kinda like gamers in general.

Cry, and cry, and cry, and stir up a big shit storm about whatever the latest greatest grievance is… Then continue to speak with their wallet by shoveling hundreds of dollars to the companies doing all the atrocious shit they hate and complain about.

It really should be a crime to post pictures like this without saying who it is.

never underestimate AMDs ability to shoot itself in the foot when its not under immediate threat of collapse/bankruptcy.

i really hope nvidia collapses when the AI bubble pops. They’ve been more harm than good for consumers for too long.

Scepter is the only brand I know of that still makes Dumb TVs.

But the screen quality on them can be a real roll of the dice.

just get rid of Smart TVs in general. Go back to simple dumb TVs.

If I want smart features, I can slap a Roku or something else on the TV.

I switched to Linux when Windows 7 became EoL.

Anyone paying attention to what they were doing with 10, knew what would be coming with 11… and somehow its even worse than expected… thanks to the sudden appearance of the greatest environmental disaster of our time… AI.

Shhh, back in the locker with you. You’ll be with your mother soon.

no no, you rake fires.

Yep, and that added complexity to make a dumb TV smart, just means theres more parts that are likely to die and make ethe TV not work.

Its bullshit that the only way to get large dumb TVs anymore is to roll the dice on a Scepter… Which, given how they procure their screens, could either give you a great TV or a shit TV.

Yeah, exactly. TVs were better back then. they were more durable (The Wiimote accidents would never send a CRT to the dump), and actually repairable.

and they lasted decades. Hell, I’ve seen people find CRT TVs found abandoned in fields for years and bring them back with minimal effort.

as long as the tube/neck of a CRT is intact, it will run/be repairable.

By that logic, I should go out and just start a murder spree, because people die anyway so whats the point.

The coathanger experiment should have been the coffin lid on all the audiophile/overpriced super ultra premium cable bullshit.

TV manufacturers salivated at the idea of TV resolution, hoping desperately to turn the TV market into something like the PC market, in that you have to upgrade every 5ish years to stay on top of technology and use the latest stuff to artificially increase sales beyond what their already abysmal build qualities provide them.

I’m glad the plan is failing spectacularly.

Hopefully this forces them to think more about quality and start focusing on TVs that actually last now… You know, like we used to have 30 years ago.

“You’re wrong on your opinion of apples! So heres a list of positives about oranges that totally disproves your comments about apples!”

the only socially acceptable interaction with a nazi, is punching the nazi.

I continue to argue that it was nothing but a Psyop campaign to test how to manipulate the American public by the chinese government. and tI doubt that lingering, baseline purpose has changed at all with the new right wing propagandist owners.

Just look at all those insane “trends” it got people to do, like Kicking in strangers front doors, assaulting people, destroying public property, etc etc.

It turned violent sociopathy into an upvoteable activity.

Amazing how every time you think they’ve finally stopped digging… they whip out the steam shovel and go “Hey y’all, watch this!”

Zyklon-B, the pesticide used in the gas chambers, was still being manufactured, sold and used (for its intended pesticide usage) all the way up until the 2010s iirc.

and this was still under the Zyklon name.
