  • A similar PC capable of 4k60 is more than double the price of the ps5 pro.

    I think that would depend on what you consider as “capable of 4K60”, because the PS5 Pro will almost certainly be far less capable of that than a build that’s double the price, especially since games that are already CPU-bound aren’t going to get much better framerates if at all


  • Yeah, I really don’t think an RX 6600 build would outperform the PS5 Pro at all, that doesn’t line up with what I’ve heard at all

    From what I’ve heard, an RX 7700 XT build might be pretty close though, and a basic build with one of those and a 5600 would be not that much more than a PS5 Pro, which does definitely go to show how crap the PS5 Pro price is (especially since that CPU is probably better than the one in the PS5 Pro)




  • The literal only argument here is just “I don’t have to use a bunch of Google tabs anymore because ChatGPT can lie to me all in one place!!” lmao

    Like, the only way this works is if ChatGPT is literally always correct at all times (which will never be the case fundamentally), because otherwise it’s even worse than the existing process of just using Google because it’s just another step before you end up needing to do that anyway

    This isn’t even one of those “oh in the made-up future where ChatGPT is magically perfect, this will be useful, therefore we should support AI-bros right now so we can get there” types of things, this is just assuming that ChatGPT in its current form is somehow a good research tool which is just about the opposite of the case



  • God, passive language in news articles mentioning cops is so beyond parody at this point that I can’t even tell what headlines mean anymore

    cw: animal death

    Headline: “Dogs attack woman, police discharge service weapon”

    The officer discharged their service weapon striking the animals. The dogs died on scene.

    I actually had to look at the article and read that sentence to even tell what they meant by that headline, I was seriously wondering if they just fired in the air or something, I would never use “police discharge service weapon” to refer to cops fatally shooting something lmao



  • We’re literally Canadian and yet my brother was just in here trying to sing the praises of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to me, I was trying really hard to not tell him to fuck right off

    The fact that he’s expecting me to be happy about people who are pro-genocide because of some token “progressive” promises (that probably won’t even mean anything once elected) is infuriating, especially when those promises don’t even affect us in particular


  • I use mine all the time, I love this thing even with its quirks

    One of my favorite things about it is that it brings the full power of Steam Input (the input remapping system made for the Steam Controller and available for other controllers) to a handheld, I’m already a Steam Input diehard who plays as many games as possible with a controller so this is the best handheld for me, I’ve played a lot of games on here that normally use keyboard and mouse controls


  • Oh I don’t have a front basket on mine actually, I’m just dangling my helmet off the handlebar in that photo (unless you meant to reply to someone else like OP)

    But I know you can get aftermarket front baskets/racks, just be careful if you get a mountain bike or something because not every front rack works with bikes that have front suspension (since the lower part of the fork moves up and down on those)

    Personally I prefer a rear rack with a detachable pannier bag, my bike came with the rack (since that’s where the battery goes in on this one) and I got the bag cheap enough on Amazon, I can wear it over my shoulder when I get where I’m going and then just clip it back on the bike when I leave, you could also attach a basket or milk crate or whatever, which I gotta start doing eventually so I can carry more groceries

    It also came with the fenders too, though of course those can also be bought aftermarket for bikes that don’t have them

    Only other thing I wish it came with was lights, a lot of ebikes are capable of having their lights be directly powered by the motor’s battery so you don’t need to charge them separately, I’m using USB-charged ones for now which I gotta worry about separately


  • I love ebikes!!

    Here’s mine!! It normally isn’t glowing, but I had the LED tape on it for a group ride a few months ago and I still love how it looked then, it cycled through trans flag colors and everything 😊

    I don’t have my license quite yet and our public transit kinda sucks so I’m reliant on this thing to get around a lot of the time, I still definitely plan on continuing to use it once I have my license though

    There’s a grocery store nearby that I can get to in less than 10 minutes on this thing on a mixed-use “shared sidewalk” and I love doing it even though I can’t carry all that much (I could use another bag, and I should probably strap a milk crate on sometime)




  • Hobby subs mainly, but also that the Linux subs are somehow significantly better than the ones on Lemmy, at least some people on there know what they’re talking about and aren’t just circlejerking about the usual things lmao

    I find that the Lemmy community (outside of here and Hexbear of course) is usually not better than reddit, in fact it’s often worse, a lot of the people who moved over are the most reddit logo-brained people around lol
