I’ve heard how the work culture can be pretty toxic but the amount of thought and care put into every aspect of the experience amazes me. Shame, sony was one of my favorite companies for AV equipment but their newer devices are just not as good as they used to be.

This poor judgement seems to be mostly from the PlayStation decision but I can help to think this is a sign overall company culture shift.

It’s like the drop in quality at Toyota resulting in defects never heard of before (airbag defects, melting wing mirors, faulty screens) or the first Honda I’ve ever owned where the engine had a defect affecting multiple cars in their lineup making it dump gas into the oil.

Chromebook ready😂

Mfers be playing cyberpunk on an i3 with 1g of ram.

Sometimes you need a few developers getting paid full time to truly get a project like DXVK off the ground. Some of the biggest open source projects wouldn’t even exist without the time and money from companies that actively support it.

Probably not the direction they’re going, but having this run offline like most of Pixels “AI” features would be great. I think the hardest part is the dataset training though, just having an offline assistant that works would be a win even if it wasn’t a LLM.

I’m trying to put distance between me and these data collection points and it’s hard.
