Err, no. Something “existing” is not the same as something being supported. Is the original printer still providing free translations to modern languages? Fixing typos and other mistakes? Adding chapters on a regular basis?

It’s kinda ludicrous to call the fact that a thing didn’t spontaneously disappear “support”.

Those have been around since day 1 afaik - my second gen kindle had them over ~12 years ago

You can’t equate that to providing ongoing updates and support for a $100 hardware device indefinitely.

Err, yes they did. Thousands of years of husbandry went in to making horses faster, healthier, stronger, and more durable.

I think the quote you’re looking for is “if I had asked people what they wanted, the would have said faster horses”. It’s attributed to Henry Ford, although there is debate about whether or not he said it.

The point of the quote is that “faster horses” is the consumer response to “how do I get more work done” as it comes from the viewpoint of “how am I doing my work now”. An ingenious mind looks at the desired outcome and works backwards and may come to a different and dramatically improved solution instead of merely improving the current tool.

Maybe it’s an OS difference but on my Mac when the new crappy antigravity updated, I got a very helpful dialog box explaining the changes and offering to download and install Antigravity IDE. Of course I did so and both run happily at the same time. Well, they did the one time I launched both, but now I’m back to just using the IDE.

It’s not a rumor - there are many public announcements about $B deals around compute for other Ai companies

No, not really - at least not apple. They are very clear on what CarPlay’s privacy stance is, and they’ve got privacy white papers on pretty much everything:

Eg. https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/Location_Services_White_P...

Again, at least on the apple front this comes off as a ton of “stated without evidence “

That's a fancy spotlight search modal, not an application or window...

> Open apple TV. cmd+w -> minimizes window.

No it doesn't, it closes the window. Look at your dock - minimized windows show up on the other side of the | divider with a mini representation of their contents.

> I feel like I'm being gaslight by all the hn users telling me yeah that makes sense

It feels more like you're willfully railing against the way macOS is because you're not used to it. If you remove your preconceptions about how things should be (and keep in mind that macOS defined most of the things we're talking about 30+ years ago, so it's not like there was a standard to follow), it really does make sense. CMD-W closes the current doc/tab/window, CMD-Q quits the application.

The only time that doesn't work is when the application writer intentionally breaks it (and the macOS community typically rages about that - looking at you chrome!), or you're not dealing with a normal application/app/program (ie you can't close a system prompt with a command targeted at applications).

You can’t quit finder - it’s a fundamental part of the hi that always has to run.

Multiple tabs in a window are intended to be treated the same as multiple windows. This has been the case since macOS made tabbed interface components a standard part of the OS.

> Open Apps

What do you mean? Which apps?

Yes, but it is uncommon for a $600 PC to have a beautiful screen, great trackpad, metal case, and top notch build quality. Also, the neo performs really really well.

No, we aren’t being blocked. Turn on LAN mode, pair regular Orca slicer, ignore Bambu for the rest of eternity. Plenty of people have done it.

That’s a complete misunderstanding of the current state of affairs. Bambu didn’t take away local network support, and you can use any Bambu printer without any cloud or internet connection.

What you can’t do is use a 3rd party slicer with their cloud servers…

Yes, and usps stores and Whole Foods do that for Amazon in the US as well. The difference is that each of those items don’t need to be individually packaged and shipped to unique locations. My local USPS put all the returns for the day in a giant bin and an Amazon driver picks them up.

I think the cost of labor and liability involved in having a local retail worker wrap, label, and ship every package would be an order of magnitude higher than shipping alone and destroy any value in offering it.

Umm, that’s been around since 1938, which is a few years before the era you’re talking about…

Bullhockey. Wall Street doesn’t assign debt. Poor management and bad risk-assessment leads to assuming bad debt.

This is like saying it’s the car’s fault that you drove to work today…
