I’m honestly surprised i’m not crippled fromhoisting that thing back and forth from stands to carts and back to stands again over the years.
But alas, I was younger, and far less broken down back then.
- Comment on How many crts yall have? 2 weeks ago:
none anymore.
my 36 inch big boy died a few years back, and it was too fucking heavy to cart around trying to find someone to fix it.
God my back hurts just thinking about it… 2 people should have moved that thing, yet I always did it by myself.

You are either going to donate, or spread word to others, who will pick it up and donate themselves.
Money still gets made, its just less opportunistic and predatory.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 2 weeks ago:
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again.
Nvidia is destroying gaming.
They started the destruction with the idea of 4k gaming.
When they realized native 4k gaming wasnt going to be feasible… They knocked gaming to the ground and started kicking it in the ribs with this upscaling bullshit, because who doesnt live a 1080p picture shittily stretched to 4k?
And they curb stomped it by making video cards cost more than what most people make in a fucking month.
and they’re beating its unconscious body with bats over this DLSS5 AI obsession bullshit.
and at every step of the way, the gamers were there to deliver dumptrucks of money because they don’t give a fuck about ruining everything as long as they can have their new shiny. Being in the cool kids club by having a new shiny is more important than the havok they are wrecking with their decisions to support this shit.
But don’t worry…They’ll still go online and cry about the unfairness of it all.

The North Dakota and Tennesee officers involved in this need to be arrested, and convicted, for kidnapping, abuse of authority, elder abuse, and whatever fucking other charge they can be trumped up on.

- Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US? 2 weeks ago:
because education teaches kids how to think and to know right from wrong.
Which is why the cabal of fascist pedophiles have spent the past 50+ years trying to demonize it.

never know, you’d be surprised the assumptions youtube makes about you based on what you watch.
I watch a couple fishing channels, and it seems that anything outdoorsy youtube automatically registers as conservative republican, and increases the right wing/pragu u propaganda significantly during the times I dont have adblock (When I used to use xbox to watch youtube on the big TV, I replaced it with an old laptop entirely to get adblocking running)
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 3 weeks ago:
and a mutli-hour ad. Who the fuck would watch that, who the fuck would pay to put a multi-hour ad on an 8m video that nobody is going to watch?
People who are hoping to get a captured audience that cant get up and click the skip button for whatever reason.

i dont have an LG, but I’ve only had to firmware update 1 TV in like… the past 13 years, and that was because it had a horrible issue with the image vertically splitting in half and green corruption across the bottom. Which makes you think hardware failure, but it wasnt, the firmware update 100% fixed it for the rest of its life.
So unless you are facing a major, catastrophic issue like that, I’d say fuck updates.

For now. That can change at any time with an update.

Exactly this.
“Smart” TVs never go online, never connect to anything but power and an HDMI, and quite frankly…if it didnt risk causing warranty headaches, I’d open teh fucker up and unplug its wifi antenna too.
Always use an old PC/Laptop/Raspberry Pi/whatever to get them online/on youtube/streaming/etc. You have full control over those devices, and can update them as desired and modify them at a whim.
Fuckin hate smart TVs. a bunch of fucking spyware and adware that just makes the device run hotter and die sooner.

Youtube: “People are blocking are ads and costing us money, what should we do?!”
The People: “Police your platform and stop advertising scams, hate speech, pornography, and all the other shit.”
Youtube: “I just have no idea what to do, so I guess I’ll just invest millions/billions into making ads harder to block, and make the ads longer and unskippable.”
The People: “YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, JUST POLICE YOUR FUCKING PLATFORM ALREADY. IF YOU DID YOU WOULDNT NEED TO DO ALL THIS SHIT”
Youtube: “Oh, btw, heres another PragerU video thats 3 hours long and talks about how the black man should be grateful for the white man uplifting them via slavery, followed by a ad thats basically a woman fingering herself to advertise chinese AI girlfriends”
The People: " adblocking intensifies "
