I dunno that I want “LLM Siri”. Most of the AI stuff I’ve seen so far has been garbage.

Why call it “Born Again Season 2”? Why not just give it a new subtitle every season?

Would Canada be interested in joining the EU? Might make sense considering what a bad neighbor the US has become.

What is the best looking retro console or PC? in c/retrogaming
[–] reddig33 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

That display had some cool features that were underutilized — like an s-video port for video camera capture. Also some of the best sound to come out of an Apple monitor.

~~But I don’t know that I would call this a”console”.~~

I never understood the choice to put a flowchart on the front of this one. 😆

Why does there have to be just one? So many consoles are awesomely designed and reflect their eras well. I’m partial to colecovision and the Intellivision II. The redesign of the intellivision had an entire suite of peripherals to match the new design, including a musical keyboard.

Then I guess Florida has nothing to worry about. I’ve never heard of wind energy killing anyone. Did someone fall off a turbine while servicing it or something?

Because of they name the manufacturer in the headline, you might not click through and see the embedded ads.

Thought this was interesting. You’d think fare payments would be a solved problem, but somehow Siemens managed to screw it up.

Hey Mr Heat Miser (self.severance)

The claymation video was probably the best part of the first episode. The Rankin Bass nod was fantastic.

For those of you that aren’t old enough to catch it…

“Hilariously, the video (which is narrated by Lumon's literal office building) doubles as a claymation recap of season 1—right down to a not-on-my-Severance-bingo-card reference to the Heat Miser in The Year Without a Santa Claus.”

Going in circles (self.severance)

I think this show is making the same mistake as “Stranger Things” by just stretching the same characters and story across five seasons. The first season was perfect. I’d rather see a new storyline in season two with new characters and a time jump. The season one characters have had their story already told.

Also casting directors please stop casting the same people over and over. Here comes Alia Shawkat fresh off her 20 episode stint on “The Old Man”. Next thing you know, Pedro Pascal is going to pop up on Severance too. One of the nice things about Severance is all the actors I hadn’t seen before or seen in a long time (Bob Balaban!).

Between AI, voice cloning, and modern CGI I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a real computer-generated talk show host.

Does getting a flu shot do anything for bird flu? (self.asklemmy)

I keep hearing I should get a flu shot to help prevent bird flu — but I thought flu shots only prevented illness from the particular strains the shot was designed for. Does getting a traditional flu shot do anything to prevent bird flu transmission?

Silo season 2 - anyone else watching? (self.television)

[SPOILERS]

So far I’m kind of disappointed that they are showing what’s going on in the first Silo. Makes it feel like we are going in circles.

I wish they had edited it so we see Juliet’s adventure until she finally leaves to return to the original silo. Then do an episode of catch up as to what has been happening there. Then her arrival.

Honestly I was far more interested in what’s happening outside the Silo and the mystery, and not rehashing the characters from the first season other than Juliet.

If you’ve read the books — are they following the story pretty closely?
