We joke about communism and the one toothbrush, but capitalists are literally doing the one computer

If this shit carries on you’ll have one car manufacturer, one shop, one energy supplier. I’ve ran out of steam there, but you get the point.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 26 points 3 days ago

one shop

They've mostly succeeded in doing that already with amazon.

Your pc is now just cloud. You no longer have pc. You rent in cloud. Now. No awful responsibility of owning! All just cloud. Yay. AI built in, do your think for you. This is good. Cloud. AI. Get now.

misread this image as "your penis" like 3 times... technically the truth

[-] content_educator_94@thelemmy.club 49 points 3 days ago

When y'all are so out of ideas your new idea is selling computing as a utility/service

Enshitiffication is too nice of a word, too fancy, too classy and eloquent of a word

This is just lazy horse shit

It's not even a process of making it shit slowly like a frog being cooked alive by gradually making the temperature hot

Now it's just the bottom falling out

The lack of any decent idea has become an accomplishment

Making things worse is progress now

Shareholders who don't even understand fuck all about functionality, security or contextual use awareness are now steering the collective ship of consumer technology into some kind of shit dimension

An asteroid belt of sheer bullshit, horse shit and God knows what other kinds of shit

The shit stank is monumental and I can't even plug my nose to try to ignore it anymore

I don't wanna become Amish but I also don't want to exist in a world with not only this kind of insulting cash grabbing technology whoding nonsense but so many other ridiculous unnecessarily wasteful ills and evils that it makes me head want to explode

I still can't believe they put ads on default Microsoft Minesweeper^TM^. And apparently that started 10 years ago

[-] agentant@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

Microsoft Adsweeper: When you hit a mine it buys $50 worth of random junk on Amazon

The one solace I have is that the people who are 100% in on this are also the people who were 100% in on the metaverse and that was always obvious to me that it was going to fail.

I do believe this is all going to fail. They've worked harder to propagandise me into uncertainty about that with the collective delusion they're trying to enforce but I still believe it will all fail.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

Im too lazy to find it but someone posted a cartoon from the 80s where that really horny Crumb guy drew a line of people queued up for the IBM Thinking Machine and it said "the future that's coming" and it was basically them doing this

[-] OptimusSubprime@hexbear.net 41 points 3 days ago

Why would you want windows running con arm? I guess it would be a highly optimized version without all the bloatware?

[-] ea6927d8@lemmy.ml 19 points 3 days ago

Highly optimised spyware.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 3 days ago

ARM is cool and fine. Things can be shitty on any architecture

arm has changed a lot since the cheap snapdragon days. they don't even make amd64 macbooks anymore

[-] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

they've been trying to make windows con arm a thing for 15 years now

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 30 points 3 days ago

When I was young and just getting into the internet and computer gaming I thought "wow like 20-30 years from now will be amazing", lol nope

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 35 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah Microshit and Nvidia, together, can come up with what could only be an absolute abomination of a plan.

Call this number to talk to your AI computer, no hardware needed. We all have computer now. One computer.

Probably going to announce at some big convention at the music center there.

[-] segfault11@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago

with the US military distracted by iran and cuba, china has a chance to do something cool

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

do-something
they never do or will. Things are going good for them. So they have zero reason to whip their dicks out and start rocking the boat.

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Nangang district has a high concentration of tech companies. it's also where the biggest convention center on the island is. Computex is happening next week.

Edit: though this is way down the road from the tech office area and the convention center, a completely different place. so ???

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Trusst the plan

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 30 points 3 days ago

Im just going to never upgrade my computer. Hardware OR o/s. I'm gonna have such old shit running that hackers and malware won't know what the fuck

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

This is why the game I'm making runs on Godot's "compatability" renderer. If you can't run at 60fps on a decade old business laptop you're not future proofed!

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

I only have laptops and mine is asking for a change but I want to buy somethinh that will last forever like supposedly Thinkpads do but those are hella expensive right now

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

Tbh i'd never invest in a laptop but i have no interest in having a Good Computer that's also mobile. PCs are for gaming and shit, my phone does all the carrying around the internet i need

but in the context of my needs the modularity of PCs means they effectively last forever if you're just replacing stuff that breaks, computer of theseus y'know. But maybe laptops have gotten easier to work on idk (doubtful though)

Look into Framework laptops if you haven't. Basically everything is replaceable/upgradeable, even the main board.

But yeah, if you're looking for a good inexpensive laptop, I would go with the T480 as another commenter suggested. They're a bit dated, but they're very repairable machine. Buy one with a good amount of RAM. Throw an SSD in it and install something like Linux Mint or Pop!_OS and you're good to go.

I'm already upset that M$ basically killed off every cool Surface to focus on the Copilot shit. What's fancy new hardware gonna do? Make it easier for them to spy on me while I use their mediocre, most-profitable computers?

[-] LittleFellaNamedBoof@hexbear.net 22 points 3 days ago

I can't wait to watch it out of morbid curiosity from my Debian machine. Don't use windows at all anymore so now it's kind of like watching those videos on youtube where people make stupid mistakes while driving and the dash cam catches it.
