But immediately dismissing people’s problems is the Linux way. Linux is perfect, I had no issues with it, so if you have any issues you’re simply wrong!

God I fucking hate the abuse of the word “bricked” by tech journalists. You brick a piece of technology when you fuck it up so bad that it cannot be recovered - it becomes functionally a brick.

They are not bricking this device, they are shutting down the cloud services it needs to function because they are going out of business.

I have the kitchen vent running and oh my god it does not help one bit. I think I’m especially sensitive though. I remember as a kid, my eyes would water sitting in the living room as my dad cooked in the kitchen.

Not that the fumes can’t go around but there was a wall between.

Yeah, they could certainly use more resolution in their data, I’m sure they wish for it all the time.

But to pick on your example, they have certain requirements for specifically how they take the temperature which explains at least some of the discrepancy between them and your thermometer. For example, the thermometer must be in shade, must be iirc 2 metres off the ground, things like that.

One thing that always bothers me about weather forecasts is they are not very specific, 24 or even 12 hours into the future. Like, they are correct that it will rain, but then somehow that rain always just misses me, and goes a few miles to the south, or something. Or it stops just a few miles shy of me.

If this can give more specific forecasts in the immediate future, that’ll be nice to see.

The cursor used to appear pixelated at high magnifications until they switched to it a vector to fix it, so definitely intentional

No I think they’re both ok, good talk.

I don’t even look at the AI result. I scroll right past. That’s the thing, if it’s bullshit 50% of the time, and you can’t always tell like you can here, then it’s bullshit 100% of the time, and it’s useless, just taking up screen real estate.

Adobe products often have no real equal. It sucks, but it’s the way it is. Gimp doesn’t come close to Photoshop, Inkscape is almost as good as Adobe Illustrator, and After Effects is the most capable video editing software I’ve ever used.

It sucks that they try and lock you into proprietary file formats, like Substance Painter.

Asks the fucking developer of lemmy if they’re lost. fucking lmao

I’ve heard that newer generations are becoming less tech literate on average than previous generations. They don’t try to fix their device, they just expect it to work. When it doesn’t, they don’t have the troubleshooting skills to fix it. They never had the opportunity to learn them.

A couple of the “mistakes” are actually just normal. The winglets one, the angle is maybe a little extreme, but planes have upturned winglets. The asymmetric engines, that’s one way to transport a jet engine, just bolt it onto the wing of a plane.

That’s obvious to you to do, yes. You have experience with Linux.

I watched a video of a Linux noob trying it for the first time. They chose Mint, and a significant amount of problems arose from the fact that mint is still on an old kernel version, and there was little to no indication from the OS or from cursory googling that updating it would fix the issue or even that you should do that.
