Users have always hated computers but they now must use them and treat them as appliances.

When my parents needed a new computer, I told them “no hp ever, and don’t buy an anti-virus, it’s built-in now.” They obviously knew better than me and asked the salesman instead. They bought a hp computer with a McAffee subscription…

Not stylistic, it’s the language.

Smartphone keyboards are multilingual now. I can set it to French and autocorrect in English. But if there’s a bug, it may be confused I guess.

Actually Rolex are an investment. I’ve been told by a friend who has some Rolex that:

1. You can’t buy a Rolex, you must go in a waiting list
2. Buy the Rolex once it’s your turn
3. Use it for a few months
4. Sell the Rolex for $10k higher than the brand new price to someone who can’t wait

It seems to work somehow. People are morons.

Not only will this tell me the time like your watch

No. A cheap $100 phone is way more reliable than the most expensive Rolex thanks to NTP.

You really want emails replaced by a thousand applications OR emails controlled by the government?

A friend of mine had one. We used to play in the garden while the game was loading. Fucking tapes…

Or moderators. Why would they need those people when the AI can fix everything for free and even improve articles?

It’s automated and exponentially worse. It’s not the same thing.

destroy open source projects

I do believe that too. The AIs are stealing all the code and remove the licenses, and the OSI recently classified “binary blobs” as open-source. LLM companies need fresh content and will try anything to steal that.

I would ask for a refund because it’s a broken TV. I’m not kidding, who the fuck accepts this?

Making your own coffee is $5 for a whole box that lasts 2 weeks.

my phone was $1300 USD

How is that possible? I bought a brand new Pixel (old model) for less than $400 last year. And it is still expensive, I can get brand new Sony for $300.

I found out my parent’s computer had a lot viruses because they are dumb and bought a McAffee subscription. I told them, they answered that they knew better than me, I replied that I had a degree in computer sciences, and my father laughed like the fucking idiot he is.

Let’s say we don’t talk about my job or computer anymore. Also I reduced the visits and phone calls that they had because I’m tired with their bullshit.

It’s not smart if it’s not connected to anything. Only HDMI.

GrapheneOS has reproducible builds.

the children should have the right to say no more and it end there

Or what?

Microsoft is not even close to a walled garden

Were you in a coma for the past 40 years?
