But Jensen has shovels to sell!

Ai generated trailer, the face around ~2:10 is pretty bad.

AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development and live service of the game, AI-based tools may be utilized to support in game visual content creation, marketing materials, live chat translation features, and partial in-game dialogue and script localization. In all such cases and regardless of the workflow, the final product is a reflection of our own development team's creativity and artistic expression.

It was more so a comment that they could have used a connector for the ram to make it user serviceable, instead of soldered on, and I combined it with a sentence that the storage should be user serviceable and upgradable instead of making my earlier comment overly explicit/wordy. The quote I took from ifixit right above even says that the mobile chip is why it was limited to 8 GB of RAM.

Some changes would have to the layout be made to accommodate fitting a physical stick instead of just the soldered modules, but there's CAD software that plots traces, so that really shouldn't be an issue.

All it takes is putting a SODIMM socket into the device instead of soldering in the RAM, making it possible to salvage the device if the RAM begins to fail. It's a basic laptop, meant for browsing/writing documents, I can't really see anyone swapping in 16 gb of ram to a device like this, and seeing any performance uplift.

The laptop is built on an A18 Pro, a mobile chip first seen in the iPhone 16 Pro, which limits the machine to 8 GB of RAM. Storage comes in 256 or 512 GB, and whichever one you buy is the one you keep.

They could have easily made the RAM and Storage user serviceable/upgradeable, and from what I can find, they don't provide a way for the enduser to expand storage with a secondary SSD/HDD either, so you're either forced to carry around an external hard drive for a product that is meant to be portable, or use cloud storage where you might not always have reliable access to the internet/data caps.

Anecdotal, but the only component that has ever failed on me is a hard drive, if that happened to me on the new mac book, it would be e-waste.

I actually thought your instance was dead for a while. Kind of funny finding out it's still around on a post about another instance being offline.

If Steam is running in the background, it could be taking your controller input and remapping it to a keyboard and mouse input. You can quickly check by fully exiting Steam and seeing if your controller is detected correctly. If it is, you can try adding pcsx2 as a non-steam game like the other comment suggested (but then you would need to do this for every other non-steam game using a controller), or you could disable Steam Input for "Non-game controller layouts".

With your controller connected, open steam in the upper left, and open to Settings > Controller > Desktop Layout > Edit. From there, disable Steam Input, and see if PCSX2 starts detecting your controller as a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard.

Funny that an anti-mask group asked him to speak considering that him and Teller filmed this. https://youtu.be/RfdZTZQvuCo

It's an issue with VA panels starting cold. You probably notice that it's more common when the temperature in the room is cold.

If your monitor has a startup graphic when powered on, or its settings menu appears at the bottom of your screen/overlap with the affected area, you'll know the issue is with the panel and not your gpu/cables if the artifacts appear over top of the menu.

My MSI Optix G24C has the same issues (uses a VA panel manufactured by Samsung), and can take a couple min to warm up if the room is cold and hasn't been used in a while. The issue typically goes away in the summer/resolves itself faster.

Just count the number of toes to make sure it's real. Also, it's well known that Elon has two left feet.

They honestly feel a bit like a satirical version of North Korea by isolating themselves with certain policies, and making crazy threats to anyone they can.
