Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung's latest update is a serious gut punch to Galaxy power usersEnglish
32·3 days agoI had a Samsung TV over 10 years ago. One of the early “smart” ones. It got quite a few updates where a happy little text box told “your samsung smart tv got even better” or some shit like that. Even if they actively removed features and or apps got unsupportet. You know after like 2 years or so.
Like fuck it. It still works as regular ass TV till this date. But the whole software and update experience was so shit that i never bought a samsung device ever again. Wait, thats a lie. I bought two of those 25 buck dumbphones from them. They were pretty good for what they were, ngl. But apart from that Samsung is a big no-no for me and i get proven right year after year.

Technology@lemmy.world•Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC IndustryEnglish
8·3 days agoMy guy,
i said mobile compute power is insane. You had a somewhat sensible take why it may not transfer to a laptop. I gave you hard facts why your concerns arent applicable. Instead of just admitting you misjudged the resolution differences you mansplain to me some irrelevant things. Yeah, the power draw is going to be different. Its a laptop, no shit. It also has tons of more space for a battery.
You are just talking out of your ass. Instead of looking up the wikipedia page for 2 minutes.
/Its also a released product. Reviews and benchmarks are readily available… Like what. Just look it up.

81·3 days agoSo if you’re running a larger format display with a higher resolution, cut that by quite a bit.
Funny thing is that the Macbook Neo needs to drive less pixels:
Iphone 16 Pro: 2868 x 1320
Macbook Neo: 2408 x 1506
Also only at 60hz and not 120hz. While having magnitudes more thermal mass to cool with the prolonged high performance bursts. I dont have any worries about its performance in its intented market segment. And yes, its running MacOS which still runs pretty well with a Macbook Air M1-M3 with 8GB of RAM.

82·3 days agoI mean modern smartphone SOC compute power is insane. That wont be a bottleneck for a long time. If i had to make a guess they dont even have to go the hardware failure route for planned obsolescence. That measily 8GB of shared ram for both CPU and GPU will take care of that. Just add a bit more shiny UI bloat with every update and this thing will get slow af at some point in the future. Takes care of all the entry level M1 Airs too…
Good, good, good! Film your faces while you violate those cute clankers. Gives me maybe a bit of time to react when Skynet becomes sentient and goes after them first.
For anybody wondering:
Yes and Christie Mack.
Not so funfact: i believe her boyfriend was the guy who punched himself over tcp/ip. Not fun because he punched her too on a different occasion.

oh, for the user you mean?
- it can be better than the enshittified search machines unless the llm decides to lie
- middle managers need to write less emails themselves
- some programmers deem it enough to write some boilerplate code while deskilling themselves
- scammers and slop creators love it
lmao that lamp is way to fancy

This jiff lives rent-free in my head for 20(?) years in my head. its just perfect and got even perfecter over time.
Sweet. Your experience is valid as mine!
I’m happy to hear its working out for you without any issues. Your experience is valid as mine. But you stating that a normie distro like ubuntu has quality issues proofs my point. :D
I dont think so. Maybe once? I dont remember all the distros i tried over the years. As i said it even happened with ubuntu on a thinkpad where i made it a point to do no funky shit at all.
Currently i’m running CachyOS and do lots of funky shit. Fair game. But only because i know i just can roll back if something breaks.
Well, i made the final switch to linux myself last year and i’m pretty happy all things considered. But while a lot of things improved over the last 10 years some deal breakers are still around. In my case: just this week an update broke my desktop enviroment entirely for the SECOND time since august. I couldnt even log in. Yeah, i had automatic back ups and the issue was solved in 5 minutes.
But thats not my point. Every single linux install i had going since 2012 fucking died on it itself at some point because of an update. On three different thinkpads, three different tower PCs, running like 6 or 7 different distros. On some of these thinkpads i literally only used the browser to watch youtube and shitpost for months. Nothing else. Didnt touch the console once and never ran some random c&p command i didnt understand. Didnt install anything else. Also i used normie distros like ubuntu and the like. Still every single time at some point an update killed the entire GUI/OS. In the past i just switched back to Windows.
Now Windows is so bad that i learned to deal with this shit. Maybe i’m unlucky. Maybe i’m stupid. But this is just a constant for me in the linux experience. IDK how i could recommend Linux to my normie friends/family. I let massgrave run for them for LTSC or extended support stuff. Done, and i will probably never hear a thing about that OS/PC again. Linux? Nah, i’m good. I dont have the time to do first level support for them if something breaks.
/Also atm i just have the time to geek out and invest time in my OS. Just 3 years ago that would have been a no-go. Things i use for leisure just needed to work in my very limited spare time. Back then i’d rather have taken a nap than to deal with tech issues.
