When I was doing my shopping, LG and Maytag were trading places for most reliable

That is a very, very extensive “I have no clue what I’m talking about in this subject”

Maybe take 10 minutes to educate yourself before opening your mouth.

I use Versatile Thermostat and scheduler, for a basic control loop, and then use automations to overwrite target temps to versatile thermostat

Ie: normal temp is 20, but if only I am home, house temp is 18.

It’s almoast like they keep investing on bigger and bigger cars, instead of what the people want.

That’s how I feel about Canada allowing chinese car makers: if the Chinese EVs will serve the market out local companies repeatedly have failed to serve, then bring em in.

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of an analogy?

you’ve had to buy ‘extra stuff’ for decades. The TV is only half the equation.

Its buying a DSLR camera, and being upset it didn’t come with the best lens. It comes with one that works, but you arn’t going to have good results.

basically confirmed what i assumed (but we know how dangerous that is)

the news breaker got it mostly wrong, but of course the goverment isnt perfect.

Found the pedo!

Thanks!

I quit the big R when they killed third party apps.

Would have paid them a monthly fee to use my app,but the way they killed them really soured me on Reddit. Burned my account, and moved on

Beside the testimony of this one person, de we have any credible reasons to believe there is widescals fraud here?

Fraud absolutely does happen, and if it’s real it needs to be caught, but there are also anti-fraud fraudsters

Just unsubscribed from duo, after a 1500 day streak, and 8 years being a paid member

Sent them this email

Just reaching out to let you know why, after years of subscription and a 1500 day streak, why I finally intentionally broke my streak and unsubscribed

I joined early on, like 10+ years ago, and loved the weirdness of early Duolingo to learn Spanish, I ame and went, but always spread the gospel

But over the last 3-4 years, duo has been showing the enshitifcation more and more. Going from a fun system to this entierly linear system, changes to the unpaid energy system, removal of comments and the forum

Then, recently, pushing Duolingo max, removing practice for a max button, a service I don’t have, ever increasing of AI slop, removal of paid volenteers.

I really loved duo, but hate to see it in this sad state. I loved learning a second language, and would continue to pay for it, but it’s clear you no longer view your self as a language platform, but just a way to make a quick buck

Duo would cry if he could.

You… Really are toxic, arnt you.

Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

Just going to copy and paste my previous comment, since it addresses what you say perfectly:

STILL doesn’t affect the basic operation of the fridge, or the findings of the study i linked.

I’m not saying these features are good, or that an AI fridge is worth buying… im just saying statistically, a modern fridge will have a similar lifespan as a fridge from the 70s

Do i need to keep repeating myself?

Fridge is still fully usable though. Even if the AI craps out, and the touch screen shows adds… its still a cold box to put your stuff in, with a lifespan similar to a device from the 70s.

So do we in Canada… But that doesn’t mean that they are enforced

I’m sorry, but I’m talking about the real world, where things actually happen.

I already shared you the study on lifespan of appliances over the decades, and how the old ones we still working are usually due to survivorship bias, I’m not sure what more you want.

I’m just not interested in arguing made up hypotheticals.

Still doesn’t change when the physical components are likely to die.

You are telling me I’m going to have to replace my car because it’s infotainment unit is out of date.

I mean, sure? but pretty much everyone of your examples is about general computing, and while i HATE the samsung fridge thing… it doesnt mean it will die any earlier.
