yeah. they brew coffee in huge vats, probably using steaming hot water, then freeze dry it and grind it up to make instant coffee. it just tastes like shit.

Right, but that move was made in support of getting Donnie’s FCC to approve the merger so I’m counting it.

If anything is to blame it would be the Skydance merger. I will never pretend to understand “hollywood math” but apparently axeing all of your projects just before being purchased somehow makes you a more attractive purchase?

I “early adopted” Win 11 when the Ryzen 5600X came out (late 2020 i think?) and it was objectively better at release. All MS had to do was fix the start button and then not fuck with it and I’m sure there would have been way less hatorade flowing.

Daaaamn. The closest thing I could think of was my friends’ 96 (98? Whenever the EK body started) Honda civic that had the factory alarm and remote locks in the radio. He ended up splicing some wires and shoving the factory radio into his glove box or something to get around it.

How long until they start putting some kind of DRM in cars that prevents you from just installing an aftermarket android auto head unit?
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 1 week ago:
I’m talking more like the Windows ME/XP days to be honest. But too many to count. It’s more that actually useful features that used to be fairly standard (like 7-segment status displays and speakers) are effectively being gated behind $500+ motherboards to make them more attractive. A board that would have come with alphanumeric status codes now is lucky to ship with a couple LEDs that just indicate where a problem is at, not what the specific problem is.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 1 week ago:
I’m sure it doesn’t help that motherboard manufacturers have increasingly been targetting “whale” consumers over the last 10-15 years. I remember when a top of the line motherboard would cost you $300; and an average board was around $100-150.

I do, in fact. I get that they are typically open-source, and I also understand how ridiculously difficult it is to create one from scratch. If LibreWolf or whoever want to make privacy focused browsers based on mozilla foundation or google that’s fine and I support it, but I’m personally curious if there are any mainstream browsers that don’t have any (or minimal) reliance on google and mozilla foundation.
