I know it’s in vogue to shit on Apple…
Apple does have a lot of vertical integration which allows first party stuff to function well and they work closely with a lot of their premium 3rd party software partners, but you try running an actual RAM hungry process like a local LLM model, for example, and all but the highest end latest edition MacBook Pro WILL shit the bed.
Completely laughable. Literally had 16 GB of DDR3-1600 for my 2600K from 2011 that I handed down to a kid nephew for their first PC to tinker with. Hell, my local NAS has more than that…
How is it that 2 days after this posted no one has said “Craigslist.”

Because the world shifted to the right a bunch more regarding sexual content… fucking websites now want you to show your ID in some states to view porn.
I think acclaimed director Paul Verhoeven put it best when he called our country a land full of gleefully violent prudes when people freaked out about his use of sexuality, nudity and people being comfortable naked around members of the opposite sex.
Payday 2 was a really novel idea a long time ago. Highly scripted replayable missions with unique aspects but RNG for procedurally variable elements like guard patrol positions, locations and security aspects… in addition to dynamic changes based off how successful the player was at doing a job without letting security escalate the mission to going “loud.”
It made otherwise boring repetitive loops of missions feel new and different enough each time that it was exciting. Being randomly matched with others fed into the unpredictable heist aspect as well…
But instead of focusing on constantly further improving upon those systems, fixing terrible issues related to both friendly and antagonistic A.I. (I remember how for the longest time your teammates could not literally pick up a duffle bag), they saw dollar signs with in-app-purchases… and with Payday 3, they doubled down on that aspect… so no one got on board… and eventually longtime players like myself stopped playing Payday 2 as well.
…a spellchecker on steroids.
Ask literally any of the LLM chat bots out there still using any headless GPT instances from 2023 how many Rs there are in “strawberry,” and enjoy. 🍓
Oh man, I hate it when that happens…
…I mean… you should probably share the streamer’s Twitch handle so we can all avoid seeing those kinds of videos, since that would be terrible to be forced to see something that terrible.
Yattee on iOS works sometimes depending on whether or not YouTube has blocked an instance, but you could also try setting up your own local invidious instance to hook into it as a more permanent solution, though that was too much for me to figure out how to set up correctly.

Pretty fun dumb thing to play with. Use it to entertain friends and impress Luddites tech-illiterate boomers like my Dad.
Occasionally someone is able to manually finesse it into making it do something actually cool.
Edit : To be clear, I support artists and do NOT support the replacement of genuine and meaningful art created by individual minds.
At the same time, I also would pay to watch a live real human choir + orchestra performance of that “Newton’s Genius” song if someone put that LLM song to sheet music.
At this point, I treat Adobe like malware on my personal systems.
Enshittification seems to be accelerating.

Not amazing like some people say…
You have got to be joking. Andor’s “No Way Out” is literally one of the highest rated episodes of television on all of IMDB.
If you think Andor is “mid,” you are very much in the minority, bud.
Andor is - and I do not say this lightly - the best Star Wars related media since the original films.
I will agree the show has a slow start, but by the time I watched “The Eye” episode, I couldn’t wait to see the next.
It is the political thriller Lucas wishes he could have written for the prequels but didn’t have his ex-wife around to help curb his terrible dialogue nor save in the editing bay.
If you don’t like it, I would be curious as to what Star Wars besides the original films it is you do consider better than Andor and why.
Valve showed how to do this right years ago at this point with the Steam Deck.
Boom. Scalper market collapsed for Steam Deck, PS5, etc.
Was gonna say - how long after Elden Ring did Shadow of the Erdtree DLC come out?
