You’re really going to tell us that you’ve never done something you parents told you not to?
- Comment on Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them 3 days ago:
A delusional billionaire toying with people’s lives. More at 11
- Comment on Xbox president: Studio closures will ensure 'business is healthy for the long term' 6 days ago:
They want to ensure their business is working well, so they shutdown the parts that were working well, and left those that are failing miserably. Logic checks out
- Comment on Favourite controllers 1 week ago:
I’m considering changing to it, but i’d like to try it out somewhere first. Quite a pricetag for something that might be less comfortable
- Comment on what lemmy web app do you use and why? 1 week ago:
Photon on desktop (although it’s excellent on mobile too), however I use Boost on Android, and Voyager on iOS. Native apps always feel a little more cohesive
- Comment on Favourite controllers 1 week ago:
The Switch Pro controller has been my favorite, however it has two issues. The trigger buttons are just a switch, so if you’re into arcade racing games, that’ll be rough. The other is that the rubber pads on the thumbsticks are questionable quality, and can also become quite slippery from the oils in your skin
- Comment on What is the point of Xbox? 1 week ago:
Microsoft and Google really aren’t too dissimilar, in a lot of ways. The only reason why Xbox still exists isn’t because they’re so incredibly passionate about it. There was a niche for them to make money, and they’ve create a product in it, that has the minimum viable qualities to complete. Issue is that just as Google does, they stopped caring about it entirely, after the initial pitch
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 1 week ago:
Cancel your sub and don’t renew it. This shit will only continue getting worse if people continue paying for it
- Comment on BREAKING: Microsoft has closed Redfall's Arkane Austin, HiFi Rush's Tango Gameworks, and more in devastating cuts at Bethesda. | IGN 1 week ago:
Because being received well isn’t what Microsoft are after. They’re after making as much money, as (un-)realistically possible, even if it means shutting down things. This isn’t the first, and definitely not the last time. They’ve had more than a handful of studios with iconic IPs, that got absolutely annihilated after acquisition
- Comment on Elon Musk reveals Tesla software-locked cheapest Model Y, offers 40-60 more miles of range 1 week ago:
The forum structure is a complete shitshow, so if your device isn’t the prime target for mods, it’s very uncomfortable to use
- Comment on How do passkeys work across devices? 1 week ago:
The wallet itself is nice, but managing the database transfers between devices isn’t really something I want to do manually, especially given that devices like Apple’s iPhones don’t support background syncing, crippling Syncthing clients, or alternatives
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 1 week ago:
The issue isn’t even with what it runs on, albeit selling it as specialized hardware is really bizarre, when it’s just a glorified embedded platform with a scroll wheel
- Comment on Nintendo DMCA Notice Wipes Out 8,535 Yuzu Repos, Mig Switch Also Targeted. 1 week ago:
It doesn’t matter where you are. The company is based in the US, so they’re required to follow local law
- Comment on Tesla Exodus Continues As Top HR Exec Leaves After Brutal Job Cuts 2 weeks ago:
Two shit stains from the same asshole. Corporate America produces irredeemable trash
- Comment on Tesla Exodus Continues As Top HR Exec Leaves After Brutal Job Cuts 2 weeks ago:
I really can’t wait for the day, when news about this clown just end. Everything he touches turns into garbage
- Comment on Which is the best Lemmy app for mobile? 2 weeks ago:
Boost for Android, or Voyager on iOS. These are definitely my choices, after extensive use
- Comment on How working for Big Tech lost 'dream job' status 2 weeks ago:
Depends on how you put it. Realistically, to a degree. The issue is that with any new business type, they are forced to prove their worth at first, so it’s always ran by passionate people. Later on, it all slowly transitions into the clusterfuck we have today
- Comment on How working for Big Tech lost 'dream job' status 2 weeks ago:
That’s what happens, when the two grading choices in your language class are either 0%, or 100%
- Comment on How working for Big Tech lost 'dream job' status 2 weeks ago:
Working for these companies lost any charm, when it stopped being about innovation, and working on cool things, and started being about min-maxing profits, at the cost abusing workers until they are suicidal
- Comment on The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook 2 weeks ago:
Just because a signal is sent, it doesn’t mean it’ll be received. We all know that practically any other major brand will still pump and dump e-waste, filled to the brim with mtx
- Comment on Boeing retaliated against its own engineers working for FAA, union says 3 weeks ago:
Just another proof that it doesn’t matter who you are, and what you do. Corporate America will fuck you over in every way it possibly can
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 4 weeks ago:
That’s just the reality we’re in now. All components will eventually ship as a single bundle, and there’s nothing you’d be able to do. Obviously there are speed and latency benefits to this, but it comes at a cost of a colossal amount of e-waste with hardcoded serial numbers. This only works in their favor, because the groups of people you’ve described will just return to the shop, and buy a more expensive model
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 4 weeks ago:
They’ll continue selling these, purely because of two reasons:
- On an Air, 8gb is the bare minimum that is realistically viable, for people who don’t do anything than browse the web, who they can later upsell, when they get a new machine.
- They can immediately upsell you for every extra memory tier you would need. This makes them a colossal amount of money.
Practically all of us know that the difference between these memory modules is pocket change, when mass produced like this, but for those extra couple cents, they get an extra 100$ from you
- Comment on MKBHD - Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies? 4 weeks ago:
The baseline of this entire discussion is that not all companies deserve to survive. You make a good product - you grow. You don’t make a good product - you adjust for the losses. There are no participation trophies there. Worst case scenario, someone will pick up on the same idea, and turn it into something actually good later on
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 4 weeks ago:
While I agree, the amount of people who’d do this is negligibly small, compared to their total userbase. Obviously a bunch of people use ad blockers, but only a tiny amount of them have modified apps, followed by an even tinier amount of those people with fully custom frontends. For YT it might work out as a net positive, because the annoying blocks and reminders will just pressure people into paying for Premium.
At the end of the day, I could just stop watching youtube entirely, if this trend continues. I have nothing to gain there
- Comment on Fallout 4 is Getting Free Updates on April 25 5 weeks ago:
Given the rest of the updates, i’ll close my eyes to it. Just disable the menu with a mod, as always, and just forget it was there
- Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon 5 weeks ago:
Same here. I installed Fedora on my old dev laptop, that my mom uses now, and she’s been really happy with it. Says everything just makes sense, coming from windows
- Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon 5 weeks ago:
As much as i agree, the vast majority of people will just continue using what they had before, and still complain about how nothing works
- Comment on Humane AI Pin review: not even close 5 weeks ago:
Who is this product for, outside of lunatics who are already convinced AI will replace everything in their life?
- Comment on Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton 5 weeks ago:
The way Apple or companies like Paypal implement two-factor authentication, let alone passkeys, drive me up the wall. This all could have been so much better.
I’m not even going to mention all the platforms that rolled out passkey creation support, but not passkey login support, for whichever damn reason
