Haha, totally fair. I'll admit I hadn't seen much about cyberdecks and now am a little annoyed by this article. Some questions about the ergonomics on this one for sure, but still worth sharing I suppose.

 

Would you buy a computer made of wood for the price of a used car? Maybe not. But you should be glad they exist.

For sure. Though if you make 350k, you should be able to pay back 200k loans in 2 or 3 years easy.

Consumer spending in general is actually still quite strong, but the growth has slowed a bit.

AI summary:

  • Brave Browser has marketed itself as a privacy-preserving web browser and has gained attention from cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
  • The company behind Brave, founded by Brendan Eich, faced backlash due to Eich's previous donation in support of California's Proposition 8, which aimed to ban same-sex marriage.
  • Brave initially planned to replace ads with its own ad units and split revenue with publishers, but this idea was met with legal issues and criticism from both inside and outside the company.
  • Brave introduced Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) as a way to reward users for viewing ads and content, but the rewards are minimal and the value of BAT is volatile.
  • Brave has incorporated various cryptocurrency-related features, including a full crypto wallet, but many of its crypto partners have faced controversies and scandals.
  • Brave was involved in a privacy scandal in which affiliate codes were added to URLs typed into the address bar, allowing the company to collect revenue from user signups or purchases.
  • The article concludes that Brave is a flawed software project and should not be used, recommending Firefox or Vivaldi as privacy-focused alternatives.

Yeah, particularly chat in a meeting, it feels so barebones.

Curious -- not saying it's great, but I don't think the Zoom UX is much better, personally. What bothers you about Teams, if I might ask?

Wait, importing what?

[–] cutitdown@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Absoltuely. Definitely depends on what you're listening to. Gotta be able to adjust per podcast.

That's a decent solution, but unfortunately doesn't have handy podcast app features like silence trimming, voice boosting, etc. Great suggestion though!

 

You can’t make this $hit up. 🚀💰 Get invested in the insane true story that shocked the world. Watch the #DumbMoneyMovie trailer now! Coming exclusively to movie theaters September 22.

Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world’s hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.

Dumb Money also stars Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley and Seth Rogen. Directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo, based on the book “The Antisocial Network” by Ben Mezrich.
