There’s a term in hardware design called Mean Time Before Failure or MTBF. Essentially it means that the more parts a system has in it, the quicker it will fail. I think the ever increasing complexity of software tends to follow the same pattern.

No shit.

This.

My wife has a 2016 Honda Odyssey, and having grown up working on cars because my dad was a mechanic, I was shocked to learn that there is no transmission fluid dip stick. It’s considered a closed system and never needs to have the fluid changed, allegedly.

No shit.

Stop posting Lunduke stuff. This dude sucks and has a long history of sucking.

Cybercuck.

Fuck. This. Noise.

Are we really doing this again?

I don’t want to be a contrairian, but your cellphone carrier does this non stop. Cloudflare is not a good company, but this is the least of your problems.

Virtue signaling 😁

Let me give you my perspective.

I’ve been an Nvidia user for almost my entire life (started with a Voodoo 2, then a Voodoo 3) but last year finally got fed up with the Nvidia driver insanity. I jumped ship and got a Radeon 6700XT. I powered down my PC, pulled my Nvidia 1060 Ti out and put the AMD card in.

I powered it on and it booted straight to the login screen. I then spent roughly 15 minutes trying to figure out how to install the Radeon drivers with no luck. Turns out, you don’t have to. They’re open source and work right out of the box. Jumped right into starfield and haven’t looked back since.

I’ll never buy another Nvidia card. Just my experience, but hope this helps.

Timely.

I miss being able to use bitmapped fonts back in the Gnome 1.x days.

Finally!

Decades late, but I’ll take it. Do Monsanto next.

Hahaha

I’ve owned this controller for years. Can confirm it sucks.

memories of Internet Explorer doing the same thing intensifies

Yes.
