Make sure you get one of the professional ones. In fsct when i got the first one, i went to a beauty supply store that caters to hairstylists and barbers, as opposed to going to Walmart. Not sure if it is/was bullshit, but I had heard that Walmart gets lower quality units (not unlike the claims that the TVs sold on Black Friday are poorer quality compared to regular ones). Both of mine were made in US.

Just a heads up, you can buy new blades for fairly cheap. On my old unit I replaced the blades maybe 10 years into owning it. I think because of how the blades are shaped, sharpening them might not really be possible. But I could be wrong.

training data.

Wouldn't that data be stored in some kind of database?

Well that's exactly what I was thinking when these companies were making these claims... like HOW could they possibly handle this locally on a CPU or GPU when there must be a massive database that (I assume) is constantly being updated? Didn't make sense.

EDIT: this entire website can go fuck off. You ask a simple question about some reasonably new tech, and you get downvoted for having the audacity to learn some new stuff. People on here are downright pathetic.

Wahl hair trimmer. No nonsense hair trimmer. Made in the US. Corded so don't have to worry about batteries failing. Been using it every couple of weeks for probably close to 15 years and only recently replaced it with another Wahl trimmer. Got my money's worth out of the first one many times over and would highly recommend it. I expect the new one to last a similar amount of time.

blame it on the consumer

Yeah. Blame it on the consumers indeed. Are you a adult or not? Put the tendies down and put your big boy pants on and realize that you need to take responsibility for at least some of your actions.

Same goes for all those dopes that pre-order every game that gets released and then we all wonder why the industry releases so many unfinished games that need patches and updates. That's because consumers are rewarding these game developers for releasing shitty software.

I don't understand this. Hasn't Intel or Nvidia (or someone else) been making claims about their next CPUs having AI functionality built-in?

Comes with YT Premium, so not sure why I'd use anything else. Can't say I love the app though. Seems to get worse with each update.

The most pathetic thing is that there are enough lonely dudes out there that some would actually consider this service.

So corporations were thinking why should women be the only ones who can extort a bunch of money from lonely dudes... why not us too?

Only one way to find out, I guess. But still, a lot of this stuff comes from the high end that eventually trickles down, and I've never heard any discoveries that claim to have solved the problem. You'd think that since the military would be all over this tech, their limitless budgets would have stated they have sickness-free headsets. But in all these years, nothing.

It isn't a problem with screen technology or processing technology or anything like that. We aren't going to "tech" our way out of this.
It is a biological problem and as such, I think the appeal of VR will always be rather niche.

Even the best selling VR headset that I found online was the Quest 2 and it "only" sold like 15M units (honestly way more than I ever expected) with everything else being considerably lower volume. Compare that to the number of Nintendo Switches sold (130M) and you start to see how small the VR market is. I am very curious to see how the Sony VR2 will end up selling. I would love to get a pair, but I think all these headsets will be short lived.

I think you give them too much credit.

... but, but, but all the zoomers in here like to act like they are savvy when it comes to scams and they always seem to think they know better than everyone else.
