That ol' n' moist

Late 90s & early 2000s Toyotas, before the active fuel management regulations of 2007-2008 are the peak ICE car.

What I do is start a micro web server with Python on a termux terminal, if you don't have root on said device you'll be stuck in the /data/data/com.termux/files/ but its still enough to save files with Firefox to said directory on the files/home/ I believe? (export or share to termux and you'll be taken to termux on the aforementioned directory, where you can always pwd to know where you are) however if you do have root you'll be able to literally start the mini web server on the / or any folder you like. And then on your laptop you browse to the IP of the phone and the custom port, which if its hotspot you can also find via termux or tends to be 172.20.10.1 or something mundane depending on your carrier.

TBH using Bottles to run an exe feels more refined than the epic games UI.

They do the same when visiting Mexico which lies on the same continent as the Golf of America.

These guys are living in the glory. I bet they don't even know all the info they need is just in a fucking config file, in a damn manual somewhere or in the stupid docs that people doesn't seem to bother reading anymore, or writing some decent ones.

shlubs who barely passed undergrad data structures and algorithms courses.

And that's the problem with most people getting into IT nowadays, they expect to go to an algorithms course or a development bootcamp and come out knowing everything to make a 6 figure salary, but don't even try to learn what a software dependency is or how to fix their dev environment and expect GPT to shlub it up, when in reality many of these old school software programmers were self learning nerds who were just trying to solve (a) problem, and spent hours doing so.

Not to mention the sense of pioneering something.

something you're happy to spend 80+ hours a week on, especially when basic needs are taken care of.

Vs writing the same thing that already exists with a different front end, a bunch of times with different examples, because somebody who has more resources (not just more cash, but also time) decides visuals are more important than real functionality.

Part of the reason I don't like 'coding' or developing software its because is so dreadful and feels overly stupid when an open source alternative works better than what you'd be able to make before the deadline.

I just rather be a CTO / SysAdmin and live happier.

Programmers of the past didn't have to work 2 jobs to be able to buy a house and live comfortably, less alone spend most of their paycheck on inflated prices for gas, food, services, etc. But hey we got AI and Amazon Prime now.

Isn't that a byproduct/effect of capitalism? You could say the same thing about Walmart.

Classic ~~Goverment / Army.~~ Walmart. Taking a perfectly thing and finding the absolute worst supplier that will make it for the bottom of the barrel lowest price.

A couple hundred thousand at least, plus setup, on boarding and monthly maintenance fees if I could take a guess.
