Are washing machines super-difficult to get right? Why the fuck does every fucking machine break in a couple of years? Samshit, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, all A SHIT.r*ddit tells me to never by a samshit, which I think is good advice. But what should I buy instead? My current LG has gone tits up again, the stupid control board keeps going on the fritz.
Whatever you do, don't buy this pile of shit from Amana. I never thought I could hate a washing machine as much as this cursed thing.
>>106872985This. They're designing things to break and be unfixable. It's not even to save money. Eg. they weld together the two halves of the drum.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=138S0rSbZ10
>>106872900>Why the fuck does every fucking machine break in a couple of years? most die sooner.and that's by design. welcome to 21st century newfriend. it'll only get worse going forward.
>>106873308But for the same reason you can't get a custom built pancake motor for the GNU/washing machine. (Nor a drum - it would need sheet metal manufacturing skills, or pulling apart an existing machine to assemble so lol no.)And a VFD is a fancy name of a PWM drive + inverter. Probably in AC-AC it's dime a dozen, but with modern drone and ebike tech, running a DC bus to everything but the heating elements (and evben there) is far more worth it than running AC up and down.

Almost everyove knows that JPEG files can be encoded to enable several progressive steps of rendering, so that the incomplete file on its early stages of downloading is seen as blurry.When the information of luminosity comes before the colors, such early image can also be decoded as gray or greenish (see the attached PNG; see also https://cloudinary.com/blog/progressive_jpegs_and_green_martians for the explanation). Modern versions of web browsers actually avoid this weird colours by suppressing decoding until both colour components arrive from the Web.When a JPEG is not progressive, it is designed to render from top to bottom.All that makes me think once again about the AVIF files.There are experiments of making them progressive (you can run “avifenc” with “--progressive”), but by default an AVIF is so much non-progressive that it does not render (even from top to bottom) until fully downloaded.But what if an incomplete AVIF were, in fact, rendered? What would we see then?Would the pixels come in the same “from top to bottom” order, but in blocks of different sizes?Would the pixels come in weird colours because the chroma comes after the luma?Comment too long.

>>106872911Interpolating frames would be million times heavier and would require external application. Encoded stream is compressed and why it's efficient - it's the same as an archive. If you mess up something in between it'll corrupt.

Didn't see a qtddtot.I bought a cheap second hand laptop (Dell XPS 15 9560 with a non-functional battery) for my cousin since his parents are fuck ups who pawned their computer for booze money. I've never opened a laptop before but I figured putting a new battery in can't be too hard. Anyway, this is what it looked like when I popped the back off.Am I right in assuming all that pinkish-grey stuff between the fans and the (I think) vents from the heatsink is dust that I can safely brush off with a toothbrush or pull away with a pair of tweezers?Right now my plan is brush away the worst of the dust then just blast the whole thing with a can of compressed air. Is there anything I should know before that? Any parts I should be careful of?Anything else worth doing before I hand the laptop over to him? There's some brown gunk that's hardened on the inside of the laptop case, maybe thermal paste? Don't know if that's worth replacing.
>>106872370>Use a soft clean brush and a vacuum cleanerabsolute pussy move. grab a lighter or a soldering machine and burn that shit out
Why bother when the parents will just instantly sell it for more booze money? Most functional wh*te family. India wins again saars

I've noticed this weird modern trend with games but especially with programs, where if it stops receiving updates then people abandon it.What causes this weird mindset of needing constant updates?
>>106869773reddit type mods collecting projects and probably putting maleare and nagware for free money

>>106869142Cool.But here, in the real world, there's actually a bunch of asshole running botnet campaigns, and actually probing your system for vulnerabilities.
>>106869100because things stop working Freetube stopped working for weeks but now it's back because of an updatethe days where old software just worked are long gone
>>106869100Others talk about things that break, but obviously there are old programs that still work perfectly 20 or 30 years later and they are also abandoned. I think that people want to believe that there is somebody on "the other side" that is their little slave and making their software work for them, and if it's clear that these "little people" are not there then the software feels dead to them.
we are so back. I never doubted.

What's the future of technology in the next 15 years? Privacy concerns aside, I don't want to live in a world where there are software updates for my fridge and car, will there be alternatives somehow?
because of vibe coding things will only get worse.more bugs, more updates, more workaround fixes that cause even more bugs.its over
>>106871288You never have to. You choose to use software that other people wrote cause it's more convenient than writing your own. Eventually you will have to solve your own problems if you want a proper solution.

Why did 4chanX suddenly stop working on Chrome?
Imagine using Chrome. Firefox does not have this problem.>but i need to use Chrome for gmail and drive!!!You can go to gmail.com and drive.google.com just fine in Firefox. There is nothing you can't do (that people ACTUALLY do) in Firefox.
>>106871854>i need to sync my bookmarks and web history!!!!Oh, well thank goodness Firefox has that too.
>>106868049when the extension worked i could see my replies and watched threads in incognito but with tampermonkey it resets which you'd think would be a good thing for incognito but i dont like it
