Neat! It’s always good to remind oneself that outside of gaming and other similar taxing tasks older hardware gets you way further than people think.

Where I’m from sourcing parts is a hassle unless its current or last gen, so always good to see what others are doing to benchmark my efforts.

What do you run, if you dont mind me asking?

Currently scavenging parts for my own storage server, but i have an older NUC lying around that i freshen up for some added compute, just curious what you can do with that hardware.

Thanks for the reply! I guess I can’t hide the fact that I’m not exactly well-versed in smart watches. Appreciate you taking the time, wishing continued good luck on you and your project!

I remember this! I believe I got invited some 2 years ago when it was in TestFlight. Liked it!

Back then if I remember correctly, it was a little skinny in features which didn’t motivate me to go for walks so I didn’t end up testing much im afraid. Maybe it’s time to try again!

When you say smart watch integrations, does that mean the specific ones? I use apple devices for a phone, but I don’t really want a smart watch. I would however be in the market for a garmin descent, as I need a new dive computer. Would this be a functional replacement? It is a smart watch after all.

Otherwise glad to see you still rocking, your app is a fun one, and a good idea!

Thank you! I’ll get myself caught up a little :)

Thank you! I will read up.

E: Also I like you name! Don’t dream of electric sheep :)

Why is DHH a pile of shit? I see this echoed a lot and I’m not familiar with his history beyond his hey and basecamp infrastructure stories after his spat with Apple.

As far as I can tell his takes are fine in that regard. I’m assuming his motivations for his troubles with apple aren’t altruistic in nature, at least not purely, but I don’t expect any businessman to be in any regard.

I’m genuinely curious, I’d love to learn more.

Almost as if it was intentional or something, huh.

Right now, cursory search tells me I can get a PS5 for 5890 NOK, that’s the 1tb variant I believe although it’s listed as 825gb. Next listing is at 6400 NOK.

The 1tb Deck is listed at 10183 NOK if I buy from one of the shops that imported.

A 64gb Switch OLED 2021 variant is listed at 3990 NOK.

The deck is unreasonably expensive due to import stuff when it comes to Norway. We could use remotebuyer services, but they need their cuts too so we’re back to obscene prices. I just want Valve to establish a presence here so we get better prices :(

I’m just so bummed Valve never seems to reach Norway with their products. With the Link and Controller I didn’t mind importing, but the Deck is pricy as it is and with import costs, tax and such the pricing ends up 20% more expensive than a PS5. I think 2 stores have them listed, but its specialty import and prices reflect that. I wish they would ship to a wider set of countries, would love one myself.
