  • Just finished watching it. Immediately gave it a shot because of Tina Fey’s involvement but there are a few other actors that I also love so it should have had a lot going for it (from my perspective).

    But wow, I did not like it. There were a few moments where I laughed out loud in the first episode but I didn’t laugh for the remaining 7 episodes.

    The story was also really meh. For me it was just watching a friend group doing things with little to no connective tissue. Which… yeah, I get that it’s two episodes per season which is the whole gimmick of the show. But I couldn’t get invested in any of the characters or their lives because all the important stuff happens in the months that are off-screen.

    Unsolicited mini-review over hehe








  • Going away from AWS ranges anywhere from trivial to literally impossible. If you for example only use S3 there are drop in replacements so you basically only have to change one config file once.

    But they offer stuff that has no replacements that I just learned of recently. For example did you know IMDb has an API? Well it’s only usable via AWS. I mean yeah it makes sense from a business perspective and it’s a real niche edge case, but if you, like me, wanna access IMDb programmatically, welp…. time to parse HTML like a caveman.





  • This is the core issue of console gaming tho. You can’t actually upgrade. You just straight up buy a new console. This wasn’t that big of a deal during the PS4 gen because the PS4 pro wasn’t that expensive. But at the current price points a different strategy is needed.

    Honestly I think if Sony made a program like “mail us your old PS5 and like $200 to get a PS5 Pro” the console would’ve done better. It wouldn’t address the “why do we need this?” part (especially considering we’re hearing reports of GTA6 running at 30 FPS on the Pro) but it would’ve done some good for customer goodwill.
