I’m not having another kid but if I did I would do my exact setup still. Audio to wake me up and video to see if a response is needed or if they need to cry it out.

On iPhone, maybe Android too, you click the power button 5 times and you have enter the pin.

Interesting, I’ll look into Gemini.

Do you use this? I’ve been thinking that there has to an underground “internet” that mimics the old web. I was thinking that it would be BBS or something. I haven’t gone down any rabbit hole yet because lemmy has been scratching the itch alright.

I have premium so maybe that’s a reason. Also, if I watch a video I know YouTube will latch unto them I remove it from my watch history and heavily use not interested option.

I too ignore shorts but I disagree with YouTube’s recommendations. It has gotten significantly better from even 2 years ago. I used to only watch my subscriptions, what I specifically sought out, or links from others. What YouTube recommended me was honestly confusing considering the amount of data they have on me and my interests. Now it’ll actually recommend general content I would watch. But also small YouTubers from the types of content I consistently watch. It’s pretty great.

I feel like it’s a Mac.

You can get a killer PC for 1500 and be decked out.

As for perspective OP, some further technical context could help. But either way, I can say that I agonized over getting a steam deck. But I got it because of travel and adore it. But that’s because it’s a crazy deal at $400. I think that $3000 will weigh on you if it’s not a priced out that it satisfies that bang for the buck budget mindset. I also don’t think it should be cheap but a good value will ease that part of the brain.
