My last experience with gopro was many years ago trying to get a firmware update for one of my hero 3’s. The download links for the firmware was there, but broken. It needed the attention of someone on their web management team.

I tried to get support via email but was told I had to go to the community forums for the issue. I found a thread of dozens of other users also pinging support and complaining of a broken link.

That thread went unanswered by support for months if not a year or two. I think it eventually got fixed, but it put such a bad taste in my mouth that so many people reported that their site was broken and they just ignored it. It was probably something simple like a bad character in the page code somewhere. I decided I wasn’t going to support this sort of behavior and have not spent any additional money with the company since then.

It’s no surprise to hear they’re struggling financially. When you cater to the premium market space, you have to provide premium service.

They always have a city hall. But never a city living room, or city kitchen.

Makes you wonder what they keep in the city basement.

LMAO his eyes are pointing in two different directions

That’s sort of what /all is. Unless you mean something like having a /lemmy community that discusses lemmy meta in general. Reddit actually had no communities / subreddits when it first started. That eventually turned into the /reddit subreddit as one of the many meta communties, which was then eventually set to read only, if memory serves.

I think this style platform has better engagement when a community has focus and direction, which is why you see smaller communities stay active and on topic here.

I don’t think there’s anything stopping anyone from undertaking the task of starting a general topic community, but on the same token, you need some direction and focus, otherwise it’s probably going to be a challenging mess, both in terms of content and engagement. This is where reddit subreddits, and ergo, lemmy communities, originally came from. Prior to subreddits, it was just one big posting board like /all, which eventually led to issues like spillage and brigading and private communities.

You have me laughing over here.

It’s more ergonomic for the reason that it’s an easier, more natural viewing angle that puts less strain or stress on the body to view/use it. You don’t necessarily have to agree with that, or yuck someone else’s yum. Most of your issues are preference.

Did you miss the part where I said I wasn’t a fan of the leather implementation? Because that would rule out most of those points.

Have an upvote for the effort, though!

While I’m not a fan of the leather implementation, I have to both agree that it’s a placement improvement in terms of ergonomics, and it does look pretty cool. I think it might wear out faster, being exposed to the gripping area of your palm, though. I’d expect it to be difficult to wash your hands or handle dirty/sharp items.

Ok, this is sick. Well done. I love how modular it is.

An attempt to make him accountable like every other president’s published tax returns before him. He does not let himself be held accountable for anything whatsoever.

Thanks for putting this up!

I keep buying motorolas because they’re rugged as fuck. I get a new one every 3-5 years. They’re all the same-ish these days, and rarely come with any sort of incentive or discount, so it doesn’t make sense to refesh too often. I try to get my money’s worth from my devices.

Can’t tell you how many samsungs my kids have broken, but both of their motos still work.

Every single one of my machines is set up to run metric so I don’t have to constantly convert 64’s and 8’s and thou’s fractional units between denominators, which is exactly why I’d rather type .0254mm than 1/1000. I absolutely cannot stand using different fractional denominators or that a foot is divided by 12, but everything else isn’t. You’ve probably used it for years and are used to it, but approaching it with a rational mind seems like unnecessary work and risk of miscalculation.

Every number I use can easily be interchanged for another unit.

I really want everyone to use the metric system. Imperial is just awful to use for most design and machine purposes.

5. I’d fit right in in more ways than one.

What happened to charging your device? We’re going backwards here…

I need to go squatchin’ with Mulder

This. NTFS is still the gold standard for stability. ReFS is meant for data ops, and while it’s fairly stable, and offers a lot of advantages, it’s not perfect and can suffer greatly if used incorrectly. Until the quirks are gone, users are probably better off with NTFS for a lot of reasons.
