- Comment on Hundreds complain about failing mobile phone service since 3G switched off 1 week ago:
I think they mean that it didn’t get worse following the 3G shutdown. Conveniently ignoring all the phones that now get no signal whatsoever.
- Comment on Hundreds complain about failing mobile phone service since 3G switched off 1 week ago:
Have you tried a Vodafone SIM? I’ve heard they’re less strict with their blocking.
- Comment on Hundreds complain about failing mobile phone service since 3G switched off 1 week ago:
Not to mention the thousands of phones that would be VoLTE capable but are blocked regardless…
- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 3 weeks ago:
The latest XPS laptops really seem like they wanted to copy MacBook Pros from a few years ago with the touch function keys and the barren I/O.
I never really understood the purpose of the XPS line anyway. If you want performance, buy a Precision; if you want a light robust laptop with decent I/O, get a Latitude; if you want a MacBook, get a MacBook.

He’s totally not doing it to get Trumpf to like him. No no, he’s just an idiot.
- Comment on What do you want for Christmas? 1 month ago:
I just wanna be by myself and not forced to pretend that I like doing stuff with my family…
- Comment on Big, beige ’80s PC case started out as a joke, but it’s becoming real in Japan 2 months ago:
I’d much rather have a modern take on a 90s AT InWin case or something. Rock solid, tons of I/O options and very tall.

- Comment on Dropping an iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Down Crazy Spiral Staircase 100 Feet - Will It Survive? 2 months ago:
they are definitely a recommendation to buy for people like me.
Drop tests never yield realistic results (even non-sensationalist ones) because there are about a million different ways to drop a phone.
Get a decent case, that’s the best advice anyone could give you.
- Comment on Dropping an iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Down Crazy Spiral Staircase 100 Feet - Will It Survive? 2 months ago:
I mean, yeah I guess? But then everyone would be into the same music and that would be kinda boring.
My question was why some people find these tech destruction videos entertaining and I thought that you, as someone who posted a link to one to a technology board, could give your opinion on that but apparently not.

How?

People still watch these? Why?

That should be the header image for c/blunderyears
- Comment on The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly 3 months ago:
I wonder how much will Arch-derivative distros like Manjaro or EndeavourOS will benefit from this, aside from Proton improvements.
- Comment on Asus Z890 motherboards emerge at a U.S. retailer — pricing starts at $280 and goes over $1,000 3 months ago:
Do people still trust ASUS enough to give them over a grand for a mainboard? I know I don’t.

You can tell me that’s not part of the business model…

as well as a fee of €95 ($105) for 24 months of access Ah, there it is. The death subscription.
- Comment on Redox OS 0.9.0 - Redox - Your Next(Gen) OS 4 months ago:
I’d love to try this but the link to the guide on how to set it up in Virtualbox is borked :/
It says that the Virtualbox image is currently not working anyway.
- Comment on Apple Shares Full iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Repair Manuals 4 months ago:
Looks more helpful than no manual at all to me. Making the actual replacement parts available for anyone is another thing, though…
- Comment on The iPhone 16, new AirPods and other highlights from Apple's product showcase 4 months ago:
It’s nice that Apple for once introduced a nice feature for others to copy, the camera button. I loved those on my Lumia and Xperia phones.

Haiku is hardly an “alien hobby OS” anymore. There are sooo many videos on YouTube about it being this amazing linux alternative…
- Comment on Now you'll be able to purchase sunlight at night! 5 months ago:
I just feel like we at least can, in theory, keep the shit we do on/to earth under control.
Space is a different world entirely and not only do we not know what effects our shitty pollution projects have out there, we don’t even really care about it as far as I can tell.
- Comment on Now you'll be able to purchase sunlight at night! 5 months ago:
Can we just for a minute stop fucking around in space? It’s getting annoying
- Comment on European iPhones are more fun now 5 months ago:
Can you really guarantee that? I mean, it’s pretty much dependent on individual usage.
- Comment on European iPhones are more fun now 5 months ago:
They should do, although I can’t really imagine manufacturers incorporating plastic tabs into their sleek glass-metal sandwiches…
