In 2014 I bought a Fujifilm X-E1 camera, used. Last year I dropped it, and emailed them asking if I could buy parts. They offered to repair my 12 year old camera for a flat rate repair fee that was essentially the cost of labour and shipping. The camera I received back a week later was almost entirely brand new. I can't stop shilling them because that's not just the bare minimum service, that's outstanding. I'd be happy if it's the last camera I ever buy, but they might get a few more customers out of me yet.

Valve making a desktop/TV Steam device would also be a grate step. And a full blown OS for Winblows first hardware? Yea that would probably force a change in the hardware and software market to not be shit. Say whatever about usability of Windows/Linux. The fact is that booting up Winblows leaves you with a idle desktop that SUCKS power and resources. Hitting ram/cpu/internet constantly without you doing ANYTHING. Whiles Linux is at most talking with your network for the bare minimum to be 'on' the network. There really is NOTHING going on in the background of a Linux OS. SSDs Trim might not even be scheduled to run. While Windows have to repair the filesystem it uses constantly to hopefully not be broken when trying to start it up next time... It is insane having a 4-12core CPU on linux. It barely needs a single core to run. Compared to Winblows that wants 4 cores to do who knows what. 2GB of ram on Linux is not a big issue either. 4GB is more then good enough to do serious stuff on it. Winblows? 2GB is what you probably are left having usable with 'only' 6GB of system memory.

@@kaitlyn__L they actually shipped a full desktop SteamOS back then but it had serious issues. The state of gaming on Linux was not yet what it has become, Proton didn’t exist yet and gaming using Wine was *rough*. Drivers support especially for gaming GPUs was hit or miss too. The installer also didn’t ask you about drives so it would just wipe all of the hdds that you had mounted at time of install and just kind of… choose one to write itself to. With no warnings. I also don’t remember it having a desktop mode like the DeckOS has but I could be wrong about that. The device that you’re thinking of was called the Steam Link.

I love me some Linux. I usually have no less than 5 computers or VMs running Linux at home for various reasons. But, moving to Mac OS for my day-to-day was the best of all worlds. App support nearly on par with Windows, all the CLI greatness of Linux, and I never have to do anything with it or to it, it just works. I enjoy screwing around with computers, it's my hobby. But for my daily driver, my work computer, and my laptop which doubles as a work computer, I want it to be powerful and invisible. Mac OS is that. Linux has a long, long way to go to reach that level of dependability. Don't get me wrong -- the kernel is remarkably stable, and much of the software I use in Linux is also solid as a rock. But as a desktop..... eeehhhhhhh.... What it needs most is antithetical to the ecosystem: Good project management with a clear vision and a defined roadmap. What it has is an army of hackers following their dopamine.

The OG Leaf needs to have the oil changed, even though there isn't a well defined interval, oil should be changed every 50-100k km. These "gearboxes" tend to go bad in about 8 years if driven a lot without the oil changed. It just loses its properties from the heat cycling. People are saying that at 100k km the oil is already black and full of metallic sparkles. Also, the official interval for coolant is 200k km. That's straight from Nissan. It's in the Leaf's service manual. Just don't mess up your Leaf because of some uninformed decision.

4:00 M-powered macs are awesome; they do things no other laptop can do. But I just can't forgive the egregious sin of forcing the customer to pay $200 for 8gb more of ram. People say that the 8gb of ram is enough given the M chips' efficiency, but it's not. Even with the M chips 8 gb is not enough. It's not. And $800 for 2TB of storage, jeez.
@sylfrear20 күн бұрын
the ram is somewhat justified (maybe not $200 but it makes sense for it to be more expensive) because it’s a completely different type of ram architecture than what you’re used to on x86 machines, storage prices are ridiculous though

Changed it and it never had a problem again after that. I beat it up as a teen and drove it across the US to move… Currently my ‘13 AC doesn’t work, stereo touchscreen and buttons work rarely, one wheel always needs to be refilled. The person I sold the ‘04 to wrecked it in a DUI a couple months after. Such a shame.

I seem to remember there being an enclosure for coolant, but AFAIK, there's no oil. Not sure if there's any maintenance schedule for that, or if it's meant to be run until some part of the loop fails (o-rings, tubing, etc.) I believe most electric motors are completely maintenance-free though. You will often find the motor controller needs to be actively cooled, and sometimes the charging system -- and in some cases, the batteries themselves -- do too. That said, ICE cars also require coolant systems, and I will take flushing a coolant system over changing the oil ANY day.

In economics and industrial design, planned obsolescence (also called built-in obsolescence or premature obsolescence) is the concept of policies planning or designing a product with an artificially limited useful life or a purposely frail design, so that it becomes obsolete after a certain predetermined period of time upon which it decrementally functions or suddenly ceases to function, or might be perceived as unfashionable. The rationale behind this strategy is to generate long-term sales volume by reducing the time between repeat purchases (referred to as "shortening the replacement cycle"). It is the deliberate shortening of the lifespan of a product to force people to purchase functional replacements. (from Wikipedia)
