A lot of times we’re talking about something that was actually designed in the 80s or 90s, maybe not even by a company that exists anymore or in the same country where it’s currently being produced.
Did we just forget the time the CEO of Haliburton became Vice President???
I wasn’t even following the World Cup, I was perfectly happy with my newsfeed not containing sportsball.
It sounds kinda like Tuxedo also wants to be Debian’s Fedora.
This is what irritating me the most about it. AFAIK the actual story is thus: Ref made a bad call, lots of people were upset about this call, FIFA began to review call, Trump heard about it and then made a call to the FIFA president, already in progress review concluded reversing call, life tried to move on, Trump made it about himself…
In the meantime Iran is still a thing, we’re still bombing people in the Caribbean, Cuba is still blockaded, Ukraine is still at war, and the list goes on and on and on and that’s it before we even get to the Epstein files and other shit.
That’s an Intel MacBook, no Asahi.
The most annoying part is the number of good mobile OSs we have already lost over the years to these two; Symbian, BB10, Windows Phone, and WebOS come to mind just off the top of my head. Not to mention the projects that have struggled for traction like Mozilla OS and Ubuntu Touch.
Edit: I misremembered, it was called Firefox OS, not Mozilla OS.
Yeah, that’s why I brought up DACs and Betas (and linked the SNES CD article), Sony has been trying for decades to own the current popular format itself. What’s been funny to me is they finally succeeded with Blu-ray and now it’s not even been 20 years and they’re ready to throw in the towel. Even betas were manufactured for nearly 50 years and they lost their format war. What was even more embarrassing to Sony is not just that Sony and Phillips had jointly created the CD standard, it’s that Sony had had to deal with Phillips after losing to Phillips on cassettes and then again on DACs (Phillips version being the DCC, which in the end also lost to CD). As well Phillips was readily working with JVC who had made VHS.
I am also not an expert in this area, however AFAIK being capable of being class action doesn’t make it class action. The Sandy Hook families sued Alex Jones and the number of plaintiffs didn’t make that class action either. As well, in Oklahoma right now there are 100s of similar cases against State Farm regarding hail damage payouts and despite intervention from the state AG these have not become a class action. From the information we do have at least one household invited at least one other household to join a lawsuit and they declined, beyond that we don’t know that there are even other plaintiffs to begin with.
Joining a lawsuit like that wouldn’t automatically make it class action.
They’re worried the sound drove down the price of their home, but they didn’t join the lawsuit… I’m officially confused.
Doing something that lowers the value of somebody’s house is usually a pretty slam dunk way for that person to be able to sue you. The article doesn’t mention if they have some sort of weird attachment to the house, but otherwise why wouldn’t you just wanna take the money and move somewhere else in the same town or otherwise? Especially if it’s already been four fucking years.
The PlayStation line exists entirely out of spite. Sony didn’t start it because they liked video games or even because they wanted to be part of the market. It exists entirely because Sony wanted to screw Nintendo over after being screwed over by Nintendo. When an entire product line exists for spite at a company like Sony, that has already taken people to task over betas and DACs, for instance, it’s never going to be something that is sustainable because now that they have ‘beaten’ Nintendo they don’t know what to do with the product line.
This is pretty much what’s happening to Xbox right now too, the only reason Xbox exists is because Bill Gates had a small obsession with getting Microsoft into the living room and since Xbox was a passion project and now nobody who had that passion works at Microsoft anymore they don’t know what to do with it and are just ringing it dry for money.
It loads for me but it does take some time. No, it’s about the 3-D screens they made for the PS3.
I have socks with grippy rubber on the inside heel that, very successfully, prevents this.
If it’s in the manual then it’s only unexpected if you didn’t read the manual before using the product. You are still stuck on this one device, I am still just talking about proper documentation of product features on any product by any company multi-billion or not. Specifically in response to the one person I replied to saying that Valve was getting special treatment. It really seems like you are trying to start an argument with me that has literally nothing to do with what I said.
I was kinda thinking about it from the other direction, like I’ve never had to deal with printers on Linux like I have on Windows and don’t remember ever needing to install hours worth of Service Packs on Linux with a fresh install. That being said, I’ve been using Linux since the Caldera days (late 90s) so I might be being one of the geologists in the XKCD cartoon right now too.
You literally just described all operating systems…
Okay… I was just commenting on my willingness to forgive a company for ‘unexpected’ operation if that operation is documented and they have provided said documentation. Not commenting on the speculations of the person who the person I replied to was replying to.
Even in 2015 I was doing more setup on Windows than Linux… honestly even in 2005 too.
Given that my 2004 Chrysler had the battery behind the front wheel I’m gonna go ahead and need you to caveat that.
