I just got cable again after not having it for… 13 years?

I don’t even get the point of it. It’s the exact same thing it was 13 years ago. Same shows and everything. Ads. I tried to watch it a few times and I think I’ve watched a total of 2 hours since I got it a month ago. It’s awful.

The funny thing is there are lots of things that are designed better on Linux vs Windows/macos too.

My memory is fading on some of them since I primarily use Windows for work and a steam deck for gaming now, but keyboard shortcuts was definitely one of them. Easier to get shit done automation-wise from simple scripts. CMD is so basic and PowerShell feels like my fingers are exhausted from doing a simple thing, and like you always need to write a paragraph to get a simple thing done.

I’m sorry, I would be really impressed if you shit a rocket at a demon in doom eternal and it exploded and all kinds of shits flying around but you noticed the reflection of another around a corner on a shiny wall at the same time. There might be like 4 frames of this captured.

Yes, I play a lot of FPS games. I have an ultra wide monitor and 144Hz.

Not to mention, raster is capable of doing these things, it’s just not “as realistic”. I’ve watched several comparison videos.

But we can do these reflections with raster already? And you skipped my point. You mention walking down a hall. I said when I’m running and gunning and shits exploding. You’re turning and focusing on shooting an enemy or something, there’s no way I’m noticing or paying attention to a reflection of an enemy down a hall.

Oh shit. Didn’t know this either. Kind of like ipv6 in a way

Weird, I only get this with windows hello.

But seriously windows 11 has so many shitty fucking bugs. All my computer’s except my work computer are mac or Linux. It really opens the eyes to how poorly built windows is these days.

The best part is, for me, ray tracing looks great. When I’m standing there and slowly looking around.

When I’m running and gunning and shits exploding, I don’t think the human eye is even capable of comprehending the difference between raster and ray tracing at that point.

Have a 2070s. Been thinking for a while now my next card will be AMD. I hope they get back into the high end cards again :/

When they are good.

Another problem I have is multifactor apps. Can I get duo on a Linux phone? Or banking apps? Some software sends notifications to the phone to log in on a computer, for example.

I’m sure I could get around it, but ultimately I just want a good camera.

There were protections in the first place?

Are you asleep? EVERYONE ASKED FOR AI IN ALL THE THINGS!

Ok I’ve had it. After decades I’m finally going to watch this.

Ya that works too. At the time I discovered it I was using piped for a long time already. Greyjay had some more bells and whistles and the UI is more overwhelming at first. It also had a big that was annoying and functioned fine in piped so I stuck with that in the end. Also greyjay is a massive app by comparison if you care about that.

Sounds like the department of vulnerabilities.

If you’re on Android, get pipepipe from f-droid.

Not only is it a way better and more functional YouTube app, it doesn’t do ads.

This is their way to try and get you into their money making fold.

Great idea. Eventually, and if enough ask, it could be a thing.

Domain or azure ad join is what I’m used to, but for personal machines and friends/family I do local accounts.

I haven’t used windows home in decades, I deal with new installs of pro/enterprise all the time. You have to jump hoops now to create a local account.

Oh this is a good callout, I’m definitely using wired and not wireless.
