  • Yup, and you’ll see the idiots I droves coke to defend it, too - “but the water resistance!” As if they’re swimming with their phone or something. The S5 was fine for using in the rain and getting splashed.

    When they removed SD cards from the more recent phones, the idiots were out there in droves telling me how nobody uses SD cards but me. Crazy what some people are willing to store on somebody else’s computer, and how much people are willing to over-pay for storage. Absolutely wild.

    Nope, in fact I got good at IT shit because it seldom worked and I had to do the work of troubleshooting and figuring things out. And times were better because we had that ability.

    There’s been this stupid drive of “user friendliness” = removing useful power features from software.

    Now everybody just expects things to work, and they don’t care about having any ability to learn about it or fix it, and we’re all paying for it. Things are likely getting shittier over time specifically because of people refusing to learn and accepting “If it doesn’t work, I guess I need to buy a new thing”. Fuck that line of thinking - if it’s digital, it can be done eventually. It’s just a case of figuring out how, or waiting a bit for hardware to get to the point where it can be done.
