  • You mean Elop? Ballmer was MS CEO when MS bought Nokia, but they were doing fairly well in the beginning. Fucking moron Nadella took over and killed Windows mobile. Despite publically admitting later that it was a mistake, he's still a fucking moron.

  • Symbian was a fantastic OS, but it never competed with Android in any meaningful way. Nokia was already circling the drain when Microsoft bought them and first Windows phones (Lumias) were fucking awesome. And then fucking moron Nadella killed Windows Phone.

  • What's so special about 0 - 100? 40° of civilized units sucks, but is still perfectly survivable and is becoming more and more common in some parts of the world. That's 104° of fucked up units.

    Negatives up to -30° are also common around the world and I frequently went out in shorts and t-shirt in -10° for a short time to grab mail or take out trash.

    The only sort of reasonable justification for F units I've ever heard was that there's less of a change between whole degrees, but decimals are not exactly hard to figure out imnho.

  • Seems too expensive. Most people that owned a phone with a camera for the last few years would easily be in the $200/yr plan. I know I am.

    That's the cost of Amazon and Walmart subscriptions combined just to get one benefit of Amazon subscription.

    I realize people here tend to shit on Amazon, but they never leaked anyone's photos so unless you share them yourself, they are perfectly safe in AWS cloud with unlimited storage.

  • Zero issues for me. Been daily driving it for years. Play Steam games regularly, but have not tried switching to X. Performance on Windows is MUCH better with my 1080ti playing D4, but I'm prefectly content with preformance on Linux and don't want to keep switching.

  • I don't think your assumption is right at all. Me, and I sure fucking hope 99% of other people who bought a PHEV, charge at home. Because if not, why the fuck did you massively overpay for a car when you could've gotten the ICE version?

    My car is basically full electric for 99% of the time because 50 miles of electric range I get is plenty for daily driving in city traffic.

    I just don't want to waste money on full electric because somehow they are still treated and priced like luxury cars despite most of them being equivalent to cheap cars in build quality and materials.

    I also want to avoid the hassle of spending too much time at charging stations during long trips because I have kids and just want to get places. And please don't tell me there are a ton of charging stations without wait. I constantly see and hear from my friends who own electric cars how much of a pain it is especially during holidays. And I live in CA, easily one the states most prepared for electric cars.

  • I just feel that on Linux if you stay too long on software after a newer, shinier tool is available - you quickly get left behind. And it's not like Wayland is some alpha software from an obscure dev. I've been daily driving it for years on my work/fun laptop with very few issues. And it did solve a few problems for me mostly to do with multi monitor setup.

  • I'm not defending Nvidia, but my Nvidia laptop works prefectly fine with Wayland. And then I wanted to play games so I bought an egpu enclosure and put 1080ti in there and it worked prefectly fine OOB. Then I wanted to upgrade so I put 7900xtx in there and no driver, version, config or voodoo allowed me to use it.

    Not to mention VERY limited compatibility with ML libraries.

  • Small companies often allow devs access to prod DBs. It doesn't change the fact that it's a catastrophically stupid decision, but you often can't do anything about it.

    And of course, when they inevitably fuck up the blame will be on the IT team for not implementing necessary restrictions.

    Frequent snapshots ftmfw.

  • And made significantly worse by a) locking you into using a restricted version of the browser made by a shitty company. b) laging noticeably behind that browser in development c) using custom apis for performing tasks already available in any browser like interacting with microphone, camera etc d) breaking perfectly working components that rely on OS apis in regular browsers like screen sharing, video acceleration, etc e) some of the above is partially responsible for Electron being totally broken on certain combinations of OS/WM/hardware where regular browsers work prefectly fine

    I can keep going, but my point is all these pointless sacrifices are supposedly there to save dev team a bit of time instead of designing a properly working website and just using a web app or allocating some time to build a functional native app.

    Fuck Google and fuck electron. It's just a pathetic attempt to mine more data from people using pseudo app.
