      When Microsoft announced the recall feature, I was sceptical as well, but Apple later approached the same area of the ML world. So I don't know what to think of this change at the moment, AI is a fascinating and fantastic tool to help anyone. But we need to think about the impact it can have on us now and how that data is sourced. It's better to be sceptical of every company (to a healthy extent, and not take everything from a PowerPoint but experience. Will will just have to see what happens to these new AI based OS's I would be Happy to hear how your experience has been since swapping to mac os, and if you have every had any problems?

    • @justahugenerd1278
      @justahugenerd1278 3 месяца назад

      @ItsMacBla I guess it's also worth mentioning that "AI" has already long existed... it's generative AI that's the real buzzword and I think it's way overhyped. AI proper though is very useful and can be used for good for sure. As for the swap, I had used Macs for almost 8 years before I swapped to windows so it's been pretty familiar and with minimal issues. The real issue tbh is gaming, but I still have a dedicated PC desktop for that

    I apologise that I didn't specify the gear in the video, it was supposed to be a quick edit. For the comments reporting back. I hope this helps, this is all the information. I will be updating as more questions are asked: DAC : scarlet 1i1 doesn't have native Linux support, based on what I found. I ended up plugin directly in to the steam deck, and getting the errors in the video. Screen: 1440p resolution Dell 60Hz Mouse: I think its the "G402 HYPERION FURY", this was plugged in to the dock made for MacBooks. The error only happened in game's. OS: Steam OS "Linux" USB HUB: Dodocool (Bad Name) I was given this to use I don't like it ,and I suspect its where the errors are coming from.

    I have the Steam Deck official Dock and don't have any of these problems. Logitech Mice and Keyboard connected via USB and a 1TB hard drive, Ethernet and a 4k 60hz Smart TV. Some games run great nativ and any other games that need more gpu/cpu performance I stream with steam link or moonlight from my PC to the living room. The audio problems could be fixed if you look up if there are any Linux laibery for your audio DAC.

      I have been planning on getting the steam deck official dock at some point this year, but I don't have the spare money for getting at the current point of time. Both the audio and mouse problems only happen when playing games (Tested: Cyberpunk 2077, Counter Strike 2, Half Life and Quake), for every other moment they worked fine. and the DAC (Scarlett) has no linux drivers. Thanks for the support : )

      There are better ways of saying that. no it is more likely to be a support problem or an error with the linux version I was running at the time.
