If you like those types of games, you should also try “Detroit become human”, and “Life is Strange”

Actually the disk drives makes the console attractive, as you can snag cheap second hand games

I am in tech and so far the only way to get a decent pay rise was to swap jobs. Every 3-4 years. At my last position, I got something like 3-4% pay rise, for the last 3 years, when the official inflation was more than 20%, while I am sure they have adapted their pricing accordingly.

Every time it is the same story and excuses. And it is really tiring.

To be honest right now is a relatively good time to build a PC, except for the GPU, which is heavily overpriced. I think if you are content with last gen AMD, this can also be turned to somewhat acceptable levels.

And that’s the biggest ISPs, plus he can still use Tailscale or Zerotier and still be able to access his network. Plus IPv6 IPs should be easy to assign and won’t be paid or limited.

Usually German ISPs are giving you IPv6.

No one is forcing you to connect your TV to the Internet. You can use it in offline mode and it will work just fine.

Can’t you simply not connect your display to the Internet, or place it after a firewall which is blocking the internet traffic.

I seriously don’t understand your concerns.

Okay, I meant not exciting. It is very much meh.

I think here you also need to teach your kid not to trust unconditionally this tool and to question the quality of the tool. As well as teaching it how to write better prompts, this is the same like with Google, if you put shitty queries you will get subpar results.

And believe me I have seen plenty of tech people asking the most lame prompts.

Copyright regulations for thee but not for me

Most likely you are under CGNAT, so your best bet is Tailscale, Wireguard, CloudFlare Tunnel or Zero Tier. Pick your poison.

0 degrees Celsius, the water is freezing, 100 degrees Celsius, the water is boiling. Celsius has a direct link to Kelvin, and Kelvin is the SI unit for measurement temperatures.

On the Deck, Skyrim with mods and specifically beyond Skyrim Bruma. I have figured out how to install mods and you can sink a lot of hours in good ol’ Skyrim.

I also play Life is Strange: True Colours on the Deck.

Additionally the farmer was replaced is a fun little Python like game where you need to write Python like code to automate the manual labor on your farm. But this I play on the desktop.

Indeed the game is very good.

The metric system, f*ck the imperial system. Every scientist sticks to the metric system, and why are people even still having an imperial system, with outdated measurements like stones for weight blows my mind.

Also f*ck Fahrenheit, we have Celsius and Kalvin for that, we don’t need another hard to convert temperature measurement.

I mean they hiked considerably the prices and then wonder why their cars aren’t selling well. Plus VW cars are very boring.

With this GPU you can install a media server like Plex or Jellyfin and offload the transcoding on the GPU, but mind you you will still have a high idle load consumption.

Normally in a headless home server I would need virtualisation and low idle power consumption. So this GPU and PSU are a bit of an overkill if you are not planning to fully utilise them.

And you as an analytics engineer should know that already? I am using some LLMs on almost a daily basis, Gemini, OpenAI, Mistral, etc. and I know for sure that if you ask it a question about a niche topic, the chances for the LLM to hallucinate are much higher. But also to avoid hallucinating, you can use different prompt engineering techniques and ask a better question.

Another very good question to ask an LLM is what is heavier one kilogram of iron or one kilogram of feathers. A lot of LLMs are really struggling with this question and start hallucinating and invent their own weird logical process by generating completely credibly sounding but factually wrong answers.

I still think that LLMs aren’t the silver bullet for everything, but they really excel in certain tasks. And we are still in the honeymoon period of AIs, similar to self-driving cars, I think at some point most of the people will realise that even this new technology has its limitations and hopefully will learn how to use it more responsibly.

Anandtech was more nerdy and technical and I presume less people were reading their articles But also the quality of their content was far superior.
