Good idea using the Free Lossless Audio Codec that will sound way better than mp3 when the balloons all pop.

Growing and harvesting and delivering and picking up food use a shitload of fuel, we just subsidize it. Using an image generator uses almost no energy (training it did, but that’s already done). The comparison isn’t even close.

I don’t understand where the confrontation came from, but I guess if that’s what you want you can have it. I literally told you two posts ago about how it’s not just waiting for 20s and clicking a button. It’s an attendee upgrade and scrolling process. I won’t bother quoting what I wrote 3 minutes ago, go scroll up and read it again yourself. No, my microwave does not present me with EULAs when the power goes out.

No machine stays on without power, I’m not quite sure how you interpreted my statement that way. I’m saying all my other appliances recover gracefully from power loss and do whatever auto-updates they need to do in the background so when I go to use them they just work.

Yea I have one for my PC. Sony argues in court that a PlayStation is not a PC, but an appliance. I’m pointing out how untrue that is.

For the updates: I put it to sleep. However my power cuts out every now and then. When the power comes back, the ps4 turns itself back on on and makes obnoxious beeping noises, just to tell me the power was cut. The dumb thing is it will stay on that screen until manually dismissed and won’t auto-update until you dismiss that screen, with no timeout. The hassle-free appliance experience!
For your claim that the eulas being easy to skip, keep in mind that sometimes there were back-to-back updates that each required me to agree to a eula. So I would babysit the thing, walk away when it was taking forever, and when I came back it wouldn’t even be ready for gaming. Even windows isn’t that obnoxious.
Also my tv at the time had no way to disable CEC (my new one does, and also doesn’t crash lol).

If you have a dumb TV you can use a USB to CEC adapter that talks to the tv. If you have a smart TV it is probably supported by Home Assistant so you can rig your computer to wake the TV.

Maybe it’s because I don’t use it enough but the last Sony console I bought was the absolute opposite of “no fuss”. It was nothing but mandatory unskippable updates and I constantly got signed out and had to sign in and the 2fa app kept changing names. And also all those updates and sign-ins had mandatory EULAS you had to scroll through. Such a hassle.

It’s certainly nice to live a life free of responsibility for others, but that’s a massive and selfish privilege.

I know you don’t live here so you can just be relaxed and ummm acckktually from behind your keyboard. But please understand that real humans live on the streets that this dangerous machine is careening through, and it’s only a matter of time before it kills someone. Intentional acts of violence must be stopped immediately, and they don’t need a devils advocate. Please watch any of the footage from the last 3 days of operation, it’s very straightforwardly clear to any observer just how fucked up and dangerous these machines are.

And yet my electricity rates, which are majority solar/battery just keep going up and up and up and up. Thanks PG$E and the corrupt governor of California.

I meant more in the general sense, I recognize that cars can get stuck places.

If you’re about to be hit by a train, driving forward through the barrier is always the correct choice. It will move out of the way and you stay alive to fix the scratches in your paint.
- Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks 2 days ago:
It’s more about when they don’t release it/only selectively say things that make them look good and staying silent when they look bad.
- Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks 2 days ago:
How so? The human in the care is always ultimately responsible when using level 3 driver assists. Tesla does not have level 4/5 self-driving and therefore doesn’t have to assume any liability.

Every time it vibrates it sounds like it’s trying to explode into an angry horde of bees. I still use it but gosh it’s annoying.
