I'm learning Kotlin and Android Studio and for that I'm developing a very simple CRUD App. I used sonet 3.5 and was impressed when it developed the XML file, mainactivity, added internet access permits and wrote the restful API in PHP for XAMPP. It compiled at the first try, but for the life of me I can't find why the restful API keeps returning a 405 error. And I'm a seasoned programmer in C, C++, phyton and XAMPP! It was, at the same time, impressive and extremely frustrating.

Sony understands only one language... MONEY. I stopped buying their products since they installed a root kit decades ago in my computer to prevent it from ripping my legally bought CDs to my computer. I had to reinstall windows to get rid of that virus. Never again! And all my electronics were Sony back then

Life begins at conception or it doesn't. There is no IVF without murder if life begins at conception.

Does anybody know what is the legal option we have when having to put up with an asshole like this one?

Has anybody thought about making flying a good experience? I used to travel a lot before 9/11, after that it was once or twice a year and mostly one or two weeks, then COVID hit and everything stopped. After COVID, every trip has been a nightmare where absolutely no one is responsible for anything. Traveling is not for me anymore. Maybe in the not so distant future it will get better.

Fucking Adobe was the first one to rent their suit of applications. It has been downhill from there, even smartphone apps want to rent access these days.

Because that interview is for investors. He's looking out for the shares price, not his customers. We can always buy other products, like Canon or Epson. It's too bad because HP printers are the best, but not enough to let us be robbed like other brands.

In the US it is common to have an amenities fee that you will only know, in most cases, the day of your check in. The fee applies whether you use the amenities or not.

Get ready for a CPU that costs 1/10 of an AMD CPU!

I had a Samsung dishwasher that I dumped after just 4 years because it kept breaking every 6 to 12 months. I also have a fridge that is 8 years old that cost me an arm and a leg from Samsung and I need to keep fixing it every couple of years and have given up on fixing the ice maker. Also just dispossessed of a washing machine last month from, you guessed, Samsung because the mother board fried and they don't sell it anymore, it was 6 years old. I still have a curved LED 85" TV that some how broke in the corner, for fucks sake, it's made of aluminum! Not only that, the smart TV menus are infected with ads everywhere. Why the hell did that happen? It was a very expensive TV when I bought it. I have a few Hisense TVs and they last years and are ridiculously cheap. Samsung has a beautiful design but all their products are just plain crap with planned obsolescence. Never again will I buy a Samsung home appliance.

You might have problems with your insulin levels, better check with the doctor.

Dig never died. We still moved to Reddit. What calls my attention is that most of us left Reddit when they changed the site UI combined with their insistance on banning people posting the Blue ray decoding key. Reddit has been way worst recently so my guess is that Lemmy is maturing enough to lure all those not happy with Reddit.

The real question here is where are the Chinese printers?! I mean, it's a big market, why aren't they getting into it?

Companies will charge as much as elasticity will allow them. Customers will always find the best cost / benefit relationship to maximize their limited resources.

The new technologies will make entertainment creation a lot cheaper, we might see an important decline in prices in the next few years.

You can always reinstall windows

They didn't do a bad job. The problem is that they were a bunch of fucking pussies!

Well, I can, at least, choose who will spy on me. It's either the US or the Chinese, everyone should try and find out which one is the lesser evil in their particular country and position.

The only reason I'm still on windows is because of Microsoft Access.

Well, that explains a lot. Samsung is in bed with telcos.

I heard the same argument from IBM and HP when they started producing Servers, desktop computers and laptops, amongst many industries. With the new laws affecting the procurement of high end chips for China the motivation is very big to develop their own high end chip manufacturing machines.

But I would think TVs and microchips are more complicated than printers. And those two have been cracked by the Chinese.

Yes, Just like those awful iphones they also make.

No, but I have seen absolutely impressive Huawei and Xiaomi Android phones.

While this is possible for a couple of years, it is definitely not sustainable in the middle term. If that was true, then Ericsson and Blackberry would still have the biggest market cap in smartphones and GM, Ford and Chrysler would be the biggest car companies in the world.

You are wrong about that, if anyone is a prison it is the US, the country with the largest prison population in the world.

As always, most of the world is not doing better, but some of it is doing great. I choose to be part of the latter and be an architect of the future regardless of how big or small my contribution will be.

The same arguments were made in the 80s when products like Adobe appeared in the design market. Capitalism is about survival of the fittest whether we like it or not, and AI is a tremendous advantage.

From the moment China was banned I knew without a doubt that we will get very cheap CPU and GPU chips in the near future.

Where I live an SUV is a must or everybody will bully you in the road. Public transportation drivers are just bad people here.

I agree, I just block every sublemmy that is for talking about Reddit, good or bad. And users that frequently do it as well.

Maybe people are just tired of movies about race, sexual preferences and gender plastered everywhere without context and just want to see an interesting story. It used to be like that with movies like toy story, the first couple, and monsters inc.

Please! We can't predict the weather for tomorrow with enough certainty and you want me to believe that we know how it will behave for the next 250 million years?!

The climate change has become the new CP go to argument to condone the stupidest reasoning. Just like blocking Torrent sites to prevent CP, let's block AI to prevent climate change.

If you become less productive than China then they get the market. You want to fix the problem by making US business owners to pay up, but capital has no nationality. If you succeed then you have to accept that there is no way for the US to have such a big military complex and it's time to let China be the world's super power.

People will buy the cheapest product that meets their needs. A business not using AI as much as possible is in a disadvantage.

That's bullshit! The most advanced technology ever developed by mankind and the most expensive to develop is AI. And I can pay Open AI 20 bucks a month to hire what is basically a human in the 10th too percentile for 20 bucks.

The only difference is the elasticity of the market. If I need your fucking drug and you have a patent then I will have to give you all I have so I don't die.

The healthcare system in the US is just fucked up.
