That only gives you the client component though, which isn't very useful when the game servers shut down. Most games these days don't have a self-hostable dedicated server. In case of Steam/Valve specifically it…
Have you tried https://www.funkwhale.audio/? It can be used effectively as a "private spotify". Labeling is a solved problem thanks to https://picard.musicbrainz.org/, and the fact that a lot of the music you buy these…
Yep. I recently serviced a Tissot from the late 1930s – it was running fine, it was just a reasonable thing to do after all these years to prolong its lifespan. You wouldn't be able to tell that it needs a service…

Oh, I absolutely agree – there is an overhead to hiring remotely (especially if you need to operate another business there, like Google does in Warsaw), so if you have to pay someone the same and cover that overhead…
If you're struggling to find talent anywhere, why not hire in Poland? As a Polish engineer, we all know that companies are struggling to hire anyone. If you think you can hire a local instead of me for the same money,…

Ha, I knew it! A20 Lagavulin on Silent always seems like it's down to whether you managed to get enough poison cards for it.
