Its mainly a media pc for myself, games tv movies etc. I'm not really trying to look at the full screen if I'm using it for "pc" related tasks. And the plastic wrap is well, I figured why take it off. The dust looks worse to me, plus when I sell the tv for a newer model it will be that much newer heh. I know, I know...

Your TV could fall off the cabinet onto a giant sheet of sandpaper, scratching the **** out of it and it would still look better than with that plastic wrapping on there. Take it the **** off. Why do people not realise that the plastic wrap if for protecting the unit during transport, not to make it look horrible once you've set it up.

Chill out. What does it matter what someone else does with their personal belongings? If they want to leave the plastic on their TV, more power to them.

lol, I agree but I'll provide a more sensible reason why to get rid of that plastic - after a while it leaves residue behind when you take it off, sometimes it can etch into the plastic too. A somewhat extreme example - I bought a 6 year old "new" powermac that was still sealed, and was thus in a foam bag that whole time. Something in the foam basically etched the hell out of the sides of the case with a bunch of little spots. Weird, I know.

Just saying :)

I think I'd get nauseous sitting that close to a ~50" screen. Worst part is it's still 1920x1080!

Honestly the 1920x1080 isn't bad on a tv. Anything smaller and your just wanting the days of the CRT back. It may be 47in, but its not like im trying to take in the whole screen at one time. I might play MediaPC and watch a tv episode and check back at my e-mail in the background without moving a muscle. And if I want to watch a blu-ray I just slide back to the couch behind me and watch and enjoy with 7.1. Its honestly not that bad and way cheaper then buying some 30in pc monitor.

Good point, but i'd be willing to bet it was stuck in the heat vs a air conditioned house. My room gets dusty quite easily and it annoys me more to have the dust. Honestly thoe. I usually end up taking it off due to peer pressure lol. Or one of my friends comes by and says what the heck and rips it off when im not looking.

I usually sell off my equipment every year, so I don't think ill worry about 6 year stretch marks. I promise ill take it off after 1 year. ;)

lmao at the bit about a friend ripping it off.

I meant that 1920x1080 is a very low resolution on a 50" screen to begin with (I know, higher res screens at that size cost an arm and a leg, but still). That picture above just about made me spaz out - a what.. 60" LCD.. 1920x1080.. MAXIMIZED IE WINDOW.

DOUBLE FACE PALM. ONE IS NOT ENOUGH.

Of course this is not mine, but thought I'd stick it here. I think the user lost his mind with this setup!

Yea, saw that a few days ago somewhere... I very much doubt that it's real...

Not only is the amount of guns unbelievable, but the P90 on the left looks like it's got a filled magazine in it, the fourth gun from the desk also seem to be loaded as well as the rightmost one (not with a lot of bullets but still one hanging out of it), also the two rightmost guns, I doubt you are allowed to have those weapons standing in your home even with the crazy gun laws of the US :p

This is a old picture as I've got some new gadgets since then. But before I update my picture I really need another desk and do some new wire management.

There's a couple of printers in this picture (laser & wireless all-in-one), Macbook, HD TV (with DV box and DVD), couple of 24" monitors, a Kindle, 5.1 surround headset, a regular ol' 5.1 surround sound system, iPad, Nikon P100, etc...remove tag), Nikon P100 (remove tag)

Looks like someone is getting for a Zombie apocalypse... or maybe he was watching too much of Highschool of the Dead :p .

Not to mention, the lighting on the P-90, Thumper, and SPAS-12 looks... off. And if you look closely, it seems the M-16's mag looks funky when interacting with the SPAS-12's stock... Thumper too.

He is also running what looks like a very powerful setup... On Windows XP. Clearly a fake :shifty:

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
