Drum spider and drum with two dissimilar metals that react and eats the drum spider away with use?

They’ve been doing it for decades at this point. No idea why people buy Samsung appliances.

Then again even Bosch and Miele have started using plastic welded drums which prevent repair of simple parts like bearings and motors so… Fuck us all I guess.

As someone who has used dashes for decades, this recent trend bothers me.

Ram isn’t the only issue. It’s the bloat it needs to load even to display a simple UI.

Using electron for seemingly every app will do that.

I feel like the female birds should be wearing brown.

Not arguing with your point, it’s valid. But I wanted to make it clear from OPs point about book DRM that this is not an issue with Kobo. The books themselves as mostly DRM free and you can put whatever you want on the device.

You can still transfer epubs and most books on the kobo store are sold without DRM (publisher choice)

Canceled my sub when that happened and won’t be back.

The battery in my 13 Pro is absolute toast. I was thinking of upgrading but really, what benefit is there?

It’s no lighter, it’s thicker, the performance may be faster on paper but I doubt I’d notice.

Maybe I’ll just replace the battery and wait a few more years.

His complete lack of self awareness and ability to own up and apologise when they’ve dropped the ball put me off the channel entirely. For example they found out one of their main sponsors Honey were scamming their viewers and essentially stealing from people, they just kept it quiet rather than owning it.

That, and Emily was the best thing about the channel and she left so…

You’ll feel it once…

They’re a business. Reducing their costs (while charging you a premium) is absolutely what they do.

Apple’s whole deal for decades now has been building a vertical supply chain. Using their own SSD controller is one less component they have to pay others for.

They just don’t give a shit about downsides: aftermarket repairers or user upgradeability.

It’s more cost effective to integrate the controller.

Being worse for customers is just a happy accident.

It’s replaceable, it’s not upgradable.

Apple doesn’t use standard NVMe M.2 drives. The controller is built into the SoC rather than being on the storage device itself.

Hotmail ran on FreeBSD when Microsoft acquired the company in 1997. They started the transition a few years later and it was entirely hosted on Windows by 2005.

They did the same with Star Trek: Enterprise. It finally picked up momentum in the fourth season when Manny Coto took over as show runner, then they killed it.

Having borrowed a quest 3 last week I’ve almost pulled trigger on buying one.

The only thing holding me back is… it’s Meta.

Nah, at some point the simulation we live in is going to round down to save computing power.

Also they never sold it in many countries.

Not only do they cost more, the greater surface area means your cold drink warms up faster.

Neat.
