Is that Immortal from the future? I've only seen the show.
For sure, taking control away from the users is terrible and scummy, but I think it's an entirely different issue, covered by "right to repair". A very small amount of people had the know how and the confidence to perform the repairs themselves even before this anti consumer practices became so widespread, so I don't think it's a huge factor in decrease of skill. I would say a much bigger factor is the fact that technology has become exponentially more complex. You can't just open up a radio and replace a vacuum tube, everything is a microchip now, and the soldering iron isn't gonna help much there. I guess eventually we will reach technology complexity and abstraction of such a level that no single person can hold the knowledge to "fix" it on their own.
This is kind of like blaming car manufacturers for people not knowing how to drive manual and how cars work under the hood, because they made cars reliable and simple to use.
There's always an incentive to make things more accessible. Skills always become outdated because of that. How many of us know how to skin game and cook it on naked fire? Not many, I presume.
Chromebook for all its flaws and limitations still let children, who would not have otherwise used any computing device, at least use one.
Take into account that I have my linear algebra exam in a week and I merely hope to get a passing grade, but apparently, in the very least they are useful for solving systems of equations using very simple algorithm-based operations.
It's a running joke in the cartoon that people/animals keep calling Pumba a pig, he gets mad and insists he's "Mr. Pig".
Did you just call their mom a pig? It's Mr. Pig!
I'm under 35 and I was playing Prince of Persia on DOS first (in 93-94). Being born in a second world country has its... benefits(?)
I know that avatar cause that user works on Analogue Pocket FPGA cores.
Where's their dad's friend — Pumba?
Here's a lifehack:
- Quickly switch your gender to woman.
- Womansplain her everything that needs to be explained.
- (optional) Undo the gender switch.
That Firefox logo was simplified, but not oversimplified. Even with a very small icon size you can still tell it's a fox that is (on?) fire. The Firefox Family logo is oversimplified, just being a swoosh, basically.
Yes. So my guess is wrong?
