This was my first thought: when will we get an arm based framework laptop?

I would immediately leave and get as far away from my home as possible, since that’s where they’re coming to look for me.

There’s a reason that your instance (and others) has defederated from hexbear.

i don’t think hexbear is a good sample group for the average lemmy user nor representative of lemmy users a whole. you might do better sampling lemmy.world, or assembling a meta poll from the top 5 or top 10 instances.

Haiku - based on BeOS

“inspired by” would be more accurate. there’s no original BeOS code in Haiku for legal reasons (other than the interface, which was open-sourced with the release of BeOS 5). All backwards-compatibility with original BeOS software is (impressively) reverse-engineered. Haiku OS is, itself, original software made to - in every way - look, feel, and operate just like BeOS did.

edit: i had a buddy in high school who had a BeBox. it was like having the best of a Mac and a PC in one machine. it really was a spectacular machine and OS. i really wish Apple had picked it up, but they went with NeXTSTEP instead, which, i admit, was still a pretty solid choice.

Back in the day, you needed a floppy drive to boot from a CD ROM (or a special reboot command). It wasn’t until a new BIOS firmware came out that allowed you to boot from CD ROM.

my cat Holy Lord Emperor Finley the Magnificent and Soft wants to know wtf you mean by “once”?

Great. Now it can quote Hitler in the original German.

pretty, but mid-air projection holography is still just smoke & mirrors (literally).

oh, i also suggest Electrolux. they’re great. i especially like to offer their laundry machines as an alternative to the more complicated LGs. electrolux machines are very simple, and they have great warranties.

Bosch is overpriced. nice, but far too expensive here.

i’m not sure that i agree with this at all. Microsoft, itself, has been having issues lately, and i don’t think this is a Bing vs Google search thing. But i believe those issues are temporary.

Overall, the direction that Google is taking with its search engine is probably a bigger threat to Google, considering, i suspect, people really aren’t going to like it.

When their refrigerators have AI that scans everything you put into the refrigerator and then makes suggestions to you without asking first and table screen that hardly work and go obsolete in a year, yeah, I call that unnecessary tech. No other refrigerator does that.

How old is this appliance? And what do you mean by constantly?

This was especially true until 2016 when Haier bought a majority share in the appliances division of GE. After then, the quality has seriously improved, and so has their customer service. The customer I’ve had so far have definitely liked them and not had any problems with them at all.

Have they? I’d like to hear some more information about that, especially if you have any links.

Although GE has delivered one or two problematic appliances, overall the customers I’ve had have had pretty great experiences with them, especially since higher bought majority share from them. Overall, I haven’t heard any complaints aside from teeny weenie ones. But I’ll keep My ears open.

as an appliance salesperson at a well-known home-improvement retailer, i do just about whatever i can to stop people from buying Samsung appliances. They’re garbage. They overstuff their appliances with way too much unnecessary tech that nobody wants, and in order to keep the costs from being astronomical, they cut on build quality. Countless customers come in to replace Samsung appliances that failed far before their expected lifespan, often breaking within the first few years.

you want reliable? go with LG or GE. Whirlpool is also pretty decent.

Just the best that they could get
