & Nolan already got shouts in the thread, so:

John Carpenter for some of the best practical effects in cinema history

You’ve also got the likes of Stanley Kubrick & David Lynch, of course

Talking of Davids, David Fincher feels like he has enough good to make the list

I feel like you could go on a great journey through 80s-00s cinema with films having either Bill Murray or Arnold Schwarzenegger in the cast

There’s probably a lot I’m forgetting
