I loved smith charts during my microwave classes in college. I've always felt like there should be a fun game based on the mechanics of using a smith chart.
If you (or anyone else) are interested in getting into embedded email me at my username @ gmail. We're currently looking for a couple. Coming from Java/Python is a plus
I almost never turn on my camera unless I'm hosting a status meeting (and I don't expect other too). Most of my 'video' calls are with one or two other people debugging something and sharing my screen. When compiling and running stuff my pc is already struggling, no reason to bog it down more with someone's face.
The only people that seem to care about people turning on their camera are those who's job is to communicate with people all day long. I get it, but at the same time stop trying to change others behavior to make you happy.
It's a lot like those who hate work from home because they no longer have a social life. Don't make ME commute to work and fake 9+ hours of work so YOU can have a social life
I think this is a result of adults making up a much larger share of gamers and profits to gaming companies.
I've noticed myself doing this and I can pause it if I try but I don't think I can turn it off. Playing games as a kid, it was all about exploration and doing fun things. I didn't beat many games but I played a lot of them. As an adult, I need to be setting goals and earning achievements. There always needs to be something I'm working towards.
It's fun planning/achieving at first but after a few weeks it just feels like i've given myself another job then i get burnt out and reset.
I haven't played battlefield 2042. I bet you're right that portal mode is fun but I'm willing to bet if I was to play I would probably start to express the same sentiment that there's no point in playing portal mode if it doesn't help me progress in the game. It's stupid and I have a hard time admitting it but it's true.
Sometimes I wish I could just enjoy a game for what it is and not be thinking about "what next?" or "what does this accomplish?". I think its just because we're adults (and probably because we have fully developed prefrontal cortexes?)

I started using this to keep track of university assignments. 8 years later it's still my go to for personal things. It serves a different purpose then a calendar but the two together solve everything I need
I've always thought it was like a smoke shop. They say their products are for tobacco but everyone knows what its really for. Same with VPN, they say it's for all those things above but accessing geo-restricted content seems like the real reason.
And it's associated starter FPGA: https://nandland.com/the-go-board/
If you outgrow this I would recommend moving to some sort of Xilinx Arty Spartan board
