The company that under-promises won’t win the bid, though. Unfortunately the norm now is to overpromise, and then squeeze as many extra fees and concessions out of the project as possible.
There’s also a culture of contractors vs engineers where limits willingness to work together to find solutions. “not my fault”.
Nearly identical story here, and I agree.
Habits and hardware are definitely the big ones to overcome. I still remember how absolutely lost I felt the first couple times I tried installing slackware in the 90s. I could install/set up windows in my sleep. But then slackware dropped to an unfamiliar command prompt, I can’t dir, there isn’t even a C drive, and now I’m expected to configure something called xfree86. Luckily I wasn’t told to use vi or I’d be stuck there to this day.
New users aren’t thrown into the deep end quite like that anymore, but it’s still a big change for a windows power user. So much of what you learned is not applicable or just the wrong way to do things. Mac users and Windows non-power-users seem to have a much easier time accepting the changes.
It’s definitely not for everyone (is any OS?) but it’s been ‘ready’ as a desktop OS for me since Mandrake 8 in ~2001. That’s about when I ditched windows 2000 and haven’t looked back.
For what it’s worth, I’ve found that windows and mac forums have similar issues if you approach them as an outsider.
I feel similar frustration when faced with trying to accomplish things on those OSes. Mac forums in particular are terrible about “you shouldn’t want to do that”.
It doesn’t solve your problem, just wanted to share that I’ve experienced it from the other side.
As a gentoo user, I’m always confused when people think gentoo is about multi-day compiles. Rebuilding the whole system takes a few hours (not that I ever need to do that), and binary packages are available for the big stuff if you want it. It’s basically just arch with more configuration options.
Not insisting you or anyone should run it, but it’s not as ridiculous as people seem to think.
You can if you add to playlist from the search screen.
I keep expecting them to break that workaround, but it keeps working for me
My car does this automatically. If you floor it, the vents start blowing hot air.
It does make me wonder how much it really helps.
Not important, but in case you didn’t know – In that usage the word is ‘eke’. ‘Eek!’ is the sound you make when someone jumps out from a closet wearing a spider mask.
Fair enough
I had good luck with quad swap but I’d easily believe the ease of operation depended on exact version of the console etc
A lot of people never got the swap trick message it seems. Especially the quad-swap that worked on later consoles.
It was my main method, but I’ve talked to a surprising number of people who told me it didn’t exist/work
Watching the video this cheat code method seems more complex
Complete opposite here. Typing this on an iPhone 8, and I’ve never retired a phone sooner than 4 years. Usually I give up around 6 due to lack of updates becoming a problem.
A longer support cycle would definitely sway my purchase decision.
Edit: though I am the type to replace batteries, buttons and screens myself as necessary
The cheaper option would be to set up an ad-hoc tv-to-tv network. You might not let your TV talk to the internet, but I bet your neighbour does, or if not, then their neighbour will.
Monitors are effectively always in ‘filmmaker mode’, as they don’t do frame interpolation and colour grading and over-scanning and all the stuff that filmmaker mode disables.
Have you tried in the past few years? They basically don’t exist anymore in the consumer space.
