  • Okay so I've skim read the article and two things, one they need to optimise their damn website for tablets, so I can actually read it since half the videos were covering the text, two they don't actually have any revelations, shocking or otherwise, because they are essentially rehashing already available information with essentially no new details being gleaned from the trailer.

    It's a toss-up on whether AI wrote this.

  • There are actual YouTubers who are able to break down trailers so accurately that they're able to develop maps who put out videos that are less clickbatey than that title.

    I'll just wait for one of them to put out an update, shouldn't be more than a few hours.

  • I have to admit though the deck doesn't look like it should be ergonomic. It looks far larger than it actually is and it is pretty big.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it is too large for a lot of markets. It definitely seems like a product that was designed for westerners in mind.

  • Well sort of, you're right that they've introduced a search bar but that's all they've done. It's all still broken down into fairly arbitrarily arrived at categories it's not in alphabet order, or in fact any real order.

    Sound settings are under peripherals for god's sake. I mean sure okay speakers are a peripheral I guess but when you say peripheral you think things like webcams, not basic I/O.

  • Regardless of the reason the problem remains that there is no consistent design distro to distro and that's a problem for the end user. If we're ever going to have "year of Linux" then the developers are going to have to get over themselves and stop with the idea that everyone who is going to use their platform is technologically inclined.

    Otherwise it's always outgoing to just be for the techies. Can you imagine your grandparents trying to use Linux and then looking stuff up on their own and then doing something wrong because they don't know what distro they're on? Nightmare.

  • Of course this is a solved problem and has been a solved problem for at least 15 years now. It's called a flat wide hierarchy. Rather than trying to put everything into categories you just put everything into alphabetical order and then have a search box. Want to change the background, it's under B for Background, rather than having to go to Display Settings > Customisation > Desktop Background > Custom Background > Select Image

  • My biggest complaint about Linux is how literally everything requires you to do some arcane magic in the terminal.

    Just make it a button damn it. As it is I just copy and paste what I'm told into the terminal so you could have just added a button into the operating system that just did that behind the scenes.

  • Anyone who is even remotely involved in developing commercial software knows this.

    Step 1 is growing a customer base,
    Step 2 is making that customer base loyal,
    Step 3 is and in ads, free tiers with more ads, bonus currency and other BS

    Everyone knows that if you're ever going to charge money for your product you charge money for your product day one. You don't have a free alpha release or something and then expect everyone to pay later on, that sort of misdirect gets up people's noses. Star citizen is an absolute master class in how to do this well, not morally of course, but definitely done well.

  • The library near me has a bunch of 3D printers people can rent time on, or maybe it's based on filament used I'm not sure I've never actually used them.

    At one point they had some surface tablets connected up to them so people could review their 3D prints or something, (again not my area of expertise), but apparently it was enough of an issue they eventually got rid of them and just replaced them with some desktops. It seems that the 3D design software just isn't built for touch screen primary interfaces. They'll work up to a point but then you'll come up against something that you have to use a mouse and keyboard for and be stuck, so then you have to go get a mouse and keyboard.

  • That or they have worked out that even if AGI is achievable with the current architecture the existence of R1 and other Chinese models essentially means they will never make a profit at it.

    If they achieve their goal, within 48 hours the open source community will have replicated it.

  • What he gets really irritated about is the fact that you have to file a flight plan and that flight plan has to be public, because obviously otherwise it wouldn't work.

    So anyone at any time can track his plane, and no matter how rich he is, there is fuck all he can do about it

  • make it so the users can't close the tab until they bought something.

    Why do they always request that? They've never seen any website on the internet work like that yet they actually think that they are the first people to come up with that idea.

  • It would still have to be in at least somewhat of a consistent format. Even a human would require that.

    If they're just going to write the details however they feel on any particular day and then just expect someone or something to be able to interpret that they're going to have a bad time.

  • Now the self checkouts are being decommissioned and we’re going back to regular human cashiers.

    Maybe this is North American thing because in Europe they never really got rid of human cashiers, they just had the automated systems alongside the human cashiers.

    I don't know of any store that went over to 100% self-checkout
