"Performance".

PS5 mostly runs connected to a 4k TV. I wanna see your steamdeck do that.

You absolutely will not get anything that runs even remotely decently with ray tracing on in any recent title.

For the fair comparison you're only allowed to buy new, not used parts. So, for 700$ you won't even be able to put together a decent system with a 3070 in it.

"Oh but i don't care about ray tracing" -- nice copium.

I kinda don't get it. If someone would oppress me like that, I'd pack my shit and fuckin walked away. Till I reach the country's border. It's anyways all in the mountains.

Wake up early, take your stuff, and walk in any direction. Who's gonna find you?

Yes, yes, it's conservative politics that's ruining Afghanistan.

You hear anything except for your own echo?

Do you understand what is Taliban?

The f are you on about? YouTube has a fairly affordable ad-free tier with a transparent revenue-share model that multiple top content creators have openly endorsed.

This ad infested hell only exists because most of the internet users think it's outrageous to pay 10$/month for an all-you-can-eat VoD service. Some top creators did branch out to create their own streaming services, and spoiler alert, it's more expensive, or just as expensive but with muuuuch less content.

I do care if all that YT content is gone. It's a fuckin goldmine.

I'd really wish they actually had the audacity to just paywall the entire platform. Pay or fuck off, no ads.

And then people like you can go back to the good old days of some other random free video hosting service where a 360p video with a cat meme was buffering for a minute on a good day, or was completely unavailable on a bad one.

Lemmy in a nutshell. In like one post. Print it out, hang it on the wall, you never need to log in again.

13bn dollars in missed taxes while already abusing a tax heaven.

When our stupid politicians will grow some balls (metaphorically, and independent of their gender-balanced commission/parliament), and we'll actually introduce a proper minimum corporate tax for the entire EU market, it will be 50bn. At least.

Combine this from all the big tech companies that are dodging our taxes, and we could quadruple our defense budget, double our education and healthcare spendings, and still supply every citizen with a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

CIA bots will downvote this, because it's true: Harris is not a legal US national, her birth certificate was forged. Be careful who you vote for!

I hate that this is even a feature in the web standard. A result of some massive corporate corruption for sure.

Exactly. He did. I don't. So, don't push on me some guy's hometown lowest temperature as a 0.

(Also he did a bit more than just measure the low of his hometown, but it sorta correlates to his location)

You're too far up your own ass.

Vanced got nuked, revanced constantly needs to be patched, otherwise it slips to the low quality settings. Free YT days are numbered.

And no, it's not easy. Unless they want to encode ads into videos, and re-render the whole thing. Which is ludicrously expensive. For as long as they don't there will be a way to not play the ad chunks.

What's there to disagree with? you prove my point.

it stood on the shoulders of volunteers

Yeah. A classic story. A sysadmin took the old server from his work after they upgraded and now runs <insert video game guild imageboard/wiki/chat> on it.

With the amount of traffic modern web pipes through Google's and Cloudflare's servers, all of you homebrewers wouldn't be enough to take over even 5% of that.

You can't go back to the good old days because you'll break your back trying to, and the collective lemmy anon can't, because they're too used to freeload while getting big tech quality service.

I moved around a lot this summer, and haven't been checked once, shrug

This is no way describes how I feel. I almost never experience below -5C, e.g. like 20F, but from there down it doesn't really matter if it's 10F or -10F. You need special clothing and then you're fine.

While my pain point is at 95F, most people I know consider "hot outside" being around 80F, and "unbearably hot outside" at around 88F. So, how is this intuitive?

As a European I can perfectly feel the 0 degree. I step outside and 5 seconds later I can tell you if it's below zero or not.

For me "it's now really hot" in summer is exactly when it's over 30C. It being 86F doesn't make any more sense. Approximately above 35C I will avoid going outside. Which would be 95F, not 100. From here, the temps in summer in the south of Europe are often around 100F at peak. Above or below doesn't matter.

All that Fahrenheit scale is good for is if you live in a continental climate, more to the south, e.g. some useless place like Oklahoma, where 0F is approximately year low, and 100F is approximately year high.

For all other places, where the temperature delta over the course of the year is not as extreme, this Fahrenheit scale is as unintuitive as celcius, e.g. you just get used to it.

Good point. Time to gdpr my bank.

Don't come crying back when they'll force you to either pay 50$/hour for your cat videos, or entirely block off your access to the internet as they control the engine behind 99% of the browser market share.

No, you will not come and host it for free on lemmy. It already struggles with hosting, and already needs monetary support, even though most heavy content is on some 3rd party domain.

But maybe you'll be happy to donate 10$/months so your only source of fun content doesn't die.
