Should most electronics come with no servicability at all, because most customers are not gorillas breaking products for no good reason?

The road to enshittification is paved with people telling you to just use the popular thing everyone else, calling removable media “e-waste”, or even suggesting you to just buy a pair of Raycons if you don’t want to pay for electrostatic headphones and an audiophile external DAC.

That will come after they suddenly announce they’re making Chromium closed source only, with the help of genAI.

Return of socketed mobile CPUs when?

Older ThinkPads are unbeatable, especially those that still have the CPU sockets in them, and can be upgraded. I put an i7-4702MQ into my L440, now it performs really well with Manjaro, at the cost of sometimes draining the CPU in 30-60 minutes under very high loads (battery might need some rebuilding).

Or maybe it will come with some subscription model to get you more power, from the cloud of course.

Maybe he would be onboard if it was called “age verification, to make sure you’re not exposed to trans people”…

Thank you for letting me to know about it!

Linux: “I am the non-janky OS now!”

Will we see translucent Macbooks once again? Currently I’m pondering whether to replace the shell of my Dualsense controller with a translucent one (would look sick alongside with the LEDs), as translucent electronics look cool, except the techbro class wants us to have “sleek, ultrathin models made with premium materials” only.

So their plan to cheat the election is sending the troops to die in Iran, so they can’t even coup that fucking orange pedophile…

Wouldn’t be that bad, but it’s a multiple decades old engine. In fact, it’s first version even had software rendering for PCs without 3D accelerators.

Unreal - the engine - has fallen from grace. Not just due to all the slop produced with it, but because it’s horribly overengineered.

Nowadays it’s rate to come by with an engine that is purpose built. Now each and every engine must account for most popular game genres at the moment, that could be done with them.

Okay, what these people need is not death sentence, but a life sentence in an asylum.

IDK, but I’d rather be the beta tester for some open source project, or even contribute code to it (I fixed a language server this way), than to pay premium for a software, which I won’t “own”, has a bunch of microtransactions, and becomes lower and lower in quality.

Well, if you’re okay using 3+ years old versions of various software…

This is what you get when you think the reason your party won in 2012 is because memes pointing out, that Obama was a good Christian and Romney had several divorces…

They still think the same strategy that supposedly helped Obama to beat Mitt Romney (“they go low, we go high”) will also beat Trump.

You will own nothing and you will be happy!
