Viper_NZ@lemmy.nzto Technology@lemmy.world•"Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewershipEnglish246·12 days agoHis 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…
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.

Being worse for customers is just a happy accident.
Viper_NZ@lemmy.nzto Technology@lemmy.world•The End Of The Hackintosh Is Upon UsEnglish275·2 months agoIt’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.

They started the transition a few years later and it was entirely hosted on Windows by 2005.

It finally picked up momentum in the fourth season when Manny Coto took over as show runner, then they killed it.
Legend. Thank you!

Viper_NZ@lemmy.nzto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Someone needs to be reminded that anticompetitive practices are illegal31·2 years agoPolitically sure, but economically the USA is hurt by this war. You may as well make the case that it’s in China’s interest, or Indias.
But that wouldn’t align with Kremlin disinformation that you’re spreading. Wilfully or not.

The other 1,500kg of car? Made of unicorn kisses and butterfly dreams.
Viper_NZ@lemmy.nzto Technology@lemmy.world•Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one chargeEnglish1·2 years agoNope, Toyota.
Since 2008 they’ve been trotting out a story annually that their amazing solid state batteries are only 2-3 years away.
They’ll revolutionise EVs, so there’s no point buying one now. It’ll be a worthless dead end.
Buy a proven Toyota hybrid instead to tide you over.

Viper_NZ@lemmy.nzto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•What I'm paying to find out I don't have breast cancer. I have insurance. (Ultrasound and mammogram in the USA)English7·2 years agoA cancer diagnosis and complications from chemotherapy. It’s been rough on her but she’s an absolute trooper.
Viper_NZ@lemmy.nzto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•What I'm paying to find out I don't have breast cancer. I have insurance. (Ultrasound and mammogram in the USA)English68·2 years agoSince September my wife has had about ten CTs, three MRIs, two major surgeries (the last one 7 hours long), one emergency surgery, weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatments and about 8 weeks hospitalised including some time in the ICU.
Total cost: $0
Unless you count the cost of parking when I visit her in hospital, in which case I’ve spent about $170 USD
This is in New Zealand with a publicly funded health system.
