  • Are PC Hardware Companies Slowly Driving Technology into Restricted Closed Ecosystems?

  • I can say I'll never buy another lenovo product again.

    My laptop is, of course, broken at both hinges due to ridiculously thin and cheap plastic.

    This is inexcusable and only exists to make a few rich people a bit richer.

  • I love my kid-gamer self.

    I was really bad at games, but I would always chalk it up to "I'm just a kid and it's okay to be bad."

  • 80s/90s kids remember being able to throw their controllers at the TV without fear.

    Fuck, I never would think to throw my controller at the screen!

    I also don't ever throw my controllers in general. Why would I want to break them? Lol.

  • Yeah. I think products like that are designed for people who pay others to move it for them.

  • Brick phones will ring in an unlikely revival

  • Might just be me, but I see smartphones as one of the most powerful devices on the planet.

    It's in the way that you use it.

  • Have we bred self-control out of the populace or something?

  • Youtube needs to die.

    Peertube is the future.

  • Google to court: we’ll change our Apple deal, but please let us keep Chrome

    Jump

  • Chrome's ubiquity is bad for browsers.

    I'm glad I switched back to Firefox after learning that Google removed AdNauseam from their addon store. It's an app that clicks ads in addition to blocking them. It wasn't breaking any rules, but google removed it and since there wasn't sufficient backlash it was never restored.

    That kind of scummy behavior should never be rewarded with continued patronage.

  • Holding back China's chipmaking progress is a fool’s errand, says U.S. Commerce Secretary | Tom's Hardware

    Jump

  • Seriously might be more advantageous to China (and the world) to infiltrate TSMC so they don't have to re-invent the wheel.

    If China had access to TSMC's secrets, TSMC would need to compete even harder which would result in better products and lower prices for everyone!

  • Good! Holy fucking shit is insane at the amount of predatory crap in software these days!

    It's literally become a fucking science on how to manipulate people by wearing them the fuck down with pop-ups, sign-ups, notifications, and "related" content. Anything besides giving the user the opportunity to do what they fucking want to do in the first place.

    Honestly, Lemmy is a breath of fresh air. It's also insane how straightforward and easy it is to use, especially considering the reputation the fediverse has for being "complicated."

  • Should be illegal to put ads in something as crucial to day-to-day life as a banking app.

    If it's not illegal, then everyone is going to do it and we won't have the "choice" that crapitalists love to tout so much.

  • because it’s hard to infiltrate telecom systems like S7

    cough You can pay a few grand and get access to SS7 networks.

    Might be out of reach for most of us, but we can rest assured that any and all security firms and goverrnment agencies have access to this information at a moment's notice.

  • $800... for an emotional support toy?

    Is this why there's so much poverty in the world? Because once people have enough excess wealth, this is what they choose to spend it on instead of helping those who need it more?

    What? You're fitting right in with my expectations.
