Depends on the intuitiveness of the UX. When it comes to API, as both a developer and an end user I would rather have it fully documented than have to spend hours digging through forums to figure out if something is even supported.

With that said, as much as I hate it, features lead to sales. When someone is shopping for a product they look at what it can do and whether it meets their needs. They don’t care how well documented something is. If it can’t do what they need they will look elsewhere.

Take it up with the law, because if I don’t take those vacation days you will end up paying more for it.

As scummy as all of this is, it is a real problem that most medical services and offices do not have traditional payment plans. They expect the large amount to be paid all at once.

You have it backwards. As with all things beauty, it isn’t about having the courage to do it - doing it gives you courage and confidence.

My experience with SO is that I’ll look up a question about how to do something using X method and all the answers are like “why are you using X?” or “here’s how to do it using Y.”. You rarely find people answering the questions and instead find people trying to spread gospel about a certain tech that you aren’t using.

Doesn’t matter if it isn’t your fault. Your admin needs to fix it.

Luigi should only be introduced to people whose decisions actually make a difference. Kotick is a cunt, but the decisions he makes aren’t the difference between life and death. He deserves a good smack to the head, but not death.

I’ve already been down voted and commented on. No need to start being a snarky asshole. If there is one thing that hasn’t changed since the 90s it is how obnoxious and pretentious Linux users are.

The biggest hurdle by far is that you need to compile the software you want to use from source more often that is acceptable for the average user. There is also a serious lack of proper hardware driver support.

Linux is way too fragmented and trying to get up and running with basic apps requires way too much technical skill.

I really do hope that SteamOS will finally solve these problems by having the backing of a foundation (company) that has years of UX experience (with multiple failures and successes under their belt) that targets a wide range of audiences. This should give hardware manufacturers confidence that developing drivers for that OS will not be a waste of time.

Having high quality parts is one part of the equation. The other part is having good firmware with accurate deadzones. It is impossible to do precision tricks on off brand controllers without adapters.

Unlike 3d tvs it actually has something to offer. I wouldn’t call it a gimmick, but it definitely has a price barrier that is hard to swallow.

It means we have less insight on what they are doing with our passwords.

The difference being that the owners of the works in museums have given permission to view the content, and the people viewing the content are rarely trying to resell what they are seeing.

Common sense, maturity, humility, and curiosity are all extremely important to me in a partner. Whether my potential partner is book smart is significantly less important to me than whether they treat others with respect and wanting to improve themselves.

With the superficial stuff out of the way, the bottom line is that the thing that matters most is whether or not I want to spend my limited time with them.

I have never had a phone that has successfully unlocked the first time using biometrics. I wouldn’t say it is a solved problem or a solution. There are also implications with law enforcement when using biometrics. They can’t force you to unlock something with a password, but they can forcefully unlock something with your fingerprint.

Not a hot take at all. Asking someone to go from a GUI heavy operating system to a command line heavy one and be just as productive is lunacy. Like all major changes it is important to ween off the old thing.

My biggest hurdle with the switch has been permission related issues, and you can’t deal with those cleanly with a UI, and every help thread under the sun throws out a bunch of command line commands giving a solution without explaining why those changes are needed. It may seem like Unix 101 to experienced Linux users, but it is really cryptic to newcomers coming from operating systems that are…cough more lenient with their permissions.

There is also a mentality that UIs are much more idiot proof than command line. UIs are written by people who actually know the OS so we can’t accidentally delete our home folder because of a typo. It is a very legitimate concern.
