Mate I’m no fan of Apple but half the stuff you said is completely subjective or based off 2012 era memes. How do you define “overpriced” or “underperforming”? In terms of price, the hardware in their machines is usually pretty good, build quality has always been great. You’ll have to elaborate on “underperforming” as I’m not really sure what you’re saying with this.
Do something about it then. Something something 9-5.
You’re literally doing the same thing they are.
You don’t always need to replace the part with something the manufacturer offers as a replacement. Something like a screen board might be hard/ impossible to find an alternative for, but things like buttons or sensors inside of mice are rarely something made specifically by the mouse manufacturer. They can almost always be replaced by an equivalent generic part. Hell, my 3D printer motherboard took a shit on me a couple years ago, and I bought an aftermarket board and installed 3rd party firmware on it to get it up and running again.
Like you said it’d be great if it were just easy for everyone to do these things, but as devices get more advanced they’re gonna require more advanced knowledge to work on, and not everyone has the time, interest, or resources to learn how to diagnose and repair stuff.

They have a specific aesthetic in mind it seems.
Just saw he got stabbed.
Oh no.
Anyways
“being a pedophile” is somehow putting it lightly. He was raping actual toddlers infants.
Just found out that people without disabilities have complete control of their body, like you can just fly whenever you want? How
Yup. I’d log in, scroll for maybe 10-15 posts before I saw the first one from yesterday, play some Wild Ones, and that was that.
I’m trying a new system of DM’ing in-person DnD games where I’ve got my laptop plugged in to a TV everyone can see, and my players pass around a wireless KB+M to move their tokens around.
It works well enough, but I have to remember to “give them the cursor back” when I’m done doing things on the laptop screen, otherwise they can’t find it, haha
It is one of my favorite quotes from the entire series. Never before has a man painted a picture of himself as vivid as Jamie did when he delivered this line.
Stop performing dark rituals to yourself into a lich king
I don’t think people got the pun.
My bad, I forgot there were two episodes on this, I think maybe you only saw the first one or parts of it. There was a huge wooden structure with hundreds of mirrors arranged in a concave shape that almost perfectly aligned all mirrors’ reflections into one spot and absolutely nothing happened. Even with perfect mirrors and modern construction tools and techniques we couldn’t recreate it.
FWIW, resin is toxic and you need to wear gloves to handle it. So the gunk would never be on your hands.
Look up “mythbusters solar death ray” I think you’ll enjoy it
I actually had a way harder time adapting a story vs coming up with my own. I took a premade adventure that didn’t really have a “story”, just a bunch of quests the PCs could do to level up before fighting the big bad, and tried to make an actual arc out of it. It was really rough, and some of the quests you could tell were reeeally stretching it.
Came up with an idea for a bad guy. Looked up some lore to see where this guy may have come from, what type of being he may be, etc, and from there came up with a pretty cool back story, a couple of assistants/ underlings, and one or two plot hooks. It’s nowhere near done but it’s already way more interesting with more room to explore than the “easy peasy rearrange stuff” module I attempted.
So the Xbox 720 is twice as good as the one before it, but the 900 only gives you a 25% increase? Who’d buy that garbage?
I’m a huge LotR fan (probably going to go see Two Towers in theatre tonight!) and am very much not looking forward to this movie, lol. I was reading Fellowship a few months ago and got to the part of the book that talks about what the plot of Hunt for Gollum is about… Aragorn pretty much summarizes the entire thing in less than a paragraph. It’s pretty wild.
How loud specific things are in comparison to other sounds is one of the things that a director dictates to set the mood for their movie. We all agree that it’s gone a bit far with most things nowadays, but having something be piercingly loud or eerily quiet can be used really well, and if everyone from Tommy Teenager to Granny Gertrude can alter these settings with a TV remote and zero knowledge on maybe what they’re even doing (“I thought I was changing the volume and now the people don’t talk anymore!”) it would greatly diminish the director’s ability to control that.
