Think you mean to respond to the other comment fyi

as long as your banks engineers are at least somewhat competent

Let’s be realistic here lol

The best is when it fails to verify, offers no backup option, and you’re simply blocked from accessing your own bank account or government website. Fuck cloudflare

My favorite is “up to x or more”

Mfer you’re telling me nothing, that’s literally all real numbers lmao

AI companies are working on that

There’s a degree to which this is a supply that creates demand, I feel. Maybe there’s a better way to put it.

When I had a 720p laptop, it was perfectly fine. I played games and watched movies and never felt like I was viewing things in low quality. Once I got 1080p, I could tell things were better, but they weren’t like shockingly, orgasmicly better. 720p, though, felt borderline unusable once I got used to 1080p.

The same thing happened prior to this with old box tvs/monitors, and with older video games. I played the shit out of FNV and the graphics and gameplay seemed fine. Having played modern games, though, FNV feels janky and LQ (despite having better than average writing).

I’m consciously avoiding 4K for this reason.

I’m coming around on audio to some degree, but still prefer to hit the “80% of perfect” before diminished returns start curving up, wrt earphones and such

God my current setup is patched together and hanging by a thread. Not super tech savvy so it usually takes a dedicated deep dive for me to set everything up (and all the focus and motivation that entails). So if something goes wrong while I’m trying to work, I’m more likely to find a quick workaround and make a note to fix things later.

Except five years later I haven’t truly fixed anything lmao. Gonna just do a clean install one of these days, if I can decide on a distro.
