Social media has just gotten way worse across the board. X is just a reflection of trend.

Wow. Politically charged much?

This site has really gone downhill lately with drivel like this being upvoted. Any real developers on this site anymore?

Is there really much of an anti-immigrant narrative here?

Honestly for the limited projects I've had to work with... I can attest to that. It's the over engineered abstractions that get me. Traditional Java EE users use WAY too many abstractions and interfaces, it's absolutely horrible to debug.

I guess it's just a given that everyone uses IntelliJ Ultimate. If you don't, I guess you're right, the tooling is lacking outside of that. But it's so worth it...

That's sad. Dishonored 2 is one of the greatest games of all time and there's truly nothing like that on the market anymore.

Fedora Silverblue has been rock solid for my parents. Just a an amazing idea to have immutable os builds when upgrading.

eBombzor — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 02:26:43 +0000

HDMI 2.1 is useless already, how many monitors halve the bandwidth of their 2.1 connector? Standards need enforcing, none of this fake HDMI 2.x bullshit.

Not buying anything Lenovo made ever again. T14 G1 was the worst computer I've ever had the displeasure of using. Extremely spotty USB C connection, throttling to 0.2 Ghz for no reason with no fix, and just terribly slow all around. Shame since I loved the T450s dearly.

Why is this site so unbearably political now? Some of these takes are almost as bad as the stuff you find on the front page of Reddit...

They already went too far with the UWP transition. Now the app takes forever to launch, compared to the old version.

LNL is a great paper launch but I have yet to see a reasonably priced LNL laptop so far. Nowadays I can find 16GB Airs and X Elite laptops for 700-900 bucks, and once you get into 1400 territory just pay a bit more for M4 MBPs which are far superior machines.

And also, they compete in the same price bracket as Zen 5, which are more performant with not that much worse battery life.

LNL is too little too late.

No racial violence? Tell me... Does anyone even begin to acknowledge the atrocities done to the indigenous population over there?
