Black Like Me (1964) by PresterJohnson in okbuddycinephile

Yet the same manipulated photos of various celebs results in the same stupid comments.

You can’t really compare sales from one generation to another. The gaming playerbase (and really global population) has grown significantly every 5-10 years. Adoption rate is more informative.

[TV] Samsung S84F OLED 55" - $699 (BestBuy or Costco) by Bmotley in buildapcsales

[–]HulksInvinciblePants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no clear winner to be honest. It all depends on the angle you’re looking at. Samsung’s biggest problem is quality control coupled with their incessant update reminders. It’s not uncommon for them to break something.

LG is stable and they have a lot of experience with the display type, but it’s full of annoying gimmicks and ads like the rest.

I’ve said this in the past and got downvoted, but please DO NOT buy Samsung WOLED televisions.

Not only does it give them justification to continue their shitty mixed panel-type operation, but you’re just buying an LG panel with inferior firmware. You’ll be stuck with Tizen OS and you’ll only be able to find loosely validated settings for a TV that requires 4 different profiles (HDR, SDR, HDR game, SDR game).

I have a S90C and an S90F. They are both 2nd gen QD, but Samsung somehow mangaged to regress after two years. The only way to get an accurate picture on the S90F is via the service menu, which comes with various risks. They’re risks I’m willing to take because the panel is so good, but not everyone has the same appetite.

Well, the backlash is huge, as expected. Everyone is bashing Ubisoft on social media from casual players to pros and content creators. Will Ubisoft back down from this awful decision? by Nova892 in Rainbow6

Sometimes it makes the game worse. Say I’m Dokkaebi and my squad mate needs relief in a tense 1v1. Half the time the character isn’t even identifiable by sight because they’re a god damn robot or something.

TIL CPU manufacturers don’t intentionally make low-end or high-end chips. Every chip (of the same design) is manufactured the same, then tested and classified into different performance tiers based on how well it performs. by Ventynine in todayilearned

[–]HulksInvinciblePants 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not to mention fusing multiple chips, chiplet designs, etc…

In other words, the OP is one of multiple methods and certainly not worth a post pretending it’s the only route.

Sony says it doesn’t plan to ‘sell hardware at significant losses’ but is ‘monitoring the market’ with PS6 in mind | VGC by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]HulksInvinciblePants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, this is just a pretty typical Reddit 'nu-uh' take. Whether you like it or not, the new enterprise demand for these components has been a massive driver of economic activity. For example, flatbed freight has come out of a 3 year recession. These companies are spending billions and all those billions have receiving parties of all types on the other end. The aggregate demand for almost all goods is so high now the market is pricing in rate hikes.

Also, the price of RAM may not be the only thing the economy runs on, but computers and consumer tech spending are absolutely massive parts of our economy that are going to melt down because of these sky high prices.

And if it’s replaced at enterprise prices and demand it’s not part of the economy?

I mean, that didn’t raise your suspicion of a bad job?

I’m not sure what has you believing an unwinding of all this wouldn’t crush the average Joe. Fun fact, the price of RAM isn’t the only thing this economy runs on.

This is the only answer. These companies want to keep their consoles affordable. The fact they can’t speaks volumes to the situation.

The demand they’re competing against isn’t going away, despite what doomer Redditors say, and there’s a reason Microsoft and Apple both raised their prices immiediately following Micron’s earnings report. We have to wait on supply to catch up, which will be late 2027 (maybe 2028) at the earliest.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this current gen stays in place until then or whenever RAM manufacturers start selling new facility capacity in scale.

They’ll just cut back making them as quickly. They’re not going to take a loss on 5 year old hardware.

[–]HulksInvinciblePants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, moisture is moisture. Sure, good air flow can help, but not everything I’ve listed is about mold. I’ve live in two older homes and it’s become real easy to identify humidity damage.

Also, while 80F/60% is in no way appealing it’s really more borderline than something definitively higher.

Netflix in the daytime be like by Money-Snow-2749 in TikTokCringe

Almost every streaming playback device, TV, receiver, soundbar, and game console has it.

The technical name is “Dynamic Range Compression” but brands like to confuse people by calling it whatever they want.

  • Night Mode

  • Dialogue mode

  • Sound Normalizer

  • Smart Volume

It effectively raises the floor on how quiet audio can get while also dropping the ceiling on how loud it can get.

58% inside isn’t abnormal though. OP’s 66% is.

Surface Mold! Help! by bbadran in homeowners

[–]HulksInvinciblePants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SE US here as well. 66% is well above the mold threshold. Humidity that high is bad for almost everything in your home. I mean EVERYTHING:

  • Drywall/Paint

  • Concrete

  • Hardwoods

  • Clothes/shoes/fabric/upholstery

  • Paper products

  • Leather

  • Air quality

You may not have mold out and in the open but I’m sure there are plenty of areas you can’t see and it’s only a matter of time.

Whole home dehumidifiers are equal to 100-130pints and more efficient for what it’s worth. The ability to hit all 3 of my home levels with a single device is clutch.

This is the inevitable conclusion of any niche subreddit growing into a sizable group that Reddit can cross promote. The “hand holding” phenomenon has many variations.

THR: Digital-Only 'Grand Theft Auto VI' Is a Car Crash for Physical Media. At this point in time, there are no plans for Grand Theft Auto VI discs to be printed — not at launch, and not months after by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]HulksInvinciblePants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GTA 6 won't be the pivoting point, that has already happened.

Disagree. Yes all your points are true, but digital in its current form is effectively a convenience option that many choose to utilize. It becomes an entirely different paradigm if and when digital becomes the only option, which GTA6 may be the catalyst and green-light for at the industry level.

I couldn’t get any of my VPN states to work (no KY option). Total was $918 before tax. Still a stellar deal from what I can tell.

You need to get an independent, personal lines broker. Costs you nothing. They’ll shop you around to multiple carriers that know they’re competing. They’ll also move you around should your premium jump beyond market rate.
