Should be higher up. I knew instinctively it wasn’t the US for reasons … but I did kinda hope.

Well you see your honor: the hand is connected to the arm… And we have the right to bear arms so…

Tech Jesus does not fuck around. Jokes aside- it’s a good channel.

It’s a new ai with 2 extra layers to double check the previous prompts! Who could have possibly foreseen this advance in the field?!

disclaimer: I have 0 idea how many layers they used but I am reasonably certain they just voltron’d that shit.

People are converting. Not entirely on its own merit, of course: Its competition repeatedly is enshitifying the user experience and pushing people to try other options. Combine that with steam and their work on linux’s compatibility layer and you get most of the movement.

That said once you hit a certain market share developers become more willing to port or provide binaries for the growing platform. It can accelerate further from there. Linux mainstream isn’t there yet but it’s starting to get in striking distance of its competition.

The tops in boys. Short everything. Capitalism has finally reached the endgame.

Good.

That gave me abandoned vibes when I looked into it. Maybe they just didn’t update anything on their site but I struggled to find any recent info or reviews on it. A shame honestly. I loved the idea.

… both Microsoft products … weird.

Be cautious with the commercial display route. A lot of them come with “management system” software the company is trying to push which can paywall control features or break things on you if they get online for firmware updates.

In general though they do make good displays: they are typically a lot more expensive (and heavy!)

It seems we have similar backend setups 🏴‍☠️

I’ll need to dig into an android solution a bit - smarttube seems pretty nice but has no Linux version unfortunately.

This is the case with Rokus as well. If you also redirect or block the hard coded DNS (Google) from bypassing your local DNS it starts to get extremely sluggish over time… presumably from background processes repeatedly resending requests out.

Depends on your blocklist. It would freak out every so often on me when I was preventing it from bypassing my DNS with its hard coded ones until I added in a forced redirect instead.

Currently trying that for the same reasons you are tempted. Roku was passable and even a good choice years ago and it’s on a precipitous race to the bottom now.

Problem for me currently is finding a non windows solution that is navigable from a controller or remote is … tough. Steam, emulation station, Kodi all have reasonable interfaces but there seems to be a gap in a unified launcher solution (as well as a decent ‘app’ for accessing YouTube.) I really don’t want to spin up a single VM for each activity when they all in theory should play nice together.

Go easy on the farmers it’s not their fault John Deere has conditioned them to do that.

Once upon a time I think they were largely harmless … but once they started leaning into profit over quality they went rotten in a hurry. Exactly why I’m concerned with mozilla’s path.

A better statement should be: you should remain vigilant and light on attachment to any banner. If an ill wind blows and you don’t like it, it’s time to move. Control your data- aspire to be a digital nomad.

Firefox isn’t without it’s own issues, recently. Google used to be viewed as a paragon once, too.

Investors are already souring on the AI cost to value return. This is no longer a rush to capitalize on free money - it’s a panic dash to discover something that produces profit before the bubble bursts.

There won’t be bailouts for failed ventures. See the dotcom bubble for comparison. These are exuberant investors expecting massive returns “soon” and getting told “eh… it’s just 2 to 5 more years away.” That wasn’t priced into the expansion of these stocks price. Once it starts to crumble it will be a mad dash to the door to not be the guy holding the bag.

Personally I think that Nvidia may have fucked themselves. They are valued at 10x what they were and have gone nearly all in on hyperconverged ai infrastructure. Thanks to their acquisitions and design choices they have made it a walled garden. Meanwhile most other manufacturers are investing in open architecture to take them on. If this gambit fails they will be struggling to find market share in a world hostile to their entire stack. This is how giants fall.
