Do you... change your tires? Or just get a brand new car every year to avoid the hassle of dealing with car shops?

Problem with Smart TVs is they become obsolete super fast software wise. And basically, unsafe to connect to the internet in a few years.

Most TVs have CI+ ports. I can easily imagine an upgradable "smart module". Just buy a new compatible one (which, effectively could just connect for power and HDMI) and get the brand new stuff.

There is no bubble, smart TVs are a consumerist trap and it will require government intervention to fix because nobody has any incentives otherwise.

Like, apart from the whole Europe.

But you don't "own" that. You get a temporary rent. The problem is society (and tech) moves so fast it feels like the rent is too long.

The idea to incentivize public sharing of knowledge for a short term rent is not so stupid.

> You know, because Minecraft is a game targeted at kids.

A survival game where you are utterly alone fighting zombies and all kinds of monsters that come at night while you have no weapons or shelter.

Yeap... kids stuff.

> What did Python have relative to other languages that inspired these developers to devote so much energy into their projects?

Not a popular opinion, but Python had Google.

I'm not worried at all. I was just commenting why others may see that comment (not mine) overly aggressive.

A comment here. It seems to me insects are all over the place in abandoned land. But here we have most of the land alongside the road planted (and sprayed I guess). Which is to say, farmers are killing bugs near their plantation. So, no surprise there.

I re-read your post and while it's not overly aggressive it's the difference in tone and approach that get you. The original poster was like the hippie encouraging home-made yogurt and you were like the school principal saying 'this is bull, store yogurt has scientifically the same benefits'.

PS: I also learned while writing this I can't spell yogurt. Thanks spellchecker!

Is Pico their attempt at breaking away from Broadcom?

I am still waiting some better IO connectors so I can connect an SSD to RPi.

> You want them to change their name, open source Windows?

Open sourcing Windows would be a good start.

Likewise. All the debunking and debunking debunking means I have no actual choice. If anything things are more muddy. Welcome to adulthood I guess.

Gnome people basically looked as how Apple managed to be firm about design and though they can be even tougher since they do it for free.

Such reasonable / obvious requests linger for decades and after a while the system has been rewritten and bugs are auto-closed.

I no longer report any bugs nor care.

There's crypto "pop-jargon" and cypto technical jargon.

The technical jargon does make sense like any kind of niche technical jargon.
