I can see the logic of being able to set certain items that you always want in stock, and your fridge being able to tell you if you’re running low or if it’s beyond its expiry.
Can smart fridges do that? I don’t think so.
Even if they can, it’s probably not worth the extra expense, complexity, data mining, security concerns, or the fact that Samsung or whoever can shut down functionality whenever they want.
I just want a basic fridge-freezer.
They’ve continually called for switching to renewables though, and put out a bunch of videos on how damaging climate change is and will continue to be…
They literally didn’t do that though…
Except you lied about who they are owned by.
Why make yourself out to be virtuous and caring about the truth when your entire premise is a lie?
I get the frustration, but it does actually cost money to make content, especially high effort content like this.
Add on top of that the fact that the people involved need to be able to eat, have a home, provide for their families, have a life.
People would complain if they were sponsored by some shitty VPN provider or the like, and also complain about them trying to sell merch. I certainly wouldn’t work for free, so I don’t see why they should have to.
It’s not really that hard to do a couple of key presses to skip ahead, either. It’s what I do.
They don’t say that, though?
They say things like “with effort, we can solve climate change, or minimise its effects.”
Which is very different. And personally, I hate over the top doomerism where everyone says everything is fucked beyond repair all the time.
A product like the Framework laptops is inevitably going to be more costly.
Not only do they not have the scale of Dell, HP, Apple, etc, but they also need to use modular components, factor upgradability into the design, etc.
Even for the DIY ones, someone has to hand assemble it fully, test it, then strip it down again. That’s additional cost and process complexity.
For a while, but only people that closely follow Linux news would know about it.
I didn’t say they have to like it, that would be silly.
I’m criticising them for making an incorrect statement, being corrected on it, then acting extremely proud of being ignorant of the facts, and committing to not informing themselves.
Imagine being this proud of ignorance. I can’t wrap my head around it.
GoG is also a Storefront for closed source software, genius. Do you think the software on GoG is open source? Lmao
Absolutely zero.
Coal cheap? Incorrect.
And it’s only easy if you’re fine burning brown coal and spewing shit everywhere.
He said it’s unfortunate that the US government doesn’t allow sex with children or animals.
The X1 Elite never lived up to its geekbench scores, and the drivers are absolute dogshit.
The X2 Elite wont match Apple or AMD in real world scenarios either, I’d wager.
Don’t forget about his views on sex with animals!
Unless he’s championing paedophilia and bestiality, which he has done on a number of occasions. Or being an absolute creep with women, which he’s also done.
Tesla were advertising long before then, just not in the traditional sense.
They let YouTubers and influencers borrow their cars, and gave them a commission on every car they helped sell.
They purposefully stirred up controversy to get news article clicks.
They had a very outspoken CEO making outlandish claims and cosplaying as the saviour of humanity, bringing lots of attention to Tesla.
They launched a Tesla into space.
That stuff doesn’t show up on Tesla’s books as marketing, but it absolutely is marketing.
Go Pro used influencers and content marketing by their customers, the Dollar Shave Club made it to fame through viral videos.
All of that is marketing.
Not surprised a user from a tankie instance is angry about a western country imposing rules on a domestic company for reasons of national security, but is completely fine with China allowing barely any western countries in their market at all and, when they are, enforcing that they must be run by Chinese and have a close relationship with the government.
It’s bad when the west takes an inch, but it’s good when China takes a mile.
