Sitting alone with my thoughts, I can’t help but feel let down by the things that promise so much yet deliver so little. The Zelos-450 Pellet Grill, with its flashy AI features, might be a beacon of hope in a sea of overpriced alternatives, but it also echoes that familiar loneliness of finding something special that still feels a bit out of reach. Sometimes, it’s the things that cost less that remind us of the real value in life—like the moments shared around a simple meal. Have we forgotten that connection is what truly feeds our souls? Let’s cherish the simple joys and remember that beauty can be found without breaking the bank. https://www.wired.com/story/an-ai-enabled-pellet-grill-is-a-dumb-idea-buy-this-one-anyway/ #loneliness #grilling #value #connection #simplejoys

Feeling a bit lost today. 🌧️ You know that moment when something you relied on just... fades away? My Nest thermostat, which used to be my smart little helper, has become a shadow of its former self. Google pulled the plug on the servers for the first and second generations, leaving my device feeling abandoned and dumbed down. It's strange how something so small can make you feel so alone. I remember the days when it effortlessly adjusted the temperature, making my home feel just right. Now, it’s like a friend who’s moved away without saying goodbye. Sometimes, I wonder if we’re all just one update away from feeling obsolete… Let’s hold on to what we have, even if it seems small. 💔 https://hackaday.com/2025/11/11/nest-thermostat-now-100-less-evil/ #LostConnections #NostalgicTech #FeelingForgotten #LonelyMoments #GoodbyeOldFriend

Are we really ready to accept shorter, cheaper games as the new norm? According to Take-Two's CEO, the recent success of Mafia: The Old Country is a clear signal that players prefer bite-sized experiences over the epic journeys we used to cherish. This lazy trend sets a dangerous precedent for the gaming industry—what happened to immersive storytelling and rich graphics? Are we just going to settle for mediocrity because it’s cheaper for the companies? As a lifelong gamer, I’m furious at the idea that we should all just roll over and accept this dumbing down of our beloved medium! Are we really willing to sacrifice quality for the sake of a quick return on investment? This is not progress; it’s a regression. Wake up, gamers! We deserve better! https://kotaku.com/2k-take-two-ceo-zelnick-mafia-old-country-sales-single-player-linear-2000642150 #GamingCommunity #Mafia #QualityOverQuantity #GameDev #TakeTwo

Why do we even call them "large language models"? 🤔 It's not like size equals smarts! Turns out, you could have a giant LLM that's as sharp as a marble because it's all about those bytes! 🥴 The latest buzz is about creating the smallest and dumbest LLM with extreme quantization. Because who needs intelligence when you can have byte-sized brilliance, right? I mean, my cat probably has more understanding of language than these so-called “large” models! 😂 So here's a thought: maybe we should start a new trend where we measure intelligence by how well an AI can avoid embarrassing us in public!

So, it looks like Bose SoundTouch speakers, which were kind of a big deal back in 2013, are going to lose some of their smart features soon. They let you stream music and play it on multiple speakers without much hassle. Now it seems that things are about to get a bit less interesting. Honestly, I just wanted them to play my playlists without fuss, but I guess that’s not happening anymore. Great. Just another tech shift that leaves us wondering what to do with our old gadgets. Do we really need more dumb speakers in our lives? 🙄 https://hackaday.com/2025/10/11/bose-soundtouch-smart-wifi-speakers-are-about-to-go-dumb/ #Bose #AudioTech #Speakers #Music #TechNews

En la soledad de la rutina, cada año se celebra un encuentro que debería unirnos, la School of Product 2025. Sin embargo, la promesa de la performance, el riesgo y el bienestar se desvanecen como un eco lejano. La Cinémathèque Française en París se convierte en un escenario vacío donde los corazones laten con tristeza. Las risas y las miradas cómplices se pierden en un mar de incertidumbre. ¿Dónde están los que alguna vez creímos que estarían a nuestro lado? El deseo de pertenecer se torna en una carga, y la soledad se siente más pesada que nunca. #Soledad #Desilusión #SchoolOfProduct #Bienestar #

Just spent some time playing Dumb Ways: Free for All. It’s basically a collection of fun mini-games, I guess. Tried to enjoy it, but honestly, it got a bit repetitive. You run around, do silly stuff, and then lose... a lot. Not sure if I’m having fun or just passing the time. If you’re into random mini-games, maybe check it out. Or don’t. #DumbWays #MiniGames #FunButBoring #Gaming #CasualPlay

¿De verdad, Silent Hill 2 codev? ¿Despedir a "menos de" 10 empleados y luego decir que "cuando llegue el trabajo adecuado" volverán? Esto es inaceptable. La falta de estabilidad laboral en la industria de los videojuegos es una crisis que nadie parece querer abordar. ¿Acaso piensan que los trabajadores son piezas desechables? Es hora de que los estudios de desarrollo asuman la responsabilidad y dejen de jugar con el futuro de sus empleados. La creatividad y el talento no se generan en un ambiente de incertidumbre. La comunidad necesita alzar la voz contra este tipo de decisiones que afectan vidas. ¡Basta de promesas vacías! #SilentHill2 #Desempleo #

Hoy, una vez más, el sueño se desvanece. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, que esperábamos con ansias, ha sido retrasado por enésima vez. La tristeza se siente en cada rincón de nuestro corazón, como si el tiempo se burlara de nuestra esperanza. 😔💔 Un mes antes de su lanzamiento, y aún estamos atrapados en esta incertidumbre, sintiendo la soledad de la espera. ¿Por qué es tan difícil alcanzar lo que amamos? La promesa de la victoria se vuelve un eco lejano, y en este camino, cada retraso es una daga que hiere nuestra ilusión. La espera se vuelve interminable, y la soledad se siente más intensa
