Not surprised Apple’s market share is improving.
I bought a Pixel 10 and Google’s software quality control is laughable. Ridiculously simple things just don’t work properly. For instance Google has broken Bluetooth for some common devices, USB won’t connect at all to some computers, and audio players are killed to save battery even when the phone is plugged in.
Never thought I’d consider an Apple but an Iphone my will be my next purchase.
“I’m conservative so I can force everyone else to live by my rules. How dare those other conservatives try to do the same thing to me!”
The stupidity of these people is fucking painful.
For years there were opinion pieces in publications about how much better renting is than buying. Financial experts made the case that the expense of purchasing and maintenance weren’t worth any benefits of ownership, especially in the long term. After dealing with big rent increases, insane landlords, and apartments being shown while I was living in them I wasn’t convinced. When adding in the relative stability in the of costs of ownership I always thought those experts were full of crap.
Turns out none of those articles took sudden increases in property values and rent into account. Trying to rent an apartment for someone on a moderate fixed income in my area has become damn near impossible. Rents have gone up ~60% in 5 years far exceeding the COL increases most people see from retirement income or even the raises they may be getting from their employers if they’re working.
Buying a home was one of the best financial decisions I’ve ever made.
Putin’s lackey just needs an excuse to follow his boss’s orders.
They cheered repeatedly, but since you’re too “fucking stupid” to read the article we’re done here.
Translation: A 66 percent majority of older MAGA men are willing to sacrifice American other people’s lives.
What goals would those be? Would it be opening the Strait of Hormuz? Or how about an Iran without nuclear weapons?
Funny how we had both of those “goals” before the shitgibbon started the war.
Haven’t tried that yet. For now I’ve blocked most of Roku’s BS with Adguard Home.
Roku is every bit as bad. They bricked all customer’s previously purchased TVs by implementing a new user agreement through their UI without warning. It couuld not be bypassed. Opting out required first opting in, agreeing to those new terms and then mailing a letter within a very short window with explicit, detailed requirements.
My next TV won’t be connected to the Internet and definitely won’t be a Roku or Visio product.
Officers who falsify charges should be in jail, but in the U.S. wearing a badge gives criminals almost complete immunity to the law.
The only reason Microsoft is doing anything is their enterprise customers have had enough of their BS.
HP is a garbage company. My laptops typically last until the hardware is well past obsolete, but not HP’s crap. My HP X360 laptop’s motherboard failed completely and the hinges just fell apart for the 2nd time. This POS didn’t last for 3 years of occasional use. Never again.
I’ve been using Linux for years, but on my hardware I’ve never been able to get Ubuntu to work reliably. I now only use it when booting from a USB for backups, but even on a relatively recent Dell laptop with Intel graphics the GUI crashes constantly. IMO it isn’t worth the trouble, but of course someone here will be oh-so offended by that.
After trying dozens of distros I went back to Mint because it just works.
Next step: When a 3rd party cartridge is detected HP will degrade print quality just enough to make them unusable while blaming the cartridge manufacturers for the problem.
When I get to 20 or so I have to start closing some tabs to keep track of things. How do you find the tab you’re looking for when you have that many open?
I’m running Mint on an 8GB laptop and I’m surprised by just how much can be running at one time. Right now I’m running Firefox with 10 open tabs, Waterfox with 8 tabs, Thunderbird, Keepass, Calibre, Signal, a Whatsapp client, Syncthing, Libreoffice Writer with 2 open docs & Calc with 2 open small spreadsheets, a couple of terminals and Gedit, and didn’t even notice it until came across these comments. A friend who uses Windows 11 says 32GB is recommended now.
Microsoft must be thrilled with age verification being required at the OS level. What a great way to lock people into their Microslop garbage.
The tech industry will get to keep refunds of the of tariffs they’ve collected AND will make more money automating the distribution of those refunds to themselves.
Sounds like the tech industry is in tariff heaven.
He is almost literally saying, “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”
That was my plan, but since GrapheneOS is based on Google’s Android 16 code I’d expect it to have the same bugs.
