Yeah you’re probably right, it may not be AI, but it’s definitely edited/manipulated. Some of the windows are repeated several times.

Yup. There also weird double broken lane markings. Everyone’s headlights being blue as well.

World's first ovarian cancer vaccine being developed in UK 'could wipe out the disease' by scytale in c/news@lemmy.world

Well at least ovarian cancer isn’t airborne and contagious like covid. So antivaxxers can avoid it all they want, it’s their choice if they want to die from a disease that they could’ve prevented.

What's your personal little conspiracy theory? by scytale in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago

I dunno man. My new build house (nothing fancy, just a basic starter SFH) is pretty great at staying cool. We can keep the thermostat at 78 all day and we’re comfy.

Advice getting around YouTube sign in requirements? (or away from YouTube entirely?) by scytale in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

cheap as hell

Is it really? For hosting your content, sure. But once you stand up a public instance, I can imagine storage costs would climb pretty quickly.

Go to Cozy Anime by scytale in c/anime@lemmy.ml

I saw this last year because I happened upon it on netflix: Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai. It’s a bit horny, but it does have a lot of slice-of-life scenes and moments.

IOS browser suggestions? by scytale in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Orion is the only other choice. And to be fair, Safari with content blockers works fine too; but obviously it’s not an in-built adblocker that you are specifically asking.

Non-Americans who have been to the US.. What is the weirdest thing about America that Americans don't realize is weird? by scytale in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Drive thru ATMs. Also, people just sitting in their cars without driving.

What do you think of Uncle Roger, the comedy and food reviews he does ? by scytale in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

He's ok. I'm very familiar with Asian cooking, so I get the jokes very well. It gets repetitive after a while though.

Not getting new color scheme on iPhone 14 Pro Max after IOS 17 update (lemm.ee)

We have a 12 and 14 ProMax and I noticed the new color scheme change on the 12. For example, the yellow to red-orange change on the calculator buttons, and the blue to dark-blue change on the wifi/data/BT/airplane buttons in control center. However, it didn't change on the 14. Anyone know if there's a setting somewhere to change this?

NewJeans - Cool With You (side A, link to side B in the post text) [Kpop][2023] (www.youtube.com)

I know a lot people dismiss kpop, but some newer kpop groups have released some serious quality music videos, this one being a very recent example. It's a 2-parter video to complete the story, so after watching side A, make sure to watch side B:

[Hardware question] Mini pc / compact desktop suggestions (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 year ago by scytale@lemm.ee to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

13 comments fedilink

I was an avid single player gamer a long long time ago (15+ years) and the recent Quake II remaster sparked the nostalgia in me and now I want start playing all my favorite classic games (StarCraft, Diablo II, Quake 2 and 3, Battlefield 2, etc.) again.

The problem is I mostly have old hardware. My old HP laptop running Arch just died recently and my old MSI laptop running Mint that I use as a media player connected to my tv is too slow to run games properly.

So I was thinking of buying one of those mini PCs or compact desktops that run around $200-$250 to dual boot Windows (don’t wanna waste the free license if it comes with it) and Linux and use it as a gaming machine. I’m so behind with pc specs nowadays so I wanted to ask the community for recommendations. I’ll be playing mostly the classic games above and their remastered versions so I don’t really need a top of the line machine, just something decent that isn’t too far behind and can still run some current games if I ever find anything new interesting.

Any suggestions please? Thanks!
