  • PlayStation Portal review: impressive hardware but is Remote Play itself good enough?

    Jump

  • Lol, would love to hear why on earth this is downvoted - guess we're in full on reddit mode and just downvoting everything that isn't exactly what I think lol

  • PlayStation Portal review: impressive hardware but is Remote Play itself good enough?

    Jump

  • Yeah it was odd to read that description being presented as an oddity - that sounds like most households I know. If you have a wife, kids, or roommate and don't enjoy being holed up in your own room the whole time you play (and those sharing your house don't just want to watch you game all night) then in house streaming is a huge boon.

    I PC game, but most of my gaming is done on the couch, streamed onto my phone. I've been very tempted to buy a dedicated streaming device lately to avoid draining my phone battery while playing

  • Why Americans feel gloomy about the economy despite falling inflation and low unemployment

    Jump

  • Right... and no generation since has ever seen the value of owning property, right? Lol.

    Are you under the impression that modern renters are choosing to rent instead of own?

    60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck making saving for a down payment impossible for over half the country, and with rates being what they are, mortgages are expensive af.

    People are renting because it's the only way to live, not because they think it's neat. People are getting upset at you not because you're pointing out that rent is a scam, but because you're implying it's the fault of the victims

  • I should read more

    Jump

  • As always, people who just hate change in any form - combined with the depressingly common outlook that if you don't personally like something, it must be objectively bad

  • Sony progresses with its 'in-camera authenticity' amid surge of Gen AI

    Jump

  • Except smart phone cameras will also improve - if anything, I'd say that over the last decade, the average smart phone camera has improved at a much faster rate than your average computer monitor.

    Combine what I said with all the other Metadata that will be collected, and I'm quite skeptical that you could fool an actual professional with your scheme.

  • Legal loophole

    Jump

  • Using our world as a template, it probably would be illegal to revive a convict, but itd be an open secret that a few well placed bribes and a bit of influence is all it'd take to bend the rules

  • I should read more

    Jump

  • It's just the same attitude as people who claim it's not really reading if you're using an eReader. Some people get weirdly elitist about books and reading

  • Sony progresses with its 'in-camera authenticity' amid surge of Gen AI

    Jump

  • With your current phone, go ahead and take two pictures - one normal, the other a picture of a picture of that thing

    Now look at the two, and tell me you can't tell in a split second that one is a picture of a picture. There's a reason that it's a running joke on the internet that people need to learn to take real screenshot instead of taking a picture of the monitor - there's always annoying and obvious artifacts.

  • New Naruto fighting game receives backlash for questionable redub, raising eyebrows over potential AI voiceover: "I can guarantee I did not say that line that way"

    Jump

  • I don't even know if I agree with that tbh - I've yet to see anything that actually shows that AI voiceovers can replace human ones. Oh they can make realistic speech, but they can't voice act. A voice actor isn't just a person who reads a script in a monotone, they're an actor.

    AI will probably eventually get good enough to understand the context of the dialogue and add the appropriate inflections and such - but nothing today comes even close

  • Check out this time-saving lifehack

  • . But I doubt anyone would care if you stood up to stretch your legs 30 mins before landing

    You'd think, but apparently people are picky enough about what others do to care that they stand up shortly after landing, so who knows

  • YouTube blames ad blockers for slow load times, and it has nothing to do with your browser | The delay is intentional, but targeting users who continue using ad blockers, and not tied to any browse...

    Jump

  • Yeah and while I'm sure it is useful for minimizing outrage at controversial changes, it's mainly to prevent rolling out major bugs to too many people

  • Airlines will make a record $118 billion in extra fees this year—their websites are designed to get you to pay

  • boarding first isn't a privilege really

    It is on southwest, since there's no unassigned boarding. I'm a tall dude, and I always pay for early boarding so I can get myself an emergency row seat

  • Why? Are we not doing enough?

    Jump

  • Yeah, remember the reaction when that one post got popular about lemmy being boring for anyone that wasn't a SWE/Linux user?

    People got so pissed off, one of the top posts on lemmy that day was something to the affect of "fuck you, we're not obligated to post things you like". Which, yeah, you're not - but you also can't blame people for losing interest in your platform when you only have active discussion on one or two relatively niche topics.

    The fact is that Lemmy is garbage for discussing hobbys or interests outside of a few niche areas. On reddit my feed was filled with woodworking, 3d printing, Astronomy, and other topics that get very little traffic on lemmy.

    My lemmy feed is mostly politics, then SWE stuff, then memes

  • Fox news on transgender marathon runner

    Jump

  • Just did a 5k for cancer research this weekend and we got a medal for it 🤷🏼‍♂️ hell, my wife and dog (yes, my dog got her own medal, it was adorable) got one for one walking it 😅

    Ultimately it's just a piece of cheap metal, not like it's impractical to give them out willy nilly

  • The lack of "real world complaints" and "anger" in popular music genres helps keep the masses docile

    Jump

  • Yeah, popular music - by definition - is going to have a broad appeal, and pointing out major problems with our society is always going to be at least a bit divisive, especially when the issue is split in party lines

  • Fox news on transgender marathon runner

    Jump

  • Yup, they do the same for half marathons, 10ks and 5ks

    Sometimes the first 3 will get special medals, but but everyone else gets the same one

  • Cassie Says Diddy Threatened To Blow Up Kid Cudi’s Car Before It Exploded In His Driveway

    Jump

  • I'm not saying he's a nobody, but it's not exactly downvote worthy to not know him lol, I'll bet there are plenty of people I'd consider well know that you're not familiar with too 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Appeals court to hear arguments on whether to reinstate gag order against Donald Trump

    Jump

  • I doubt they even hope the judge will agree, they're just doing it for the sake of his base. It's been his prime defense the whole time - the fact that it's bullshit doesn't matter, because as far as his base is concerned, if Trump said it, it's true
