“I think it comes down to either incompetence or laziness … it just seems like the engineers who developed this were either ignorant or incompetent,” he said"

Nah, I’m sure the engineers knew, or were too incompetent

As per usual, it’s management who pushed for such tight development schedules that they didn’t have the time to do it right while at the same time offering so little money they could only attract idiots who only know half of what they should.

I fucking guarantee you that is the core of the problem

This.

It can get even worse

If I lose my job, I won’t be able to stay here, I’ll get deported, I might lose my marriage as well, I’ll lose everything in life

And the company owner knows this and oh boy is he having fun with that knowledge. So they scream their lungs out at me, insulting me to my face. What am I going to do about it? Quit? Complain and get fired?

Fuck all this

God do I hate CEO corpo speech. Nobody talks like that and it’s is almost exclusively used to dress up something ugly to look pretty, or yoake a lie look like the truth or just weasel your way out of an indefensible position

Fuck CEO’s

Microsoft is reportedly looking at Valve’s SteamOS as the benchmark for gaming

Yeah, that’s Linux

Valve’s SteamOS continues to show significant advantages over Windows 11 for gamers, with better memory utilization and improved in-game performance, but Microsoft has a plan to combat that.

Let that sink in for a second. Linux with a not-an-emulation layer API runs Microsoft Windows games faster than Microsoft Windows, and so now Microsoft is scrambling to get windows at least as efficient again as Linux in running Windows products.

Anyone ever trusting Microsoft again is a dumbass fool

And what will their ambitious plan be?

Marketing, bribery, coercion, cheating. Those are the only things Microsoft has ever excelled at (pun intended), as software development is something they have NEVER done well

I used to go to a computer club

I was one of “those” kids. This was during the height of the Commodore Amiga, the most beautiful piece of hardware I’ve ever owned. It was magical

Those computer clubs were on paper all about teaching, exchanging ideas, showing off hardware, etc

In reality, when you’d enter the room, there would be hundreds of Amiga computers running xcopy, copying one floppy disk after another. Everyone had their floppy boxes open, I had a few hundred 3.5" disks, in a Feib boxes. People would just walk by, rummage through my collection, take what they wanted to copy, and bring it all back later.

Everything was super respectful and so so so much fun. It was every last (or first?) Saturday of the month, and if look forward to it for weeks

Piracy was life at that time. I had no idea where to buy games, I barely realized that people would pay for software. I had zero money anyway, I would never buy anything because I didn’t have the money

It was a magical time and I yearn for it

In reali

I wouldn’t mind a USB-C sub type that works like that, just the connector is yankable like that, yet it’s pure USB-C and fucking compatible

Because if you think that Apple added this port just and only because of the yankable cable, and not to again be purposely be incompatible so they can squeeze more money out of you, then I have a bridge to sell you…

Aaaah, such a beautiful fantasy

Too bad that reality is that it may very well delete everything and post your private home made porn collection online because whoopsie

If they can still repair it I guess more drones are needed

Fuck Amazon

Battlefield on PlayStation, hands down

Played 2, 3, 4, 1 (don’t ask, I didn’t make the numbering) and 5 to death on a wide variety of play Station models. Would log some average of 10 hours per week, every week, for since BF2 started and BF5 ended

Imagine if humanity would spend all this energy and effort into things that would actually benefit humanity world wide. Medicine and medical personnel, food research and production, education, housing, care for the elderly…

Oh man, this world could be so nice…

Microsoft is doing this ONLY because they finally recognized that Linux surpassed them flying on the one thing they were king: games

Microsoft doesn’t give a single shit about end users, never had. It always had the goal of becoming the dominant ayer, then get a monopoly, and then doing absolutely nothing anymore until users complain too much. This has been their work ethos since it’s inception and if you believe otherwise I have a bridge to sell you.

Because?

Ooohhhh revolutionary battery article #15592508

I’m sure this one won’t be bullshit and will come into production tomorrow, right?

Oh snap!

So is there a socket container for this? Wi wouldn’t mind wasting some hacker assholes time with this

I had an HP laser printer pre 2000, the thing was built like a tank and just always worked

Who cares if it’s true? Just ditch windows already

I’d say that 99.somethiny percent of open source software is also free as in beer

Come to think of it, I can’t remember ever having seen open source software that required payment

There has been a computer revolution for sure

There has been a mobile phone revolution, absolutely

There was even a social media revolution, changed the way we interact

AI, though, so far has been just “the next it fad” in the 2-5 year cycle, like NFT before it, like Crypto currencies before that, and what was it before that? Web 3.0, then before that there was… Trying to remember… cloud computing? Each of these fads had minor to no influence.in how we did things, and for AI we only just added in stupidity of writing documents with AI which completely misses the point why we write those documents to begin with
