  • Tell me you didn’t read the article whithout telling me you didn’t read the article. The point this article is making is that AI is driving up the cost of purchasing NEW components, and that this issue is affecting console makers as well as the PC market. Additionally, consoles that have been out for several years, (PS5 released in 2020,) haven’t dropped in price, since in theory, demand should be low by now, but instead the prices have risen since their original release date.

    I updated my PC a year ago, because before that I was rocking DDR3 ram and a 12 year old processor and GTX1060. My old PC was struggling to render newer titles with high settings and was not win11 compatible.

    Fuck the gamers that want to upgrade their rigs to play newer titles on high, or people that don’t already have a PC or console and are making their first purchase, DireTech already has a PC that can play titles and a backlog of games.

    Right. I’ve always wanted to hug MTF trans people extra hard. You lose your male privilege and get to be harassed/be fearful of men, or you try and live as your sex assigned at birth with crushing gender dysphoria that can lead to depression + other mental health issues.



  • I am concerned about what is done with the data generated via the saved recording and transcription. Yes I live in the USA. Our government is currently kidnapping people off the street and disappearing them for being brown. They are attempting to build databases identifying trans people. So yeah, I’m concerned that the third party my doctor is using, MYIO, could sell the data/transcripts, and before I know it I end up on a government list and disappeared because I am gay. Could the theft of this data being generated by the app lead to identity theft? MYIO says the videos aren’t stored long term, and everything is encrypted; but companies like and the monetary penalties are just rolled into the cost of doing business. This isn’t a note taking app, there are already plenty of transcribers on the market. This is something entirely different.

    I’ve already had my identity stolen and credit cards opened in my name.

    And no one is going to “MAKE” me change doctors. That’s something I decide for myself.
