  • Samsung’s smart fridges mistakenly warned users its free TV service was ending

  • Not so much "optimistic" as "the way it used to be"

    I've got a fridge that's nearly 30 years old that we've never had to fix anything on (other than the ice maker). I thought it died about a week ago, turns out I just accidentally turned it off (issue with the coldness dial) and it's colder than ever right now.

    I've also got a 6 or 8 year old fridge that I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it needs replacing before the old one.

  • Yeah, my problem though is that I think about actual profitability when I try that while they're playing a game of shells moving and manipulating quarterly profits to make a company look profitable so they can cut and run while the the company burns behind them

    Then there's whatever the fuck companies like Microsoft and Apple and googie are doing that seem like horrible ideas to me that nobody seems to like and yet it never seems to hurt their bottom line enough to stop.

    At this point I honestly think the only reason those three are still profitable is they've cornered their area of the market and there's just nobody for their customers to move to in adequate numbers to make a difference

    But, I'm pretty jaded at this point... Maybe you're right and the googe will leave that workaround. At this point it won't matter to me because I don't use their search anymore and don't think I ever will again, and I certainly don't trust any new tech coming from them to not be dragged out back and shot the second I start to rely on it, so I just don't bother anymore

  • I've given up trying to understand what benefit companies like googie get from most of the shitty consumer-hostile decisions they make. You'll have to ask them when they inevitably shut that down what they get from doing that.

  • You're giving them a lot more credit than is probably warranted. They've killed off so many popular things and workarounds that really cost them nothing to leave available for the tech savvy they've very much shut down to force people to use the systems they want to push.

    googie hasn't been tech savvy friendly for a while now

  • And that's the point, they came in shitting on the thing the group was there for

    I'd still not ask that there, because people there are going to be more focused on the thing you don't want to use. A more generalist group would be a better place to ask that, as even the second way asked in a Gimp group is going to mainly attract people who want to defend their favored project or help you fix the issue with it, when that's not what you're after.

  • I mean, you can expect it, but you'll be disappointed for obvious reasons

    Walking into a fan group and shitting on the thing they're fans of while asking for recommendations for alternatives is pretty much never going to result in a positive outcome

  • I found I could get Krita to work well with my Wacom tablet easily while Gimp was a mess for it and I never did figure that out... So I used Krita when I needed to draw, but for most everything else I found Gimp easier to get things done

  • I don't know how accurate this is or if it's still true but I remember hearing like twenty years ago that Germany has laws like that, including dealing with waste packaging, with the result that companies suddenly found ways to use more sustainable packaging

  • Use a kernel version that still has support to perform the copy before upgrading? If already upgraded, boot to the old kernel? Boot from a live iso that has support?

    I mean, this isn't exactly a hard problem to solve...

  • Okay, no. As much of an issue as I have with musk and the way he bullrushes into these things, this really was the right response at this point.

    It's a new tech. That goes into someone's brain. You do not just go rutting around up there if the first attempt failed, and further tests (which have a significant element of risk) shouldn't be in the brain that's already been through this, not until it's much better tuned.

    Brain surgery isn't a minor procedure.

    If they're able to fix it for him, there's a fair chance they will, I'd imagine.

    But continuing to dig around after that failure is what treating him like a disposable Guinea pig would look like because that's how they'd very likely kill him or substantially diminish his quality of life with brain damage.

    There are lots of real reasons to hate musk. This isn't one of them.

  • I always just kind of glazed over looking at that and just know "it's a fork bomb" and basically what it does

    With your explanation, I can now actually understand all the parts and how they work, it actually makes sense
