  Thank you for making Cunningham’s Law a reality.

  I wonder if you would have made that post without it.

  I didn’t want to watch it either so here is a LLM making some stuff up:

  In the “Valve Goes Hard: Steam Deck OLED Review & Benchmarks vs. ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, Deck LCD” YouTube video, the presenter evaluates the Steam Deck OLED, comparing it to the ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme in terms of hardware improvements and performance. Valve made significant alterations to the OLED model, enhancing screen quality, system latency, thermals, acoustics, and gaming performance. The review covers the methodology of comparing the two devices and their respective displays, focusing on latency and frame rate consistency in tests like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077. The OLED model exhibits a slight frame rate advantage and superior frame time consistency, resulting in an enhanced gaming experience. The ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme performs better in graphics benchmarks, but its higher latency negatively impacts the player experience. Both devices have similar input latency, but the OLED model features an overall system latency reduction, longer battery life, and quieter operation. Pricing is also discussed, with the Steam Deck OLED costing $550 and the ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme priced at $600. The video concludes by addressing cons for both devices and introducing the upcoming review of the Lenovo Legion Go handheld gaming device.

  Glassblowing was another big one. Plus framing for stone construction.

  Colonialism seems to born out of the need for more wood since it underpinned all energy, trade, and construction. We can see now how fossil fuels are working out for us instead.

  There are some good examples of bay side cities being abandoned due to siltation of their bays, some kilometres worth of silt. Massive centres of trade and then nothing due to erosion because of a lack of trees.

  If John/Primitive Tech can focus on efficient energy usage then all the better.

  You can but sometimes it’s nice to not see it.

  You just message it with the community “!community@blah.blah”, I believe.

  He also demonstrates how industry was responsible for significant deforestation around their centres. It has also been linked to collapse of civilisations.

  A good book to see how critical wood was to people: aforestjourney.com
