In the end it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that what I get as a result is relevant. No ads, no 3rd party interests, easy filters, customizable and useful output.

Your confusing them with Bostown Dynamics. Understandable mistake.

Spinning platters are already dead in many ways because even though they’ve increased in capacity, they haven’t meanigfully changed read/write speeds in decades, which makes moving the ever increasing data a huge pain.

Visualizing it like this makes it so clear how incredibly outdated this design is.

In telegram nothing is e2e encrypted unless you specifically ask it to be and when you do, it kills all the functionality that makes it better than others.

The title promises so much, but OP’s dog ate the homework and there’s barely anything he can show us.

Yeah exactly. No wonder people use tiktok to look up stuff these days. At least there you have actual humans sharing their knowledge.

That’s the point I’m reaching as well. The internet as a mass of disconnected sites feels dead. Any attempt to look up information goes to pages that follow the same formula and feel very AI generated even with errors and unconsistencies typical for AI. What is the point of the open net anymore? The only value I feel like I’m getting is in specific trusted platforms or sites. It’s a sad state that we’ve reached.

What is that magic number?

They block pop-up windows but now website designers have discovered they can just do soft pop-ups. The worst websites have at least 3, the cookie wall, the newsletter and some pay wall or offer, often overlapping.

Nebula has some of the better creators anyway.

I have premium and still use it just for this.

Giving it a whirl right now. Thanks for the recommendation.

That was 15 years ago.

Don’t use it if you don’t like it, but don’t give this bullshit Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda control of something just because you don’t like it.

It’s just as bad or good as any other algorithm based content app like Facebook or Instagram. If we have a problem with privacy for example then go after that like with gdpr.

Thanks MKBHD for not sucking corporate dick and actually showing issues with products and helping people make informed decisions on their purchases, right?

I’m sorry to be that guy but I’m genuinely curious. Source?

If I can’t notice a difference while playing games, web browsing, video and photo editing, and working in blender and cad software, what is left to define slow operation? It operating slow should be something noticeable for it to be an issue.

It used to be a problem in windows 98 days, I remember as much. And it is a problem on my work computer but that is day one config from the company, not over time degradation.

Like I said, I dislike windows and it’s dark pattern bullshit as much as the next guy, but performance has not been one of my issues with it on my personal devices.

That hasn’t really been my experience. The computers I own have had windows for multiple years. I tend to install it when first setting up and never again.

The work laptop has good specs but trash performance from day one that I got it. I had a laptop that I gave away that was much lower spec than the work laptop and it ran better in every way, probably because it had none of the bloat.

Windows in my opinion has huge issues in other areas but performance hasn’t been one of them in the last 15 years for me, probably in part because I avoid running any heavy services in the background.

I have that behavior as well, but it’s not a Windows issue, it’s all the bloat software that IT installed on it. It’s wild how much it kills this laptop compared to any other PC, not just in login times.
