No, it’s far less common, not less rare.

Guests are during operating hours. Pests are for off-hours visitors.

Don’t literally make up excuses to act like a Karen. She made no mention of such an issue, and such an issue doesn’t have to be an immediate, “everyone needs to change what they’re doing for ME!” situation.

Yea, it’s not C that is crap, but that it has zero guard rails. Like blaming a knife for not having a guard… Is it a bad knife without a guard? Depends on how sharp it is. The guard is orthogonal to the knife’s purpose, but might still be important when the knife is used.

Just because something doesn’t help prevent accidents does not mean it cannot serve its actual purpose well, unless its actual purpose is safety.

Memory safe language that’s becoming viable … as a proper replacement of C.

There are many other memory safe languages out there. Just not ones most would like to pull in to the kernel…

I mean, it can absolutely work as a comeback, but it definitely shouldn’t be a default response.

You are the only one wasting time by giving dumbass avoidance advice instead of telling us what you know.

… What insider information do you have and why do you want to keep us ignorant???

The question was, “why is this a technical limitation?” Not, “what should I do to work around the limitation?”.

“… by the way, we’ve already sold that feature I made up to two customers, so …”

When reaching out to politicians, a MUCH better angle might be devices that get the same treatment, and then just make sure video games and other software get included.

Example: Fitbit and other purpose-built devices. A TON of functionality goes down when they shutter their servers. To the point where some devices immediately become e-waste.

These companies are literally producing toxic garbage.

Like I said, assume they’re ALL just dumb greedy suits at your own peril.

It does affect tgem. Why do you think companies insist on enshittification? They’re not ALL just greedy fucking suits.

They get burned by making shitty decisions, so why are you deciding to turn down the heat? Fucking pathetic.

Oh, it VERY much will hurt their sales, just not this quarter. Though in ten years when Nintendo is wondering why they’re struggling to grow a new fan base, they might remember all the people they pissed off who now are not introducing their children to Nintendo.

The only problem the Luddites had is they went and busted the machines instead of the rich owners’ kneecaps.

If you say, “they did that too!” Well, NOT ENOUGH!!

it makes it more ridiculous that people who don’t like this kind of behavior support nintendo at all.

Ouch, non-standard plug for a standard power source? That’s almost worse. If only certain insanely rich companies didn’t do it as a standard practice even after the EU tells them to knock it off…

Remember the good ol’ days where it was barrel jacks or raw terminals regardless of what the device actually worked with?

ahhh, those were the days … of easily breaking things.

Make sure the voltage and power requirements are the same. Maybe the old one cannot deliver enough juice for the new one.

That’s one reason a lot of device designers go for USB C proper: it supports multiple voltages and multiple power levels, and in a way where the devices shouldn’t be able to pull too much power from a smaller charger. (assuming they implemented the spec and didn’t just use the plug anyways) In theory, one smart charger with enough oomph could charge anything that sticks to spec up to 240W.

… getting most of my apps through snap…

You poor soul.

While you’re trying to be smart, maybe THINK about what you’re saying.

“Your approach is obnoxious…” Oh, I’m sorry, so we shouldn’t offer help because it doesn’t affect a majority and it’s annoying to some?

You and everyone who upvoted you is pathetic and incapable of empathy. Shame on you and everyone who agrees. It was “annoying” to some when black people could use the same water fountain.

“Annoying minorities” should NEVER be the bar for what society does or does not do. That’s judgemental and pathetic. Again, shame on you and everyone who agrees.
