>any valuable laptop is a tracking device anyway.

You say this but I've seen countless videos of Apple stores getting raided by thugs who steal all the devices. We all know those devices will shut down and be inoperable but they don't know and/or care.

I'm sympathetic to the title inflation issue but more on the problem of the "engineer" title, not to mention the "scientist" title.

For example, I work in Data & AI and we have:

- data engineer

- analytics engineer

- data scientist

- AI engineer

What I don't know is what's the alternative?

Data Engineers are basically software developers.

Analytics Engineers were Data Analysts or BI Analysts but the job has changed so much that neither of those titles fit.

My opinion is that basically everyone should just be a "Developer" or "Programmer" and then have the area suffixed:

- Data Engineer → Developer (Data Infrastructure)

- Analytics Engineer → Developer (Analytics)

etc.

That doesn't change the reality that the Steam Deck is a niche device.

I hope that changes though.

Came across this piece from Discord on how they scaled dbt for petabyte-level workloads and a big engineering team. Some interesting ideas around environment isolation, faster compilation, guardrails, and CI/CD patterns that data and analytics engineers might find useful.

Curious, what have they moved on to? Is it better than Fortnite and the other games you've identified?

Steam Deck has a tiny install base.

Switch 2 does not.

I'm mostly a PC gamer but let's be real here.

I tried all of these debloating scripts a couple of years back but nowadays I just stick with LTSC

>they keep emulators and implementation for the Switch pro controller out of the app store.

True but macOS also has OpenEmu which is great.

Care to elaborate on the modification you made to macOS? Currently running a 2015 MBP and am really happy with it but always looking for improvements.
