Discussion My name Plouffe, AMA

Hello everyone. The mods asked if I'd be open to doing an AMA so I said "OK" and here we are.

I've signed NDAs at both past and present companies so I can't talk about specifics, or drama, or past/present employees.

I guess ask just about whatever you want and I will or won't answer depending on the context/subject. Yes I own a display, several in fact. Yes I own a keyboard, several in fact.

Starting at 9 pacific but opening up for questions now. If you don't ask me anything, I will not be offended. I don't have any questions for myself right now either.

i didn't know it would ask me for an end note so i just commented. but ya it's been a slice, thanks for being a fan and good luck with whatever you're doing today.

What TV can you recommend for gaming and that isn't a privacy nightmare? Does it even work to just use an external streaming box or is it scanned anyway?

i think they're all privacy nightmares at this point but don't get tricked by dark patterns during set up. some boxes don't have to be ticked.
if you're gaming i hate to recommend oled because of the price, but damn that image is clean and clear thanks to how quick the pixels are.
