A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

He's gotten just a little too edgy/ranty for me. Like, I appreciate the consumers' rights stuff that he does, and I even agree with most of his talking points, but it was starting to feel like all he did was rant. I got enough stuff bringing me down in life these days that I just stopped feeling his stuff.
I feel like thats just a consequence of the industry being so shitty and messed up these days lol. Not much positive things to say haha
I suppose but I still like watching Hardware Unboxed and the occasional Jayz.
His rants exist because no one can afford the hardware anymore and he's doing excellent journalism in explaining why we can't (in a much more exacting and capable of bringing lawsuits way). Some of the best journalism I've seen in years, flat out.
I'll just quote myself from above:
I feel like Jayz can be ranty too, but he's got a little better attitude about things. And Hardware Unboxed reports on stuff as well, but doesn't feel as ranty to me. Again, just for me personally, his vibe brings me down too much and I got a lot going on, y'know? I can only control what I can control, and all that.
I can appreciate that. It's too easy to get burnt out on shitty news. Sometimes we just want to escape. I admit, sometimes I will let a new episode for several days until I feel I can handle it. But I eventually force myself to watch awful news like I'm in A Clockwork Orange
