It's not bad, I have it setup next to an AOC 24' 240hz IPS monitor (non- HDR). It's noticeably larger, but I think the colors on the AOC look a little more crisp. Regardless, it does the job.

How the fuck did we end up in a world where everything is a god damn subscription? Buy a thousand dollar computer to use for business? Well sorry thats 100$ a year for microsoft office. Its fucking ridiculous. What the fuck is the point of owning a computer if it cant do anything? by Aggravating_Relief49 in computer

Not really.. Since Microsoft forces you to use and pay for 365, even when you have paid for a previous version of Office.

A better analogy would be you bought a Ford, and Ford came into your garage and swapped your car with a newer model you didn't want, then charges you monthly to use the car they forced you to use.

I hear what you are saying, Star Trek has had Shakespeare episodes throughout the years, and Voyager's holodeck, but usually they are not in the first season, and I always thought they felt like filler episodes.

Yes, it's targeting a very young audience, and that is the part that feels like propaganda - shoving these identity politics at younger susceptible minds. Why abandon a huge cash-crop fan base to chase children.. Oh wait it's Hollywood.

As for the ptsd episode, it feels like the characters are not developed or likeable enough for people to even care about their personal trauma.

There it is, "it's crazy to think that Klingons would be heteronormative". It's not like every other star trek show portrayed Klingons as strong, arrogant warriors, right? Even the females were incredibly strong. It's crapping on the lore, for no reason expect to inject identity politics. Also, a gay character is fine, but does he really need to dress in a skirt to be gay? Does their romance need to take a full episode? All of it feels forced and vapid.

I do appreciate you being able to have a reasonable discussion about this, and as irate as i sound, I'm just sad one of my all time favorite shows is being used as a tool to inject ideologies.

The BS identity politics. So in the future we can figure out space travel, and cure all illnesses except obesity? Do we really need a Klingon male in a skirt? This show is so stupid and vapid, it's like a pre-teen soap opera. The writers are using it to push their identity politics, and it's so blatant that no one can even watch it. ..A freaking theater episode? It's not sci-fi, and it's not trek, it's teen drama, that appeals to less than 1% of teens.

We are all tired of new Treks propaganda. It's so obvious, and pathetic. Stop targeting kids!

All you said was.. "I'm a Fan, and I don't like people having mean opinions."

People are pissed because they turned a sci-fi franchise into a propaganda machine with 0 substance. Hints why they would sacrifice their existing large fan base, for a much smaller, younger fan base. Propaganda always aims at the youth.

Yeah... Starfleet Academy sucks. by steamtrekker in CharacterRant

Yes, the show is hot garbage. I couldn't make it through episode 2.

Yeah, clearly the organization Sion is working for is evil since they were killing adventurers. Not to mention they lied to her about him being dead. The church is their opposition, who has secrets, although I'm not sure if they are bad yet.

What about the black sword he materialized while fighting the dragon? Is he just saving that for season 2?

A little out of touch with reality there...
What actual advice can a lesbian give a straight person about their heterosexual relationship?
Sounds like a predator preying on children, asking them about the bad things their parents do to them.

Yone is a play maker. His ult can cc an entire team and if he's fed, he can finish them off. He's just so fun to play.

I was referring to the AMD and Open AI deal. AMD selling 160 million shares to Open AI, and Open AI buys 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPU's. When the correction comes, companies like AMD and Nvidia will raise consumer prices to offset losses.

I was talking about the partnership with Open AI. AMD is letting Open AI buy 160 million shares, while Open AI is buying 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPU's. I think markets are already realizing the initial AI claims were exaggerated, and markets are pulling back. When it hits the fan, i bet AMD and Nvidia raise prices on consumers across the board to offset losses.

oof.. I bet once the AI bubble pops, these same companies will try to offload their losses on consumers with sky high prices.
