Quote from: kitler53 on Feb 23, 2026, 11:27 PMI was looking into building a NAS late last year. newegg has a NAS builder I thought was nice. they had probably at least 100 options. I got into indecision paralysis and kind of thought things were too expensive.

looked earlier this year and there are like maybe 12 options and they are way more expensive.

no NAS for me at these prices.

Yeah. It's probably going to be a rough year or two.

I'm just trying to keep my stuff going.

I watched a movie that had a guy that I knew from school talent shows. He always tap danced.

In this movie he was just an awkward 4th wheel in a naughtiness scene

HDDs seem like they're getting hit hard by the AI stuff. I ordered a 20 TB drive (though I'm going to add it to the RAID, so only 18 TB will be usable for me. But that was the best deal to get.

Think I'll try to get 1 more...

Think that would put me at 126 TB of usable space.

It's so bad. ChatGPT is basically worthless at the moment with all this stuff.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 23, 2026, 06:12 PMKind of making me sad how much progress has slowed.

Like the Steam Frame feels kind of incremental compared to Quest 2 that came out 6 years ago.

Michael Abrash (Chief Scientist at Meta VR) in 2016, was predicting in 5 years, that we would have 4k x 4k per eye displays. Like almost a 16x jump in 5 years. Instead we've seen a 4x jump in 10.

And that 4x jump was basically there 6 years ago.

AR with AI will at least keep the tech moving forward, but yeah it sucks.

Quote from: nnodley on Feb 23, 2026, 03:43 PMGamers aren't into AI. This is even worse for Xbox than Phil ever could have been, imo.

old man gamers don't like AI. i doubt my son cares one way or another.

i think old people forget how bad a kids tastes are. this weekend i unplug alexa when they played some song where the voice was digitally altered to sound like a baby sang "coconut, coconut, coconut, coconut..." over and over for the entire song.

last night i was listening to the kids in my scout troop talking about "grow a garden" on roblox. i looked up a video today and i'm not all surprised it is appealing to kids. bright. cheery. silly. ...it's massively more appealing to a kid than dark and dreary games that pushed on playstation/steam.
