The more somebody claims to be a "autority", or uses words like "facts", "the truth", "neutral", "unbiased", and other terms that suggest a scientific method to laypeople but are actually pseudo-scientific to those who understand the scientific method,

the more likely it is that they want to manipulate you, to accept their particular world view as absolute.

And this always happens in the name of fighting what is employed. Which works, because of course there are disinformation agents out there. It's just that, as seemingly always with stupid f*cking humans, they think they can fight it, ... *by doing it*. (Let's call it the revenge fallacy. IMHView the key indicator whether we're still in the cultural stone age.)

That's stoll a broken window fallacy too, though.

One machine may replace 20, frankly, shit jobs. But since it costs a 20th, 20 times the machines can he had and 29 times the stuff can be manufactured too.

This is why you can buy a 10-pair of socks for $4.99 instead of e.g $9.99 to $99.99, when a 10-pack cost $0.49 to make, with the rest being profit. Requiring theoretically a 20th of the work too, if there weren't so many profiteers in-between. (The number 20 of course being arbitrary, and based on your example only, in all above cases.)

Oh quit your fearmongering.
Assembly line machines and computers eliminated jobs too.
Shit jobs.

Jobs are not a good thing.
They are a scourge, because you are forced to do them and they are not fun.

All this does, is elimitate repetitive and stupid jobs.

The actual problem is not the work part, but the money part.
It's a broken window fallacy. Automation creates free wealth too. So there actually *is* such a thing as a free lunch. Bezos has one every day, only that his robots are still fleshy.)

The problem is that that wealth doesn't end up improving your life, even though those machines were bought with money, made off of your back.
You got robbed. You get robbed. That's why you are angry.

No, this is USB 3 2.1. Think movies: Toy Story 3, version 2.1 (say, second cut, first little correction).

Or in other words: They *can* also make good stuff. They just chose not to, and raise the prise based on their brand status.

Because somehow we humans got to a point, where not advancing humanity is the highest goal, but making an imaginary number grow bigger that other easily robbable fools believe in too.

Oh boy... you do not want to know how that is "solved"...

USB PD literally... and I mean literally ... re-implements the Enthernet protocol in an incompatible way, with all the bells and whistles. And expectss a chip in the *cable* to speak it!
It's batshit insanity on a WhatWG "living" inner platform level.

Electronics anorexia is a deadly mental illness.

And if forced onto others, in my eyes, a crime. (Planned obsolescence via forced flimsiness.)

Get a case with a plug on the USB connector.

You know, like the Blackview BV6000 had. Those things had no trouble with a whole day at the beach and snorkeling. (And every damn case screw and part had a rubber seal.)

It doesn't suddenly become high-voltage though. It's gradually more and more problematic.

At that many amps, even 12V is plenty of questionable design for such ridiculously flimsy and badly designed connectors.

I mean there is a reason actual power cables usually have a female side that's live, instead of two hermaphrodite sides with the live lines coming almost right up to the front.

I miss proper connectors that you could literally kick and have them still work fine. (Not having the device side soldered onto the main board, but flexibly attached is also a key part in reliability. I heard Thinkpads do that for the power connector.)

I'd prefer a picture of Satyr Nutella (*insert poop emoji*). :)

Please don't tell me you haven't even built a PC on your own...

If you haven't, then what the hell are you doing on a geek site?

I never gave MS a single cent in my life, never will, and literally have stopped talking to people who actively paid MS for Vista (falsely called "buying it". You only buy the license.) in the past.

Windows was finished a loong time ago.

About the time you last saw anything new that you considered an actual improvement.

And it will only allow you to save things that are also or exclusively in the "cloud".

Plus, don't forget demanding permanent bootloader lockdown.

Yes, an neither were those children "in pain", that were found in a Romanian children's home in the 90s, in a windowless basement with naked floors, crawling around on all fours, completely nude, making animal noises and eating out of dog bowls.

Because it turns out children consider anything normal that they are born into and grow into.

It's stilly a harmful horrifying thing that anyone would suffer under if he knew anything better.

You are such an abused child.
Try out "everything is a file" and "small tools that do one thing, and do right" ... or even just picking a better window manager ... or a good package manager ... or reporting a bug or applying your own patches and talking to the actual programmers like it is nothing out od the ordinary ... You will only look back in horror.

Same thing.

Windows 8 (NT 6.0) ist Just Vista point two (NT 6.2).
People like Windows 7, but to me it was always just Vista in sheepskin (NT 6.1). Just like Windows 10 is Windows 8 in leftover bits of sheepskin (NT 6.3).

So this "next generation" would actually be Windows NT 7.0, Or maybe it will just be NT 6.4...
It was a sad day when they killed semantic marketing version numbers, and an evem sadder day when they killed semantic internal version numbers, by going with rolling relases.
At least we will always know when MS considered NT to be well and truly "finished".

So I wonder what they will take away this time, to make us pay for bringing it back, in the version after. ;)
(Kidding. Haven't given MS a single cent in my life. Not even via pre-installed crap.)
