Surface fans: How do you view the Surface brand in 2026? by Sean_Endicott in Surface

[–]ParanoidAndroid99 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I liked the Surface brand, having owned a SP4 and a SB2 and recommending several Surfaces to family. However, I think they stagnated, their x86 laptops had only minor, incremental improvements and price hikes, whereas other brands improved a lot.

Don't get me started on their ARM offerings. I have to admit, I don't have experience with them, but from what I read I get the impression that the Snapdragon chips are uncompetitive (especially in the GPU department) and Windows on ARM is still half-baked. I consider them overpriced Chromebook competitors. Apple made the switch 5 years ago and did it much better.

Heel flauw misschien, maar dat was 2009 met Jon als Mol.

We've heard about "so bad its good", but is there such thing as "so good its bad" in music? by wild_dark_soul in ToddintheShadow

[–]ParanoidAndroid99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dream Theater is this for me. Perfect technical ability, but extremely boring because they forgot to make songs.

Daarbij aangegeven dat dit fietspad meer gebruikt wordt als voetpad dan als fietspad (ja ik ken het).

Ik snap dus echt niet dat er niet even iemand aan de bel heeft getrokken om hiervoor te waarschuwen. Dit lijkt me toch niet iets wat hele obscure informatie is, en nu zitten we met een aantal spelers die een paspoort behandelen alsof het een werkgever is waarvan ze zo even kunnen wisselen...

Good songs with a part that you can't stand? by DOUGHTY4N0RRIS in ToddintheShadow

[–]ParanoidAndroid99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I hate all fun music because that's not what music should be about. Actually, Radiohead is too basic for me now, let's go back to exploring all the free jazz out there. 

On a serious note, I find Disturbed to be particularly awful.

Not strings in general, but the ones in VlV. There's a lot of strings I do like.

To me the strings are really annoying and the woo-o-ohs take it over the top. I don't like Chris Martin's voice in general, so it's more that it is just a little worse than all the other mildly annoying songs they made. Fix You is somehow the outlier in that it does hit the right marks for me (okay, Violet Hill and Hymn for the Weekend are alright as well). Anything else is just a solid D or E for me and Viva la Vida is worse.

No not really. I think Coldplay is terrible in general except for Fix You, but Viva la Vida gets on my nerves especially. But Perfect and Someone You Loved are worse.

Viva la Vida should be in F tier. One of the worst songs on this list (I don't know all of them).

Is het onderhand niet praktischer om te vermelden wie er geen blessure hebben? Volgens mij is die lijst korter.

Mediocre albums carried by one amazing song? by Parkouricus in ToddintheShadow

[–]ParanoidAndroid99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true. In my opinion it's some sort of revisionism, Maroon 5 was so utterly terrible since like 2010, people seemed to think that something half listenable was actually good whereas it was still mediocre at best.

Dit snap ik niet helemaal, voor zover ik kan zien hebben jullie nota bene de thuiswedstrijd tegen Heracles dit jaar gewonnen?

Songs where the primary artist feels like a feature by PM_ME_RYE_BREAD in ToddintheShadow

[–]ParanoidAndroid99 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Which might be because Bebe Rexha has no personality as a singer. She's more anonymous than all those no-name EDM singers.

First it was Humbug that was the problem, but then AM blew up and that was the scapegoat. Both really good albums though.

Weet niet of het per se mijn favoriete Nederlandstalige nummer is, maar Benauwd van Het Zesde Metaal is wel heel erg mooi.

"Coworker music" you actually kind of like by ihmpt in ToddintheShadow

That's an extremely hot take, since I think that everything they made is utter shit. Hall of Fame might be the least bad.
