So I have to read forums threads with 300+ messages in order to maybe improve the battery life. Yeah, thanks, but no thanks. I'll just buy a macbook. 2-3 hours battery lifetime in 2023 is a sad sad joke. I'm sorry, but if this is

Those links only serve my point. Macbook destroys framework in terms of battery life and dominates in performance benchmarks. Oddly, also in games. Though I wouldn't play Shadow of Tomb Raider on either of them. Also, it has better bui

I strongly suspect the reason he can work so much is that he only works on things he finds interesting and doesn't have to answer to anybody. He doesn't have to take calls and random meetings in the middle of the day. He doesn&#x2

People are so in love with the guy they never mention this part.... Maybe because they dream of being in his position? Most people doing what he did would get so fired so quickly... yet when everbody's favorie guy does it...

Never used cable to transfer anything from a phone. Just for charging. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Does it also have the same build quality, performance, battery life and price? Do you also sell tens of millions of them per year? There's been enough HN threads where people bought framework laptops only to ditch them a few weeks afte

Ferrari has a list of rules you must follow in order to purchase their cars. If you violate the rules they will try to take back your car and anyway you will be banned for life from purchasing another of their cars. For example they only al

No one is preventing you from using it. Let me put it the other way: why should people work to support your old device? You are causing discomfort for others by forcing devs to pollute their codebase with code to support your obsolete techn

Most people don't run 14+ year-old laptops. The market share of those people is too small to care about. You are just lucky somebody still writes drivers for your outdated tech. I wouldn't use a laptop older than 5 years if you pa

Between android and ios you have choice between $50 and over $2k of phone prices. You have quite a big choice in terms of smartphone prices/capabilities. One of iOS key features is it's walled garden. If you don't want that d

These are just gen1 issues. I expect it will become lighter and lighter until it will probably be like some heavier/bulkier glasses. For the common user it will be amazing for cooking (tells you what to take next and from where and mix

Is this supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?

I was saying that people who have macbooks and can't adapt to macos are in the minority. Not that laptops sells the most laptops in the world

Most people would like to have a macbook. That they can't afford it is a different point. Most people who get a macbook can adapt to macos. Those who can't are the minority. I never said that macbooks are number one selling laptop

It is absolutely possible and it's exactly what will happen. Back in my day parents and grandpas were horrified with these things called video games which sucked the lives out of their kids. And how repetitive and mind numbing it all w

I have. Those kids will grow up just fine. It's all in your head. Those kids will grow up to invent/innovate on levels you can't even imagine today. Like it has always been. Might as well just stop complaining about the &quot

Wrong, wrong and wrong again. This looks absolutely great I hope they make a kid size version so everyone can wear one. Anytime a grandpa complains that 'kids these days are fucked' they are demonstrated time and time again that t

Am I the only one who isn't that impressed with the codebase quality? They are not even respecting the same coding convention in the same file for Christ! It just looks so hacky and something from the early 2000s era when it comes to e

Because that is what people want. Apple tried repeatedly to sell the iphone mini. The people that said they would totally buy it actually didn't.

I have yet to meet a software engineer who is highly competent and also suggests rewriting a working application in Rust at the 11th hour. In fact the people you are talking about are mostly juniors who read something in an article on a ran

No. It's not a drag on work quality. Quite the opposite. The fact that people look down upon this kind of passion is exactly what I am talking about when saying that the quality of software is declining. People who view it as "jus

It was doing just fine before people with the "just a job" attitude showed up. Definitely not failing.

by the_overseer 3y ago
Agreed with the culling part. I write code for the job and also after hours as my hobby. I wait for the weekend to work on harder/more experimental stuff. I remember the days when I was surrounded by people like me. These days all I he

Have you actually played the game or just trolling? This game is impressive today. In 2003 it wouldn't have been possible.

So you wouldn't take a $1 pay cut per year so that a person might have enough to take care of his family? Is this who you really are? $1 that could save someone from starving and you wouldn't give it? It says a lot about you to ma

You know what would make even more money for the owners? People having less rights. Say, working people for 12 hours a day and throw them out when they are no longer as productive as some arbitrary set goal. So you would have no issue with

No. It's not "very different". You're just trying to be contrarian. 3 series and M3 has 90% the same infotainment. But 5 series and M5 competition is being developed by a completely different company. Even if they are 95

It's not pointless work. It's actually very profitable work. Low quality or not.
