Nice, I was looking for something like this a few years ago on another project, at the time I settled for DBeaver, but this looks like it might be better fit for the job.

You can, but I like using an app, because for example I can use pip with grayjay (watch video while doing something else), I'm not sure if that is possible with firefox + ublock

That's interesting, my sleep paralysis episodes were always a VR horror movie experience

Your second point of trading loot and items got me thinking about my Steam CS:GO skins. Why should I trust a centralized entity like Steam who could at any moment decide to delete all my skins or remove my account for whatever reason with my skins, vs storing those skins in a wallet on a public blockchain for example to keep it's value and always allow trading? Ofc there will always be a "centralized" smart contract but at least they can't make changes to it if the smart contract code is audited ,

Sleep paralysis is the worst, you feel the presence of demons around you.

I would like to try #2 but for some reason my 5900x doesn't have graphics so I literally need to buy a whole other GPU for this

The physical keyboard is just a tool. There are alternatives like speech-to-text software, virtual keyboards with swipe features, or stenotype.

The goal should be to use whatever is most effective and efficient for yourself, so if Gen Zrs are more used to touch screen, maybe they should invent a touch screen interface that you can use with the computer, maybe even incorporating the mouse somehow.

For me personally the touch interfaces right now are fucked up - I always tap the wrong letters on my phone, the auto-correct and suggestions used to compensate for this often times make it even worse, and swipe doesn't come up with the words I want, I often have to swipe multiple times. I can't imagine operating a computer like this, but maybe for Gen Zrs it's no problem.

Maybe in the future you just need to think the word and it appears on the screen, and typing would be obsolete.

Of course their biggest scandal was rushing content and not being diligent with their benchmarks. I honestly never had the impression that they were really the professionals or experts they present themselves to be.

That being said, I think if you view their videos more as entertainment and an entry level content into the IT world for people who otherwise wouldn't be interested, their content is acceptable.

I wouldn't watch their videos expecting to learn anything or trusting their expertise/benchmarks, but just for the vibes. Luckily we have real experts like tech jesus to keep them in check. I also think people who actually seek to learn something will eventually figure out LTT ain't it.
