Have you compared NES games on a CRT with the same games on a modern screen?
CRTs just look miles better.

Use something other than gnome and, while you’re at it, you might as well use something other than ubuntu.
KDE is very hard to break, you can go wild with customization there.
Unfortunately you need something with long firmware and software support. Qualcomm is your enemy, they stop updating the firmware of their chips after about two years and that’s why android phones often stop getting updates less than 2 years after you buy them.
That’s mostly politics as well.
Over here in germany, tipping is synonymous with cash and using the tip feature of apps is frowned upon because it adds an unnecessary middleman.
Not sure how transferrable that is to other countries, us germans really like cash.
Try Smarttube, it’s a joy to use.
It’s just like with programming: The people who are scared of AI taking their jobs are usually bad at them.
AI is incredibly good at regurgitating information and translation, but not at understanding. Programming can be viewed as translation, so they are good at it. LLMs on their own won’t become much better in terms of understanding, we’re at a point where they are already trained on all the good data from the internet. Now we’re starting to let AIs collect data directly from the world (chatGPT being public is just a play to collect more data), but that’s much slower.
I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.
A linux PC would involve some amount of tinkering.
The steam deck is foolproof, a 6 year old can play games on it with no issues, so it’s a console. The PC mode is just a nice extra.
We’re lucky to have valve. They actually managed to make a console without the downsides of a console.
My OLED deck has arrived today, can’t wait to use it.
Excel is a problem since it changes constantly and relies so much on the mouse. I’m a developer and struggle every time I’m forced to use it.
Search engines have also gotten terrible over the last few years so it’s a pretty bad time to learn how to use a computer. Old videos from the 90s and 2000s are great to learn the basics, but unfortunately you can’t really follow along.
Paid courses for the basics of MS office exist, maybe you’ll be able to find one that starts from zero and teaches the basics of using a computer at all.
Definitely make sure your GPU supports 8k at reasonable refresh rates before buying anything. During the early days of 4k, monitor makers would get a lot of unhappy customers who learned the hard way that their macbook only does 4k at 30hz.
Yeah we need to stop giving corporations rights that only humans deserve.
lemmy.sdf.org is rock solid. I have an account there for when feddit.de has issues.
Disable HDMI CEC in the settings. It’s designed to let the Xbox turn on the TV or vice versa, but it’s very buggy and can cause stuff like that to happen.
If you wrote good code, even a caveman would understand it.
Do you think the cars on amazon will be cheaper than sticker price and save you the negotiation?
First Mario movie is definitely worth a watch. Just don’t be sober.
Factorio space exploration, currently rushing to design and build walls while shooting biters because for some reason disabling biter expansion only affects the starting planet and my evolution factor is getting so high that half of the biters are behemoths and my outposts are being overrun.
CRTs don’t have pixels so the resolution of the signal isn’t that important. It’s about the inherent softness you get from the technology. It’s better than any anti-aliasing we have today.
