The purpose of a system is what it does.

An underused word to be sure

I did what I could to earn enough money to pay my rent, support my pets, and put food on my table.

Also, my current views on ads have been largely formed in a gradual process over the last 5-7 years, while I've been working in VO long before then.

If it's any consolation to you, AI has devoured most of my market in the last 3 years and left me with maybe 5-10% of the work I used to get.

you're one of them

More accurately I WAS one of them, but people change 😊

It's the smarmy, overly excited, commercial voices for me. And I'm saying that as a VO artist who's produced HUNDREDS of smarmy, overly excited commercials over the years. I'm so sick of it. I've taken drastic steps to try and block all ads from my life. Somehow it's never enough.

Don't think there's any new info in the video.

I find it's actually increasingly difficult. More and more of these government thugs have access to private tailored services for LEOs which wipe their online presence entirely. A measure of privacy not offered to the filthy peasants. Some even go under different names, which makes you wonder why they're so ashamed of their profession.

It's Kyle Sue and Benjamin Harris.

I'm curious about when we might see the next AMD refresh for the Framework Laptop 13. The current top-spec option is the Ryzen 7 7840U, which was introduced in early 2023 and started shipping in Q3 2023. Given AMD's latest offerings and Framework's history of timely updates, soon we might expect to see a new mainboard featuring AMD's newer CPUs, like those from the Ryzen 8040 series or the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series.

  • Ryzen 7 7840U:
    • Architecture: Zen 4
    • Cores/Threads: 8/16
    • Base/Boost Clock: 3.3 GHz / 5.1 GHz
    • TDP: 15-28W
    • Integrated GPU: Radeon 780M

Potential New CPUs:

  • Ryzen 8040 Series: Higher base and boost clocks, improved power efficiency, and enhanced RDNA 2 or RDNA 3 integrated graphics.
  • Ryzen 9000 Series: Zen 5 architecture, up to 16 cores and 32 threads, improved AI processing capabilities, and better power efficiency.

Framework has consistently updated its laptops with the latest Intel and AMD CPUs, so it seems we might be due for a refresh soon.

What are your expectations for the next AMD mainboard refresh?

 

I was a long-time subscriber to Sync For Reddit, until the great third party app purge last year when I just boycotted Reddit altogether. Now, a year later, I'm looking to fill that content hole with Lemmy, and stumbled across Sync For Lemmy. I love it! The one functionality I miss from SFR was the embedded player for YouTube videos. It seems that YouTube links will open only in the YouTube app or the external web browser. Is there a plan to reimplement the built-in player?
