Totally! How dare OP post some visual data without having detailed plans about how to solution a company’s various business issues. Super lazy.

Youtube on the RPI5 drops frames and is stuttery. If that’s fine for you, great. But I’d argue it’s not what people consider a good viewing experience. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBQosbjl9Jw&t=278s and https://youtu.be/nBtOEmUqASQ?t=797 if you’d like more info.

The accessories I mentioned for the RPI5 are the bare essentials just to get the thing to power up, boot to a web browser, and connect to a monitor to try to play YouTube, which is the foundation of your original comment. Please show me where a $120 used laptop or desktop tower needs additional hardware purchases to boot and plug in an HDMI cable.

You’re picking the wrong fight with the wrong guy, friend. I’m a huge RPI advocate and I think they are great tools for specific use cases. I simply want to point out that if folks are considering it in the hopes that it’s a small and cheap way to watch YouTube, they’re gonna have a bad time.

Yep. First of all, the person who said an RPI5 can show YouTube HD just fine is lying. It’s still stuttery and drops frames (better than the RPI4b, but still not great). Second, you’ll end up dropping well north of $100 for the RPI5, active cooler, case, memory card (not even mentioning an m2 hat), power supply, and cable / adapter to feed standard HDMI.

You can find some really solid used laptops and towers in that price range, not to mention the n100 NUC. And they’ll all stream YouTube HD much better, as well as provide a much smoother desktop experience overall.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me a RPI, I run a couple myself. They’re just not great daily drivers, especially if you want to stream HD content.

Hopefully it’s infinity. It’s Elon Musk we’re talking about. These are 100% going to kill people (pedestrians, other drivers, riders) and animals.

Let them fight.

Agreed. Sigh. I’m considering the P9 Pro simply because of the improved modem and fingerprint reader. The AI is useless to me.

I’m still trying to figure out why the new Chromecast needs AI.

That’s the joke. Nearly every proposed implementation of AI isn’t actually solving a real business or tech problem. It’s just the next snake oil, like block chain, quantum computing, etc. There are real, valid use cases for all of those things. But most companies have no idea what they really are, how they might help, and even if they could help, what it would take to implement to see real results.

It reminds me of how tech companies are all scrambling to use AI. There was a funny article recently where the author pointed out that these companies are struggling to do very basic things, so the idea that they could somehow tackle AI in a way that’s useful and profitable is silly.

Here’s the article, very entertaining and worth the read.

• Spirit
• Frontier
• Allegiant
• JetBlue
• Breeze

Just imagine the average reddit, twitter, facebook, and instagram content. Then realize that half of that content is dumber than that. That’s half of what these AI models use to learn. The “smarter” half is probably filled with sarcasm, inside jokes, and other types of innuendo that the AI at this stage has no chance of understanding correctly.

It wasn’t. Fisker’s shitty response is what made it an even bigger deal.

Friend, I’ve read this three times and still have no idea wtf you’re trying to say.

Same. It loads the page where the tweet would be, then it seems like 2 popups cover it up, both about logging in. I immediately no longer care about viewing what I wanted to see, and close the window.

You’re so close to the answer! Keep going one more step!

Maybe Shop Pay? I didn’t read the article, just guessing.

I found the new dark mode pretty disappointing. It doesn’t look good – the dark isn’t very dark, it’s more of a dust grey. And there isn’t enough contrast between the background and the foreground text, so it’s harder to read.

I love the option for a dark theme and I’m glad they implemented it, but the colors and contrast need some love from a designer.

Don’t trip on your way to go get some.

pihole misses a ton of things that ublock can do

This seems like more of an issue of the adlists you use in pihole. Pihole’s blocking is only as good as the adlists you use on it. I’ve been running a pihole on my home network for years, and I find that as long as I take a few minutes to update the adlists (add new ones, remove dead ones) once or twice a year, it nukes nearly everything. And it’s amazing for blocking things on IoT devices where ublock origin will never be a thing.

Also, they’re not mutually exclusive – one can certainly use both. I use pihole on my home network, and run ffox + UBO on my computers and phone.

Probably referring to this one: https://youtu.be/iYhCn0jf46U
