I just grab an app that lets it increment by amounts other than 10%. Not as good, but doesn't need root. If I gotta change the volume by alot, I drag the bar. Otherwise I just leave the button at 1% increments. Cuz yeah, my volume is like 1% to 5% most of the time, until I need to watch a youtube video, then it's like 70%... then the next thing I do on my phone after the youtube video renders me temporarily deaf and everyone within a mile glares at me.... and I turn my volume back down to 5% or less again.
Not sure why every single other thing on the phone uses a different standard for volume than video does.... just a new loudness war I guess.
That looks a lot more expensive than just a VR headset and a recliner or bed you likely already own. And in VR you can pick whether it's 3 monitors, or one seamless curved triple-wide, no matter what you own in real life. And you can keep the monitor(s) with you when you stand up if you want.
But, what I'm curious about... how is this a "shoes on" occasion?
There is a reason they chose that as their screen name. I don't know if they built that account as a troll, or if they got told their opinions are wrong so often in life that having "opinions" became their whole identity. Anytime I see someone with the most "swimming against the current" ideas, I look up, and there is that name again. At this point, I'm very much rooting for troll, as their life would suck even more if it's all genuine. As much as the life of a troll would suck already.
Hehe yeah, it's basically an advanced form of the game where you type one word and then keep hitting whatever autocomplete suggests in the top spot for the next word. It's pretty good at that, but it is just that, taken to an extreme degree, and effectively trained on everyone's habits instead of just one person.
Some of them are automatic, in that they use the deceleration from letting off the trigger to let out more string. So if you have one of those ones and are constantly turning it on and off in short spurts, it would eat up string pretty fast. Best to do a swath and only let off when you want more string or are completely done. The automatic ones tend to be more intended for heavy duty use, rather than single yard use.
The main difference there is that they can be unfamiliar with that country and believe what they are told about it.
Hard to be unfamiliar with the country you grew up in, and only 30% of the population is willing to believe what they are being told about it now despite their life experiences not showing that to be the case. I mean since when have those types of people been "scared" of Californians?
I game on one virtual representation of my real monitor at 4k60hz, and one entirely virtual monitor at 4k120hz. When I am playing a game my sister wants to watch, I play it on the screen that also exists in real life. When I am playing just for me, I play it on the 120hz screen. They are one on top of each other, at the touch of a button they swap exact places with each other. I put the one I'm playing on currently at the bottom.
The main reason I do top/bottom is because the screens are quite large. About the equivalent of sitting a foot away from my real 55 inch TV, but the screens are 20 feet away for eye comfort. So I can effectively only see one screen at a time as they each nearly fill my vision. As big as they can be without having to turn my neck to see parts of them. The top monitor is tilted down towards me, and basically on the roof. Oh, I should mention I generally play from a recliner when playing desktop games, so even the lower monitor is tilted down to face me.
When I want to play something in ultra-wide, the virtual screen can be set to 5740x1080 at 120hz(equal to 3 1080p screens side by side, but as one screen, flat or curved to any degree you want), but for the most part anything that works in ultra-wide works in VR, and full VR is likely gonna be the better option.
Although most of the time I'm playing full VR games and standing to play them. No apparent screens there, just living in the game.
If you do come across something you really want to try on github, and it doesn't have a pre-compiled version. It's actually not that scary to compile it yourself. If they don't give any instructions for compiling it, that generally means you can leave everything as default on the compiler. You can change any optional settings to tailor it to your use case. Generally just looking at the options and reading the helpful hints, it all ends up being pretty self-explanatory. But of course, if anything gives you trouble, there are plenty of places to get help too.
This was in project 2025, none of them are surprised, it's literally the next step in the plan they showed us. It's too bad that document was 900 pages and took too long to make summaries of that people's attention span lapsed by the time they were available. If you want to stop being surprised, summaries have been available since within the week it was originally posted though.
There are a couple relatively safe places on 4 chan. But like 90% of the content makes for great "don't do this if you want to get along with humans" training.
And the goal of training an AI is that it does want to get along with humans.
They are essentially a fun toy for most people, and an ok tool for people with the patience and training to get useful output from them. And they cost an insane amount of money to train and an insane amount of power to run.
Not to mention the other cost of training them, the human emotional cost. And the human cost of running them.
It just costs so much of a variety of things, for an output that has barely made anything better. Maybe they might get "better" in the future, and have to get through this stage to get there, but I've also seen a lot of people saying they appear to be starting to plateau... maybe a temporary plateau, but if so, how temporary? Could we just drop it for 10 years and start back up when they won't be as inefficient? Maybe a law that they have to pay for everything they feed it, would effectively cause them to only emerge at a time when they are actually feasible.
Possibly, I'd have to see if they can be taken apart. From memory, I don't recall exactly what the handle fastener looked like, but it seemed like an unadjustable system.
