Maybe thats the problem with people these days!

People only care about price so now everything is built as cheap as possible, corners cut everywhere so now everything is shit… because it needs to be cheap! It’s getting harder to find anything that seems built to last more than a year.

As scummy as Amazon might be, they’re still the only company that offers anything that resembles convenience. eBay could’ve challenged Amazon but profit over service and those in charge walking round with their head up there arse’s and now it’s a poor copy of aliexpress that seems to be 90% chinese crap in the UK! I’m not wasting an hour trawling every online store when I know Amazon has it… so what if its £3 more!

And sadly the cheap money has gone and no-one wants to offer a better Amazon because there’s money in it because… everyone wants everything cheap! 🤦‍♂️😞

There was a time I used to think people like this were nuts… but the more I have to deal with the sheer incompetence of people the more I question how people are becoming such idiots! 🤔😞🤦‍♂️

“By the book…”

Yeah, lets wait and see because nothing apple touches is by anything but apples book! But then the whole USB C shambles is such a mess its hard to know if its crappy cables or companies being aholes because my ipad will charge with 1 cable, but not another, yet both charge my pixel fine.

But then i’m not spending £ks on an iPhone anymore when they seem to be following google’s book and have separate departments that never collaborate so you get garbage software! 😡

I tried moderating once when Lycos chat was a thing but the problem with everything on the internet is you have to deal with power mad nut jobs that’ll do anything to knock you down if they see enjoying it.

So I really don’t get how good people can last in unpaid positions when you have people with no morale compass grind you down because boring people feel the need to take down anyone that dares ‘have fun’!

So it doesn’t surprise me when I randomly login to Lycos chat once a year, or 10 and see how lifeless it is and sadly no-one seems to have understood what attracted people there, or tried to improve on it! 😞

Just another reason to not have friends. No need to worry about messages and people getting funny because you 😱 reply to them straight away! 😎

Is it wrong to only miss not having friends when I need a hand lifting up something? 😳 I really need to buy a remote controlled crane! 🤔

Wonder if one of my nice, rich friends will buy me one for Christmas? 🤔

Oh yeah, I don’t have any friends! 😳😞 would be fun to get back to being able to build/upgrade stuff though.

Is it a M1 chip?

We’re having the same issue with picking refresh rates which I think is linked to something quirky Apple is/isn’t doing on the M1 chips.

My 2018 MacBook Pro works fine, can select refresh rates… M1 Mac Pro doesn’t see anything, M1 MacBook Pro only lets you see 30/60hz but is flaky displaying anything ‘if’ it decides to see it. So the only option would be to have a scaler up/down convert it (Like blackmagic UpDownCross converter) but I haven’t tested if that solves the issue yet since I don’t own one and as they are now, unlikely to every buy one!

Guess i’ll just post to add to the numbers because I have nothing worthy to add! 😐
