1. Why would they be buying a new card to play how they’re already playing?
2. What does the long term trend line look like?

You can confidently say that this is fine for most consumers today. There really isn’t a great argument that this will serve most consumers well for the next 3 to 5 years.

It’s ok if well informed consumers are fine with a compromise for their use case.

Misrepresenting the product category, and misleading less informed consumers to believe that it’s not a second rate product in the current generation is deeply anti-consumer.

I don’t know of a specific theme in the neubrutalism/neobrutalism style (names that are generally used to describe this style or aesthetic), but it shouldn’t be too hard to make.

For anyone unfamiliar it’s generally defined by flat, blocky layouts, with thick borders, single color drop shadows and a few bold high contrast colors (think CGA and EGA monitors if you’re that old). It often features “unpolished” elements like flat simple shapes. Bold fonts and monospace fonts are pretty common.

There are a few resources out there if anyone wants to play around with this style.

It’s a terrible replacement for Assistant. It’s just the wrong tool for the job. Assistant was listening for commands and trying to turn those into actions. Gemini takes a second, misses the first half of the command, tries to figure out if I’m conversing or giving an instruction, and it’s hit or miss if it gets that right.

If I ask “what’s the weather today?” I have no idea if I’ll get a forecast, the definition of the word weather, or the song “what’s the weather like today” by the Kiboomers (which sounds like a cool indie band but in fact makes childrens early education songs).

Does anyone know an open source alternative for Android? Preferably something that works with home assistant.
