  • Hell no. Fuck that shit

    We had like 500 form factors for phones, now it’s standardized

    Resistive touch screens? Ewww

    Like a billion mp3/MP4/ipod clones? Just to listen to music? A thing which now we can do easily on our phones?

    Slow ass ssd/nand memory chips?

    Freaking 1 core processors on phones, PCs and laptops?

    Seriously someone misses their devices behaving like slowpokes?

    Wireless audio devices that worked like shit unless they were extremely high end? Oh yeah wired worked great, but we were flooded with a ton of clones of those too. So no great quality from those “Skeleton Sweet” or “earpods”.

    Batteries that were in dire need of charge at least thrice a day?

    Wireless routers that with any luck had gains that allowed to step out of the room?

    Car wise, no stability control? You seriously fucking with stability control? That shit avoids like 25% of all car accidents globally

    Medical wise, CRISPR? gene therapy for muscular dystrophy? Vaccines that can be whipped out in months?

    Innovation slowing down? In what planet do you fuckers live on?

    I’d say more but I think you get my point



  • Literally

    My desktop/laptop experience for both is as follows:

    Windows update, at least since the inception of the concept has never required me to go to a browser (unless you count w98 “everything is a website” concept for the desktop or the far in between instances were a PC was offline/having issues and you need to download update packages)

    It also updated windows applications (ie office) but yeah it never intended to upgrade other stuff, all other software had their own auto update check

    I’ll concede the restart because yeah it does all for that

    But yeah Linux install is not without issues, and I’ll just remind everyone of how difficult it was/is to install a component driver when it’s not automatically found (wifi cards, disk controllers, and Realtek drivers anyone?)

    Yeah it does update your apps, as long as you have the repos, and restart wise I distinctively remember that you do need to do restarts after updates, be it major distro or not.

    Simple commands? I’ll concede that, as long as we remember the average Linux user is used to a less user friendly experience. Complain ask you want but for the average user, windows update experience works

    Thankfully I don’t need to deal with all that stuff now
