  • I quite like Obsidian too. Markdown note app that has desktop & mobile versions. You can create templates and have it so that a new note using a template is opened automatically when you open the app (e.g. for daily notes). It also supports a lot of different community created plugins.

    I sync across android & linux via google drive for free, otherwise Obsidian also has a paid sync feature.

  • I do feel kinda bad for people. There’s very few jobs left where you don’t interact with a computer in some form or another, and the reality is that it’s not for everyone. Of course most people can benefit from using these “tools” but since they’re always upgrading, there keeps being something new to learn.

    Personally, I love technology and playing around with new tech. However, if I’m great at sales or a lawyer or something, that’s where I add value, not in knowing how a computer works. So I can see how people get frustrated with it.

    In the end it boils down to, pretty much everyone needs IT, but IT doesn’t need everyone. Think about it, when was the last time you worked at a company where an employee didn’t have a computer or need a computer for some task that they do?

  • SO has helped me countless times, so I can’t thank it enough. However, it just seems impossible to become an “expert” these days. I can’t even vote when a solution has helped me. I’ve tried raising my own legitimate questions, but at this point they’re going to be obscure & niche, so that no one interacts with it, and I don’t get magical internet points so that I can contribute myself. It’s actually really frustrating since I’ve actually wanted to give back to the community, and it just seems to work actively against me.

  • Working at a company with no automated tests. There’s not even a collection of regression tests or anything to follow. I was wondering if anyone could share or point me towards a good template to start building out test cases as a first step?

Hi all, I’ve been thinking about setting things up so I can play Steam games on my TV but I’m a little confused on the setup. So here’s what I was planning:

  • main laptop in office will stream the game
  • TV in living room connected to Nvida shield
  • Nvidia shield runs Steam Link to connect to laptop
  • Controllers connect to Nvidia shield??

I think the main thing that confuses me is if I can connect my controllers to the Nvidia shield or do they need to connect to the laptop?

Anyone have a similar setup that works?

Hey All, I’m one of those that is still playing Counter-Strike Source even though the world has moved on.

I’ve really been enjoying this specific “revival” mod that allows you to revive your teammates, however, I’m struggling to find servers that have it. The server search inside the game is absolute rubbish, so I was hoping someone might know of an active CS:S community or perhaps server search, so that I can find some servers with that mod?

Thanks!
