you were just setup a different way; I haven't owned a TV in like 15 years, if I wanted to jump into a console it'd be just about as much effort as building a gaming PC for me. I would need to start reading TV reviews, re-arrange

you're never going to construct a lightweight pack with cylindrical (18650/21700, whatever) cells. a real light weight battery construction isn't going to have redundant casings and fuses; it'll be the bare minimum pouch

i've had both, and the reality is that they're both just steel -- a good grind will make any shit steel knife cut like a 700 dollar Japanese blade for a few days. (and yes the Japanese steel dulls too. No cheating physics.)

'detect AI' is such a stupid goalpost given the different caliber of output one individual may have from another when coding with an LLM. do these people detect all AI? Of course not, they detect crap.
