Dang that sucks, I guess I’m one of the lucky Americans that has decent (for American standards) time off options. This year I’ll get about 17 days paid time off and about 17 days unpaid time off

Calling the pixel 9 unaffordable when it’s literally the cheapest flagship in the market.

My friend uses roku and I found it hilariously dystopian that the screen saver is basically just an artistic side scrolling city scape with billboards that advertise shit shows and movies you can stream or pay for.

Plex/Jellyfin is the only way to go.

The us would probably enter war to stop it, Taiwan is pretty valuable to us

I’m just happy people identifying as religious is dropping overall in the US. I’m fairly young and I really hope before I die it’s under 30%.

I gotcha, thanks for sharing. It’s cool hearing from people who are so far away!

I wanted to go with a pi for my HTPC but I have a Plex server and all my movies are full bitrate 4k files straight from the UHD blurays and the pi couldn’t handle that bitrate. Ended up building a small ITX PC with my old PC hardware and a new Intel A380 gpu.

I’m so thankful intel is doing their best to enter the discreet GPU market. Such banger cards for so little.

That’s crazy! If you don’t mind me asking what do you typically do on your machine and how much time do you spend on it?

I’m just curious because I spend a lot of time on my PC and can only imagine how horrible all the stuff I do would be on that hardware lol

“AI heavily increased GPU prices” Nvidia one of the greediest companys around increased the prices of GPUs, not necessarily AIs fault because nvidia is in direct control of their card prices.

Take a look at Intel’s new GPUs, they are actually priced in a way that isn’t fist fucking the consumer.

I still order from them although it’s definitely gotten worse and the website feels like It was designed exclusively by the marketing team and high-up executives instead of web engineers.

Honestly, I typically gravitate towards Amazon over Newegg these days, but Newegg does have a lot more options for computer hardware, so I still order from them. I just ordered an ITX motherboard and SFX power supply from newegg yesterday actually because amazom didn’t have the products I wanted.

Thanks for the quick deep dive nfo

Shows 2 for me

I gave it a shot within the first year it came out, only ever played ~10 hours and just didn’t find it that fun I suppose.

Same, my most played game ever. I find it funny, at least to me, a game from 2007 thats barely supported by the dev is significantly better than the other modern derivatives of tf2 like overwatch and marvel bandwaggon money maker.

I 100% agree with you, I actually don’t think parents should be legally allowed to homeschool unless they get a real teaching education themselves

But this doesn’t sound like that. This sounds like a model that is using external tools made by humans like Khan Academy to actually do the teaching and just uses the AI model to process how well the person doing the course is understanding it.

I would be willing to bet serious money that a kid in this program would get a better education than a homeschooler, Because exactly like your earlier point, the vast majority of homeschool parents that teach their kids are fucking morons and only have their kids homeschooled because they’re fucking morons.

Valve dosnt really “own” SteamOS. They maintain and update SteamOS, but SteamOS is free and open source

Plus just about everbody who knows anything about valve would tell you they are probably the most consumer friendly billion dollar company ever, and have been for decades. So yes even if they owned it like microsoft owns windows it would still be better

ROCM works mostly well in replacement of CUDA, and it gets better and better every year

End to end encrypted, I think chat control is all about client-side scanning so the app being open source is a big deal and would prevent client-side scanning because even if they build in client-side scanning, it’s open source and people can remove it.
