Can someone explain to me why for the love of God all the PC builders still insist we need an endless number of USB-A ports instead of C? Why wouldn't one flip the ratio here?

@Techaltar For the same reason this exists (image)

You can introduce the best technology possible, you can say 1000 reasons this is 1000x better but people simply can't let old things go.

After seeing all the Snapdragon laptops, how are you feeling about them?

UnderEu,
@UnderEu@mas.to avatar

@Techaltar No upgradable/repairable parts? No OS independence? No features that real people ACTUALLY need?

The fact that you search for a YouTube channel's name and the FIRST video result is NOT one from that channel, but a random unrelated recommendation is insane. It breaks the definition of "search"

Just heard the Dune director being described as having the "Apple Store aesthetic" and now I can't unsee it 😂

Our first price for a laptop with the Snapdragon Elite X just leaked:

14" Galaxy Book Edge: 1800 EUR with 16+512GB.

The same laptop with Intel Core Ultra apparently starts at 1899 and a similar memory spec 13.6" MacBook Air goes for 1749 (though you have the option for lower specs).

A bit disappointed tbh. Galaxy Books always launch weirdly expensive & I guess this might include touch + OLED + pen, but Windows really needs to at least match prices IMO

PSA: We're two days to a possible US government shutdown.

That means NOW is the best time to get out your Blonder-Tongues and other NTSC broadcasting equipment, get them connected, and ready to go.

That way you'll be able to begin broadcasting unlicensed pirate TV the very moment the FCC goes on hiatus

Frage an mastodon server Betreiber. Ich habe das Problem, dass unsere Instanz nicht via ipv6 erreichbar ist. Der AAAA Record ist richtig gesetzt und die Firewall korrekt konfiguriert. Ebenso lauscht nginx auf alle ipv6 Adressen. An was kann das noch liegen? OS ist debian 12.

Any tips from long time users for what I should check out? So far my favorite experience was Puzzling Places.

Brave, Chrome, Firefox & Edge are all native for Windows on ARM now, so browsers are no longer an issue.

Given that Photoshop is native + Resolve is promised, slowly the "creative" apps are less of a problem, too.

That basically leaves games as the last holdout.

@Techaltar What about Windows itself? There’s no place to download any ARM ISO neither buy a license, for some reason.

I use this browser extension called Unhook on YouTube when I need to get things done and it lets me block all recommended feeds while leaving subscriptions & search functional. It has really helped me not waste hours on rabbit holes when I don't want to

One of my biggest pet peaves is people at airport baggage pickup lines being incapable of standing behind the designated line. It's always only a few assholes first, then others join, cause I guess why not, and within a few minutes you can't see any of the bags unless you elbow people out of the way. A perfect small-scale demonstration of the tragedy of the commons

Since I'm too lazy to Google, is Apple insanely petty for intentionally not giving Android devices native support via USB to just show up as any other device, or is Google insanely incompetent? It's bad enough that you have need the dedicated "Android File Transfer" app to just see the files on your phone, but this pile of junk also doesn't work half the time. So infuriating

In the last few days I have slowly uncovered that I have, in fact, been scammed by O2 since February 2023.

  • Sales person calls & says I should get a better deal. Same price, more data!
  • I say OK, as long as I don't have to pay more.
  • I get a contract confirmation, incl. 14 day withdrawal rights. Looks good.
  • 20 days later I get a "summary of your new contract" that in small print has a new phone number in it. I don't catch it.
  • My next phone bill comes, is 2x as expensive.

@Techaltar Used to fall for the same ^%#}€ then I started doing the following: Decline EVERY sales pitch they offer by calling me, instead I will call them and ask for something whenever I feel necessary.

Plus, I enabled TrueCaller spam filtering + many other govt. block lists (this is a thing in Brazil and yes, it works surprisingly well). The result: NOBODY calls me for anything! Sounds very lonely but haven’t fell for this *%#{} for years now.

Huh, I almost fell for what I assume is a phishing SMS. I do indeed have an O2 contract expiring on 20.01.2024 and O2 often spams me with SMS messages from random numbers.

But here the link is fishy! Instead of o2online.de which is their actual domain, the domain here is de-simverwalten.digital and the line braking just hides this. Clever little bastards! I wonder how they know when my cancellation date is...

So many of the new Windows laptops have MicroSD slots and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Full Size SD? I get it and I want it! Anyone with a large camera will probably want that. But who still uses MicroSD these days? Barely any phones have MicroSD slots anymore. What am I missing?

Also, vote on your preference

@Techaltar Try looking at brands that deliver what REAL customers ACTUALLY want i.e. Clevo

UnderEu,
@UnderEu@mas.to avatar

@Techaltar Talking me, for example: two years ago, I wanted a laptop computer with a big screen, fast CPU but not the fastest, I/O ports for all kinds of situations (new/legacy stuff), parts repairability+upgradability and able to install whatever OS I want.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220702130343/https://www.clevo.com.tw/clevo_prodetail.asp?id=1510&lang=en

Today, I could totally buy the very same machine with upgraded components and will probably be the case for as long as Clevo is alive.
