Sure, but contrarian investment and bets are built into the system. Everyone wants to think they’re the genius.

I’ve played with it for a little bit, but at this point, I’m so far removed from print design, I gave up after kicking the tires. When my resume ceased to be able to get anywhere as a PDF’d INDD, I tucked tail and went back to Word.

While I grant these things are true, there’s no way in hell multiple people aren’t trying this bet.

No, no … it’s Actually Indians.

Oh, you just know someone’s shorting this. It just doesn’t seem to get reported on.

I’m typing this on a Surface, so I’m not inherently anti-MS, but they’ve very clearly given up on the consumer side, which is an industrywide trend.

AI is sort of like having a plug. If you know you want it, it’s easy enough to find.

I have a rule that I will double RAM with each generation. I had 8GB of DDR2, then 16GB of DDR3. You can guess where I went with DDR4.

Looks like I’m not getting 64GB this year.

I’m sorry. Are you a mod here? You’re just bitching that you didn’t get exactly what you wanted served on a platter.

I’m an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 – not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It’s the vi of image editors.

Just accepting how fucked things are does not advance change. Others being concerned about it benefits you, so I’m not sure what you’re complaining about.

Are you actually claiming that I should be providing a video summary? Like, that’s in my wheelhouse, but I’m not on the clock, so apologies that you had to click the link.

Not really sure where you’re coming from. If you don’t want to watch a video … like, maybe, just don’t? I was attempting to provide solutions. And “a guy reads from a script” is literally how videos are made, so that’s a weird flex.

Steve has really come into his own as EIC in the past two years, and the channel (which I used to ignore) is much better for it. Come for the stats, stay for the biting political commentary.

There’s a reason I’m still rocking CS6. Fuck you for wanting me to pay monthly.

You can always click on the transcript on YouTube if you’d prefer to read. If you then need it summarized, that’s one of the things LLMs are actually (mostly) useful for.
