  • That’s the problem with how most things Lennart designs are. They are typically 70-80 percent excellent ideas brilliantly architected, 10-20 percent decisions that we can agree to disagree on but well designed still, and ~10 percent horrifically bad ideas that he is unable to receive criticism on because of his standing, terrible attitude and ~90 percent good and acceptable ideas.

    Another problem is that they all seem to be designed in a way that they are the One True Way to do something and are designed to choke out any alternatives because Lennart Knows Best.

    I’m still ambivalent about having this much extra logic and complexity attached to my init system but the ship sailed long ago and I’m well into making lemonade at this point.










  • Sometimes occasionally but they’re probably never going to be cheap. Too hard/expensive to manufacture which is why folks like Samsung keep trying really hard with quantum dot LED panels.

    That being said, I regret nothing about purchasing my LG C9 OLED TV a couple years ago. Works fantastic, looks fantastic and I pretty much never use the built in UI for anything by going to a Nvidia Shield for my content/streaming needs. I think the LG C series does an excellent job and it occasionally goes on sale during holidays/Black Friday.








  • Right which is what’s going on here. HP instant ink will let you cancel at any point and then it’s good through the end of the billing period. I hate the waste that’s being generated here and HP is anti consumer as hell.

    I’d be a lot less salty about it if the original cartridge could revert back. On the other hand I understand the bricking of the cartridge If you’ve used enough ink that you’re into your second cartridge.

    I think a lot of this could have been avoided if the business decisions behind how instant ink is marketed were less consumer hostile. I’m still baffled that they don’t give you the option to buy out the remaining prints in your cartridge when you terminate instant ink. Seems like easy money that would help this feel less anti consumer.


  • I have fun like this with my M1 Mac Mini. They refuse to put HDMI 2.1 on anything other than their buy up options so 4k60 HDR just isn’t happening well. There have been a couple of adapters that will allow you to do so on a Mac mini but they’ve been “revised” shortly after the discovery to prevent it. I’d buy an M2 mini for my entertainment center but I’m not spending 4 figures on a media center/emulation PC lol
