How often do you use ChatGPT? An infinite AI learning machine deliberately designed to replace human cognition while our services to humanity gradually phase into the process of becoming eradicated from the matrix. Dare I also say an unfathomably powerful, AI tool with the capabilities of giving us content creation, writing assistance, answering questions, brainstorming, programming help, language translation, etc. Does all of this sound immensely attractive? Yes. But the bad news is that it’s predominantly here to place you under servitude the minute you subconsciously exchange critical thinking skills for AI dependency.

At this point you might ask, ‘how am I under servitude with ChatGPT? I’m fully cognizant of when to turn my critical thinking skills on. I don’t need AI for everything.’ A multitude of people said something similar to this with social media when they tried to refrain themselves from the addictiveness of it all. With relentless companies like Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, there is no easy off button. So with ChatGPT it becomes an addiction once you possess its unlimited knowledge with unfathomable capabilities all designed to serve you at your fingertips. In reality, you’re serving AI because predominantly it’s designed to replace humans in the job market world, and all they need is for you to help them build a database on you to see what your interests are. ChatGPT is just the surface scratcher.

How many of your loved ones have decided to surrender critical thinking skills in exchange for a learning machine that’s indefatigable? What happens when we’re heavily dependent on AI to constantly think for us? What happens when we tap out of our own cognitive function and seek AI for things like financial advice, cooking advice, relationships, fitness, and other things of that nature. Cognitive impairment, that’s what happens. There’s nothing wrong with using ChatGPT sometimes. But don’t use it more than 50% of the time because then that tells me that you’re no longer capable of critical thinking.]]> [Image: HURiDzK.jpeg]

In general, if you're a Windows user and you're trying to watch a 4k video, then you should have options to watch a video higher than a 1080p resolution at your disposal, on any of the recommended Windows web browsers.

But if you're a Mac user, then you can forget about it because unless you have some type of converter or if you use a different web browser, you won't be picking up anything higher than 1080p on a safari. This link has options that may help you watch videos that'll tolerate 4k quality on Safari:

https://hazeover.com/4ktube.html

Generally not everyone can afford to watch or stream videos on Youtube that are of an advanced HD quality other than 720p or 1080p, and that's usually because their monitor is either trash, or their internet speeds aren't exactly the best out there. If you can afford it, then it's usually a good idea to run internet speeds up to 5.0GHZ and at least 5MPS to be able to successfully record, stream, or watch HD videos higher than 720p.

Anything less than that and you can forget about streaming, recording, or watching HD videos. But doesn't it annoy the living shit out of you that you may not be able to watch your favorite Youtube videos in possibly 1080p+ because of your internet speeds, monitor, Wifi, etc? Even if you're recording your gameplay on your PS5/xbox one, you could still suffer lag issues from poor internet speeds.

The higher your internet speeds are, the greater the chances are of you being able to watch HD videos, if you have the tools at your disposal. Spectrum usually has a 200MPS option, which is great for 4k/8k video streaming. If you're looking for a damn good, HD camera, and you can afford to climb a really high financial ladder, than check these guys out:

https://top10cameras.net/8k/

But what happens when you try to climb the ladder that's too high for you to climb? Well here's what happens:
  • Lag issues
  • Buffering
  • Frozen screen
  • Glitchy screen
  • Video Quality decreased

Damn that sucks! The level of disgusting, split into five, video resolution killers! ??

Not to say that I'm the one who's affected by this, but to see if any of you guys are having any problems where you'll try to watch, record, or stream an HD video, only to suffer some of the problems listed above. Or better yet, even if you're one of those people who'll try and convert videos to 2k/4k, only to find out that your internet may be the problem; you've wasted your money buying a converter in the first place.

As for gamers, you know you want that sweet, 60FPS when streaming and recording! ??

Wouldn't you like to have this option, smirk ?

Resolution list

  • FULL UHD 8k: 7680 x 4320
  • ULTRA HD 4k: 3840 x 2160
  • QUAD HD 2k: 2560 x 1440
  • FULL HD 1080p: 1920 x 1080
  • Standard HD 720p: 1280 x 720
  • Standard Definition (SD) 480p: 720 x 480
  • Borderline 360p: 640 x 360
  • Unacceptable 240p: 426 x 240
  • TRASH 144p: 256 x 144

Interesting fact: the higher the resolution is, the clearer and brighter the screen is, which means that watching videos in 4k/8k could potentially hurt your eyes.

So yeah, let me know what quality you're running on your videos for YouTube, streaming, recording, gaming, or even your smartphones.]]> There's nothing more disgusting than trying to watch an HD video on Youtube, only to be converted to a lower quality because your monitor can't even handle the capabilities!

Currently Owned Items:
  • Audio: Harman/Kardon CN-04N567-48220 (literally a couple speakers I found downstairs, works great once I've cleaned the cobwebs off) - can be found on eBay in the $20 range
  • Monitor: Acer S220HQL Monitor (1920x1080 60Hz) - found around $100

I guess I'm asking for advice. This is me cost-scraping as much as I want to (I was originally looking up near the $1,800 range) but I want to know if there's any ways I can push the price down further, whether it be a cheaper way of getting the Win10 OS or perhaps a different config that'd enable me to go cheaper. This'll be my first desktop and I'm a bit nervous about it, to be honest, but at worst this'll end up being a serviceable mini-PC with upgrade ability, and at best this is a stepping stone to a better PC. Thoughts and advice welcome -- should this be built (hopefully I'll have enough saved up by the end of the year to outright buy this or get family to fill in the gaps to have it as a birthday present), I may or may not put it in a separate thread. If anything, point me to a site where I could get advice if none is available. Tongue

Hopefully this'll bring me back up towards the top of the folding food-chain soon enough! Might be time for me to make a return... Wink]]> Planned Budget Build, which has links to all of the products listed below
