He had a previous video where he asserted a man letting his wife drive is "sus" of being feminine or something.

I missed out on being a grifter

This randomly popped up on youtube in incognito, well not this video specifically but Asmongold reacting to it. 😂 So it's double the dose. Going on yt with a fresh algorithm is an experience, especially if you change regions.

YouTube thinks I am a Russian in Finland, is rather funny

Idk, what it thinks I am. Probably a car mechanic in the US...

I get that all the time, minus the region change. Just delete YT cookies. Every time I close/open my desktop browser, YT's home page is black/no thumbnails and tells me to search/watch so they can figure out what I like. >.>

Based on my tablets "cookies remain" action, while YT's "personalized" algorithm has always been poo, the last 4-6 months it's been even more poo - like they changed how it works recently perhaps (not surprising ofc).

Being a grifter can make so much easy money, however the negative side of it is that you have bury all of your morals to do it. I just can't.

Valve's Steam Machine gets competition in the "Stim Machi...

French hardware sellers LDLC have released a PC Box they originally dubbed the "Stim Machine", as an alternative to Valve's Steam Machine.

Seriously, the Stim Machine. There's no way they've called it that, I thought as I dug up the listing for it on LDLC's site only to be a bit confused that it seemed to be called LDLC PC Box (or PC Box Kit) there. French site Journal Du Geek quickly filled in the gaps for me. They report that LDLC quietly pulled the Stim Machine moniker a couple of days after releasing the box, scrubbing references to that name from the listing as they re-christened the device, probably because they determined they'd been a bit too cheeky.

If you're wondering how LDLC's Box stacks up to Valve's new games cube, the answer is that it seems something of a scruffier big brother that might not be as ideal a bit of kit to fit seamlessly into your living room, but does have more powerful innards. The PC Box is bigger, while it packs a Ryzen 5 8400F processor and Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card. That's compared to the Steam Machine's Zen 4 and RDNA 3. The 9060's the major differentiator, and should offer you more frames per second than you can shake a stick at. The PC Box also requires you to set up SteamOS on it yourself, unlike Valve's Machine.

Not purchasing either at the moment, but they look somewhat appealing. Though, a fully custom PC would provide a better value/cost ratio, getting the parts might be challenging.
