teejay@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Tesla complains about being target of retaliatory tariffs, and it was right: it's startingEnglish18·3 months agoThe board is his family and close allies. They’re not going to go against him. Tesla = Musk. Anyone who’s a part of Tesla, including investors, is part of the nosedive into the pavement, just along for the ride at this point.

Youtube on the RPI5 drops frames and is stuttery. If that’s fine for you, great. But I’d argue it’s not what people consider a good viewing experience. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBQosbjl9Jw&t=278s and https://youtu.be/nBtOEmUqASQ?t=797 if you’d like more info.
The accessories I mentioned for the RPI5 are the bare essentials just to get the thing to power up, boot to a web browser, and connect to a monitor to try to play YouTube, which is the foundation of your original comment. Please show me where a $120 used laptop or desktop tower needs additional hardware purchases to boot and plug in an HDMI cable.
You’re picking the wrong fight with the wrong guy, friend. I’m a huge RPI advocate and I think they are great tools for specific use cases. I simply want to point out that if folks are considering it in the hopes that it’s a small and cheap way to watch YouTube, they’re gonna have a bad time.
Yep. First of all, the person who said an RPI5 can show YouTube HD just fine is lying. It’s still stuttery and drops frames (better than the RPI4b, but still not great). Second, you’ll end up dropping well north of $100 for the RPI5, active cooler, case, memory card (not even mentioning an m2 hat), power supply, and cable / adapter to feed standard HDMI.
You can find some really solid used laptops and towers in that price range, not to mention the n100 NUC. And they’ll all stream YouTube HD much better, as well as provide a much smoother desktop experience overall.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me a RPI, I run a couple myself. They’re just not great daily drivers, especially if you want to stream HD content.
teejay@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•U.S. will allow California to ban new gas-powered cars, officials sayEnglish3·6 months agoHyundai and GM / Chevy are the two biggest examples of automakers producing affordable EVs with traditional buttons and knobs. Audi, BMW, and Porsche are all moving back in that direction, but generally those aren’t in the affordable category you mentioned.
Recent articles suggest many automakers swinging back towards the physical control side of the spectrum. It’s a very good thing, touchscreens for basic auto controls was a terrible idea.

This has nothing to do with the engine type. This is a (valid) concern about new cars. But citing it as a reason to avoid EVs is misplaced.
teejay@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•China Is Bombarding Tech Talent With Job Offers. The West Is Freaking Out.English81·7 months agoYeah but once it gets posted to an .ee, it becomes fake. You’d know that if all of the senior tech workers in your brain hadn’t already left for high paying Chinese jobs.

It’s Elon Musk we’re talking about. These are 100% going to kill people (pedestrians, other drivers, riders) and animals.
I need to figma resume and get out of here.

teejay@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•San Francisco goes after websites that make AI deepfake nudes of women and girlsEnglish9·10 months agoYeah it’s a
chimerahydra, similar to illegal movie streaming sites. Unless they solve it at the AI engine level, they’re just chasing ghosts.
teejay@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on Pixel phones, and it’s a train wreckEnglish1·10 months agoAgreed. Sigh. I’m considering the P9 Pro simply because of the improved modem and fingerprint reader. The AI is useless to me.

For Spare Parts.’ Russians Attack With Their Best Tanks And Worst War Bikes—And Run Into Heavily-Armed Ukrainian Paratroopers.English16·11 months agoI think it’s literally just dirt bikes with soldiers on them. If that video from a while back is any indication, they’re a lot like clay pigeon target practice for Ukraine’s drones.
It’s not the military’s duty to protect protestors. Just as the police have no obligation to protect and serve citizens.
