Alyx came out 4 years ago, and is recognized as one of the best VR titles of all time. It's a full 15 hour game, so not a tech demo. I'd say that's a hit.

At 80+Gb that means it's a straight blu-ray rip without being recompressed at all, which is perfect if you have a nice home theater system. You definitely notice the difference then. But if you're just watching on an average monitor with headphones or such, then you're honestly better off finding a smaller version that someone properly compressed down a bit.

Drop has kinda gone to shit anyways. Though I have gotten some good headphones off them. But I ordered a set of wood IEM's back in January. Got and update like a month later that the supply chain got messed up, will ship in June. Current order status is "Reserved for shipment. Estimated ship date: July 10". So like a week ago. And all the emails from them lately have been

"Check out these amazing keycaps!11!1!"

"Hey look, we got more keycaps!!!!"

"Limited time only super-special keycaps!"

"Hey, you looking for some keycaps?!"

It's not what it used to be, just like everything else on the internet.

Gotta say, I'm really excited for the work you're doing on Artemis. Kbin's mobile site is really good especially considering how young it is, but I miss the smoothness of a real app. Thank you for jumping in on it so quickly and enthusiastically!!

Well by all reports they did a shitty job, so....

Dark Helmet above them all, as it should be.

MakeMKV (at least in windows) lets you rip a remuxed mkv without having to rip everything. So you can just select the titles, audio, and subtitle tracks you want without ripping all the other stuff. You don't need to make a full backup and then pull all that out.

I've been using a DaVinci IQ2 for a while and really like it. I'm a pretty light user, I just vape one time a day an hour or two before going to bed, gives me some time to relax and helps me fall asleep. Anyways, the thing I like about the IQ2 the most is their stainless dosage pods. They only hold like 0.3g but that's enough for a vape session. And they have an ingenious grinder that you easily pack a 6-pack of pods super easy, and a storage holder for them that's pretty nice and helps with smell. It makes it so easy to prep for a few sessions and minimizes cleanup by quite a lot. And with their app you can set up your vape and even put in your strain info to track THC consumption, if that's something you want to do. Downside is their ecosystem is pretty pricey, but they have been including their pods or a grinder lately.

Overall if you're not a heavy smoker DaVinci makes some really good stuff. It gets pretty hot so I'd recommend getting their silicone glove and giving it some time to cool off between sessions. Gotta look around for coupons, though. MSRP is like $299 for the IQ2, but I think I got mine around $230. IQC is a bit cheaper, I have one as a backup just in case, really just the mouthpiece and some app functionality are what you're giving up. Plus the IQ2 has a 10 year warranty and thr IQC I think it's like 3 or 5 years.

Still rocking my 2012 Silver genpu since I drove it new off the lot. Been the best balance of fun and reliability I've ever seen in a car. Just waiting for Mazda to get their shit together on their EV's and make an electric AWD 3 hatchback.

Yeah I'm looking forward to trying it too. My only concern is if they're growing fat cells along with the muscle cells, otherwise it's just not going to taste as good. I much prefer a good strip or ribeye instead of a lean filet.

Yes, nearly 71% globally.

Apple is the biggest really only in North America.

This actually pushed me and a couple of friends to subscribe to Nord; I'd been thinking I should get a VPN for a while anyways. I looked through VPN's and I ended up liking Nord's feature set and price vs ExpressVPN. Never thought I'd use them back when they were EVERY video's sponsor on YouTube lol.

Cpu is a ryzen 2600, it doesn't have an iGPU.

I have an IQ2 and IQC and I'd say they're great vapes. The really nice thing with them is their dosage pods, the stainless steel ones are only 0.3g capacity (ceramics are 0.2g and don't heat as nicely, in my experience) but you get 6 in a pack to load up. And the grinder they sell to load the pods is fantastic. You can easily do a sesh, let the unit cool down for like 10 minutes, pop in a fresh pod and maybe battery if needed, and go again. Great system, you just gotta look around for coupons to get the price down.

I game at 3440x1440 ultrawide, and upgraded from a 3090 to 4090. 4090 is significantly faster and smoother. And DLSS3 frame interpolation is no joke- in Hogwarts Legacy with every setting cranked up and max ray tracing, turning on DLSS3 jumped me from around 80fps with noticeable 1% low stutters and now pegs it at the 144fps limiter I set in game. Smooth as butter.

Also I mess around with some AI things like stable diffusion, and it's much faster for that as well. As much as I hate the term "future proof", the 4090 is more worth it in that regards, IMO.

Bad thing is the waterproofing goes out the window after you crack it open, so you gotta be careful from then on.

I'm in the same boat, I've been interested in the folding phone concept for years, but I've been waiting for them to get slimmer, have less of a crease, and have a better front screen for journal quick use. I was tempted to wait and buy the new Galaxy Fold 5 when it comes out. It's supposed to have the new teardrop design hinge that immensely helps out with the crease. But then it looks like they still aren't going to do anything with the front screen from the Fold 4, which I don't like, so I just bought the Galaxy S23 Note (let's face it, that's what the Ultra is) instead. Hopefully by the time the Fold 7 comes out they'll have made some changes.

The CHIPS (etc) Act was enough to justify his presidency by itself, IMO. It was insane that such a huge percentage of the world's semiconductor research and production were concentrated in one country, especially a small one that China has been eyeing like a feral cat for years.

Microsoft's Gamepass gives you a discounted price on games, so if you see that something is going to fall out of their subscription catalog you can purchase it for less. It's only like 20% off but it's nice that they offer it.

Don't forget to buy Ernest a coffee so he can put some finances towards upgrading the server!
