I’ve noticed a trend already with tech reviewers trying to sell that, actually massive AI upscaling and fake AI frames are actually a good thing! And they’re now this new metric Nvidia pulled out it’s ass that reviewers at pointing to of line a supposed 80% of users, use DLSS. No days if Nvidia turned it on (via there crap 3rd party app), encouraged it to be in by default in games, etc. no mention how they got this telemetry data either, if it’s even real. I know I personally turn DLSS in all forms off.

I can’t help but feel like this $2000 card is now like an $800 card once you strip away the ‘AI’ bullshit.

With Disney, always assume sequels. They milk every IP to the ground.

Man people will do anything not to drink Pepsi!

GN doesn’t seem to have a problem holding their sponsors accountable, putting a story together, doing their due diligence, and then letting everybody know.

If only they had some medium to post the information, perhaps a medium that that VAST MAJORITY of their viewers use.

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

I have over 6,000 hours in Dota2.

The Alters isn’t out yet. Expected release Q1 2025. It’s on my wish list because I love the demo.

Indika they were just the publisher. On top of which, maybe has a story that not everyone is interested in. I watched these guys play it, https://youtu.be/MuiHtAYOqgI and while it’s creative and it’s overall a fantastic game, is not one I’m going to play myself.

The Thaumaturge, again they are just the publisher. I hadn’t even heard of this one which means as the publisher they did a terrible job marketing it.

They hire psychologists to explicitly figure out how to better make sales. Logical thinking will not win. Microtransactions, which consists of crap you don’t need, is a billion dollar industry and has bankrupted numerous homes.

Yeah, most of those sites end up recommending the same brands over and over, which causes people to buy them and talk about them. I don’t want to say, a scam, but it feels… scummy.

They never talk about other brands like Ubiquiti. Which isn’t a perfect brand either, but I’ve never seen it compared. Or even a low end Netgate. It’s always TP-Link, Asus, Netgear, Linksys, or D-Link… the same brands that have existed for the last 20 years offering crap. But Ubiquiti, Hawking, Belkin, etc. you basically never see.

I just googled it. Top 3 sites were wired.com, pcmag.com, and reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking (with a top comment pointing to cnet.com and nytime.com). And if you guessed TP-Link was recommended no.1 on all of them, you’d be right. To me, with the absolute garbage reviews on all of them, and the stupidity small sample size, it feels like TP-Link just buys the reviews because customers will read the reviews and buy their garbage. There was a mattress company that did something very similar years ago. The deck is stacked against customers.

And especially scummy, is TP-Link offers some cheaply made, highly marked up garbage that underperforms. They also are notorious for not delivering consistent updates to their routers. Maybe one or two updates, and they certainly don’t care if all the features don’t work. Just looked up one I bought from them before I wised up, the Archer C5400. 2 updates on a $200 router, that came highly recommended. Checked the v2, and also just 2 updates. I doubt it’ll ever see another.

On top of their terrible support and pathetic hardware… they also moved to a cloud SaaS config model. They want you to sign up for an account and use TP-Link Tether. Here’s something written up 3 years ago on [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/tbthjj/psa_newer_tplink_routers_send_all_your_web/}

My general suggestion for most people who want something that just works and is easy to use… the Ubiquiti Dream router isn’t a bad option. It’s not the best, but if you don’t want to really get into how networking works, it’s a good option.

This constantly gets repeated, but I’ve yet to see proof of it.

How? The 7 and 10 are among the better received versions of Windows, for stability, performance, hardware compatibility, etc. What was your experience with Vista that was so good and 7 and 10 being so bad?

I know some of those people that never stop talking or always on their phone.

I’ve asked them to stop. I’ve told them to stop. I’ve pointed out that if it was somebody else doing it, they’d be pissed off because someone else is ruining their time. They have zero fucks to give.

I hate Windows 11, for a multitude of reasons. But it is still a better experience than Vista. An unbelievably better than Windows ME. Windows ME for me was the worst desktop OS I think I’ve ever used. If we open it up to just any old OS, then I want to say Novell was the worst I ever used.

I’ve repeatedly heard that they could operate at a loss for decades and be fine… But I’ve never actually seen real numbers to back that up.

Nintendo has increasingly become a problem over there last decade. From taking down tournaments, going after YouTubers, the predatory partner program that they ran for a bit, them suing everybody in sight. Them being anti-emulation but then being found to use emulation that was created by a third party and profiting off of it.

I’ve already decided I’m not buying the next console. I’m done with that company. I look forward, genuinely, to innate file for bankruptcy. To me they’re a lot like Bizzard. Both of these companies are not the same company they were 20 years ago.

Completely agree.

I mean there so many videos like this https://youtube.com/shorts/FgzbCJYCBr8 that dude is devastated. Or this ‘classic’ https://youtube.com/shorts/qj0zsL68Ka8 or this or guy https://youtube.com/shorts/j3PWef89kPw

I could keep going, it’s not that hard videos like that’s and I wish it was.

Just for a pallet cleanser, look how happy this do is to find out that he is the father. https://youtube.com/shorts/PfRR5iKE70Q

Honestly, Blizzard died off a long time ago. That’s not even a joke. Activision Blizzard is shown as being founded in 2008. The company name and its IP is basically just got sold off in used.

The cells ability to produce power is directly related to how much light it gets. You’d be able to measure it. Take a reading as is. Then remove the weeds, take a reading. Then clean it, take a reading. Then point it at the sun so it’s as perpendicular as you can get it, take a reading. Each time you should see an increase in output.

Panels on the ground that people are going to walk in (or drive) are going to be prone to damage. I’m fact, they’ve already done ground solar panel installations and they’ve all failed as far as I know. When placed above, you don’t need to over engineer it to survive things. Concrete, can handle a lot more wear and tear, as well as being easy to repair and recycles really well.

Basically, there’s an objectively better way to use the panels.

Can’t have you accessing skins and items they plan to sell!

Viscose is absolutely fine.

Most of these comments can be reduced to either

1. I use CLI by the way…

2. Hating on vscode because it’s Microsoft product and for no other reason.

A Gitlab/GitHub account is free. Vscode absolutely lets you type git commands if you prefer that, The GUI only provides access to the most common actions you will do. And I could be wrong on this, but I feel like the discard button does prompt the user that the files will be permanently deleted and you have to click okay. But maybe that only applies to tracked files, not sure off the top of my head.
