And this is the amazing fact that needs more study. AMD's been the easy choice for years. Why so slow to adopt?
* Consumer/Partner Inertia?
* Ability to produce to meet demand?
* Support?
* Compatibility?
Once had an IT person tell me they couldn't move to ryzen laptops because the way the system presented its network interfaces was incompatible with their management software. My charitable interpretation is that there's enough programs like this that prevent AMD adoption, while simultaneously AMD never seems to be in a rush to fix firmware or software problems.
Inertia, layman brand perception, anticompetitive behavior (Intel has been in court for 15+ years about this).
An example in the laptop space, Intel invested a lot in the marketing and designs of the Ultrabook classification. So customers ask for an Ultrabook from Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc. and those are only available with Intel CPUs. It’s taken several years for AMD mobile CPUs to work their way into high end designs.
As an alternative to electron, using bun as a base sounds nice. But being better than electron is a low bar when it's the source of the laziest, most bloated programs on my system.
Also, still waiting for bun to work on freebsd. Patiently! But it's on my xmas wishlist :)
Relative to when Microsoft intentionally sabotages user experience, sure, but that's a low bar. I'll agree with you more whenever macOS allows me to open more than 1 calculator window at a time, cut files, stop hijacking bluetooth when the lid is closed, and other productivity killing nuisances that make me question if they ever do user studies.
Right there with you.
Had a lovely oneplus 5 that lived for years. Replaced its battery, wanted to keep it going forever because Android gets worse with every release so older is better.
But then AT&T altered the deal. Had firmware that could do VoLTE, but AT&T doesnt care.
Well I've got an xperia now that is on their whitelist and I'm doing the same strategy again but hey, if only we had an actually useful FCC and FTC to police anti-consumer, monopolistic actions. Too bad we elected for the exact opposite a week ago.
I was surprised to see Trump not entertain much war during his last term but I don't agree. Both parties equally entertain war and I fear any Republican anti-war this time will be pro-Russia and further destabilize the world.
> Working class party
I think the voters see it that way and it's a real win for Republicans since they're the opposite and get away with it for who knows what reason
> Pro free speech
I've absolutely no idea how you came to this conclusion
> Skeptical of large corps
I'd love for that to be true but I bet they'll be just fine with any large corp that helps them remain in control.
And yes, the entire topic of religion has not only remained the same but perhaps gotten worse.
> Both parties equally entertain war and I fear any Republican anti-war this time will be pro-Russia and further destabilize the world.
Trump is emphatically anti-war and he's dragging the Republican party kicking and screaming to that position. Just look at his relatively low-war presidency and his rhetoric on war throughout the years.
> I've absolutely no idea how you came to this conclusion
Free speech? The Dems are calling left and right for censorship. The only person that has stopped it is Elon Musk, now a vital facet of the Trump coalition. I have no idea how you can make the case the Dems are the free speech party.
> I'd love for that to be true but I bet they'll be just fine with any large corp that helps them remain in control.
Again, this is something that the MAGA types are dragging the Republicans kicking and screaming. MAGA abhors big pharma, whereas Dems trust it. Was the opposite in 2008 or even 2012.
We like to discuss Trump so much, but a lot of this shift is actually the Dems moving their positions too.
> trump is so anti-war he increased troop presence in the middle east
Gonna need a citation for that one.
> while biden pulled out of afghanistan
That's ridiculous. By the time Biden came into office, the pull-out had been long decided. If anything, Biden inherited a messy situation because Trump had rushed the exit too much.
I guess you've not been paying attention to MAGA types who equally as much want censorship and who are for any person, corporation, or government who will help them to further their goals on that front. I would love for "MAGA" to come to represent the genuinely good things that Trump said on the campaign trail for 2016, and none of the bad things are associated with the those who claim to be part of "MAGA", but fool me twice shame on me.
I'd love this to be true but there's no reason and plenty to the contrary for me not to believe anything said by people associated with Trump. Time will tell but I expect the opposite.
Rather than suggest customers and drivers, and their friends think reading a manual for basic operation should be done as you suggest, I propose it's more likely that one of the following is true:
* The owners silently put up with inconveniences. I don't know why the majority of people browse the web without adblockers but if they can put up with that, they can put up with bad car UX
* Sunk cost fallacy
* Fanboys, which very much will put in more effort to make something work than your average person would
* Consumer/Partner Inertia?
* Ability to produce to meet demand?
* Support?
* Compatibility?
