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.

Haha I'm currently writing from Xperia 1 iii and that thing sucks battery quite quickly due to it having snapdragon 888 and 4k screen

I honestly need neither of that and would be ok with 1080p screen and 865 cpu.

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.

This is normal. They fly using some kind of corridor if I'm correct. I took such plane from Russia to turkey 2 months ago and it's definitely not a direct flight because Russian planes are not allowed in many countries' airspace.

And totally not safe for everyday driving to me. Even if the biker himself is a good one ,dumbass right next to him might crush him any second

Why would you be so sure it's not intentional?

In my country insurances won't let you buy one that is necessary-to-drive by adding such "bugs" and impossible captchas for newbie drivers and motorcyclists. Works like a charm in a court - they just say it was a bug

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.

I wrote my own software and used commercial plotter (from 90s - it is way faster than 3d printer) in order to achieve result that can make teacher believe that it was written. In my language it is required for letters to be connected when handwritten (my program does it), there are different variations for each letter that are stretched and rotated during generation (I used pen tablet in order to input them)

It was written mostly when I was in 10-11th grade (that's why the code is spaghetti) and I indeed wasted much more time than I would if I did my homework like a normal person

Btw here is repo: https://github.com/Snow4DV/3DWriter

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
