Ai generated trailer, the face around ~2:10 is pretty bad.

AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development and live service of the game, AI-based tools may be utilized to support in game visual content creation, marketing materials, live chat translation features, and partial in-game dialogue and script localization. In all such cases and regardless of the workflow, the final product is a reflection of our own development team's creativity and artistic expression.

It was more so a comment that they could have used a connector for the ram to make it user serviceable, instead of soldered on, and I combined it with a sentence that the storage should be user serviceable and upgradable instead of making my earlier comment overly explicit/wordy. The quote I took from ifixit right above even says that the mobile chip is why it was limited to 8 GB of RAM.

Some changes would have to the layout be made to accommodate fitting a physical stick instead of just the soldered modules, but there's CAD software that plots traces, so that really shouldn't be an issue.

All it takes is putting a SODIMM socket into the device instead of soldering in the RAM, making it possible to salvage the device if the RAM begins to fail. It's a basic laptop, meant for browsing/writing documents, I can't really see anyone swapping in 16 gb of ram to a device like this, and seeing any performance uplift.

The laptop is built on an A18 Pro, a mobile chip first seen in the iPhone 16 Pro, which limits the machine to 8 GB of RAM. Storage comes in 256 or 512 GB, and whichever one you buy is the one you keep.

They could have easily made the RAM and Storage user serviceable/upgradeable, and from what I can find, they don't provide a way for the enduser to expand storage with a secondary SSD/HDD either, so you're either forced to carry around an external hard drive for a product that is meant to be portable, or use cloud storage where you might not always have reliable access to the internet/data caps.

Anecdotal, but the only component that has ever failed on me is a hard drive, if that happened to me on the new mac book, it would be e-waste.

I actually thought your instance was dead for a while. Kind of funny finding out it's still around on a post about another instance being offline.

Just count the number of toes to make sure it's real. Also, it's well known that Elon has two left feet.

They honestly feel a bit like a satirical version of North Korea by isolating themselves with certain policies, and making crazy threats to anyone they can.

I wouldn't be surprised if they locked online behind a ps+ subscription.

I think it might just be your NSFW filter. Not sure if it was always marked as an NSFW community but it is currently.

NSFW Off - doesn't appear in the community list

NSFW On - shows as the top community when searching for Ukraine.

Have you checked that you haven't blocked the person posting?

Also, those posts in the signed out view all have the English tag set, you may need to go into your settings and add English to your selected languages. Keep Undetermined selected as a fallback for when people do not set a language for their posts/comments.

Bots advertising crypto scam. If you look at the first comments they're essentially all the same nonsense and just adding in random buzz words associated with crypto/ai.
