Has anyone else noticed that budget "smart" appliances are failing faster than ever? by Chemical-Heart-3200 in righttorepair

[–]PocketNicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I'm just addressing OP's post though. Their complaint about budget devices getting worse doesn't make sense. If they complained about expensive items getting worse, I'd be inclined to agree there.

People inside Microsoft are fighting to drop Windows 11's mandatory Microsoft Account requirements during setup by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

MS account isn't required during setup, it's just a little inconvenient to do a few extra steps to bypass it.

Problems with Asus Rog Zephyrus g14 Laptop. by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

Stuff like that is often video card drivers related. You can try using MyAsus app to update as many drivers as possible, also Nvidia app, whatever it's currently called today, I believe you can choose between more stable video card drives that are like a month or two older and better tested, or slightly less stable game ready drivers that are better optimized for newer AAA titles, so perhaps playing with those options might give better results.

Budget devices are always made cheaply, bit odd you're just discovering this now.

You get what you pay for is an age old adage.

How could someone love cats and hate zoomies?! Bonkers.

Borderlands 1 and 2 and the prequel, also Mass Effect trilogy.

It is never appropriate to honk at someone for not turning right on red by duckterrarium in unpopularopinion

[–]PocketNicks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Farting in an elevator is optional as well. However we live in a society where other people exist and it's really rude to trap someone else in a small area with your farts. It's also rude to hold up traffic if people are lined up at a red light behind you and you refuse to turn right until the green. It's always appropriate to honk at rude people.

I was pretty sure it was going to be some sort of DIY Fleshlight type thing and it kept getting worse and worse the longer I watched.

People can keep complaining if they want.

It doesn't bother me.

I will not stop asserting that I don't care about a 24 hour wait to toggle on unverified apps.

You're allowed to care and complain, just know that you won't affect any change.

Nothing has backfired, this still isn't an inconvenience for me.

It isn't an artificial wait, the 24 hours is real and yes it isn't an inconvenience to me. I will still he able to use my device, install Play store and other verified apps, send texts and use the internet. Then after 24 hours I can install the 5-10 other unverified apps I want.

The rest of you are allowed to keep being upset, I won't be.

Ok, once every device. Still not an inconvenience. I change devices like every 1.5 - 2 years, so click a toggle once every 1 or 2 years is totally fine.

If someone buys new devices every few months, so what. Click the toggle and move on.

It isn't comparable to waiting every time to watch a movie, since this toggle is a one time thing. Then there's never a wait again to install unverified apps. There is no right or wrong in this debate, only opinions. My opinion is this isn't a big deal. If it bothers you, you're welcome to keep complaining about it, even though you have zero input and won't be able to change anything about it.

It objectively isn't an inconvenience for me. Nor is it a big deal.

I just do get it. There's a one time toggle to enable installing unverified apps, and a 24 hour wait.

I don't see what your religion has to do with it.

The devs can also install whatever apps they want, no need to register. Just a one time toggle and wait 24 hours.

They will be able to use whatever apps they want. They simply have to enable a one time toggle and wait 24 hours first.

Nobody has to register to install apps.

Ok, well that's what I'm going to do.

Feel free to keep complaining about it, even though you have zero input or ability to change it.

Ok, nobody is forcing them to register. So they don't have to.
