ANYWAY... I tweaked it a little bit, found a new wallpaper, and this should be better for your tastes sir...

Now THAT looks fantastic. I stand by what I said before, I really didn't like your previous one, but the simple wallpaper fix changed everything. Great work :)

what are you talkin about with "crappy low-res carbon-fiber wall"? it's a 1080p native wallpaper and looks magnificent in full size. Color coordination? I mixed black and different shades of gray, how is that not coordinated? There aren't even really any colors except for my music cover art on purpose.. And sorry, they may be poorly chosen to you, but I prefer the token icons dark with this setup. I have the lights ones too and tried them out that way, but I prefer the dark ones because it makes each icon just look like it's indented into the taskbar.

Overdone? It's pretty minimilistic imo..

and you're complaining about profanity... It's supposed to be funny and overdramatic sarcasm... Sorry, but I don't have kids or anyone else that's going to be looking at my screen.

And no, the wallpaper is not tiled. It has a distinct glow that gets darker around the upper right region. It's very professionally done if I could show you.. Wait.. I can.. Just uploaded it..

I think your wallpaper is still ugly, but i do like dark desktops, try one of these to see how it fits

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
