This is so cute

fuck legit laughed out loud at this

Gaming PC is in the living room for gaming and media center.

Laptop in my office up stairs for programming and I use Steam Remote Play for games that require keybmouse. Its nice because I can just unplug it from my dock and head downstairs with it if I want to browse on the couch.

I have a tablet too, but that’s used solely for movies, YouTube, or when I’m DMing because the footprint is smaller.

Agreed, stop scrolling the comments and go read it random reader.

I used to get so excited by tech advances but now I’ve gotten to the point where its still cool and a fascinating application of science… but this stuff is legitimately existential. The author raises great points around it.

Im in the Vine program (basic not the premium tier) and they are actually very explicit that you need to review the product fairly and how you actually feel about it. Ive given out 3 and two stars before for cords that weren’t as advertised, shitty build, etc.

Granted, they DO want you to pump out a review for it within a month which is bad for longevity testing.

Of course, getting a product for “free” subconsciously probably makes reviewers a little more forgiving, which could be a problem.

For purely steam gaming and browser work, I’ve really liked Pop! OS.

Its definitely a nice to have feature. It didnt get regularly used because of wireless earbuds for me, but when I NEEDED it, it was always clutch. But I just keep a USB c dongle on my corded headphones now, its fine. Gets the job done.

Also for my wired IEMs, I use a wireless Bluetooth adapter. When I’m on the move I just need some noise not audiophile quality so its fine for me.

Great points! Thanks for expanding. I agree with your point that people most often want a recreation of what was perceived. Its going to make this whole AI enhanced eviidence even more nuanced when the tech improves.

Fantasitc expansion of my thought. This is something that isn’t going to be answered with an exact scientific value but will have to decided based on our human experiences with the tech. Interesting times ahead.

This actually opens an interesting debate.

Every photo you take with your phone is post processed. Saturation can be boosted, light levels adjusted, noise removed, night mode, all without you being privy as to what’s happening.

Typically people are okay with it because it makes for a better photo - but is it a true representation of the reality it tried to capture? Where is the line of the definition of an ai-enhanced photo/video?

We can currently make the judgement call that a phones camera is still a fair representation of the truth, but what about when the 4k AI-Powered Night Sight Camera does the same?

My post is more tangentially related to original article, but I’m still curious as what the common consensus is.

At least with the 12v to 120v it just won’t work instead of exploding

thanks, ill change it

Not in the US. In EEA* as pointed out by BaardFigur

Ive generally always agreed with the former comment, but I’ve heard this argument a few times and it does demonstrate the disconnect well. I’ve switched it up to a simple y’all.

I mean… a thick case? Thats what I’ve seen most commonly in the field. Old foreman with an old iPhone in an Otterbox that hasnt been cleaned in 2 years.

Easily the best actual watch with sensors option. Love mine, and being waterproof too is fantastic.

Man, the streamer Squeex has been playing GTA RP as Vivek “Ramasquamy” and it has ruined my ability to say his name normally.

Its honestly sad though that a streamer basing his satirical character on a real politician says shit that isnt as outlandish as the actual politician.

✌️ DAAAYYY ONEE ✌️

I actually use the ergo keyboard pictured in the thumbnail and I actually really like it. Not love, but for WHF CAD drafting its fantastic.

Like its all plastic build quality, and the buttons arent fantastic, but man is the built in wrist rest and the endless amount of availible keys It does its job great.

I hope they can maybe introduce higher quality materials, but I wont hold my breath. Overall this is a net positive buts its so weird how willing Microsoft is to cook up full products and axe official support seemingly randomly.

holy shit great point

I use my PC as a media machine in my living room. I absolutely use both. Twitch has the culture, while YouTube has the better video player.

Most importantly, just watch the streamer you want to watch live on the platform they choose.

I pay for YouTube premium so no ads there, and adblock works wonders for me and I don’t see ANY ads on twitch.
