My beard constantly starts due to laziness, but I either get remarks about needing to shave or it starts itching and I shave in any case 😅

Impressed that your partner prefers your (likely scratchy) facial fur 😆

as I look like an upside down lightbulb with a beard.

My dad had a small poster in his office that said:
"God only made so many perfect heads, the rest he covered with hair"

Hence you have a perfect head, show it off 😅

dx6 was a big improvement over dx5. Introduced immediate mode which stayed until dx9.
dx7 was basically a drop-in-replacement for dx6. They kept the retained mode libs and updated the immediate mode stuff. As I remember the only noticeable change was how the maxtrix operations was handled, and if you did that change you'd get matrix processing offload to the TnL unit of Geforce/Radeon/Matrox cards of the time.

I think the industry upgraded to dx7 quite fast as it was a near-seamless upgrade from a dx6 codebase.

Games I played this year that was absolutely phenomenal:
* Baldurs gate 3 (played through twice for the first time)
* Cyberpunk 2077 (second playthrough)
* Titanfall 2

Games I played and enjoyed them for the weird experiences that they are:
* Quantum Witch
* Slay the princess

Games I put a lot of time into, but is merely good:
* Eternal Strands
* Nimrods
* Clair Obscure: Expedition 33

Games I played that was especially disappointing:
* Megabonk
* Detroit: Become human

Servo has been improving at a very serious rate in the last few months alone. Unfortunately it's still missing a few key features such as WebRTC, but its JS & CSS support is coming along nicely. I tried a few Vue and React based SPA sites and other than a few rendering issues it was basically working. I think we are a year out soonest with something usable, and then there probably will still be many issues.

Falkon is a functional stripped-down chromium clone. I've been using it as a backup test browser as it tends to be a bit behind latest chromium releases.

Biggest issue with both of them is no plugin system.

I should really look at more Firefox forks to use in the meantime as the multi-account-container feature is critical for me at this time.

Sigh. I so hate the AI fad. It's even worse than the blockchain fad.

Love the Amiga demoscene style music!

I hope they addressed the irregular difficulty curve. I found the sudden spikes in difficulty incredibly frustrating. Then again, I probably won't fire it back up any time soon, it was too frustrating :-(

I have to say, for all their flaws my Framework purchase isn't regretted. The hardware isn't perfect. The firmware isn't perfect.
But they try.
And mostly succeed.

I have an old G102 mouse. No idea how old it is, the left button has a large shiny dimple that I'm 100% sure wasn't there when it was new. It's still working pretty much perfectly.

I just hate wireless mice/keyboards for the random battery dead at the worst possible time thing that always happens :grin:

I hope it serves you an uneventful decade
