I can't remember this sports without a hydration break (half time). So they've been mandatory for a long time.

Outlawing user tracking/profiling and selling their data would be the biggest change to the internet.

It's an older card running on high/ultra quality settings in those benchmarks. I would be more interested in low/medium settings.

1080 here with 7950X3D+96GB.

Touch goes in there as well. I don't know how they add a new touch keyboard to KDE and have no access to arrow keys. Making it impossible to go up in the terminal.

I'm fine with AI music having AI videos.

But I have never cared about a video when it comes to music.

It is also simple to download from the streaming services so to me things got as simple as pasting a link in the terminal to rip to no internet places like a car

Am I missing something? I can click the 'article' but its a big picture and a single paragraph. That reads like a picture description.

I can only blame them for moving to RT only with their new Doom when they had insane performance on their previous games. Many toasters could easily hit 60fps in high settings.

The same as youtubes removal of dislikes and more recently they disabled search results with newest results first.

Now I ignore a user based on other criteria (account age post/comment karma + a 50 times compressed repost)

The world has better places to offer. The past 20 years have only reinforced my stance no need to try.

My friends experiences visiting family (before Trump) have confirmed them multiple times. Imagine visiting family as a 17 year old German and then being questioned for 11 hours because you don't know the exact street where the family lives. While the relative is waiting at the airport without any kind of information.

No idea you guys make up prices and devices when I made my choices years ago?

All I can give you is my reasoning for picking it. Not giving google my money is always a plus in my book.

America can't be trusted since the patriot act - the day I said to myself I'll never visit.

And I can't trust my gov to grow some balls and say we will no longer negotiate with a senile old child raping man baby.

I can't even trust any company having their workers include or upload my data to a free AI model.

gOS stops supporting a device when its EOL.

A cheaper 6a would be EOL next year.

They also came later vs 6/6Pro

My phone is a couple of years old at this point. A Pixel 7 was the newest i think. I don't care about cameras, I don't care about specs. All I need is listed.

My phone would have a screen time of a few mins per day. I can't stand doing anything on these tiny touch screens or browsing the web on a phone screen.

My xperia 10 iii was 280€(+50€ OS) vs 500€++ for a pixel.

But I hate phones. All I want is navigation, sms/call, signal, steam and firefox.

My PC runs proxmox (multiple gpus) and a remote in homeassistant triggers a shutdown and start command for the streaming VM (bazzite booting into gamescope). Instead of picking jellyfin on the firetv stick I select moonlight.

Wake on Lan is also a thing.

-> I have a steam machine since 2023.
