It's hilarious how transparent a money grab this entire thing is.

"You need to show a Real ID for security, otherwise how do we know you won't hijack the plane?"

"Well I don't have a Real ID."

"Ok then, give us $45 and you can go through."

So it was never about security at all then, was it?

And don't get me started with all the paid express security lanes. Because of course only poor people can weaponize shoes and laptops.

Let me just for one second give them the benefit of the doubt.

Could the $45 be a way to pay for some extra manual screening? Maybe? Or do they not deserve any benefit of the doubt.

this is pretty surprising. Didn't they spent a fortune on the camera tech for Amazon Go?

There are just fewer highly polished Android apps vs iOS apps, and that's why I switched to iOS.

I bought JuiceSSH years ago on Android and it worked great, but I agree it's degraded, and I couldn't find an equivalent I liked.

iOS has multiple apps that beat JuiceSSH. I use Termix and it's really, really good.

This is what I say a lot. Valve isn't even remotely close to having clean hands here. They invented loot crates. Hats. Etc.

It's just that the bar is so INSANELY low - it's probably somewhere deep in the earth's core at this point - that valve looks like a fucking angel by being only VAGUELY greedy on occasion.

When your competition is EA... it's not hard.

I have a super high opinion of Valve. Sure, they have loot crates. But sensible people don't buy them. I guess you could blame them for having it in the first place. That's fair I guess. But I've never for a second considered buying any of that junk.

I just buy single player offline games with no IAP, and Steam is amazing. It's a million miles ahead of the competitors, and it's really surprising that EA/Ubi etc.. try to compete but don't get the reason they're losing. They screw customers and then act surprised that customers hate them.

Do people hate LibreOffice that much?
awill · 3 months ago
yes. It's terrible. I can't believe it's taken this long to still be awful. The mix of Java. The awful UI. If you're on Mac/Windows, you should buy Office. And if you're on Linux, you should use OnlyOffice, or Google Docs

> Pricing model for a terminal. What a time to be alive.

As soon as they raised like 50M+ (why you'd ever need 50 million dollars to build a terminal—which have been essentially "solved" since the 1970s—is a pretty good question), this was bound to happen. Same nonsense will happen to Zed, etc.

awill · 3 months ago
Oh no. Did I miss something? Did Zed get a bunch of unnecessary funding that will force them to do some subscription we'll all hate?

From the specs it's very annoying this uses a mini-HDMI. There's room for a full HDMI port, and it's such a waste. We all have dozens of HDMI cables at home, but zero mini-HDMI.
