“the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, which runs on Linux instead of the easily-modified Android software used on previous TV streaming hardware”
Ok… who wants to break it to them?

Sorry, Yiddish, I think I pointed this out in one of your other threads, and I don’t mean to spam, but it bears repeating…
Ring is partnering with Flock:

I inherited a Ring camera with my house and added more, I’m now in the process of de-Ringifying everything.

- Comment on 'The PS5 is only in the middle of [it's lifespan],' says Sony CFO 1 week ago:
Blows my mind that Sony was supporting the PS1, 2 and 3 in 2006.
- Comment on 'The PS5 is only in the middle of [it's lifespan],' says Sony CFO 1 week ago:
They are still making PS4 games. Just because a new gen launches doesn’t mean the previous gen is cut off.

- Comment on 'The PS5 is only in the middle of [it's lifespan],' says Sony CFO 1 week ago:
The long generation got extended because of the 2008 financial crisis, if anything I’d have expected a covid extension on the PS4.
- Comment on 'The PS5 is only in the middle of [it's lifespan],' says Sony CFO 1 week ago:
Seems likely given the overlap between generations.
PS1 - 1995 to 2006
PS2 - 2000 to 2013
PS3 - 2006 to 2017
PS4 - 2013 to 2025
PS5 - 2020 to 20???So 11 years, 13, 11, 12…
PS5 is 5 years in. Don’t expect it to shut down until at least 2031, maybe even 2033.

I heard a story about an octopus escaping into a library and was found fumbling through the books.
I can only imagine if it comprehended what it was looking at… “Oh, crap, THAT’S what they use ink for!”
- Comment on 1 week ago:
And they do all that with a CRIMINALLY short lifespan. 😟

“For example, the Common Octopus, Mimic Octopus, and Blue-Ringed Octopus live for around 12 – 18 months whereas the Giant Pacific Octopus can have a lifespan of 3-5 years!”

Oh, shit, there’s 7 more Epstiens?

- Comment on The Sega Master System 1 week ago:
The Master System didn’t have a lot of great games, but man, Phantasy Star made up for any other deficiencies it had.
Hands down one of the best RPGs for ANY system, 8 bit, 16 bit or otherwise. Complete with full 3D dungeons.

- Comment on Question on TV's 2 weeks ago:
Game consoles never used to have those features either. 😉 That’s the trick, you need a set that supports modern console features.
HDR management being a good one. The game developers encoded HDR to make a game look a specific way, you don’t want a set that either over-rides it and does it’s own, similarly you don’t want a dumb set that doesn’t support HDR.

All that BS is more beneficial to gaming than a generic TV, especially if your focus is low lag.
- Comment on Question on TV's 2 weeks ago:
It varies model to model and year to year, but in general you want a television with either a “Game” mode or “ALLM” (Auto Low Latency Mode).
So on the LG C5 model that’s popular right now:
www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled65c5pua-oled-4k-tv
VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) - Yes (Up to 144Hz)
ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) - Yes
FreeSync™ - Yes
Game Optimizer - Yes
G-Sync Compatible (Nvidia) - Yes
HGIG Mode - Yes (disables the TV tone mapping and allows the game to control HDR - “HDR Gaming Interest Group”)

I get it, I’m the introvert too, but it helps to understand where they are coming from…
For them, these inane conversations are likely their pressure/stress release. Medical gigs can be pretty high pressure and everyone reacts to that differently.
I’ve only witnessed it from the patient side, but I get where it’s coming from.
When I had my first heart attack, it was just after Thanksgiving and the cardiac ward was decorated for Thanksgiving. They had these “Guess the heart rythm” charts made out of tinsel, and I got to see them all as I walked the ward after surgery.
(Bonus, immediately after open heart surgery they make you get up and walk around multiple times a day.)
The chart right by the nurses station? I wish I had taken a photo of it… tinsel flatline ending in an angel. LOL.

- Comment on Recommend that new users join geographically local instances 3 weeks ago:
Oh, it absolutely is, AND they have many times the population of lemmy, AND they vote, AND they are largely misinformed.
We have an election here on Tuesday, there is only one thing to vote on, a property tax measure to support the local parks measure.
OMG the amount of bad information floating around on this!
You can deprogram some people, but getting people to understand that they are being lied to when they spout nonsense like “ZOMG! Property taxes going up 75%!!!” is a tall hill to climb.
