It’s the outside I don’t like. I don’t hate it… just looks like it could be a Kia EV.

If you’re goofy enough to buy a Ferrari I expect you want people to really have to see that you’re driving a Ferrari.

Various consumer review sites were regularly doing pieces on newer detergents that maybe-kinda work.

We didn’t have an answer when the bans swept the country. It took a while for things to catch up. Then it was fine again.

Four+ people and someone is either being held hostage to others and/or just tuning out. The more participants, the more of this that’s happening. And that translates pretty directly to lost time, money, and focus.

I don’t think Teams supports it, but it would be interesting to see studies where orgs go “max participants = 4” without high level approval.

There are 8 billion people on this planet. It just doesn’t make sense.

Every updates release notes is like 90% “now with more copilot plz use it.”

Went looking for a thing, saw some Reddit chatter, decided to try it out.

After all the setup and such I realized it was vibecoded and poorly designed. Just monster gaps they obviously didn’t think about and can’t realistically fix.

I should have paid closer attention. Checked the repo… couple months old, no real activity after the first week or so, basically the only project on the account, issues were all unanswered references to the nasty gap in the design.

I sure did prefer the media controls on it, though. I still have a 16” here and am reminded of what could have been.

That’s not to say anything is bulletproof… nothing useful is… just that I don’t entirely trust myself to be 100% on top of something like that as a hobby hosting endeavor.

I just don’t want to self-host if I can avoid it.

Staying on top of managing the application and the environment is a whole different level of diligence when the thing I’m self hosting is the keys to my life. At a minimum it would have to be behind something like a wireguard tunnel to a trusted machine, and that’s an added headache for daily use.

I love their 3d printer. It "just works" like none I had before it.

But now they've killed their 3d printer business and all their stuff is absolutely dependent on their web services. So that thing is up shit creek without a paddle whenever they flip that switch.

It really hurts to think about replacing an expensive, WORKING thing just because it became abandonware.

But everyone else’s craft? Fuck them. Those are obviously fair game.

What the hell does any of that actually mean? Like in real life words? Because that much corporate bullshit really sounds like it is a cost-cutting exercise.
