That would be too far fetched in reality.

They should at least make it easy to buy a genuine battery over that lifespan. Nobody should have to browse eBay & AliExpress for a replacement component that could theoretically explode.

Manufacturers should also be forced to promote battery recycling practices & initiatives too. They are tossing endless amounts of them onto rubbish piles via planned obsolescence and yearly updates.

Yea that’s the problem isn’t it. I had a great idea involving bullshit-efying my comments by editing them slowly with a LLM via long running script and repeatedly over months.

I realised that they probably don’t delete the original text on edit anyway which, as you say is probably buried in a backup someplace.

Can’t quantify the feeling of having kids until you have one, but it’s very easy to articulate the perceived drawbacks of said unknown. They bring a life buff like nothing else, speaking a someone who regularly chases altered states of consciousness.

They provide a large opportunity for some enormous maturation, removal of bitterness/edgelord-iness and to not be so self-centred.

Your description of kids sounds like me beforehand. Have 2 happy accidents now.

Lie-ins are still possible if you are actually in a decent relationship by the way. To anybody reading, don’t have kids if you are in a bad one. No kid deserves to grow up around that.

Yep AEC is a Windows world. I was tasked with building Revit Addins to leverage within the Design Automation API. Had to run it in virtualbox which was a ball ache. Eventually moved to parsec to desktop stream instead.

Shame IFC won’t take off. It’s so limited but at least the files are editable in a text editor. CAD and RVT are a database wrapped inside a binary file which is a holy mess if you load them into a DB viewer.

Need the EU to step in to pull some things away from Autodesk for Linux to have a chance.

In reality, the inertia is too much and AEC professionals are too entrenched in Windows tools since they do the job just fine.

They are just being hyperbolic. Sir this is a Nintendos.

They should also be be required to use a dongle for every tool they use to survive with a limit of only 1 tool at a time

*waiting patiently for EU to catch on to this.

Google may not like the outcome…

Dunno if you’re taking the piss but they’re not that bad. Have an iPhone mini 13 I bought for €450 2nd hand with 100% battery health. Decent upgrade from an Xperia XZ1 compact. Needed a pocketable phone & the Asus Zenfone was too expensive.

Have to say, having the call audio levels, proximity sensor & speakers properly tuned to the hardware, software/security updates without having to run a non-official build of Lineage OS and AltStore-Linux for side-loading has been sweet.

Uses more power and it creates thermal strain on a single point-of-failure port if you want to both charge and listen to music with a poxy dongle.

All this “innovation” does is create more e-waste.

Nah. It should be called Blue-it, which they have

Oh yeah I didn’t even register that! Yea, that’s a pile of shite all right

Is it an Intel GPU? I’ve a Dell with an Intel hd620 that won’t do 4k60 over HDMI on Linux/Win/Mac(osx86).

Needs DisplayPort to reach 4K60hz.
