Anyway, maybe my concern is misplaced, it just rubbed me wrong.

Normally I find Risky Biz sponsors to be excellent so it just felt like a contrast.

TBH one of the few podcasts I actually WANT to listen to the sponsored sections most of the time.

I Read The Policies So You Don’t Have to: Persona (Secure Identity Verification Solutions) The first of many ‘I Read The Policies So You Don’t Have To’ articles, let’s kick it off with Persona.

I still heavily dislike their privacy policy, good breakdown here: medium.com/@ItsNotNicol...

On that note, YES actually I do avoid every company he has backed, however, that's not because of him, it's just coincidence because they are all shit lol. So fair point regardless.

@patrick.risky.biz Goona be honest, an episode sponsored by Persona sort of bugs me. Their backed by Peter Thiel, have had privacy issues in the past, were at the center of the Discord discourse recently, etc.

They've also got some weird stuff in their privacy policy about who they share data with.

Anyone defending DLSS 5 is like hallucinating or something. It looks like trash, and these were the hand picked examples by NVidia themselves lol.

Thinking back on one of the weirdo convos that happened on here yesterday, I feel like I need to make sure everyone knows that those of us who think EVs are the future of cars are like... not at all married to lithium.

We just think batteries are good! We're open to any kind of battery!

In fact,

Every company right now: "we laid people off because AI is so good, totally not because the economy is suffering and this is an excuse to make our stock go up"

Meanwhile, AWS has a 13 hour outage thanks to adopting AI.

WTF are we doing.

I'm so happy to see that MCP is being done right with #xcpng. Having it setup so it's an add-on and completely optional is the right way to do it, I don't really want my hosts being touched by AI anything lol.

The low profile Keychron board is in, time to see if I like this or not. Been like 6 years since I used a low profile unit.

This thing running #CoreELEC is literally the best media player you can get, absolutely impressed.

I honestly can't decide if I want to use my clicky keyboard with OEM style caps or my tactile board with KSA keycaps lol. Too many great options.

At some point I am going to do a video about Blu-ray failure rates because it's actually insane how many are scratched by default out of the box to the point of being unreadable. Manufacturers really need to take more care.

#Keychron #Q1Ultra first impressions, I'm sorry, but this thing sucks. And that's a first for a Keychron keyboard for me. Out of the box these new POM Brown switches are mushy, too quiet, slow to respond, and have no tactility whatsoever.

The Ugoos AM6B+ flashed with CoreELEC is working exactly as intended and I can finally watch my 4k rips in native bit perfect quality.

Today was yet another reminder to #selfhost all the things. So done with using cloud providers for anything.

So far my experience with Windows on ARM has been surprisingly good actually. Going to work on a dedicated video about it, but it's the most stable Windows experience I've had on a laptop.

Yeah but for people like me that rip 4k DoVi content, it'll only playback without transcoding on a very very small handful of devices. I'd love to just completely prevent it from trying so if one of my users tries to playback the 4k on an unsupported device they just get an error.

It would be really cool if @jellyfin.org could make it so you can adjust transcode settings on a per Library basis. This way you could have a 4k library but tell the system to never transcode that library so you don't end up asking your GPU to transcode anything 4k by mistake.

I love how the Windows Clipboard has been bugged for years now where it just doesn't copy things sometimes when you do a copy operation.

I'm sure all the AI coding Microsoft is using is helping with stability.

Ranked in Marvel Rivals is basically play time, not skill, and that's really sad.

It's just like how Apex Legends used to do it, you're matched against people with your skill level regardless of the rank you are in.

So constantly I fight Celestials while being in Diamond.

I have now been 1 match from ranking up to Grand Master in #MarvelRivals on 8 separate occasions, each time no matter how good the team I am with is, it's a super 1 sided match where we get destroyed.

Keep trying to say this doesn't have #eomm it absolutely does.

Marvel Rivals ranked system is the most broken and blatantly obvious EOMM system I've ever seen.

Every rank up match I have is absolutely horrible, I was on my GM rank up match and end up fighting a 4 stack of recent Celestial III.

#MarvelRivals ranked system is so absolutely EOMM and rigged it's actually insane. Blatantly lying to the public about not using EOMM is nuts, it's too consistently flawlessly engagement farming.

1 match before GM and it gives me literally the worst teamates I've ever had period.
