Not a dickhead at all. I hate when YouTubers do this and actively avoid videos that do it. Regardless of the quality of the content, the practice is a red flag for clickbait and untrustworthiness.

If Reddit is good at anything it's clickbait headlines. LLMs are gonna level up in that department.

Like Reddit, there are niche communities like one for my 3d printer and stuff like that. But I do dread the trash heap I see being reposted for mocking. Guess I'll see.

Dear God. I gag whenever I see the monstrosity that is the YouTube homepage without my logged in recommendations. I'd hate to see what's served completely randomly. I thought daytime television was a vapid wasteland, but it's nothing compared to unadulterated YouTube.

Maybe vapid is the wrong word, but y'all know what I'm getting at.

I know there's always someone evangelizing Linux when you mention Windows anything, but when Microsoft requires a subscription for Windows is the day I will actually move to Linux.

My Gaming Laptop Replacement (lemmy.world)
 

My old gaming laptop, a Sager NP9752 with a GTX 980m, was a beast when I bought it, but it's started to feel its age. Though it's still very usable, I decided it was time for something new. I'm obsessed with small powerhouses, so when I found out about the Ally I was intrigued. For a while, I was indecisive going between the Steam Deck and the Ally. What cinched the deal was the XG Mobile dock. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any in stock, Amazon has it way over priced, and the 4090 version would take it way out of the price I'm willing to pay for such a thing. Luck would have it, I found one Best Buy that had a used 6850 version that was $100 dollars cheaper than MSRP. I've been using this setup for a couple of weeks now, and color me impressed. This thing works very well as a laptop replacement. The little annoyances are outweighed by the portability. And I do take it out with me way more than I did the laptop.

That's all. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
