Comment ASUS is atrocious (Score 1) 23

"Neither Microsoft nor Asus would admit there's a problem or offer a timeline to fix it after repeated requests by The Verge. Asus said it needs more time to test."

Microsoft is Microsoft of course, whatever. ASUS used to be my first choice. Today they infamously have the worst support around, whether you're talking about tech support or warranty support. They are literally the last vendor you should consider when shopping for computer equipment, whether it's for gaming or not. This is the least surprising story ever posted to this site.

Comment I wish they'd fix automatic captioning (Score 1) 15

I've been watching the Polygon 98 channel lately, and in order to understand it, I depend on automatic closed captioning and translation. Google botches this spectacularly at every turn. Some of it is understandable, like when there's a lot of loud engine noise. But it's also just generally inexplicable. Engine noise is captioned [music] or [applause]. Actual music is not noted. If they could improve their captioning that would produce a lot more benefit than upscaling some videos and creating shit that doesn't exist in them, which will inevitably happen.

do you want to stomp on to rid yourself of this systemic injustice

Nobody's rights have to be stomped on for it.

Who do you want to censor?

Nobody who's not supposed to be censored now.

Who do you want to tax?

Those who profit most from systemic injustice.

Otherwise, we aren't talking about DEI, because that specifically calls for anti-white discrimination

False.

Dementia is obviously not a disqualifier given the ficus that previously sat behind the Resolute Desk.

True, and raping children is obviously not either given who sits there now. I guess anyone really can become president, if they have the backing of the worst people imaginable anyway.

But the irony here is the trump administration is just as woke as any supposedly woke liberal group out there, just woke in a right-wing way.

Uh, what? That's literally not a thing.

Woke means aware of systematic injustice and its effects and working to combat them. The right wing is the opposite of that.

It's wasn't racism it was just plain ordinary greed and might makes right.

Racism was used to excuse the actions. They're just savages, so it's OK! Bunch of idiots probably don't even understand property, right? Except a huge part of the way the whites "won" the west was to make treaties with native tribes so they wouldn't have to fight them, because if they had to fight all of them at once they would have lost. Then the whites broke literally every single one of those treaties.
