You’re missing the forest for the trees, but ok.

Except that something being profitable doesn’t make it any more or less embarrasing. e.g. Landlords make lots of money yet we all hate them.

Again, the most common problem in those cases are crappy drivers/fan curves. I have a laptop with W11 on it and fix/maintain laptops for friends as well and this is not an issue with any of them. The only time I had this problem was with a specific laptop.

Honestly, of all of the things you could criticize about windows (and there are lots), this is the one thing that is simply not an inherent OS problem.

Exactly this. I used to have an HP Omen 15 laptop with a 10th gen H variant i7 cpu that would constantly make a noticeable fan noise and would ramp up and down for no reason but the problem was the laptop. Everyone complained about it. The current one is an Omen 16 and it doesn’t have that problem at all. Even when gaming.

I don’t get why people exaggerate this much. I have a laptop with a 7840hs and 32gb of ram so it’s also “overpowered” but it’s whisper quiet and consumes 30-45w while doing simple tasks. Consumption only increases if I’m running code, playing games, etc which makes total sense.

Windows is not a well optimized os and the telemetry sucks but you’re just flat out lying with your claims. It’s either that or your laptop has the worst possible cooling.

In what sense? I haven’t seen that one.

They didn’t even correct it this time, so I’m not keeping my hopes up.

You’re missing the forest for the trees. It’s one thing to have your phone stole but it’s another completely and unrelated thing to have someone force you to do something on your phone at gunpoint.

How the hell is any type of security system ever going to be able to help you in the scenario you described?

In case you don’t know what your type of comment is called, it’s “moving the goalpost”.

There’s a significant difference between your phone being stolen and this random scenario you just made up.

you don’t need permission from the company to model your own replacement parts. It’s nice if they provide the models but it’s not necessary.

That may be true from your perspective but it was not my intention. If you make a small effort, you might see that you too can misunderstand someone else’s words.

what was the purpose of your statement?

To point out (what I thought was) a needlessly condescending response.

Your statement lacked context.

It did not. I think it was quite clear how I interpreted the comment I replied to. I mean, you got it. Even if you disagreed.

I rely more heavily on context to fill in the gaps in my knowledge

Again, I was not lacking context. Having “context” doesn’t mean that a sentence does not negate the fact that a sentence can still be ambiguous. I think this is perfectly exemplified in this thread.

My point stands. People are way too eager to be aggressive/mock other people when they get the chance instead of considering that the other person might A) just have a different opinion or B) they misunderstood something. When I first started using Lemmy this did not happen so it’s a shame that it seems to be attracting the same crowd that made virtual interaction so unappealing in Reddit.

I really don’t see how “lol” would mean that in this context but ok. Even with the context to me I was more like “idc” or “this isn’t important”. I mean, if they wanted to say “whoops”, they could’ve said “whoops”.

Could I be the one that misinterpreted what they intended to say? Of course, I’m not a native speaker and (being the human that I am) I can make mistakes. However, the general response seems to be more aggressive than communicative, which is one of the reasons why I started to really dislike Reddit and the interactions on that platform.

implying some form of wrongdoing?

Well, it kind of is. It basically equates to saying “whatever” or “who cares” when I’m pretty sure the author of the comic would care. They could’ve just said “my bad, just fixed it” and that’s it. But no, they made the conscious effort to communicate that, even though they fixed it, they don’t really care about it. Which is, in my opinion, kind of a condescending/patronizing/childish/petty/douchey/whateveryouwanttocallit thing to do.

But hey, fuck me, right?

Not really, just that they could have omitted the “lol” to sound a bit less douchey.

“Lol”

For a moment there I thought you were talking about PC.

There’s no joke. People seem to enjoy feeling either superior or outraged or both and the name of the game is user engagement. That’s how you end up with this type of thing.
