My portfolio disagrees.

Y'all should have bought BTC when the price was hovering around $19K about 3 years ago. I told you the price was going to go up, but no one listened. Now it's at $105K, I'm $60k richer, and y'all are still whining and complaining that it's a "scam".

Hate to break it to you, but bitcoin isn't to crash and burn anytime soon. It's still early; buy in now or regret it for the rest of your life.

Seems to me that you got an early or cheaper HDR display, then. To me the difference is night and day.

FWIW, HDR does its best work if you have a display that can do true blacks. If you don't have an OLED, mini LED, or full array, you're going to have a hard time noticing the difference, especially if you don't know what you're looking for. HDR works best in either extremely dark or bright scenes, so having a display with a near infinite contrast ratio is important.

Here's a hint for any display: Look at some HDR clouds while you toggle HDR on and off. You'll definitely notice the difference there. Also check the teals. It's less obvious but SDR displays can't do a proper teal.

Frame Generation adds input lag, but I haven't heard of any upscaling algorithms causing issues.

Yes we are but don't act like your shit doesn't stink too. We're all victims of heavy propaganda.

What kind of out of the box things?

Yes except simpler because you don't have to build a library of content. The plug-ins do it for you.

A Debrid service downloads torrents and uploads them to various file hosting websites, allowing you to directly download any active torrent at speeds up to 1Gbps. If the torrent you want isn't in their database (because it's less popular), then it behaves like a torrent client, except since it's running on a server you can shut down your PC and go about your day as it downloads in the background. Most torrents with at least a half dozen seeds are usually immediately available for direct download.

It doesn't really protect your privacy, per se, but it gets your ISP off your back because in most jurisdictions they don't care how much you download illegally, so long as you're not distributing the files, like you would with a torrent client. (Sharing pirated files is how they get you.)

The bad news is that these services also hit and run, so by using one you're not helping the health of the torrent. I wish they didn't do that, but I'm so used to having any file I want delivered quickly that I'm willing to sell part of my soul to have the convenience.

Do you have a higher res copy that isn't so difficult to read?

The irony of poking fun of UK state media, while posting a link to a website controlled by Chinese state media.

Fair, but I'm mostly interested in how they feel about modern AAA games, with their path tracing and HDR support and whatnot.

That's why I like Perplexity; I can just check the sources it used for accuracy. Unfortunately they have a garbage privacy policy, but I use a private DNS with good tracking filters so I'm only mildly concerned.

Nice; how much sex do they need to have to pass the test?

Stremio is basically Netflix for torrents. Its interface is similar to the popular steaming apps.

Upon initial install it just looks like another paid steaming app with prices on all the content; the secret is to install plug-ins that allow you to steam torrents (Torrentio). Pair it with a Debrid service (like Real-Debrid) and you don't even have to wait for seeds. The show/movie starts playing instantly, just like the paid streaming apps. Like a Library of Babel for media, except it's real.

And the nice part about having a Debrid service is that it works any torrent, not just TV/movies. I have gigabit internet, so I can download literally any game I want in under an hour, even 100+ GB AAA titles.

Go to your local gun show, rodeo, or any expo/convention/event where rednecks congregate. I guarantee you'll find a vendor selling hats who is willing to adjust yours for a fee. As others have pointed out, you need a specialized machine and a shitload of steam.

TBF, that's not even a taco. He just put some of his food on a tortilla. It's a common thing to do in Mexican culture.

Because he always acts this way when someone asks him a question he doesn't like. Refuses to answer, then gaslights and calls them "nasty". Typical narcissist shit.

That's why I'm here! :D

The developer of my favorite reddit app (dBrady, Relay for Reddit) decided to play along with Spez's game and start charging for usage.

So I fucked off, and after testing every Lemmy app I could find, I settled on Voyager. It's not optimized for foldables like Relay—and it's swipe gestures aren't as intuitive—but it's close and still better than paying to use reddit.

Fuck reddit, and fuck Spez

Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a TV or stick running stock Android? (Or GoogleTV, which is literally just stock Android with a launcher designed for TVs.)

That's what I did, and I have no issues side-loading any app I want. If it's got an APK, it can be installed.

Fuck yeah, Stremio is the best. Everything is there. No smart TV owner should go without.

Protip: Install the Trakt.tv plugin to get viewing recommendations based on your viewing habits, and then you can cancel Prime Video. (And all other streaming platforms too.)

I couldn't even imagine what seeing PC games for the first time in 2025 feels like, after not seeing them since 2011.

Do you think they were blown away? Or maybe disappointed that we still don't have photorealistic graphics yet? I wish I could speak with this person so I could pick their brain.
