Sam Altman always rubbed me the wrong way. He always seemed like he was trying to be the “humble” Steve Jobs - just as tyrannical and stubborn, but he was doing it “to better humanity” with AI. I call bullshit, he’s just another tech billionaire asshole.
With all these billionaires popping up how do we keep forgetting that the guillotine exists?
I sank ENDLESS hours in GT4. That is one of my favorite games of all time. I would love to see a retooling of GT4 in the GT 5 or 6 engine, but I’ll take this.
I still have a save that I kept because the in game days were right before the black GT1 Cars went up in the used section.
Give it a week. Their twitter account apparently acknowledged it may be coming soon.
I’ve been using Mlem since week 2 and I have no idea if I’m missing anything or not. I’ve never visited any instance on anything but Mlem.
I have Sonos and it is meh. They just issued an apology in the app for how bad their app got, so I can’t really recommend it.
I keep seeing good reviews about Audio Pro. I don’t know too much about them, but they seem to have the same idea of multi-room audio.
Self hosting is the big caveat. There’s a lot of great software options, but the hardware can get to be a bit limiting if you don’t wanna play with common protocols like AirPlay or Chromecast.
Additionally, you could do a Denon or Marantz receiver or Soundbar with multi zone and cover at least 2 spaces wired and add wireless zones via their Heos protocol.
There’s also HomePod, Alexa, or even Bluetooth speakers like the UE Boom or JBL series that you can daisy chain Bluetooth speakers together. No real soundbar solution with this option. Ironically JBL Soundbars don’t communicate with their Bluetoo speakers.
Audio Engine makes some fine speakers that support WiFi or Bluetooth and all they need is power.
Kef has the incredible but pricey LS series of bookshelf and tower speakers. They are independently powered and support all kinds of wireless protocols including AirPlay.
There are a ton of audio solutions nowadays but a lot of them will still require either a wire somewhere or playing with standardized protocols.
I too wish there were a more “self hosted” options. It seems like sooner or later some more viable options will come to light though.
I legit thought it was Steve-O
I feel like that’s the point of using that picture though.
Maybe I’m in the minority, but I like my EcoTank. I got it cause we print a decent amount of pictures and laser can’t do even passing quality photos. Having no cartridges to worry about is much less of a hassle than it used to be.
That said, laser is fine for most people.

Also because there is less content its more meaningful. There’s a lot of fluff and garbage on Reddit just so people can get karma.
Projector guy here. Once you get a taste you don’t wanna go back. The tech has gotten so much better over the last 10 years and short throw projectors are a game changer.
What’s sad is that t one of the next great leaps in technology could have been something interesting and profound. Unfortunately, capitalism gonna capitalize and companies we’re so thirsty to make a buck off it that we didn’t do anything to properly and carefully roll out or next great leap.
Money really ruins everything.
Just don’t have a lot to say, or time to say it.
Why else? They don’t think it’s “worth it” because they only have so much money to go around and they don’t want to waste it on bullshit like needlessly expensive laundry detergent compared to their salary.
When a bottle of detergent is 2/3 your hourly wage why the hell wouldn’t you want to steal some if you could?
Man, capitalists will do literally anything to not pay people more money. You know people steal cause shit is expensive and they don’t have a lot of disposable income to waste on stuff right? Why inconvenience everyone. Pay people more and hire more workers.
Also cause the propaganda to get people to “want” stuff is so effective they start stealing just to have it.
I got counterfeit Dove soap.
So far ahead of its time. I can’t recommend this series enough to anyone who considers themselves even kinda left.
