  • [iFixit] Worst in Show 2025: Not All Innovation Is Good Innovation | The Most Overengineered, Unrepairable, and Unsustainable Tech Disasters at CES

    Jump

  • I really love stuff like this.

    These are the kind of things rich people would fawn over and hold others over on about having the latest tech. But then it's like, you see this shit, you realize how better off you are without them.

  • Do you think increasing ADHD diagnosis are due to better detection or "tiktok"?

    Jump

  • Self-diagnosing in general is dumb. That's why Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, PTSD even and even Autism are seemingly record levels.

    It's discrediting actual sufferers and once again putting them under the rug. It pisses me off when I see bodycam videos, right away, the person arrested immediately starts going over a laundry list of mental issues that they have. All the while screaming, resisting arrest and shit.

    Then we got armchair psychologists and therapists on the internet who practice without a license (or knowledge) that actually "grants" people these issues after just sitting down and having a conversation with someone.

  • New USB logos will simplify branding on hubs and cables

    Jump

  • I'm waiting for the ones that'll just go zany and put "100GBps" or "100+ GBps!".

    Because you know they will do that too.

  • What do you think have we taken for granted before it was enshittified?

    Jump

  • It's simply novelty design and oh look, they've got you going to spend more money having to replace screen protectors.

    I cannot imagine what it'd be like the day those models start lagging and chugging because of planned obsolescence.

  • Dollar Tree is also great for getting things that are absurdly marked up in price everywhere else. Like Scissors, office supplies, some toiletries and even great for getting things you do intend to dispose of because you don't want to ruin the better quality version of that item.

    Getting food from Dollar Tree is more misses than hits. Yeah you'll see frozen vegetables but almost no frozen fruits. Tons and tons of freaking junk food like chips, energy drinks, soda, candy and other junk. But I still don't knock them because some of the food available at all, are good to make dinner meals out of to stretch rations with.

    Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says tech leaders are 'pretending to be Republicans' to gain favor with Trump, skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors'

    Jump

  • I'm not buying it.

    They still ripped off consumers and crushed competitors even when Trump wasn't president and even when Republicans didn't have control of the Senate/House. Fucking bullshit of top-tier level.

  • What do you think have we taken for granted before it was enshittified?

    Jump

  • Because they like the idea of doing that and still feeling like they own their computer in every way possible.

    It's pretty sad that the best windows experience now, is just breaking it down to pieces and custom installing.

  • They want instant gratification, more like. Suckered into the whole "finding the perfect one" and thinking a dating app will help. Some dating apps fucking charge you to read inbox messages, the nerve.

    Jump

  • Yeah it's just starting to look like where no matter what search engine you use almost, they just spit out garbage results. And they try way too hard in being the swiss-army knife of everything.

    In your opinion, what's the ideal work schedule (workweek)?

    Jump

  • I have a 10-8-8-10 work week. 4 days on. 3 days off. I love it. And it's in a retail environment too which is like a holy grail sometimes.

  • What are some of the most unhinged (good or bad) password requirements/rules you've seen?

    Jump

  • Any service that says I must have a 12 or 14 string password, combined with symbols, numbers and letters.

    Do you know why, I have to keep resetting my password, services that have this dumb requirement? Because your fucking requirements are absurd and unnecessary. I don't have the mental capacity to care to remember that long of a password. I have to have a document now of all of the passwords I have so it's not forgotten. I have to have browsers autofill for me because of this shit.

    In a perfect world, 6 - 8 string passwords would suffice and lots of emphasis on symbols and numbers at the very least. The longer you try making the characters of a password, the chances of forgetting increases.

    Flickr does this. Some of the portals to my apartment portal does this. Portals to some of my medical information does this. It's fucking bullshit. StateFarm does this too.

  • What day do you dislike?

    Jump

  • Sunday.

    Everything closes early and some things are just outright unavailable for that one day. Need to get things done during the weekend? It better be all on Saturday because Sunday doesn't give a fuck about what you need to deal with.

    What are your thoughts on people who didn't vote?

    Jump

  • I'm largely disappointed in them. The one time they were needed the most, they didn't care to show up. Like, you do not have to be knee deep in politics to understand what's at stake and who's running. Take a good solid 30 minutes out of your life, to research and study the candidates, the issues and think of the future of the country's direction if either candidate and their party got voted in.

    If they'd do just that, they'd probably have a better understanding. But they didn't do that. They thought the 2024 election was in the bag and feel they didn't need to do their part. Well, the results speak for themselves.

    And nothing much more needs to be said or done, they've sentenced themselves to the mess that's to happen a week and a half from now. Just as much as all of the brainwashed and braindead conservatives who actively voted for fascism.

  • Same goes for the Fediverse. Can't go on a single political instance anymore without many people just having to bring up the asshole's existence.

  • Why are we expected to keep up with the news on a daily basis?

    Jump

  • I would rather keep up on the news that I think matters to me than the news in general. People seem to just love reporting the exact same things. I used to have frequented r/news to note this.

    Lots of news about dead people, dead children .etc that sparks a lot of age-old debates.

    Occasionally some celebrity dies, some small, some big.

    Political follow-ups that ultimately just lead to arguments.

    I tend to also like getting news a little after the fact. It helps the digesting and processing in a sense.

    How much amount of porn it's "too much porn" for a person?

    Jump

  • When you're too focused on staring at people's assets in public or anywhere. As a struggling porn addict, I have a bad habit where I am gazing or catching glimpses of asses and chest areas of women around public and at work.

    When you're doing that - then it's too much.

  • Dana White, John Elkann and Charlie Songhurst to Join Meta Board of Directors | Meta

    Jump

  • Okay, lol. I don't think they're there to help FB, Instagram or WhatsApp but to get on Zuck's payroll. Whatever.
