I member, that's the moment when he's getting a little bit tired and decides that he'll go live on a farm upstate.

Hmm it seems that the YouTube app is no longer supported on our (admittedly old) Samsung Smart TV, wasn't exactly cheap either. X(

I think it was because no ads would play on any of the videos for some reason. Wondering if I should just get one of those Chromecast Apple TV thingies or just use an old laptop as a HTPC....probably the latter. It is a bit annoying having to boot up and stuff though, was nice how you could use your phone to control the YouTube TV app.

The only problem would be that you would have to watch ads w/ set-top boxes (Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, etc.) unless you pay for Youtube Red. At least with Chromecast, if you're mirroring a computer, you can avoid ads if you cast with adblocking software. Phone would be trickier since I think only certain apps will support Chromecast outside of Chrome. Not sure if chromecast functionality is built into Android now. If it is you can just cast your phone then use Brave or Firefox + uBlock Origin.

Hmmmm the basic 1080p Chrome Cast is only 59 dollarydoos....might be worth getting actually. All I'd really need it for is 'sharing' YouTube videos when guests are over, seems like it'll do the trick nicely (not too fussed by any ads). I somehow had it in my mind that it'd be over $100 ahahah.

So apparently there's some shenanigans going on with the Vega MSRP, people are saying AMD have pulled a fast one and effectively increased the price by $100 by 'forcing' you to purchase the pack with the 2 included games. I can totally understand retailers setting high prices due to demand and stuff, but this feels a little dirty.

I thought the launch MSRP was the early adopter price and that they would increase it by $100 down the road. I didn't read into it too much so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Vega 64 is pretty trash, Vega 56 is actually good, especially at $400 vs. the GTX 1070. I'd take 7-8% better performance and an actual async architecture over 14-18% higher power draw.

Otherwise it's hard to ever recommend red team unless you're mining.


The rap part is annoying IMO. Here is the version without it. :)


First song in that album is by far my favorite.

@ 18if ep07

I'm pretty much watching this show for the music alone by now (also Lily's weekly "onii-chan" because imouto moe...)

Really confused this ep... too tired to think properly, what actually happened IRL?
