I know, its just SO HARD to not buy your latest shiny. You just cant resist, so it must be someone elses fault.

Its always someone elses fault.

Only person that thinks reading the packaging is a mountain of effort, is the kind of lazy person who buys stupid home automation devices to avoid walking five feet to turn off a lightbulb.

Very simple.

Does the product say requires an internet connection? Does it say on the packaging that it requires an app to use? Do you get home and find out it needs those things despite the packaging not saying it?

Then don’t buy it/Return it.

Its not that hard to avoid falling into this pit. But I guess if you are too lazy to walk the five feet to turn your living room lights off, maybe you’re too lazy to actually read anything… and if you’re that lazy, then I dont give a fuck about how you get screwed.

Only people that dont want to blame the consumers for buying the shit… are the idiots that buy the shit, which is why they get so incensed when you argue that landfill shovel shit wont stop being sold until they stop buying it.

Stop buying shit, and companies will stop dumping billions into its R&D and advertising. They’re not doing that shit to waste money, They’re doing that to sell products… and if you stop buying it, they’ll stop making it.

if consumers acted in their best interest, none of this shit would exist.

if idiots stop buying this shit, they wont keep making it.

the problem is the idiots keep buying

how many times does logitech specifically, and these companies in general, have to do this before idiots stop buying this shit?

This is why we don’t need vaccines.

We just need gradual exposure to a lesser form of bullshit, so we can develop immunity to the greater whole of bullshit!

Discord is a great platform for bullshitting with your friends while playing games and shit.

but people are using it for things that its not, and wasnt ever meant to be.

Yep.

Discord is a black hole where information goes to die.

Its not indexable, its not searchable, If you are having a problem you will never find it via conventional means.

and the second the discord shuts down, all the information is gone forever.

Discord is not a tech support platform. it is not a information storage platform.

it is a communication platform.

and far, far to many organizations use it for tech support and information storage. To the detriment of everyone… even themselves.

Because people don’t want to have to join special services just to find out why their piece of software doesnt work.

you right. done.

the overwhelming bulk of the internet is made up of idiots, who seethe and hiss at anyone that has two functional neurons to produce a spark of intelligent thought with.

Nah, musks to much of a manly man to be bothered by it.

Adrian Dittman might lose his goddamn mind, however.

There were plenty of free forum hosts back in the day. (edit: just did a search and there are still free forum hosts)

But then social media came out, and everyone got addicted to the gamified dopamine mechanics like upvotes and shit. So now everything has to have upvotes, or likes, or whatever other stupid bullshit shit that has absolutely ruined human interaction and discourse and is single handedly to blame for the extremity in modern discourse, because the need to drive clicks and upvotes leads to extreme polarization where no common sense, honest discussion can be held.

because you either 100% agree with me (upvote) or you are a baby killing bastard who disagrees with me (downvote), and there can be no middle ground! /s

I dont know.

If I had my choice between a CPU that has a vulnerability that can only be exploited if the system is already compromised

or a CPU that are full of oxidation cancer, or frying themselves and doing irreparable damage… Which the company is being excessively shady about concretely admitting to any RMA promises and wwill all eventually die in short order…

I think I’m gonna go with the Ryzen and not leave leave my computer outside at defcon.

Lemmy should tell you the text of what was deleted and the mod who deleted it, cause there was nothing uncivil about what I said.

Removed by mod

barring that, unplug the ethernet.

Ah yes, the pirate bay, the first stop for anyone wanting to download a file thats probably a virus.

Also they have lost lawsuits in the past and had fines levied against them and had property seized, so they arent as immune as you think.
