  • Steam Frame too much for you? Get a PlayStation VR 2 lol

    —

    in

    Bit of a quickie, but I’ve had multiple people ask me about PSVR2, given that I was an early adopter of both the headset itself (hell, I bought my PS5 for that purpose) and its PC VR support, and the price for the Steam Frame is pretty astronomical. It’s a bit weird because when I…

  • Unless you want OCD, stop seeking ideological purity.

    A while back, Hank Green admitted to using AI, and was honest about how it had hurt his cognition. As a result, he was founded by anti-AI ideologues dogpiling him for having ever used it in the first place, particularly on Bluesky and Reddit, the latter where I saw someone justifying said harassment because it…

  • Little site update

    I am sticking to WordPress for now. While I’ve enjoyed templating with Hugo and CSS/HTML is genuinely really fun to work with, I don’t think I liked writing in Markdown with weird shortcodes for my website as much as I’d liked, and I still think I wanna keep it simple when it comes to writing.…

  • Did Bhutan reactivate my Euro-tism?

    —

    in

    So, before I get to it because I know people are going to ask: Now that’s out of the way, let’s talk about Bhutan – also known as the Land of the Thunder Dragon, which is a badass name. Much more badass than “Great Britain”. Bhutan’s the first country to get a rep for the…

  • First impressions of my MacBook Air

    —

    in

    So, I finally did it. I got my MacBook Air. I went for 16GB because it was cheaper, and I want to dip my toe in before even thinking about committing to the Mac ecosystem. And so far, with the few days I’ve had it, it’s been really good, although with some big caveats. The…

  • LLMs are bad decision helpers

    —

    in

    I want to preface this by saying I am not anti-AI/LLM, especially in the way it has manifested on social media. In fact, I’m highly critical of the movement due to how abusive the movement has gotten (especially on Bluesky and the FOSS community) and dismissive to information that contradicts their claims, and I do…

  • How Linux broke my backups

    —

    in

    I try not to talk about Linux, but I have to admit, my past hyperfixation with and experiences using it may have given me plenty of stories to tell, especially now I’m done with Linux. It’s like I’ve got a bunch of cautionary tales. This will probably end up on the desktop Linux problems post…

  • I may have to reinstall Windows, and it’s my fault.

    —

    in

    So, I’ve been having a weird issue with 1Password on Windows, lately. Whenever I try to enable passkey integration with Windows, it will automatically switch it off. I can’t even enable it in 1Password itself, either. It’s like Windows does not want it to be on at all. If it was a group policy, I’d…

    MacBook time So, I finally bit the bullet. I bought myself an M5 MacBook Air. Friends will be unsurprised, it’s been on the mind for a while. This is also my first proper Mac that I’ll be owning too – before this I relied a lot on Hackintosh since the early 2010s which for modern…
