Back in 2012 apple won a UI patent and we know how those megacorps do. No idea to what extent but that sorta stops any big contenders on copying them. The multi year contracts are a meme from the past but it’s the same sort of people who aren’t techliterate enough to learn a new UI, that keep with the contracts.
See my other comment.
Tldr: Parents make sure to teach their kids not to shit on the ground.
A little. Hands on parenting is what they need. I made sure my baby brother is tech literate when my mom is 100 percent not. He just graduated highschool this year. Sure some of the blame is on tech but kids don’t know how to shit in a toilet either and parents make damn sure they learn as quickly as possible.
Can’t really blame them either, it was our generation that dropped the ball in making sure they were more tech literate than us. Not that I have kids but still.
As someone who’s used and uses both for work and isn’t a fanboy of either, sorry but apple does not have an easy to learn interface. It seems like every single choice they made was done to just be different from the alternative, more often than not to the detriment of the user. If they lock people in to how their ecosystem works low tech people can’t easily change.
I might actually put this under my skills. I’m fairly good at googlefu.
God if that isn’t the truth. We changed from Thryv to rackspace and we went from zero spam to 30 a day and this is AFTER they block a bunch. Waste of my time every day having to go through them.
That’s what people said about original prompts for text Ai bots but we’ve been able to get some from a couple popular ones.
Confidentiality agreements REALLY mater to big companies. Once they’re made aware that Adobe does this they’ll either kick up a fuss so Adobe won’t do it to them or switch programs. We’ve already seen people break Ai in plenty of ways, I wouldn’t out it past people to figure out how to break the Adobe one to show original artwork for confidential projects at some point. We’ll see how it goes.
If this post is true a lot more of the people who matter should be caring once they become aware and if they don’t them the people who need confidentiality should. We’ll see how the cards fall.
In paint 3d it’s open image > click crop button > crop > save. My mom could do it with no problem since the Ui isn’t cluttered with stuff and the crop button is right there.
Totally agree, sometimes I just need to crop an image and it’s not intuitive at all on the big programs. I’ve found paint 3D is fairly solid and non complex for most simple things one needs to do with images.
Photopea dot Com is pretty solid and it’s a website not a download. Has good complexities for the non profesional that wants to do more but doesn’t need or want photoshop.
Unironically it might work. Have a filing cabinet with all the attacks that you can point too.
Yea it’s unfortunate.
Reminds me, the box a pet rock came in that my brother gave me this last Christmas has the frigging minions logo on it. It says ‘as seen on [minions eye logo]’.
Jokes on you, I pirate my books. No idea if the book youtubers I watched were paid but their sensibilities are similar to mine and so far they haven’t lead me astray. I like supporting my book writers directly instead of giving money to corpos whenever possible.
She has a roku TV which I’ve read a bit about cracking but it sounds sorta annoying. Once we move in I’m planning to get a projector and hook it up to a mini pc with a wireless small mouse and keyboard. We mostly use it for movie nights anyways.
Eh I get what you mean even if it does sound sorta mean and I don’t entirely disagree. I would just call it ignorance, she wasn’t aware that you could get cracked apps for tvs or that just hooking up your pc to the TV is an easier alternative to all of that. Now she knows and she’s all about it.
Were planning to move in together soonish and I told her I would handle all the techside of stuff and that she can just let me know what she wants and I’ll do it.
You’re not kidding. My girlfriend started talking about this until I straight up told her to stop. She already has ublock on pc she knows there’s a way, she’s just willing to pay to not have ads on her YouTube TV app because they’re frustrating.
They sorta are, plenty of options for cheap quality untilited phone plans out there even with international included and very few people actually need a state of the art 1k phone to make payments on.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not policing how people should spend their money. All I’m saying is that plans are from the past and don’t need to exist, like faxes.
