Hey hey, check your facts, the Shield did get an update recently. They did in fact add ads to the home screen./s But I assume you mean a hardware upgrade.

But on a serious note I don’t see a reason why I need anything else than the Shield. It has flaws and bugs but generally plays everything. Combined with my Plex home server the experience is great. Can take the shield anywhere I go and stream content from my home server.

I play everything in 4k blueray remux without any problems (except for a memory leak every few weeks).

Netherlands. Politicians are still terrible but miles better than the US situation.

True but does not change the fact that I cannot vote.

I despise the republicans but would never vote for some demented puppet.

Luckily I’m not a USA citizen so I need not worry.

CPU upgrade is necessary as it will bottleneck even your current 1070 in some games. This will get worse with a new GPU. I had the 6700k and got no performance improvement upgrading from a 980ti to 1080ti.

I agree completely. I do believe good journalism is getting rarer. If it’s not bad data it’s people calling themselves journalists while they just amend chat GPT articles.

If that is what you read from my comment then you’re just trying to form a narrative. I did not call LMG news. I was also not covering the incidents on which GN is reporting (I definitely agree that this is gross). I was just balancing your comment which is overly negative of a company (and more specifically Linus) which has grown enormously over the past years. Reality is just not as black and white. LMG has problems and should take responsibility but LMG still provides a benefit to many people and they seem to have great and fun employees who genuinely want to do good.

I agree with GN that if you’re presenting yourself as a data channel you need to take more responsibility. I just never treated LMG as such a channel. For me again it’s about the stupid entertainment and not their data driven content. I don’t respect their data. I would never recommend a friend to watch LMG content to form an opinion. Your “fox” example would better apply if I had said that I knew LMG was presenting bad data but that it’s not that bad because it’s just fun and all.

You may not like Linus but he is undoubtedly a successful business person and a great entertainer for a large public. An opinion is no problem but these things are just hard facts. LMG is a big success and Linus has played a major role in it.

The numbers don’t lie, content from LMG is just much more populair than content drom GN for example. It is way more accessible in my opinion. I feel like GN and LMG should not be compared as they have an entirely different audience. You seem to be a great example of that. If I want to have excellent reporting I go to GN if I just want a quick dopamine hit by seeing a few idiots cool a pc with an oversized turbine I go to LMG. I believe both are great but opinions differ.

I don’t know man I live in the Netherlands and it seems really 50/50 whether someone accepts “uncommon” meat. I personally feel weird thinking about eating dog/cat meat or crickets even though I understand that it is not a rational thought (assuming you’re fine with other meat of course).
