Reply to The Empty Sentiment of The Last of Us by BuckedMallard

always funny to see the inevitable "actually, that thing that was incredibly well made and beloved by virtually everybody sucks" article, and I'm a cynical motherfucker. for three weeks in a row Craig Mazin has looked a horde of nerds directly in the eyes and said "fuck your source material" and it's so good that everybody is happily rolling with it lol not a peep from the insincere Lore Respecters who always pop up, and this episode had lifelong Republicans weeping in the family chat over a gay love story. (Jared Harris in Chernobyl voice) madness

Mental gymnastics. Touchscreens would've died a half decade ago if this was the case. But as I said, the rest of the industry have had a constant variety of touchscreen laptops at all price points for quite a long time now. They're quite obviously here to stay. And when Apple finally caves and does it in 2030 you lot will act like it's a killer new feature that the ghost of Steve Jobs crafted with his bare hands

>but reality is touchscreen computers SUCK

They're fine. Same with stylus support. Apple just wants MacBook/iPad double-dippers.

>Its why the market for them is nearly non-existant.

What? Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, etc. have had a constant variety of touchscreen laptops from budget to flagship throughout the last decade or so.

They're not going to add a touchscreen, stylus support, create a hybrid device, etc. as long as their devoted fanbase continues to purchase both a MacBook and an iPad to browse the web. They've been clinging onto these double-dippers for ages - the rest of the industry does not have this luxury, so they added all of these things a decade ago without issue

Reply to Ohio Supreme Court says insurance policy does not cover ransomware attack on software by homothebrave

if you're one of the many, many wildly profitable companies that routinely shrugs off all IT-related costs whether it's years-overdue server replacements, years-overdue security measures, etc. so that some suit can buy his dozenth sports car or fifth vacation home I hope that your bafflingly neglected money-printer gets bricked by a teenager in Yugoslavia and that you get told to eat shit by the insurance company

Reply to Why still the push for "woke" tv-shows and movies, when almost all of them result in a flop? by [deleted]

If you don't like a show because it has women or black people, that's on you. If a show happens to be shit, it's not because of the inclusion of women or black people.

>Why not just write good shows, that portray females with good feminine values and traits (as an example Ripley from Alien or Eowyn from LotR)

Hilarious that you explicitly mention Alien. I watched it for the first time earlier this year with modern day goggles and wondered if man-children filled their diaper regarding Ripley back in the day. Didn't Alien become the all-time classic we all know and love partly due to Ridley Scott welcoming Sigourney Weaver's input? You lot would lose your shit if you read that headline for an upcoming movie from such a director. Tarantino taking tips from Margot Robbie would have the Andrew Tate bozos rioting in the streets. Genuinely don't get how one could love Alien and arrive at posting (gestures wildly) this on reddit years/decades later
