@Lensflare example: Lumafield had afaik more articles. Worth the read.

Btw some of the USB4 long cables are actualy fiber optic, so the conector contains full media convertor.

@cafecortado "Those invented words "

all words are invented. or do you believe a linguist dug a dictionary in ancient athens and no new words were created since then?

@kiki this is imto the worst approach ever. you grow a side project from a hobby. then your hobby turns into another job. suddenly, you realize you're working two jobs and your former hobby no longer has to rest and relaxation purpose it had earlier.

the stuff i loved doing before is now a chore just because i was stupid enough and agreed to turn it into a side-project. now, it's just another "work"

"What is it with Android and completely dying after a couple years"

WTH are you doing with them? Even my 13 years old Android phone still operates fine.

I'm using a phone released 7 years ago right now and the only reason to upgrade is VoLTE/upcoming 2G+3G shutdown, otherwise I would likely continue to use it

camera, power, facial recognition, notifications....

wouldn't it be easier just to get a shoe rack with doors and a lock?

last time i've unlocked bootloader for Xperia, it deleted the DRM keys for photo processing bcs i was too inexperienced to do a DRM backup first :X

also "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0" ftw. makes a living with stock bearable as you can disable most of the bloat

Funny to pretend windows are some sort of a imutable object and the start menu content can't be changed

web2.0!

@jiraTicket the mentality "everything has to change all the time" is also horrible

easy answer, without diving into optimization, algorithms, or any technicalities

"imagine you're learning a foreign language. single grammar mistake means the application will crash (best case scenario)"

people with basic self-reflection should realize they're not 100% gramaticaly correct all the time even in their native language

then there's Acer

and the legitimate reply might look the same as all the other spam

I can imagine known exploits, fuzzing, generating fake content for payload delivery, etc...
Can't currently imagine it would "discover" new malware/approach, which wouldn't be based on existence within its training data

@dIREsTRAITS tbh i fail to see the issue with "looks outdated"

basic xfce without graphic bloat ftw

"Its so boring by default"
And what do you expect? Its a tool and the main question is, if it does its job.
Are you expecting amusement also from other tools? Spending evenings by lauging at a toolbox?

you know, UI, UX, and graphical design are not important because being dev is just about writting code and nothing else

doing so much without achieveing same result as the colleague sounds like you've picked an inefficient approach for the goal or exp'd on wrong skill tree

What's the point of a game, if not to play it for enjoyment?
If you're farming, that's just a job with extra steps.

@lungdart tbh i don't support the idea of writting tests first / TDD either.

it means i write ton of tests on "expected" behavior. then during implementation, discover the remote side behaves differently than was known and have to rewrite not only code but also ton of tests.

seems more practical to prototype operational code first and then cover it with tests.

+ i never really understood how can i write e.g. asserts on exceptions at a point where i don't know what and how i'll be processing

@cuddlyogre i was using it quite a lot. but then i've also started to use pre-commit hooks for trailing whitespace removal and of course, it deletes all the doublespaces and new line breaks with it

"HE CANNOT. IT CAN ONLY BE DONE THROUGH THE APP."

please remember this next time someone brings the "right to offline". this a great example why digital/online-only without fallback is a bad idea

@darksideofyay then there's few more to add to the list

Keep in mind devs are quite specific community, i.e. agree on Copilot. I'm using it too and yeah, it's needs corrections but it's not bad.

Our corp also has private instance of GPT4. The decline of quality since last year is noticeable.

But the key part of statement is "gains their employers expect". Imagine all those CEOs sold on hype how GPT wrapper will generate 10x workers, now realizing it's not coming true and blaming own employees instead of their overinflated expectations.

@Lensflare search for something along the lines of "industrial display panel" instead of TV

the main difference - the user has CHOSEN to have those toolbars installed

It does it also with non-MS apps - i.e. when I put a link to PDF into a PowerPoint presentation and then click on it, the MS Office opens Acrobat instead of the default PDF viewer.

stick to creation of graphic packages... like with ATMFD.DLL/BLEND?

+ it screws any screenshots

and if you hit the emoji buttons too fast in random order, there's a good chance the outlook crashes. at least in my case it did few times
