  • Gaming PC is in the living room for gaming and media center.

    Laptop in my office up stairs for programming and I use Steam Remote Play for games that require keybmouse. Its nice because I can just unplug it from my dock and head downstairs with it if I want to browse on the couch.

    I have a tablet too, but that’s used solely for movies, YouTube, or when I’m DMing because the footprint is smaller.



  • Im in the Vine program (basic not the premium tier) and they are actually very explicit that you need to review the product fairly and how you actually feel about it. Ive given out 3 and two stars before for cords that weren’t as advertised, shitty build, etc.

    Granted, they DO want you to pump out a review for it within a month which is bad for longevity testing.

    Of course, getting a product for “free” subconsciously probably makes reviewers a little more forgiving, which could be a problem.






  • This actually opens an interesting debate.

    Every photo you take with your phone is post processed. Saturation can be boosted, light levels adjusted, noise removed, night mode, all without you being privy as to what’s happening.

    Typically people are okay with it because it makes for a better photo - but is it a true representation of the reality it tried to capture? Where is the line of the definition of an ai-enhanced photo/video?

    We can currently make the judgement call that a phones camera is still a fair representation of the truth, but what about when the 4k AI-Powered Night Sight Camera does the same?

    My post is more tangentially related to original article, but I’m still curious as what the common consensus is.


  • We were almost literally in the exact same scenario and era of home. We went with an 18", our first dishwasher in 8 years.

    My girlfriend and I cook a LOT, so we make way too many dishes. On a bad day I fill up the dishwasher before my sink is empty and have to hand wash a few extra plates. I usually avoid putting pots and pans in there, honestly it doesn’t fit well with much else in the bottom row if you have that utensil thing in place.

    If you only use a couple plates and a mug or two a day, its really easy to just put it in the dishwasher Instead of the sink and when full just hit CLEAN.

    Was it worth it… I guess? How much do you hate dishes. Anything more than 2 people probably go bigger.
