[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday
  • I don't know about recession, but I know I've hit a personal inflection point with prices where I'm just sick of the bullshit and only buy if absolutely necessary, or on sale.

    Everyone is so fucking greedy, everyone wants just 5 more dollars bro to the point where the consumerism has been driven out of me.

    I actually have money to buy shit, I just don't want to anymore because nothing seems to correspond to its value anymore.

    A new car? 35 k for a fucking base kia, gtfo out with this shit.

    New phone? 1.2k for the same screen bullshit as the last 5 years.

    Same with this PS5, they are pricing this shit like it's lifesaving medicine, when in reality it's just shit no-one really needs

  • US Fascism Has Arrived Thanks to 30 Years of Right-Wing Talk Radio Dominance
  • Those are all fantasies. Every incarnation of a fascist government has always lead to war, famine and suffering from the regular people.

    The fantasy you describe STILL requires cooperation, honestly and trust, which are impossible in a fascist dictatorship.

    At best the 1% get a few years of living the high life like Saddam, but sooner or later it all falls in on itself.

  • US Fascism Has Arrived Thanks to 30 Years of Right-Wing Talk Radio Dominance
  • The key point is they are selling BULLSHIT. Even if you are of the right color / party, you are one misstep away from being burned at the stake.

    That's what most of these MAGA morons don't realize, they aren't going to be the rulers, they'll be cannon fodder for the 1%, and even part of the 1% IE Muskrat will have to watch their backs.

    Fascism benefits no-one in reality... Even the leaders of the movement are constantly watching their backs because their allies are scumbags like themselves.

  • LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers
  • There's just soooo many idiots vs people that care and educate themselves on privacy.

    Every once in a while I visit friends or stay at hotels and catch a glimpse of cable... My God it's just endless ads with minutes of shows sprinkled in.

    And they are paying for it.......

  • It's a choice
  • When your cult gets big enough, you get to call it a religion.

    If you believed in an imaginary friend that talks to you we'd call you crazy, but say that your imaginary friend is Jesus and it's A-OK!

  • Original Punk'd series with Ashton

    Does anyone have any idea where to find the original Punk'd episodes? I was having some nostalgia and it seems like that show was nuked from the internet. Any chance anyone has a copy somewhere somehow?

    Help me understand my bottleneck

    I'm running a raspberry pi 8GB version, as my plex entertainment center. I also ruin a pihole. The pie has an Ethernet connection.

    I have two TV'S, a 2017 Samsung and a 2021 Hisense. Both with Ethernet connections.

    My Samsung tv can't stream certain shows at all, they stutter like crazy I'm guessing it has something to do with the encoders? Yesterday I got a message color range not supported whatever the hell that is.

    The Hisense TV does better on some shows, but still 4k content is unwatchable, it's constantly buffering.

    So, is the problem with the pi? Is it not powerful enough for 4k shows, or some encoding problem or something?

    Or is it the TVS, should I buy a Roku box instead, would that solve the streaming problems?

    Does lemmy have a way to show the number of downvotes / up votes?

    I'm using wefwef and I only see the total number for a post. So +15 or - 12 or whatever.

    That's how it is on reddit and I believe it's one of the main reason discussion turned so toxic. Everyone is just looking at the number and deciding if a point is valid.

    Seeing a comment with -1000/+900 is a lot different than just seeing - 100.

    I believe it fosters toxicity and stifles discussion.
