They don't. LG TVs have an absolutely trash interface. I have a 43UT8000 and it is the laggiest fucking thing ever made. I even have it set to never sleep for efficiency and it still occasionally tells me to wait while it gets its shit together before I'm allowed to change inputs.

Comment Re: Credit scores are not what you think they are (Score 1) 101

I *was* in the high 700s, I had a 790. I got there by just getting one card and keeping it paid off.

Then I got some more loans and paid them off and now my score is *lower*

You keep telling me things about how you think it work which are obviously incorrect and then you want to tell me more things and expect me to believe them. That's literally insane.

What's surprised me in the processor market is AMD making inroads in the laptop space that Intel owned for decades

AMD has superior power management in their chip, in terms of being able to shut down functional units when not in use, so now that they are on the same or superior process technology they have an efficiency edge over Intel. Intel was only ahead of AMD in mobile because they had superior process tech. That is now over and there are no signs it's coming back (Intel having failed at getting acceptable yields with two process shrinks in a row now) so AMD has the clear edge for the time being.

immel got drummed off the air for lying on air saying that the shooter was a conservative MAGA supporter..."one of their own", long after official statements and evidence have plainly stated the opposite.

What official statements, as if those were relevant? What evidence?

Comment Re:America's food security depends on immigrant la (Score 1) 79

If there are no immigrants working for slave-like wages, food companies will have to do a couple of things. (1) Innovate with technology to rely on less labor. This is called a productivity gain.

All of the low-hanging fruit has been picked there, pun intended. Crops which are easy to machine cultivate are already produced with machine cultivation.

And (2) start paying people a decent/humane wage, and this will attract more workers to this line of work.

The first thing can't happen or they would have done it already, and the second thing is the opposite of their mission.

Comment Re:And (Score 3, Informative) 113

It's "so complicated" because with almost any other laptop manufacturer you can add RAM after the fact, and not have to upgrade everything else in the system that you don't need upgraded just to get more RAM.

The people who upgrade ram in their laptops are probably like 1% of the total market. Most are bought by corps or individuals who treat them as an appliance.
