“We and our 855 partners blah blah blah.”

Odd that theverge decided to post this article. Not too stoked about 850 companies asking for my data in order to see an article about predatory business practices.

Can’t always wear cargo lol

Not with that attitude.

Legit question: how is that different conceptually to the random individuals all running Prime95? Could that not also be referred to as a cloud supercomputer?

If there’s one thing you wanna look strong in front of, it’s nuclear fallout.

I hope they release more Smartypants soon. “When is the happiest birthday?” and “No thank you the ocean” are fucking incredible, but honestly it’s all gold.

More specifically, the only source the article even gives is a link to a reddit post with a screenshot of the tweet, of which doesn’t have a direct link to the tweet. This is half assed journalism at best, considering they even quoted the original screenshot wrong.

Edit: lol they couldn’t even get the person’s name straight. It changed from Robert Stevenson to Anderson after the email portion. Why’s this article even here?

I do not like to add AI.

I would not like it here or there.

I would not like it anywhere.

I would not add it in a handbag.

I would not, could not, in a car.

Not to a baby, not to a helmet.

Not in my house, Not on a mouse.

I do not like to add AI.

I do not now, nor ever will I.

Do you hear me Microsoft?

Take your AI and fuck off.

Yeah the Steam refund 2 hour thing is just the no questions asked guaranteed refund window. You can absolutely request a refund outside of that window and they’ll be quite reasonable in most cases.

That’d be pretty funny if that was the case, because Craftopia (Pocketpair’s first game, released before Legends Arceus was announced) also did the monster collection mechanic in the exact same way as Palworld.

I’ll happily settle for any amount more physical buttons. It sucks to listen to music using my phone because I can’t skip, replay or pause songs without using the touch screen.

Having a pull out cup holder seems insane to me, my personal rule is no drinks near my pc at all.

That said, I have a drawer in place of my cd drive that holds all my small peripherals (thumb drives, usb to sd card adapter, stuff like that) and it’s great.

This sounds pedantic, but honestly I just think the language of it is very interesting:

Any number can be dozens, except 1 or -1.

0 dozens, Pi dozens, 4.5 dozens, 1 dozen.

And now the word dozen has lost all visual meaning to me.

For a second I thought this was about Stardew Valley and that I would get higher star crops by rotating them through the season.

Easy fix:

Dude, where’s my car keys?

Tree style tabs is cool, but sidebery is where it’s fucking at.

Vertical tabs, groups, automatically open certain sites in specific container tabs, pin tabs to the top or unload them.

Everything I could possibly want for tab organization, even down to a fully adjustable css file with a great UI for getting that shit pixel perfect.

Jokes on them, my TV can’t connect to the internet anymore because of the the bloat added by Roku in automatic updates.

I think you could do that with openrgb and both the visual map plugin (same link as I posted before) and hardware sync. I haven’t specifically tried it, but from what I have done, I think it’s quite doable.

Use visual map to create individual control over numpad lights (as opposed to keeping them grouped up with the rest of the keyboard, which gives less options), and then in theory you should be able to map any temp reading to any key that you’ve separated from the group.

There’s more than just temps as options too. Poking through, I saw stuff like power draw and clock speeds, ram usage/availability, and ethernet throughput. Could be fun to map stuff like that, though likely that would have less utility in most situations.

Responding to temperatures is useful but I think that might require a little more scripting.

Hardware Sync Plugin can help with this: https://openrgb.org/plugins.html

Adds a new tab in openrgb where you can set a hardware item, a light output and then make a color (and brightness maybe?) gradient by just inputting a few numbers and colors, and openrgb will do all the fading in between. I have my GPU temp set to my motherboard light. Compared to my rainmeter setup, it’s easier to get a general vibe at a glance and more eye catching if it gets unusually hot.

RGB ram and other PC internals are definitely a scam, but you can put them to use if you already have them.

I use OpenRGB (an rgb program) to set my built in motherboard rgb light to be a color gradient based on my GPU temperature (ie: minimum temp is cyan, and fades green/yellow/red for higher temps). Not distracting cause it doesn’t ever have major temperature changes in a short time, and it’s pretty convenient as a general monitor when I’m playing games.

Definitely not a selling point for rgb internals, but a neat usage if you already have it.

I love rgb on my keyboard though. Color coded keys are a godsend for me to break up letters/numbers/punctuation.
