There absolutely is.
SODIMM slots disappeared from laptops because of technical limitations, and it took an entirely new design to eventually bring socketable RAM back to laptops. And those new sockets still take up more space than just soldering the RAM in place.
Engineering is all about tradeoffs.
So from the title, you could already tell this wasn’t a project for you. Yet you still felt the need to open this thread just to complain about its existence?
Why do you think aiming for NT 5.2 compatibility should preclude them from building a modern GUI-based installer?
Well you didn’t watch season 3, which is the season that actually won these awards.
Even the leaflet is just a shitty bandaid. What if someone picked up a printer used and it didn’t include the leaflet.
It’s outright unacceptable to ship a consumer product that so easily bricks itself like this.
The HP instructions didn’t say that if you connected the cable between the printer and the PC before you had installed the drivers, the printer would not mount as a device. In fact, it would never connect to that PC ever again. Apparently, it ruined the registry until you reformatted and reinstalled the OS.
How do they manage to fuck something up so royally? They clearly knew it was a problem, as they outlined it in their manual. But there’s no way it was cheaper to deal with all the angry support calls and lost customer confidence than to just add some code to the driver installer that fixes the registry settings…
If this happened to me, I wouldn’t reinstall my operating system, I would tell their support technician to fuck off and go buy a printer from a different company.

Critics didn’t necessarily go to film school, but they see everything under the sun, so when a movie doesn’t do anything particularly new or is highly derivative without adding its own twist, it bores them. The person who goes to 3-5 movies a year doesn’t care, to them something derivative of 10 movies they haven’t seen is still new and fresh. This is in addition to the technical competency component you mentioned.
I watch a ton of movies so my tastes are more likely to align with those of a professional critic.
it sounds like they want to cover the birth of the Federation, so maybe it’s a bit of an Enterprise follow-up?
I’m OK with more prequels if it means letting Terry Matalas continue handling the post-TNG timeline.
They don’t have Dr. Pepper at my movie theater so I guess this movie really is never seeing the light of day :/
what does that creative commons license have to do with Firefox?
The Gartner hype cycle strikes again.
and would stand a better chance of actually fitting in your pocket
mini-usb cables are robust, but the sockets they plug into were pretty fragile, i’ve had multiple break.
the socket. sadly this is a design flaw with every usb connector, even type-c.
amusingly, Apple’s lightning is the only connector i’ve seen that seems truly designed for the cable to break before the socket
You can also get around this by using a non-airline owned travel metasearch engine like Kayak.
it’s wild to me how willingly people will give themselves over to nicotine addiction
i blame our nonsensical drug laws that rank cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms as “worse” than nicotine and alcohol, even though the latter two are more harmful and much more addictive
i love me some cannabis, i’ll have the occasional mushroom, and i even enjoy a glass of whiskey every now and then, but nicotine scares the absolute hell out of me
