Didn’t see a video of it anywhere on the article. Either my browser didn’t support or idk.

Now that makes more sense.

I say it and mean it - when the software is in chinese language or has a very broken english translation for an interface…

My friend, have you ever configured an LED signboard before? If not, what you will learn will shock you…
…a lot of these boards are controlled by proprietary chinese software that only functions on Windows XP… even today.
As to why they don’t have a more modern OS connected to a signboard that obviously supports at least VGA and probably HDMI… I don’t know.

- Comment on Sharp rise in use of high-strength vapes, research shows 1 week ago:
Seems people are more stressed… maybe fix the stress problem and that would cut off a large portion of the rise.
- Comment on [Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over? 1 week ago:
Forza Horizon 5. Just got all I could for the Retrowave event. Couldn’t get the DeLorean or the F50, but I do have an extra F40 now and the GMC Syclone. Kinda missed some of the events due to working on other things.

- Comment on Stellaris gets a DLC about AI that features AI-created voices, director insists it's 'ethical' and 'we're pretty good at exploring dystopian sci-fi and don't want to end up there ourselves' 1 month ago:
While everyone here is screeching about jerbs, I would like to point out that using AI voices to voice an AI is an artistic genius in itself.

Pegatron, and that was the OEM motherboard branch of ASUS, which the likes of HP used for a long while. Also ASRock, which is a split off from Pega.

- Comment on China’s booming EV companies eye U.S. competitors they see as ‘not ready’ 1 month ago:
… and the Blazer EV was immediately on recall because of showstopping bugs. They’re trying too hard to rush out a super high tech car when they need to make it more basic to start with.
- Comment on In a thousand years teachers will have a hard time explaining the origins of one of the most dangerous and ill-conceived weapons ever invented: the lightsaber 1 month ago:
True, weapons designed for reach. Bat’leth is much better as a CQ weapon when tight spaces are a problem for long weapons. Of course, knives…

- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 1 month ago:
They released the game early access, so everyone was expecting a perfect game from the start because of how much development went into 1. Honestly, while 2 had issues, the game engine is much better than 1, they just needed to bake it more, like several years more, before releasing it hot off the heels of 1.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 1 month ago:
It’s an interesting futuristic concept, but LLMs, while pretty amazing in their current iteration, are nowhere near ready for that kind of work.

Bazzite is a neat concept, and I run it too. Still haven’t gotten VR to work properly, though (Quest 2)

If you need to use the Smart TV, setup a vlan on your network, or connect the tv to the guest wifi.
- Comment on What 11in laptop do you suggest? 2 months ago:
Dell Latitude 5310. Cheap on ebay, 10th-gen Intel i5, often comes with 16GB RAM and has the capability to go to 32GB RAM, can upgrade the ssd, wifi, and RAM, and it has a 60Whr battery. It will literally go all day on battery. You may have to replace the battery due to age, but otherwise for a 13.3" laptop it is very good and still performs. It also supports Windows 11, but I suppose you will Linux it. It’ll do it either way.

I can’t build an Envision profile in Bazzite, several source code packages don’t exist.
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu 2 months ago:
I bought what was affordable on the used market. And VR stuff is almost entirely Windows exclusive, with only the Index having a native Linux compatibility via the recent SteamVR Linux port. While the Quest series (and a Pico, its Chinese competitor) run a special version of Android, they don’t have the performance in standalone mode that a PC has. Besides, my library of VR games are all on the PC.
And before you say “you shold have Index”, I will point out the very, very high cost and requirement for external tracking hardware, aka “the lighthouse”, something I lack the space for.
