Again, im not trying to change their minds lmao.

Been down that road with many family and friends. They will decide what they will decide whether or not i try to tell them these companies suck.

Im not doing nothing. Im laughing at them and enjoying myself quite a bit actually. Id be happy to teach them to degoogle and stuff when they make that decision, but it is not my job to convince them to do so. Its yours apparently

Or maybe its your job to educate the masses! Go forth, noble knight. Spend your days shouting into the ignorant void

Then they will keep buying crap. Most people dont care and never will and i will continue to get shadenfreude from their ignorance when their overpriced garbage breaks. Nothing people like us can say will convince them. People like that have to learn their own lessons.

Probably right. It is samsung after all. They would rather you have e-waste than not be able to serve you ads and steal your data.

Samsung is pretty known to be a shit ass company. You can spend your money how you like, but dont be surprised when someone laughs at you for buying shitty overpriced stuff

Smart fridges arent helpful either. Its gimmicky bs from tech giants. The same tech giants that inject ads into everything they can for past 20 years. Genuinely, what did you people expect??

Im not trying to be helpful or productive. Obviously. Im making fun of people for buying dumb shit.

Even so, most expiration dates are a scam. Why would smart expiration dates be any better

Probably just break the smart features remotely

Lmao that’s what you get for buying a smart fridge. This was inevitable.

Thats awful, im so sorry. Our entire house is usually $200ish but it jumped to $400ish because they put in a data center nearby and are using residents to subsidize it

Neat, are they available in the US and as affordable as tidal?

Wtf?? Are you running a crypto farm or something?? $900 is insane

I like tidal a lot. They pay their artists the highest percentage last i checked, and they have sound quality as their main selling point. The station algorithm is a little bunk though.

I am slowly rebuilding my mp3 library after switching to streaming 15 years ago when it was the hot new thing. Hopefully i can ditch them all together soon.

It wasn’t live. They use the same footage at every concert.

I loved XP, but i havent used it since i was like 13. I kept it well into the vista era. That pc finally died right before windows 8. That one pissed me off. It was so clearly meant for tablets and still being crammed into non-touch screens

I was raised in the xp/windows 7 era. I switched to Arch Linux this year and have never been more satisfied with my computer. If i get stuck, the wiki and other nerds are happy to come to the rescue.

I had mine on paper for years before i learned about Keepass. I trusted it more than a cloud based manager because someone would have to physically be in my room.

I am a lot more careful these days but that is not beyond the pale for a lot of folks haha

Sometimes i turn off hardcore mode when i get overwhelmed. I def agree in principle though

I have been daily driving fossify after testing it on my project phone and its pretty solid. The launcher still has some bugs that are deal breakers for me but i like the others quite a bit. Even the ones still in beta do exactly as advertised (though not much else)
