MKBHD saying that the rule number 1 is never sell something that people get for free...and then launching THAT

[@awesomeferret]

He's too smart to actually take that saying seriously though. If "never sell anything people can get for free" was actually a sensible thing to say, then nobody would ever buy video editing software, audio editing software, office suites etc (pretty much any kind of PC software that isn't a video game or highly niche). You and MKBHD somehow forgot that open source software is a thing, and the vast vast VAST majority of people buy things they can get for free all the time.

[@RyanREAX]

[@LifeAquaticSteveZissou]

Everyone needs to stop calling it a trifold. It folds twice, not thrice. It's a bifold.

[@ringringbananarchy]

​@@LifeAquaticSteveZissouif it folds into two pieces we call it bifold, three we call it trifold. We have been using this same terminology for wallets for your lifetime. Also room-separating wall panels, poster boards, etc.

[@EricLing64]

In theory it is, but I don't think the screen material is durable enough for long term ownership, probably. Not that I have had any experience with any folding phones. I believe tests have shown fingernails are enough to begin to scratch them, which is not much, and for some of us that have naturally long nails it's an absolute no, hard glass screens only. Making the screen an even bigger vulnerability while still being of the same kind of material was always going to end poorly.

[@339blackdiamond]

​@@EricLing64 from my experience, the utg will end up cracking if you live in a climate where you get snow half the year. The temperature change when you use it outside, and then go inside. It's just not good for it. My zfold 2 utg cracked all along the seem. It's subtle enough, you feel it if you pass your finger on top, and luckly, it hasn't affected the actual display. But yeah. Plastic screen will end up breaking even if you take care of it. Great.

Guess it's not new tech, more a failed update. A spectacular failure like the Cybertruck and Roboven.

[@GameOn0827]

Crowdstrike and Jia Tan were the legit biggest fails, but only for those paying attention. Hard to compare the failures of Apple to the near complete breakdown and infiltration of the world's digital infrastructure.

Those MKBHD fails just made me really look down on him as a person. The wallpapers app is just... abusive. It's nothing but a cheap cash grab filled with evil and greedy intentions. Marques Brownlee is a nasty piece of work if you think about it, endangering children while trying to rip off naive people with the wallpapers app. Big yikes.

[@UzumakiNaruto_]

Mehhh. He put out an app which no one was forced to buy. What's the big deal? If you're a fan and thought his app was good or you just wanted to buy it to support him then go ahead. If you thought it was a ripoff then don't buy it. Its no different than the thousands of other apps in the Apple or Play store that you can choose to buy or not buy. Only difference is this one is endorsed by a well known KZbinr.

hey windows has deleted the control panel before in windows 8..it was so bad they litterally had to produce a whole new version that restored the control panel in windows 8.1 so I suspect the control will be back soon enough.

Not spectacular, but Apple's decision to locate the power button on the bottom of the mac mini fits into the Really? REALLY? catagory.

[@darwiniandude]

I never (well, exceptionally rarely) use the power button on Mac Studio. I just have it set to start up after a power failure. If it's connected to power, it's on.

I'm done with Microsoft and google altogether. Eff em both.

[@keithbrown7685]

They both got big and unweildy and blurry of vision. Google, once the standard bearer of "don't be evil" has become a monster. MS doesn't know what to do with Win11, what it should be, where it should go-- and everyone's confused about the interface. I know I am. My question is always 'where is everything, where are my files, why doesn't (this command) work anymore. I spent more time babysitting the OS than actually getting stuff done. I'm back here on Win7, which is a danger in its own right. But where does a person go? The only flavor of Linux I can deal with, is Android. And I want nothing to do with Apple. Oh well. Happy 2025!
