You’re missing the forest for the trees, but ok.

Except that something being profitable doesn’t make it any more or less embarrasing. e.g. Landlords make lots of money yet we all hate them.

Again, the most common problem in those cases are crappy drivers/fan curves. I have a laptop with W11 on it and fix/maintain laptops for friends as well and this is not an issue with any of them. The only time I had this problem was with a specific laptop.

Honestly, of all of the things you could criticize about windows (and there are lots), this is the one thing that is simply not an inherent OS problem.

Exactly this. I used to have an HP Omen 15 laptop with a 10th gen H variant i7 cpu that would constantly make a noticeable fan noise and would ramp up and down for no reason but the problem was the laptop. Everyone complained about it. The current one is an Omen 16 and it doesn’t have that problem at all. Even when gaming.

I don’t get why people exaggerate this much. I have a laptop with a 7840hs and 32gb of ram so it’s also “overpowered” but it’s whisper quiet and consumes 30-45w while doing simple tasks. Consumption only increases if I’m running code, playing games, etc which makes total sense.

Windows is not a well optimized os and the telemetry sucks but you’re just flat out lying with your claims. It’s either that or your laptop has the worst possible cooling.

You keep using a service/app that you know doesn’t work the way you want it to. Do you know the definition of insanity? xD

I have 7500 songs downloaded on my phone (actually downloaded, the .opus files) and I use Poweramp to listen to them. It consumes less battery, the quality is the same or better and the shuffle option works as expected. I also don’t need to log in to anything.

If you don’t like it, stop using it. There’s no one to blame but yourself.

I’ve also had to replace phones for broken USB ports which in the grand scale is probably more wasteful than the extra power use.

On one hand, yes, your port can break at some point. On the other, why would you throw away the whole phone if the usb port can be replaced? Going even further, you could always use your usb port for charging until it breaks and after that you could start using wireless charging. For data transfer there are plenty of apps and ways to wirelessly transfer data so that wouldn’t be a problem either. At the end of the day, you’re barely using your usb port and you’re also wasting twice as much (or more) energy that you would if you used a wired charger.

Wired turbo chargers are bad as well. However, although I don’t know about iOS, Android lets you plan your charge cycle. That makes my phone take about 8 hours to charge while I’m asleep.

Or you could just not use a fast charger and not worry about that. Either way, you’re moving the goalpost. Not all phones support fast charging and not everyone has a fast charger. I’d wager most people charge their phones with lower power (15/20w more or less).

I’d be interested to see how you measure that. It’s also not really a matter of opinion. Even though you may not notice a wild difference, your battery did degrade more than it would’ve, if you’d used a wired charger.

Also, the inefficiency is bad enough for me to rule it out. You literally waste at least twice as much power compared to a wired charger (source). Although we’re not talking about a crazy amount of power, it’s pretty selfish to waste it just because you don’t want to plug in a charger.

You do realize that wireless charging is also very inefficent and reduces your battery lifespan, right? It’s also kinda weird that your port goes bad after such a short time. Maybe you should clean it more often and make sure not to put any tension on it when you use it. I even have a 10 year old phone and the port (micro usb) still works perfectly fine.

Not having dialogue has nothing to do with. While the animals can only be so complex (if acting “naturally”), the storytelling is not limited to just that. They could’ve probably told more about the world with the elements and places the animals found. The animation was pretty crappy at some points too. The dog for example was not very well done.

Regardless of all of this, I’m not saying it should have been different, I only wanted to express that this movie is not worthy of an oscar when compared to something like Memoir Of A Snail, imo.

It’s a very simple film without much depth to be honest. Memoir of a snail was far better.

Who said that? That’s not the limiting factor. Also, smartwatches have crappy processors.

Supposedly, what’s hard is making a phone with good performance and battery life that’s also small.

It’s extremely easy to use and set up. You can also use it for free for up to 5 users I think and it has a lot more configuration options than Tailscale. In my case I didn’t have to change anything at all though, it was basically plug n play.

Not sure about what you mean by “business oriented”. It seemed pretty simple to me.

I prefer ZeroTier but both work.

Maybe, just maybe, the context in which you use regex isn’t the same as everyone elses. But hey, who am I to deny you the disservice of thinking you’re the center of the world?

Maybe for your very specific use case that’s true. However, other use cases exist and for many of those RegEx is the better option.

You’re discussing a completely different use case from what I said. RegEx can be increidbly useful but it’s not always the only/best option.
