A lot of legacy stuff that’s really expensive and time consuming to upgrade. If it ain’t broken (and protected from the internet), don’t fix it.

Sort of a win since you didn’t even reply to the right comment :-)

It’s relatively inexpensive and makes life much easier for people who are not tech savvy. Your position is that of an incredibly egoistic person that never had to help an older relative or dealt with an adult who doesn’t have time for random bs during an hour or so of downtime most people get in a day.

If spending hours trying to figure out which “free” streaming service had not gotten shot down today and magically has the content you want is worth less to you than a one time payment of a few bucks to plex, then you really don’t value your time.

You’re technically not supposed to invite people you don’t know because you’re responsible for your invitees to some degree.

Yeah, verb is kind of a stretch though.

I’ve seen this before and always thought the verb was a stretch since it is definitely not used in modern English, but I do like the idea of forming a sentence this way.

I’m sure there’s a better example in Ukrainian, but

Як як? Ну як як? Як як як…

Not really a pun and not translateable as a joke, but same word that can repeat to form a sentence.

Joke is a guy went to the zoo and friend is asking him how was yak. He replies with yak was like yak.

Yeah, external screen is just like using a regular smart phone. Normal size and aspect ratio amoled.

3. Pixel fold here. Entire last week I opened it once.

Apple hardware had always been decent, but I don’t understand the point of macos. If you can work entirely in the browser, than why waste the money on apple? Just grab a chrome book.

If your job requires software, macos is trash. Basic functions like window snapping are still missing. Gaming is non existent. Obscene memory requirements with nothing under 32gb usable for any real work.

I’ve been daily driving Linux for decades and occasionally use Windows, but any time I’m forced to use macos I’m just really confused why people would do that to themselves and then pay 3x the price for decent hardware.

Maybe if you live in an area with mostly SFHs so bugs can’t spread as aggressively? I’d never take furniture off the street. I’d rather sleep on bare floor than deal with bed bugs.

Ps5 pro was released a few days ago. Otherwise why are we even talking about scalpers and availability?

Sure, but you’re comparing apples to oranges. If you personally play older or not gpu intensive games at medium settings, then you can absolutely buy a gpu once every 7-10 years and not be affected by any scalpers. NES emulators are pretty cheap right now :-) You can also get an Intel GPU for under MSRP.

Obviously a hyperbole, but PC gamers looking for latest and greatest were affected much worse than console gamers wanting the latest stuff.

Just the crypto hype alone made it nearly impossible to get a decent gpu for years.

Do you build your own gpus too? Between ML and chip shortage, PC builders were affected much worse than any console users.

Aren’t most questions like this are simply looking at what approach you try and not a solution? They’ve been at it for years so they can easily tell if you’re trying something that makes sense or something trivial even if they don’t have a solution or even if there isn’t one.

Have you tried glances?

It did not. I think you and OP are feeling this based on anecdotal/singular experience. I can get any old movie I want and am able to download all the latest stuff very quickly using two private trackers. Been on one of them for over a decade and the other one is TL and I hardly ever use TL. 90/10 ratio.

This post is sadder than some of the warnings we get the world is about to end.

This comment will get down voted to absolute zero but: Samsung has amazing hardware and one of the worst software you could possibly put on a mobile device. Probably worst experience I’ve ever had using a mobile device. My experience was with S10.

Google has fantastic software and absolute shit hardware. Terrible battery life. Phone constantly lags and overheats from normal use. Terrible reception and non stop Bluetooth problems. Currently suffering with p7pro.

Oneplus was a fantastic company that created a phone that combined top of the line hardware with decent software at a very reasonable cost. Unfortunately now enshittification took over. Phones are overpriced, support is nonexistent and resale/trade in value is near zero. My experience was with Op8pro. Probably second best phone I’ve ever owned.

Other manufacturers like Sony, Asus, Nothing and Motorola are really a niche market now. They seem happy targeting a very narrow range of market. I’ve tried several phones from each brand, but never kept one longer than a week.

I’m sticking with pixel at the moment because software is so good it’s actually able to make this steaming pile of shit hardware semi functional.
