Nice advertising campaign for DDG. But I really respect search engines that do give you a choice whether to use AI or not, and decide other options under their hood. So good for them.

Let’s hope it was his Cybertruck.

They gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize based on vibes alone, in the beginning of his term. Even he was surprised, what a joke.

Sharknado?

DID ANYBODY ORDER FRIED SAUERKRAUT???

There was a window of opportunity.

I hate them too, but that style of thumbnail has been a major YT thing for like a decade. Avoid them like the plague, myself, and even mark them as “not interested”, “don’t recommend channel” for the more annoying ones. Probably ain’t much of an impact, but at least teaching the algo what not to show me.

5 BILLION DOLLARS

Frodo Bookings!

This is absolutely insane, and I don’t understand how it’s tolerated.

Netflix: Hold my beer

It’s the same people who ordered their soldiers to dig trenches in the irradiated soil close to Chernobyl, in the brief time they occupied it, at the start of Russia’s war. As long as it’s happening away from Putin and his kelptocracy circles, they don’t care about consequences to friends or foes, only how it will benefit them.

I’d more like put color e-ink into that category - as gimicky and half-baked technology building on a more established one (e-ink is doing quite well with readers, low-power displays, etc.)

Depends on your needs, really.

Disco Elysium. I haven’t played the Final Cut version, but I’ve kept consuming DE related media and fanart. I know why I’ve been postponing it - lack of free time, and hesitation to re-thread your trip toward something special, and maybe realize it’s a bit more trivialized to you now, or just doesn’t have the same impact, and you’ve wasted a good 30-40 hours for getting the same lessons and experiences you already had.

Yet, I’ll gladly waste 30-40 hours thinking over it. I’m weird.

I’ve found some, but they’re mostly obscure and older out-of-support stuff. But anecdotally something like less than 5% of my library didn’t work with it.

Or quality.

Bruh, my whole mid-to-high range gaming PC costs 850 to 2K euro. What is the intended use of such an expensive RAM kit? Is it LLMs again?

As many as 1,500 “ideological immigrants,” … have applied for temporary residence in Russia in the last year.

This is a hilariously small number for a big country, why are they even touting this?

If you’re sitting the average 2.5 meters away from a 44-inch set, a simple Quad HD (QHD) display already packs more detail than your eye can possibly distinguish. The scientists made it crystal clear: once your setup hits that threshold, any further increase in pixel count, like moving from 4K to an 8K model of the same size and distance, hits the law of diminishing returns because your eye simply can’t detect the added detail.

I commend them on their study of human eye “pixels-per-degree” perception resolution limit, but there are some caveats to the article title and their findings.

First of all, nobody recommends a 44-inch TV for 2.5 metres, I watch from the same distance and I think the minimum recommended 4k TV size for that distance was 55 inches.

Second, I’m not sure many QHD TVs are being offered, market mostly offers 4k or 1080p TVs, QHDs would be a small percentage.

And QHDs are already pretty noticable quality jump over 1080p, I’ve noticed on my gaming rig. So basically if you do the jump from 1080p to 4K, and watch 4k quality content, from the right distance - most people are absolutely gonna notice that quality difference.

For 8Ks I don’t know, you probably do get into diminishing returns there unless you have a wall-sized TV or watch it from very close.

But yeah, clickbaity titled article, mostly.
