I’m using my old Nokia to this day. And why? Because “suddenly being stopped even after a few feet” wasn’t “difficult to mitigate” for Nokia. In the last 15 years this thing must have survived more than 100 drops, sometimes down a staircase. When I pick up the back cover, the battery and the SIM card, it’s as good as new.
You transport the dishes, sure, but do you eat from them while standing? I was specifically referring to handheld devices.
Uh, not really what planned obsolescence is.
You’re right, but I couldn’t think of a short term for this. I found ‘bad’ design too broad, and it’s not ‘hostile’ design either.
Thank you very much for your kind words, my dear sir.
Good luck finding any nontrivial law that applies to each and every instance of a human construct. “Money can be exchanged for goods and services” until you show up at a store with 10 kilograms of 1-cent coins. A single violation (or even many) don’t mean the underlying law (or rule or principle or guideline or whatever ‘less strict’ version you want to call it) is bad.
Newton’s gravity is wrong. There’s no arguing about that. But still every middle-schooler around the world learns it because it is ‘good enough’ in all but extraordinarily special cases.
I know the max rated temperature for my GPU is 92°C, but that doesn’t mean it’s your target temperature!
It also starts disappearing from Amazon around season 3… if we’re talking Lower Decks.
After watching Lower Decks for 3 seasons and going back to TOS, I’m thinking about watching some of the middle entries. What are some of the meaningful differences between them. In other words: What should I watch?
Sadly, I cannot remember which YouTube video featured this: But a guy basically speedran the description of how to solve a quadratic equation the Babylonian way, that is, drawing squares and circles and shit. It took quite a while for him just to list the steps. All that disappears once you learn the formula with the bad, scary letters.
And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.
I watched this video a few years ago. You can tell its age, but I found it very enlighting. In it a lawyer explains why you should never talk to the police even if you’re innocent:

Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.
With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

Meme transcription: 4 panels of Vince McMahon reacting increasingly ecstaticly to:
- Your software isn’t working. Vince McMahon looks curious.
- The bug is in a library. McMahon smiles.
- There already is an issue on Github. McMahon makes an orgiastic face.
- They published a fix last week. [I don’t know how to describe the face McMahon is making.]
I didn’t know Euro and Farad were related :O
