What more elaboration could possibly be needed?

Well then take some drugs, as prescribed, because you’re borderline psychotic my friend

Fuck right the fuck off lol

I think you’re forgetting that 90% of developers are barely competent at best.

If this upsets the reader and reader’s a dev, remember I’m talking about the other people not you =)

I’ll take 10 of whatever you’re smoking because it’s obviously the good shit

Thanks

Wow you totally reminded me of this building I managed several years back now, and they all had washing machines with that only filled a few inches, maybe 8 at most.

It was explained to me by my appliance tech, perhaps he’s not entirely correct on somebody may inform me better… But he said they were built to some water savings standard from california, and rather than making different models for different markets, they just foisted the low water ones on people.

I remember endless grieving from residents. I also remember a very common complaint of the person above them using their washing machine for 9 hours a day. Well fucking yeah, try having two working parents and three kids and seeing how much laundry you can get done in those pieces of shit!

Yeah but it the scheme of life you’re not out much.

I used to repair/rebuild TVs as part of my side hustle and I can absolutely confirm Hisense are the worst for parts, and no they don’t sell them! But also think about it… they’re shit products and the capacitors on the inverters burst constantly. You’d get another year before the replacement went byebye so really? Some products you just want out of your life. If it helps you feel better.

Hisense are just disposable TVs. It’s hard for me to accept that’s how ridiculous it’s gotten with the churn of tech and gadgets.

Holy moly the stories I could tell you about how repair un-friendly they purposely make TVs… but I don’t want to get myself all wound up lol

it’s by law

Where?

This is long in the past so I’m not coming at you but for others reading this, most credit cards give you an extra year warranty on top of manufacturers.

It wouldn’t install on an all-in-one PC I was selling, until I clicked the bypass options (RAM, TPM, etc) in Rufus

I had to use a link shortener because the N word is rightfully scrubbed and can’t be posted in my comment or link.

The title is supposed to shock you. Jerry Farber was the real deal and a hardcore antiestablishmentarian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Farber

Guys I discovered a hidden microphone in my headphones speaker!!!

I mean it’s not that sinister.

It’s just not impressive in the slightest. Like, we still use lookup tables for trigonometry functions

Guys it’s a lookup table. Whoop de fucking do.

I’m not condemning the person I haven’t watched.

But I don’t need a 41 minute video that sounds like he just expounds personal opinions and is not really meritorious.

I follow this stuff, I have for 30 plus years.

If he didn’t heavily focus on extended warranties, he’s in the weeds.

And I see no evidence from what people are discussing here that he clues in on that.

I haven’t watched this video, but based on your comment I don’t think I’ll bother.

It is my sincere understanding that the degradation of quality is from the companies trying to leverage extended warranties as the true profit center of appliances.

edit: I should add in more detail. Sorry Avid, not trying to converse “around” you, it’s just meant to inform other’s on how I come to think this way.

The shit really hit the fan for quality when Maytag/Whirlpool bought Amana and restructured. They closed most of their manufacturing and consolidated. Really this meant that for all the “banners” or “brands” that various machines were sold under in the various stores, now for the most part they were all the exact same machines, literally made in the same plants, same pumps, elements, controllers, you get the picture. The drop in quality was precipitous from this point.

Oh, and Haier was trying to purchase either Amana or Whirlpool, can’t remember which. But at any rate Haier was in the game walking the dog on consumers as well. Samsung, who had absolutely no fucking business making appliances, then jumped hard into the game because they’re a major competitor. Businesses playing shell games and strategically competing.

All of this dovetailed with the larger industry-wide push to embrace the “extended warranty” profit stream. Companies everywhere were figuring out that the money was flowing like water with this scam. This slowly evolved into a quasi-subscription type business model where they are now designed and expected to fail in a specific time frame. Circuit boards by steam vents, changing key components to aluminum which corrodes. That type of obvious bullshit.

I think now they’ve got us by the nut sack. Buying an EW is almost automatic at this point. Nobody thinks for a second that their device is going to hit 18 months without a major malfunction.

They’ve managed to turn buying a washing machine into a Vegas Hotel type situation where the up front price is $47 but in the forensic accounting you’re paying $160.

What’s it like being an amateur that is so clueless you actually think you have any capacity to analyze what is good, better, best for coding?

What’s it like working in a field where you are completely incompetent?

Love how you just completely skipped over the entire thrust of the comment and then churned out some blithe remark.
