I had the pleasure of working on a development mode samsung TV with root access. Tizen is just weird / bad Linux and the TV was remarkably easy to render unbootable even without root.

Do any of you use bandcamp? I basically stopped using spotify, amazon, apple music, etc and just discover / buy / download / stream all my music there.

Gawr Gooner posted:I have a small pain point about Bandcamp, even before Epic bought them, and is kind-of in line with the thread topic. Yes this happened to me too. It's very annoying. I wish they would alert users first so they could download the "offending" tracks before they get taken down. I got lucky since i'm a packrat and download everything.

teen witch posted:Why the gently caress does it need to take goddamn ten seconds to press a button and get a response. What. Why. No one wants this. I recently worked on a project where I got to use a Samsung development TV. We got to peer behind the veil and look at the OS with root privileges and let me tell you they're massive pieces of crap. Basically a bunch of annoying poo poo bolted onto linux Managed to render the TV unbootable by just messing with the user-controlled application data.

Triikan posted:I don't know what the fuss is about smart tvs. I just don't connect it to the internet. I have a Tyzen TV currently, but it's never felt the cool embrace of an IP address on my local network, and I've never had to interact with it beyond setting the colors the way I like them when I first installed it. I don't even have batteries in it's remote. It turns on automatically when my Shield turns on. I think some people have reported some newer TVs complaining constantly if they're not connected to the internet.

Brother Tadger posted:Dog training is about training you, as the owner, to be consistent; you have to do the correct steps every time, not just some times. Also, if your dog isn’t tired, it’s going to find ways to annoy you. These people should get a loving cat. They're relatively low maintenance with regards to training compared to a dog. I don't get why any lazy person would get a pet that notoriously requires time and effort to train.

anonumos posted:It makes me sad when emotionless people get an animal that needs affection, play, and careful feeding. They just leave a bucket of slop laying around, shoo the poor thing away when it wants to cuddle, toss it out the door when it soils the carpet, and swear at it when it whines. There are too many emotionally neglected pets, living miserable lives in smoke filled hell holes or chained outside in all weather. Poor things are companion animals. They deserve more. I was more referring to people who live in a studio apartment that get a husky and let it howl for hours, but the scenario you're talking about is much sadder and those people shouldn't have pets at all.

kdrudy posted:Was coming to post this, charging developers per install of their game. Reinstalls count. I wonder how long they stick with it before reversing course because literally everyone is all over them for it. That is so insanely stupid. How could they not see install bombing as a malicious thing angry gamers will do if a unity-based game asks them for their pronouns or something?

StormDrain posted:I jumped on this train and it was a little worse than the Samsung it replaced but overall fine. I ended up buying a USB-C to 3.5mm jack and USB-C for charging in the off chance I need to charge and use the jack and also so I could use my noise cancelling earmuff hookup while mowing the lawn. Are any of these USB-C to 3.5 mm adapters not big pieces of poo poo? I've been through like 20 of them and they all either wear way too quickly or have tons of weird interference problems. A few have even randomly disconnected while using them, causing whatever embarrassing music I'm listening to to be broadcasted through my phone's speaker.

Bandcamp is probably hosed: https://www.wired.com/story/epic-games-sale-bandcamp-music-platform-limbo/ quote:Bandcamp employees were stunned to learn that some of them would not be receiving job offers from Songtradr. That day, the acquisition was announced publicly, and multiple Bandcamp employees say they began losing access to many of the systems needed to do their jobs, leaving the platform operating with limited oversight... There goes the last thing I cared about on the internet. gently caress you Epic. They probably just bought Bandcamp to play Lawsuit Games (TM) with Apple.

Comstar posted:Work is closing the building cafe on Fridays and every other day at 2pm. The only place to eat is 10 minutes drive in any direction. There is no vending machines either. I know city living isn't for everyone but I always found this depressing about suburban offices that I've traveled to for work. I can't believe how isolated so many of them are. Not even a strip mall within walking distance for a variety of food or something.

GABA ghoul posted:What's the theory on why enshitification massively accelerated in the last year? Google squeezing real hard right now with search being almost unusable & YT cracking down on ad blockers, Reddit axed 3rd party apps, etc. I think they're emboldened by each other's layoffs and policy changes that piss off their employees and customers but almost never seem to cause them to actually lose enough support to eat poo poo. For example, I'm sure Google saw what happened with Netflix cracking down on account sharing and decided they could get away with forcing people to pay for youtube with crackdowns on ad blockers. On a personal level, many years ago I left a large company to work for a very small, specialized company that was privately owned. A slightly larger company started pouring honey into the owners ears about growth and in short order they agreed to let the larger company purchase us. Long story short, they ended up selling themselves to a large company and just like that I was back where I started. The next company I went to recently took on outside investors because of growth. A year later a huge round of layoffs just to satisfy revenue growth targets. BOTH of these companies were very profitable and had no specific need for growth. In both cases a company I actually liked working for became hosed up because of growth. I swear to god I'd rather listen to the anguished screams of dying children than sit in on another all hands meeting where some dick head in a patagonia vest talks about revenue growth.

Nobody can help you. If you need customer support for any reason, gently caress you. Click through a bunch of frequently asked questions that don't describe any issue you're experiencing before you reach the option to chat with a bot. If you're lucky you might be able to scare up a customer support number, but good luck talking to a loving human being on there either.

I just got a new phone and it is made of the worlds most slippery material. When I'm talking to someone on the phone and am pinching it between my cheek and my shoulder I can feel it slipping down. I can feel it sliding between my fingers when I go for it in my pocket or hold it up to text or browse the internet. If I put it on the couch next to me, the divot in the couch made by my rear end can cause it to slide forward and off the couch. I live in mortal fear of this thing slipping out of my hand like a bar of soap and shattering on the ground.

deep dish peat moss posted:It's time to get rid of cars I can't tell if it's confirmation bias, but the way people are driving lately around me makes me believe this more than ever. Just last night when I was crossing the street at a red light some rear end in a top hat slowly drove around the cars in front of him into the oncoming lane to blow through the light and make a left. Just to get stuck in traffic again. These days, I don't even cross the street immediately when I get the signal because some shithead will always blow through the solid red light. If the city would crack down on lovely driving with citations and use the money on our public transit, I'm positive we could gold plate all of our trains. I guess it's more important for NYPD to demonstrate how useless they are.

Beastie posted:I bike 4.5 miles each way to work. I don't know if its something we're putting in the water at work but I almost got hit three times. Twice by people turning into the flow of traffic and only checking the traffic in one direction. Had to shout at both of them for them to see me. The other was someone making a turn perpendicular to my direction of travel. Again, had to shout to make her see me. Hit the brakes hard enough to skid. I feel awful for cyclists in this city. Recently, McGuinness blvd (one of the more dangerous streets for biking) was supposed to be completely redesigned with protected bike lanes. For reference:  But business owners complained that the reduction to two lanes would "hurt their business", even though evidence points to the contrary: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-08/for-store-owners-bike-lanes-boost-the-bottom-line So our shithead mayor decided on a redesign that pleases no one and doesn't make McGuinness blvd much safer for cyclists. Furthermore, the city has actually decided to do something about the mountains of trash on the sidewalks with a European style trash bin pilot program. Of course because this takes up parking (and because of a little bit of weird nimbyism), some people are complaining: https://gothamist.com/news/giant-trash-bins-land-in-harlem-will-they-fight-rats-or-just-take-up-parking The dumbest man in Manhattan posted:“They take up parking. That’s not nice,” said Josef Rojas, who parked his SUV outside the apartment building across the street from the school. He’s lived in the building for 25 years and says the city needs to better enforce existing sanitation rules instead, such as ticketing businesses for not using lidded cans or putting trash out too early. Get hosed Josef. You don't need a car in Manhattan. And even if you do because you are an edge case, get hosed. I would KILL to have these things in my neighborhood. I can't believe people are calling these eyesores as opposed to the mountains of loving trash that sit on the sidewalk for vermin to root around in. What really gets me is that things don't just get worse. They also never get loving better. People actively work to prevent any positive change because of whatever idiotic mild convenience they think it will cause them.

I couldn't name a single Taylor Swift song if someone had a gun to my head. I thought Call Me Maybe was one for like a decade but just found out I was wrong! We went over it earlier in this thread but bandcamp is actually a great way to discover new music. At least until songtradr bleeds it dry and dismantles it.

We'd probably catch it immediately but they could do just about anything short of turning off the water for the whole city. I used to recommend doing this after assessments but nobody ever implemented it because it pissed off engineers. Kudos to wherever you work.
