why do cordless vacuums still suck?

>>107633955
Most vapes on the market are manifold more damaging than cigarettes.
On no-name brands, esp. the stuff imported from countries without scrupulus such as China, concentration of additives is often times completely out of whack wrt safety standards and swings drastically - which can lead to trivial and arbitrary fatal overdosage.
>>
>>107630202
>why do cordless vacuums still suck?
because a real vacuum runs on 1200watts while the best cordless, on ((((high)))) power can maybe do 500 watts for 5 minutes.

lmk when they make 1kw cordless vacuum with a 20 minute run time.
also, lmk when they make a proper press fit fitting and not those retarded clip in fittings.

>why do every consumer-grade vacuums still suck?
ftfy
it's on purpose, just buy professional-grade vacuums, they cost less and perform infinitely better while not looking gay as fuck.
I was on the market for a vacuum nearly a decade ago and noped the fuck out the vacuum alley when I saw the eurokistan pricing for these things who won't last more than the warranty period.
also dyson is pure garbage, shit quality for piss-poor performance, you're buying a stylish product, not a functional one, it's like the iphone of vacuums, you're not really suppose to be use it, it's so people who come to your house can see it.
>>107630602
>if you go corded, they're underpowered and you constantly have to change bags
lmao what? these things have nothing to do with being corded or not.
>filter is clogged, so you're now constantly cleaning your filter
get it out, clean it and put it back, as simple as... hardware require maintenance, that's a fact of life.
>Maybe a really pro-tier one with cyclone and autoclean is better, but fuck spending 1k for a vacuum!
a cheap karcher wd2+ is 50€ and will outperform and outlive EVERY SINGLE consumer-grade vacuum on the market. it's also very easy to repair and maintain if needed.
>And "robots"?
utter dogshit, every single one of them, don't ever buy this shit.

>Glosst looks way better.
any dark scene and you see your fucking face, any object visible in the reflection is a distraction, glossy can look better in real life, it's incredibly distracting.
Id take a slighly performance hit for not having to care about reflections.
I nearly left a job once because I had to use two glossy monitors, I had to switch to light themes for everything as with my usually dark theme it was like I was looking at a fucking mirror, it's incredibly distracting even if my face is very pretty (according to my mom anyway).
I ended up bringing my own monitors after IT denied my ticket to change them by something else, it was just too impossible to work with.
>>107634877
absolutely this, I've seen normies going batshit crazy because of the glossy monitor... these things should not exist, it's okay for smartphones and tablets, that's it

also why do you care so much about color acuracy when the only persons on this planet that can watch your content as the gods intended are the american boomers with 100k theater setup? it's worthless, the average person still look at 360/480 pixel vomit on their 1080p and higher monitors so...

Because retards are obsessed with obsolete handheld controllers, VR support in 3D games is lacking and the path towards removing functionality is the most streamlined due to a decade of the forced Xinput meme.
For most 2D games an arcade style controller is optimal and everyone has deluded themselves into thinking that dpads are good, because it has been on so much handheld Nintendo ewaste.
For most 3D games a mouse and keyboard would be optimal, but support for optimal control configuration is generally lacking. VR has potential, but there is a limit to what mods can do.

I look forward to the Steam controller 2, mostly just to fuck with it.

This is like asking how using Kodi/XBMC is better than vlc. One is a couch/TV friendly UX.

We used to use Faststone to review pictures on the tv, but it's UI is very complex, lots of different subwindows, lots of menus and tiny icons, janky & different key controls with videos, just nagging stuff like that.

I wrote this to be a 10ft UI (auto hiding control bar). All options on home screen, such as auto advance.

>>107634504
right, i guess i find it completely useless because that's not how i take and clean up photos

i always take multiple consecutive photos ("duplicates") and then later pick one that technically turned out the best and delete the rest
this requires sometimes going back and forth, comparing etc

i thought this was the point, not just to delete photos you don't like from the album
>>
>>107634837
We do it by either giving things a yes, no, or not sure. Than we do a second (or third) round clicking on the "Unsure" filter, just to see those. So we do go back and forth between those quickly. And I emphasize "we" because it's a family affair, all sharing the TV.

And I don't physically move or delete anything until days or weeks after we reviewed them all.

Thanks for the feedback.

ITT we share helpful firefox user_prefs that make it better. I'll start.

user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.warning.timeout", 0);

This removes the annoying banner saying press ESC to exit fullscreen every time you fullscreen a yt video.

user_pref("media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.has-used", true);
user_pref("browser.engagement.downloads-button.has-used", true);

With this in your user.js before you open the browser it won't popup instructions on obvious features. I have a pretty big user.js based on betterfox that disables telemetry and toggles all the settings the way I like them so it's completely configured on install without doing anything, and then I've added a bunch of minor quality of life conveniences like these. Share yours anons.
