Many things are really just getting worse, though.
I'm in my 20s, I love new stuff, and am excited for new technologies...
But the stuff that existed for the last 5-10 years? Yeah, they're just getting objectively worse. From social media, to Google, to basically almost anything that private companies control.
Not everything is getting worse, but enough are that it may be difficult to discern at times.
Indeed. And the machine code is created as part of the physical CPU design.
It barely works because it makes a lot of money

...I've certainly had that issue on windows as well. I had to manually set the time. Windows sync at least didn't use to always work.
While true, how much troubleshooting does windows require? Because as I sometimes use windows, it's not that much less work to get it to do what you want it to do, or solve issues, than linux.
Especially since it feels like windows tries to fight you every step of the way.
A big part of 5G is to support a lot more devices at the same time, making congestion a smaller issue.
5G, at least the fully developed version, which idk if they have here, supports directional beams, beamforming. That reduces any congestion to basically 0.
Like, I don't know the specifications here, but 5G would work fine, or possibly be better, than wi-fi. Wi-fi is designed for lower scales, and doesn't handle congestion as well, meanwhile mobile networks are designed to support mass amounts of devices simultaneously. 5G was designed with a lot of these future considerations in mind.
Edit: further, 5G uses a much shorter wavelength, or higher frequency. It can support far more theoretical traffic than wi-fi, and it has lower range to 4G due to higher attenuation, making congestion an even lower concern.
Privacy is a political subject.
it can be parasocial, but it doesn't have to be. Neither does it have to be a coping mechanism. I still watch streams even if I get plenty of social interaction. I like streams specifically because I don't have to be social, and can just relax.
But yes, of course, it can be problematic, and it's important to be aware of that. Especially since there are some content creator that exploit that phenomenon. That's bad. But you can apply similar criticisms to video games, how they can exploit our psychology and make us addicted or want to spend money etc etc. Doesn't mean all games are bad, or gaming is bad, either.
It's like watching sports, except you also have someone cracking jokes and being effectively a stand-up comedian.
But also, you're assuming people always actively watch, which is not always the case. I tend to play a game on my main stream, while having a stream (or vod) open on another.
In addition, it's also a bit like hanging out with a friend and watching them play. It's basically sharing stuff and experiences with others, which is fun, even if you're not a direct participant.
...and also, as the other commenter mentioned, there are games which you don't really want to play, but are still interesting to watch.
Tbh there's not too much to get. A lot of it is covered in bullshit and buzzwords.
AI is a little similar, except there really is a useful and practical technology at the core of it.
