Comment iFixig going back to the mothership (Score 2) 99

Finally claimed ifixit upon recognizing them as one of their own due to the prefixed "i" in the name.

I'll stick to my $600 Beyerdynamic headphones for the next 30-40 years. They just have 2 simple drivers, 3 pieces of wire, 4 screws and nothing soldered. In the 3 years since I got them I already replaced circa half of what's inside, things I'd previously broken through my own mishandling, with drops, spills, pet accidents, etc; all with official parts and all practically fool-proof, through self-service. The funny part is that the total cost of all the components summed up is actually the total cost of the headphones, and each component in part is cheaper than what other manufacturers put in their devices (minus the drivers themselves, but pay 3x the price for 3x the sound).

Now THAT's a feat of engineering, not this bullshit from TFA.

Oh, and most professionals, people making actual music, besides hip-hop, record, master and produce with these.

Hey, if you think this, then by all means, go and replace Notepad++ with Microsoft Word. In this way Microsoft will be the ones talking directly to the politicians and your software stays clean of politics.

> ignoring the quality of the new update

Just to remind you - the last time they had an update it took them 6 months to deploy it (almost one month ago there was, with much fanfare, the announcement that 1809 has reached "wide adoption").

"1903", as in "the month of May", as in "21-May-2019", which is "end of May 2019", aka "06-2019", "1906".

It will well be months of news of fuckups - technical, legislative, social brought by this new upgrade. Months of juicy Schadenfreude here on Slashdot, and Microsoft deserves it all, once and even ten times over.
