I’m not so paranoid, but at the same time, will it actually be useful? This sounds like a way to generate a mountain of data with minimal benefit. I don’t really trust AI at the moment to be able to help me with some vague recollection of work that was done 3 weeks ago, for example (I go through a lot of cases each month).

That’s just a you thing, the two I mentioned are earbuds.

I have earphones that are 15-20 years old (UE Triple-fi 10s and Yuin PK2s, the first wave of Chi-fi products), 2-3 year (or even 5) lifespan for audio products is insane.

ITT: People who just read the headlines and not the article, and then going off on their own Windows rant/Linux evangelism instead of discussing the article.

To you maybe. I don’t remember the URL search strings of every search engine, so the method of adding a search engine via the page of the search itself is far easier.

And most of the revenue in software comes from outside the Windows Store anyway. As someone else said, there’s no stopping a dev from putting in monetisation options in their software directly. I don’t get the need for an app store, especially when Linux has had the superior repo and package management system.

You think that’s bad, wait till you get into the Windows hate and Linux circlejerk.

Bleah, that Intel N CPU is going to ruin the experience.

This place really hates MS. Can’t believe some of the comments here.

Warframe’s been around a long time; I know in these parts there’s a certain purist view towards MTX, but Warframe does it well enough that I don’t mind paying for some of it and getting a lot of game in return.

I mean, if we’re going by anecdotes, on average, most gear will last 5 years more often than not. I still have my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that’s still working, just that it’s sorely obsolete on the software side. Another even more extreme example: I also have a Samsung i600 that’s also still working, and only recently has the battery started showing signs of bloating. That’s a 15+ year-old phone!

The several thousand laptops the charity I worked for (and still volunteer for sometimes) give out yearly also indicate that plenty of laptops will make it past the 5 year mark. Until last year we were still giving out 6th gen Intel laptops.

It’s called reviewing content to stay on topic.

Absolutely, I think one of the small perks that come with moving out of Reddit is being able to create your own communities as you see fit.

Sure, definitely use what works for you. I do like it as a phone messenger that happens to have a functional desktop client (Telegram and surprisingly, Whatsapp do have better desktop clients).

I don’t see the problem with that, it’s a phone messenger first.

What’s wrong with Signal?

That’s fine, that’s their choice. I get the feeling some here want to impose how things should be for others too.

Windows isn’t broken for me, and given their market share, many others. What’s an issue for you isn’t necessarily so for others.

A phone will be an appliance, and I’ll just do very basic stuff with it. Real computing will be done at the desktop anyway.

Just stick with Windows, it works for you (as it is for me); as the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
