Lots of people care because it creates e-waste.

If the culture changes so that all consumers act like that and forces the companies to change their production cycle, that would be a big boon for the environment.

The issue isn’t you doing your hobby projects however you want, it’s people being paid and produce LLM generated code.

And the biggest issue is managers/c-suites thinking that LLMs can replace senior devs.

And the biggest biggest issue is that the LLMs in their current mainstream form are terribly bad for the environment.

It’s rarely the case. You rarely work in vacuum where your work only affects what you do at the moment. There is always a downstream or upstream dependency/requirement that needs to be met that you have to take into account in your development.

You have to avoid the problem that might come later that you are aware of. If it’s not possible, you have to mitigate the impact of the future problems.

It’s not possible to know of all the problems that might/will happen, but with a little work before a project, a lot of issues can be avoided/mitigated.

I wouldn’t want civil engineers thinking like that, because our infrastructure would be a lot worse than it is today.

There is no issue here from Bitwarden POV, except the pushback they receive now.

Bitwarden got VC funding and the bell is ringing to bring the cows back in to be milked dry.

They are testing the water to see how people react, scale back a bit through whatever lies/PR, and will just wait for the right time to shove more shit.

This is a pattern we’ve seen over and over again.

Do you have good resources to read on risc-v. I hear about it a lot, but haven’t found meaningful resources (to me) on it.

Thanks

I am the person that you called brain damaged. Clearly some reading comprehension issues.

You have the social skills of a rock and it shows.

We managed before remote start, we still can manage now.

What will happen is that more manufacturers will follow suit, until it becomes the norm and every manufacturer does it.

So be ready to be inconvenienced or be ready to pay.

To moment we stop acting like these things are necessary in the real sense of the term is the moment we can find workarounds. Because we know damn well that this practice won’t be legislated.

I sympathize with everyone that lives in cold climates because I do too and it fucking sucks having to heat the freezing car, but be ready to live without the feature because it will definitely be behind a paywall soon enough.

I live in Canada dickwad, I know what cold winters are, so cut your whining.

Remote start is a great QoL, and that’s why scummy companies hide it behind a paywall.

If enough people pay for the subscription, companies will keep doing it.

So the first step is push back and stop buying from companies that does that.

Second step is to not pay for the subscription when all the companies will be doing it, because let’s be real, all car manufacturers will follow suit.

So you will have to either stay in your car, which sucks, or find a workaround like a second key or , in my case, a code on the door.

It will inconvenience a lot of people and car manufacturers are counting on that to keep pushing that shit

I agree with you all the way. But we can kick and scream all we want, but if enough people buy the subscription, car manufacturers will keep hiding features behind paywalls.

It could make sense if the price were reflecting of not owning the car. But we know damn well that you would pay full price as if the car was yours, but you just wouldn’t own it.

I mean, his point is still valid. Take the 2-3 mins it takes to go down and start the car.

We managed before so let’s not pretend that wireless fob are necessary.

I live in a snowy climate and we did just fine before the invention of wireless starters. My car does not have one and we manage just fine.

That is a great QoL, but let’s not pretend this is necessary.

My main point is fuck subscription for every fucking thing to try and squeeze more money, even worst by removing features and putting them back behind a paywall.

However, we need to stop saying that things are necessary when most of the time they are convenient.

Because that is how they get us to pay. Every little inconvenience is treated as if it absolutely needs to be adressed.

Then, we can say fuck off to these companies and live with the inconveniences they left on purpose to sell a subscription.

But until, companies will push these hardware subscriptions because it nets them more money.

One of the biggest lie of all time.

I’ll be ecstatic if that happens, but I won’t hold my breath. It should have been done a long time ago for so many mega corpos, but here we are.

I don’t know what to say. I’ve just glanced at the shopping tab right now, and saw plenty of non-curved 48 inches monitor from LG, Samsung and even Dell.

I didn’t check if they were all dumb though, but mine is (Aorus fo48u)

It’s exactly that. Detect where there are ads in a scene ( a panel for example) and replace the space with their own ads.

Plenty of 48inches though, so compromise

Aorus fo48u here. Dumb as fuck, sometimes too dumb (no remote input processing without hdmi signal), but I’d rather have that than a smart monitor with all the bullshit

Data mining. They know what you watch, when you don’t and any other habits you have.

If you have a microphone on your remote or tv, then they also send that data over.

Corpos are spending countless resources to infiltrate anything with as much as a iota of traction so that they can bleed the cow cash dry and sell its carcass for money.

Even if you distrust the corpos and want them to die, the majority of the population has so much trouble just surviving that its hard to raise up against that bullshit
