Okay, I get the idea of smart AC for example - be elsewhere, turn it on remotely so that it’s comfortable when you get home. Fine. But a toilet? You are physically present there, you can push a button to flush. Or are you telling me that you’re shitting remotely now too?

Fair point, but good luck convincing them about it.

I’m not saying “don’t make progress”, I’m saying “try to make progress across the board”.

IMO another example of pushing numbers ahead of what’s actually needed, and benefitting manufacturers way more than the end user. Get this for bragging rights? Sure, you do you. Some server/enterprise niche use case? Maybe. But I’m sure that for 90% of people, including even those with a bit more demanding storage requirements, a PCIe 4 NVMe drive is still plenty in terms of throughput. At the same time SSD prices have been hovering around the same point for the past 3-4-5 years, and there hasn’t been significant development in capacity - 8 TB models are still rare and disproportionately expensive, almost exotic. I personally would be much more excited to see a cool, efficient and reasonably priced 8/16 TB PCIe 4 drive than a pointlessly fast 1/2/4 TB PCIe 5.

Assuming you meant GB/s, not TB/s, I think it’s for the sake of convenience when doing comparisons - there are still SATA SSDs around and in terms of sequential reads and writes those top out at what the interface allows, i.e. 500-550 MB/s.

Somewhat agree, but since Scrum is supposed to be bent to the team’s needs, it might differ from team to team, but it’s fine as long as those numbers are consistently used in one team.

If story points are now hours, I hope you’re fine with me putting a 40 on that ticket.

Windows Mail was IMO perfect for simple mail at home. Now they replaced it with Outlook with slightly updated UI but also with ads.

Guess what - I started looking for alternatives. So far Wino Mail seems pretty good - someone else on here recommended it.

Technically correct if you die… with the caveat that you won’t be able to do much else.

I’d argue that deploying from one codebase to 3+ different platforms is new functionality, although not for the end user per se.

I wish though that more of the web apps would come as no batteries included (by default or at least as a selectable option), i.e. use whatever webview is available on the system instead of shipping another one regardless of if you want it or not.

Laugh tracks have a purpose though. I understand they’re not to everyone’s liking - and that’s fine, but they work for some comedy shows - and usually they’re from the live audience that sees things performed in front of them.

As if someone’s telling a joke and saying “This is where you should laugh”

… and yet some of the same people will readily copy-paste random shell scripts into their terminal without fully understanding them.

Ubuntu is the new Comic Sans, right

As if default keywords are the biggest deal-breaker.

Can someone explain how something as generic as a keyboard can be a subject to patents?

There are no bugs, it’s just not doing what you expect it to be doing…

… which, now that I think of it, can be said about all software in general.

You have a point unfortunately.

Implying the orange fella has any say in programming language design and general tech conventions

One of the few positives of today’s designs is the better screen-to-body ratios that we have. This would mean that we can have a 5" screen in the same physical body size that previously used to house a 4 point something inch screen. But for some reason the latest flagship small phones are from a few years ago - I guess sales figures show they’re not sought after.
