I think this was done with good intent but could have been handled better. But you can't satisfy anyone these days. All that happens is a YT celebrity does a hit job on Apple and everyone dogpiles on.
Just yesterday I was speaking to someone who was getting fed up of her iPhone 14. She said she'd had it less than a year and it'd been terrible, charged really slowly andw ent slow and she was "going to buy a fucking samsung next time". She let me have a look at it. It was in low power mode and she was using a poundland 5W charger on a chewed up piece of shit cable. Charged it up of my PD powerbank and got her to order an Anker PD charger and a good cable on Amazon and explained what power save mode is.
That's the average user. And when they go looking for solutions they find idiots on YouTube with whole channels devoted to shitting on particular vendors because it's divisive, they get clicks and make money.
On top of this, the woman spends a fortune servicing her Mercedes but will only spend £1 each on a replacement charger and cable. What do you think will happen when her battery craps out?
If Apple tell people that their battery needs replacing some fucker will fire up a video with APPLE GOUGING PEOPLE FOR NEW BATTERIES. Fuck, it's disposable, it's maintenance no different to your car. Take it to the garage and get it swapped out.
That’s literally what they have done. My iPhone 15 tells me the battery install date, the cycle count, the remaining life estimate and what performance profile it is using which can be overridden.
I dunno their mice are ok. I've got a G203 on the PC and an MX Master 3 on the mac and they are both excellent. The G203 is the best mouse I've used since the MS optical mice.
Only downside is you have to turn all the RGB lights crap off on the G203.
Personally I would like it and the ecosystem to just cease to exist overnight. Nothing on earth has caused so much pain, misery, suffering and agony, apart from possibly PHP.
Our devops guys scream from the seething pain whenever the have to debug some pile of shit that decides it won't build unless all the runes are aligned precisely and all the RAM in the universe is available on the build runners. And pushing this to the developers results in importing more packages thus adding to the burning tyre fire.
And after several hours of builds and 9000 layers of packages you wake up one morning and in that 50 meg chunk of javascript that is excreted from the process, someone managed to inject a "Slava Ukraini!" banner into your web app.
Over-reliance on third party dependencies is a choice. One could argue that it's unreasonable not to do it if you want to stay competitive but good luck changing human nature then. If there are shortcuts, they will be taken.
While this is true, when the shipped standard library by NodeJS lacks so many VERY BASIC features that every other language has, OF COURSE developers choosing/being instructed to use JS so that frontend and backend languages are synced are going to reach for packages to solve whatever functionality should already exist in code like: "Jim".leftPad(4)
ain’t it crazy? I’ll be the first to admit i don’t get furry stuff, but i also don’t get just about a universe of other stuff people are seemingly very much into, and neither do i expect everyone to understand why i willingly risk my life skydiving just because it gives me joy. this is cyberspace for gods sake, have some self respect and stop being dicks to others to virtue signal, that’s just downright mean man
According to OECD Health at a Glance 2023, Iceland is the highest per-capita consumer of tranquilizers. YMMV.
I did go there last year and I'm not sure I'd want to live there. Nice place to visit though and mostly nice people (apart from the large Ford truck driving psychopaths)
