I believe you can stream to the Portal from anywhere with a solid WIFI connection. Does not necessarily need to be the same local network.

I was about to cancel my order for a Playstation Portal after seeing this. Considering a bit further though, I really think remote play is the future as long as you aren't concerned with using the device on the go. My PS5 can handle games way better than a Steam Deck, the device is lighter, and the battery lasts significantly longer. Still a bit torn though, the Steam Deck appeals to the side of me that loves gadgets. It's a tough call.

I have been interviewing intermittently for a few months and I can completely empathize with what you are experiencing. It has been around 10 years since I had to do any real interviews. What is expected and accepted now is way over the top, and really feels disrespectful how much time some of these companies expect you to spend interviewing with them. Some companies are definitely better than others though.

For the worst ones, the interviewers act like you should know what they want you to do already. I'm guessing because there is so much information about tech interviews out there. One of my first interviews they opened an online IDE with 15 minutes left in the interview, showed me how to write code it in and use the command line there, then told me to build a GitHub clone with such and such features. That left me completely flustered because I took what he was asking quite literally.

The best interviews I've had so far they send information about the interview beforehand that explains what it will cover, what they are looking for, who I will be speaking to, etc. I don't know if we are allowed to name names here, but I would like to give a shout out to Cisco Meraki. They definitely had the best interviewing process I've been through so far.

Mainly, the problem is that things are so competitive right now as far as getting jobs. If things were normal I would just focus on the companies that had a sane process and ignore the rest. My strategy right now is to take any interview right now and treat it as practice since I am really bad at interviews, and hope I do well with the companies that actually seem like a good fit. I don't think I would accept an offer from a company that put me through the ringer though.

I run my own business right now, and I really like having to tackle all aspects of it, which has led me to also consider trying a different field of work. The problem is that none of them seem to pay nearly as well as being a software engineer. In your case, I would just keep doing whatever interviews you can. Do the terrible interview loops with the knowledge in the back of your mind that you would never actually accept the job offer. Then when a good interview loop comes along, it will seem all the sweeter and you'll be ready to ace it.

I would love to use AWS but the usage based pricing has scared me away. There have been too many stories of running up bills in the tens of thousands from coding errors. If AWS had a way to make sure that didn’t happen I would be all over it.

I was doing a phone interview with three software engineers and one of the founders (he was in charge of sales) was on the call. This was a second round interview and they had just begun asking me a couple of technical questions when the founder chimes in and says "Wow, I love it! You're hired!" The engineers tried to argue that they had just begun the interview, but the founder had already hung up so they just said, "Ok, well, see you on Monday I guess..."

I would like a Dark Souls that isn't always so dark and has more NPCs. I love the aesthetic of the games, but when all the NPCs are either psychotic or suicidal it starts to get too depressing for me.

Also, more games where the NPCs don't just stand around like statues. I like playing games that are immersive, and that more than anything really just kills the vibe for me.

Not having to fill out the same information every time I visit a new healthcare provider. They should just have some sort of centralized profile I can give them access to for my information.
