They already had it and it was working just fine. They tore it down and went full coal and some gas. Now wind and solar are taking over slowly, but it's been years with more pollution and more radiation than any already working nuclear plant would have emmited.

I have the same impression after comparing it recently to Spotify. On Spotify there is no dislike button so I can't say, please don't play this song anymore, I can only ban the entire artist which is definitely not what I want and also not as easy to do. Then when it comes to generated playlist out of one song, the Spotify songs seem irrelevant to the song they start from, while the yt songs are at the very least in the same genre.

And the interface works fine, I'm never sure what people talk about when they say it's not good.

Thanks MKBHD for not sucking corporate dick and actually showing issues with products and helping people make informed decisions on their purchases, right?

I'm sorry to be that guy but I'm genuinely curious. Source?

Why does the mx ergo need software running? I've had it for two years with nothing installed and it works perfectly.

If I can't notice a difference while playing games, web browsing, video and photo editing, and working in blender and cad software, what is left to define slow operation? It operating slow should be something noticeable for it to be an issue.

It used to be a problem in windows 98 days, I remember as much. And it is a problem on my work computer but that is day one config from the company, not over time degradation.

Like I said, I dislike windows and it's dark pattern bullshit as much as the next guy, but performance has not been one of my issues with it on my personal devices.

That hasn't really been my experience. The computers I own have had windows for multiple years. I tend to install it when first setting up and never again.

The work laptop has good specs but trash performance from day one that I got it. I had a laptop that I gave away that was much lower spec than the work laptop and it ran better in every way, probably because it had none of the bloat.

Windows in my opinion has huge issues in other areas but performance hasn't been one of them in the last 15 years for me, probably in part because I avoid running any heavy services in the background.

I have that behavior as well, but it's not a Windows issue, it's all the bloat software that IT installed on it. It's wild how much it kills this laptop compared to any other PC, not just in login times.

If I understand correctly from the article this already happened 2 years ago, so shit can only get worse from there, because the past year has been breaking new records as well.

Wait, why would anyone have the right to free interpreters at any time? That sounds like such a waste of public resources and like you said, enables people to never even try to learn the language.

Thanos literally had the power to will any resource and reality into existence and he chose to destroy. Let's call it good intention, but idiotic and psychotic solution.

But that's what made him a good villan.
