What do you hate about the computing industry? What really pisses you off? -

[UN 474]

Here are the 2 things I hate:

1. Lack of x86 microprocessor manufacturers
2. UEFI on windows tablets makes installing Linux a pain in the ass

I would love to here about what you think about this industry.

Also, I believe ARM is the future.

 

[The Last Stand]

Apple reselling the same thing year after year for inflated prices, changing ports so that you'd buy more accessories, removing features and reselling them and using cheap materials so that they'll die faster.

Software devs who think they're rockstars.

After Apple removing the headphone port on their phones, for some reason other manufacturers followed.

SaaS and GaaS.

The ones that over-complicate their code despite the same function can be achieved with less lines?

 

[Clop]

Adobe.

Just Adobe.

 

[break these cuffs]

The spyware the chinks bake into every processor.

 

[Ilackcreativity]

The lack of software compatible for Linux.

The lack of software compatible for Linux.

WINE. Though that doesn't work for everything.

EDIT: If I were doing a "home/business computing" thing I'd probably be using a Linux distro, but I like viddygames so lol.

lack of sex robots

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

The fact that they haven't hired me yet.

That's just bad coding. I'm talking about people like Randy pitchford.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

Probably all the trannies.

RAM prices

• Windows existing. It's literally just the 'default' option. I'd love to see more Linux complete system providers and hell, maybe they can even go mainstream ( I know)
• MacOS being a pretty solid experience but being connected with fragile, underpowered shit. (Hackintosh is your friend)
• Linux is diverse so I might be oversimplifying, but a lot of intersection between actual competence and smug hipsterdom seems to come from there.
• Normies acting like Python will replace every other language because omg it's so simple and can do anything
• Boomers who undervalue or don't understand tech jobs.
• Gen Xers/Millennials that throw on the whole positivity facade. I know you're my boss you fuckhead, stop trying to act like my bro.
• AMD not extending Threadripper/8 core Ryzen to notebooks, as far as I know.
• I'd love to see more competition to Clevo chassis, I really like the concept of being able to socket in a desktop CPU to a laptop board.
• Mainstream mechanical keyboards being a poor value, with shitty keycaps and only standard switch options. For that same price bracket you can get a higher quality brand like Ducky, Leopold or Varmilo, with more durable key caps and more options for switches. Or go cheaper and get a chink clone board.
• Speaking of keyboards, I don't give a shit about Logitech's Omron switches. , the back light is more evenly distributed, congratulations.
• Manufacturers still doing 5400 RPM primary drives. I know the difference, the basic consumer doesn't and it'll affect their experience with your product.
• Manufacturers still doing 768p panels on anything that isn't like an 11.6-13" laptop.
• Low end Windows machines.
• The multiple monitors meme.
• Why are there so many fucking trannies.

That's about all the sperging I could muster for now.

No consumer POWER9 processors/hardware. Having Intel monopolize the consumer market means easy malware, ie Meltdown/Spectre. (although I suspect the Five Eyes are pleased about that).

 

[Coolio55]

Everything. EVERYTHING.

The SaaS rip-off merchants. The planned obsolescence rip-off merchants. The hardware fuckery. The increasing lack of control on what you can do on the computer you fucking bought. The increasing trend of retard "programming" by slapping a bunch of pre-built libraries together resulting in a slow buggy mess that's hard to maintain and a dependency hell. (Can't wait until all those package repositories run out of money and close forever. It's going to be computer Armageddon and these shitheels enable it.). Everything being coded in a fucking web browser. The increasing trend of every single fucking thing requiring an internet connection despite it only existing to sound cool to people/bosses who know nothing about tech and/or to extract money from your wallet. Trannies trannies trannies.

The hyper consumerist violently unquestioning and unthinking "Nerd culture" that allows ANY of this.
