RuneScape: I can’t believe I played the game after the removal of free trade. It was such a poorly run game, and I’m can’t believe anyone still plays it anymore. It’s unbelievable how arrogant mod MacDonalds was, and that I only quit in 2011 after I got scammed trying to sell the account.

League of Legends: this is another case of really great game, but incredibly poorly managed. Having Phreak be the balance lead just feels like shit, and made me feel like shit because I kept playing thinking it’d get better. This is a very global, very competitive game that was balanced around competitive play and optimizing spectator happiness. You can guess just how fun it was to play a character that was deemed “unfun to watch in worlds” and get absolutely gutted by Phreak’s team. The opposite was also hilariously true… they buffed certain characters so they’d sell more skins or because spectators like watching them. I finally quit after having to swap my main several times because they nerfed or reworked it and left me playing something else several times.

They really put themselves in an awkward position with the Watch Ultra… they had to discontinue the classic 1.5” display option to not draw sales away from the ultra… when they could’ve just given the ultra the rotating bezel or Digital Crown in the first place.

If you’ve already waited this long and your MacBook is still working, I’d definitely just wait and save for the M5. If you weren’t planning to get top spec, now’s your chance to save for it. Since you kept your last one so long, it’s worth it in the long run.

Been an avid Rogan listener since 2018: that’s all he ever talks about if the guest even remotely mentions COVID or politics. He has so many complaints that revolve around personal freedoms where he’s not self aware enough to realize that he has made something like half a billion dollars and he’s still unhappy because he can’t find a way to have fun with the money he’s made. The amount of money he has, he could literally disappear and never have another monetary problem in his life. Literally he could buy his comedian compound in the middle of nowhere and just enjoy it, but he can’t because he doesn’t actually have friends that would want to do something that stupid; he can’t even get his friends to all move to Austin.

I live 6 hours from Vegas and I’ve gotten 3 cold calls within 30 days offering me a gigantic discount to stay in Vegas. While it’s tempting, I definitely wouldn’t choose Vegas over something like Santa Monica or San Diego unless there was free food involved.

Type C has such a satisfying click when plugging something in.

If it’s poorly made… there are houses in Europe that have been continuously owned longer than the USA has existed.

I so strongly disagree with that. The Snapdragon 7 gen 4 in the Fairphone6 is roughly on par with the Snapdragon 888 from 2020 (S21 series). You couldn’t pay me to daily drive an S21 Ultra, let alone pay 67% of an S25 (a mid cycle phone) for a phone with a 4 year old performance profile. 600$ can be a used S24 Ultra.

Android app devs just don’t optimize their apps enough that I’d be comfortable rocking this phone 3 years from now, which if I did, I’d be using a 7 year old processor at that point. No one in their right mind should have a phone that old.

My use case: I have an M3 MacBook, but a much more flexible and powerful gaming PC that I'd like to hook up to my MacBook to act as a display receiver with zero/low latency. I make use of the MacOS virtual desktops and would ideally want to be able to fullscreen an app that just sits there and will display the input when I turn on my PC.

Same thing under Linux: I'd like to connect a console to the gaming PC which then displays on MacOS. I don't play any competitive console games, so I'm not necessarily worried about a small amount of latency (<50ms).

Currently, I have both my Linux gaming PC and MacBook connected to the same monitor, but have to switch between the inputs on the monitor itself. I want to be able to be within MacOS/Linux and just flip on a display input and connect my peripherals to the other PC and use it seamlessly, for example, I'd connect my controller and boot into Steam Big-Screen and game. If I need to web search something, I can just use my trackpad to change virtual desktops, do something, then swap back.

Is there something like a lightweight OBS that will ONLY display the input once it's all set up? I want the app window to be literally the Menu Bar with Close/Maximize and nothing else so I can just fullscreen the app and never see anything but the input itself.

 

Kovi loves the attention 🙂

I’m wondering how I can use cGPT in a particular usecase and if so how can I go about feeding training data to it?

Whati am trying to accomplish: I want to be able to supply cGPT with a music file (.ogg or .mp3) and get an accuracy of .001 BPM as to what the BPM of a song is. Huge bonus points if it can also print out at which second (down to .001 sec) where a BPM would change in a song.
