I honestly don’t get what companies are thinking with these prices. They’re all raising prices, despite reporting record breaking profits, and for me the experience has been the same as yours, I just buy less or stop buying completely.

I completely forgot the US still uses lie detectors… Jesus christ, what a backwards country.
- Comment on Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe 5 months ago:
Correction, we went from fanatical Elon worship to a sudden realization, that he’s the greatest scam artist of all time (quite literally, nobody EVER burned more tax payer and inverter money) and went into sudden shock and disbelief.
- Comment on Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating 5 months ago:
Pretty sure 1 and 3 could be applied to many modern actions games. Software patents shouldn’t exist! Same with apple’s patents for specific menu animations. It’s fucking evil!
- Comment on Meta slapped with a €798M fine in Europe, its biggest yet 5 months ago:
It’s stuff like this that gives me a little comfort/hope living in Europe. There’s still lots of fucked shit, but at least there are some people in power that care at least that tiny bit.
- Comment on People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set. 5 months ago:
2002 here, we still had such a TV. For quite a while actually, since we never upgraded and just started using phones and computers instead. It became my console monitor.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
Thanks for not providing even a single example… I tried looking around and only found relatively niche use cases, like them being more reliable and resistant (while also being lighter) for extreme environments or infrequent use, for example emergency equipment. And then some people choosing em because they don’t feel like investing more into it, when they have only a couple devices that drain the batteries slowly, let’s say a clock that lasts a year. That could be easily fixed if you could exchange empty batteries for full ones like with gass tanks and similar, and the prior examples aren’t a good enough reason to have such batteries in the convenience store.

Very insightful comment Mr. IT of lemmy.

Honestly don’t feel like a slight reduction on a month long battery life is of much concern. As for waste, I’d say being able to replace a dead battery should reduce waste if anything, also nobody said it must be a AA (on a side note, you seem to imply the use of non-rechargeable AA, which holy shit, if they’re still a thing, must be purged, sweet jesus…who’s dumb enough to waste money on em???). Personally, I’d much prefer having a second battery charging separately somewhere, ready to swap, as opposed to being forced to stop using my computer. Or like the Nintendo Switch I mentioned before, have some spot I can put it away for charing, that way the mouse is also cleaned up and not fucking dangling and wobbling around freely on the table.

I don’t understand what was wrong with the original version that just took 2 AA batteries. Reaching for the AA charger and swapping cells too much effort or something?
Smart and elegant design would be hiding a battery charger in the iMac it self (maybe even use something smaller than AA), not expect you to flip and plug in your mouse every time ya leave it. The Nintendo Switch, while a completely different form factor, is a great example of an elegant “wireless” charging solution.
I’m getting really sick of the Apple esthetic of sticking out wires, be it the mouse or the dozen dongles for every portable device they now make. Uh! Can’t forget the world’s only pen that needs charging, for seemingly no reason.
- Comment on Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app. 5 months ago:
“Debatable” is a heavy stretch for someone with a 0% track record when it comes to promised tech while repeating “we can do it NOW and it will be available NEXT YEAR!” for a literal decade. Robo taxies were supposed to be EVERYWHERE 4 years ago. Same with SpaceX, we were supposed to be sending the first people to mars this year, yet all Elon has managed was burn 3 bilion tax payer dollars for literal fireworks, as not a single “starship” managed to reach high orbit. Even the cybertruck is a cheap knockoff of what was promised. Not to mention the countless people that have died because he’s allowed to beta test his death machines in public. Can’t forget his starlink shenanigans in Ukraine, fucking warlord wannabe… Elon is the greatest scam artist in modern history, and it’s absolutely disgraceful that he isn’t behind bars, let alone valued at all.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 5 months ago:
Right, my daily reminder that the US doesn’t belive in human rights. Article 23 of the UN human rights declaration for anyone curious. This is also a fun, yet basic resource: ourworldindata.org/…/countries-with-independent-n…
It’s sad that the west still glorifies this fucking homunculus that not only doesn’t try to adhere to any agreed principals and values, but actively goes against them. The republicans are against half the things written in there, while the dems “compromise” so hard that “barely making it” is the ultimate unachievable goal in the distance to aim towards. Fucking pathetic.
- Comment on Minecraft is losing VR support next year 5 months ago:
I knew and even tried it before, but I completely forgot it existed because it sucked so much. Nobody can see you moving your hands and tilting your head, which kills all the fun of a VR multi-player game IMO. It’s just a glorified controller binding for VR headsets. Considering all the other wacky things they added, I don’t see why they didn’t add actual VR support.
- Comment on Adobe execs say artists need to embrace AI or get left behind 5 months ago:
I’m at an absolute loss as to why people use Adobe. It’s hot garbage and the price is WAY out of league. It’s a shining example of the open market not existing/working as advertised.
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 5 months ago:
French is even more special.
Tho like I said before, it’s not perfectly accurate. In Czech 90 + 2 is the official way, but many people around Prague and closer to Germany do in fact occasionally say 2 + 90.
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 5 months ago:
I especially hate what we the Czechs do. We mostly read numbers the same (21 = twenty one), but then once every blue moon some dimwit says 21 like “one and twenty” like he’s fucking German or something. German is bad enough, but why do we have to mix it???
