My suggestion is you go get some therapeutic services for the difficulties that plague your mind.

I don’t like the guy, it hurts your feelings, that’s a you problem you little baby

Imagine a person having personal preferences - holy shit what a mind-blowing concept that must be for you

I detest that man so much now. His first videos were good, then his ego started growing, then the bitchy gay man presentation started. I find that so off-putting. Drop the 'tude and give the facts my man.

Microsoft UI “designers” need to be beaten with frozen braids of 3 foot long licorice ropes.

Further the containers contain the info, so the position on the users’ screen is rather irrelevant.

When I read this crap, all I can think is that yeah backlash is growing because the forced implementation is growing. Another useless sentiment-based article.

What more elaboration could possibly be needed?

Fuck right the fuck off lol

I think you’re forgetting that 90% of developers are barely competent at best.

If this upsets the reader and reader’s a dev, remember I’m talking about the other people not you =)

Guys I discovered a hidden microphone in my headphones speaker!!!

I mean it’s not that sinister.

It’s just not impressive in the slightest. Like, we still use lookup tables for trigonometry functions

Guys it’s a lookup table. Whoop de fucking do.

I’m not condemning the person I haven’t watched.

But I don’t need a 41 minute video that sounds like he just expounds personal opinions and is not really meritorious.

I follow this stuff, I have for 30 plus years.

If he didn’t heavily focus on extended warranties, he’s in the weeds.

And I see no evidence from what people are discussing here that he clues in on that.

I haven’t watched this video, but based on your comment I don’t think I’ll bother.

It is my sincere understanding that the degradation of quality is from the companies trying to leverage extended warranties as the true profit center of appliances.

edit: I should add in more detail. Sorry Avid, not trying to converse “around” you, it’s just meant to inform other’s on how I come to think this way.

The shit really hit the fan for quality when Maytag/Whirlpool bought Amana and restructured. They closed most of their manufacturing and consolidated. Really this meant that for all the “banners” or “brands” that various machines were sold under in the various stores, now for the most part they were all the exact same machines, literally made in the same plants, same pumps, elements, controllers, you get the picture. The drop in quality was precipitous from this point.

Oh, and Haier was trying to purchase either Amana or Whirlpool, can’t remember which. But at any rate Haier was in the game walking the dog on consumers as well. Samsung, who had absolutely no fucking business making appliances, then jumped hard into the game because they’re a major competitor. Businesses playing shell games and strategically competing.

All of this dovetailed with the larger industry-wide push to embrace the “extended warranty” profit stream. Companies everywhere were figuring out that the money was flowing like water with this scam. This slowly evolved into a quasi-subscription type business model where they are now designed and expected to fail in a specific time frame. Circuit boards by steam vents, changing key components to aluminum which corrodes. That type of obvious bullshit.

I think now they’ve got us by the nut sack. Buying an EW is almost automatic at this point. Nobody thinks for a second that their device is going to hit 18 months without a major malfunction.

They’ve managed to turn buying a washing machine into a Vegas Hotel type situation where the up front price is $47 but in the forensic accounting you’re paying $160.

What’s it like being an amateur that is so clueless you actually think you have any capacity to analyze what is good, better, best for coding?

You know that Vista was an irredeemable piece of shit. Don’t know why you’re bothering to defend it.

What’s it like working in a field where you are completely incompetent?

Love how you just completely skipped over the entire thrust of the comment and then churned out some blithe remark.

I feel you, I just also think the financial loss resulting from the respective decisions makes Ballers idiocy unrivaled.

There’s a big difference between killing momentum in a gaming concern vs what was lost by completely mismanaging, bungling, and squandering the opportunity to dominate the mobile computing market.

I’m not really disagreeing with you just looking at relative damages.

Can’t believe the number of tool boxes in this comment section say “oh gee, I can really see how this unnecessary feature improves my life because I don’t know how to breathe on my own or live”
