When will technology stop disappointing me? Why is everything still so absolutely shit? It's like the entire tech industry completely lost ambition and is just running on autopilot.

i hate that this is still true

What do you mean about Amiga? I'm curious

>still no phone in a watch form factor But there are many. They suck tho
Charles Nguyen
The ones that are basically glorified dumphones as watches are fine. They are some times bought for kids, since its a reasonable thing to wear. Talking in them still sucks balls.
Grayson Diaz
Saw few videos. Amiga was lagged shit.

>can't vote on-line because computers/networks are insecure garbage that's not why it's a bad idea, friendo.

Maybe you could post a more elaborate answer...

Carson Ortiz
blame the retarded software devs of today.
absolutely pisses me off that computers today run worse than computers 15 years ago.
all because software devs expect you to be running the latest supercomputer.

>>no passively cooled laptops with week long battery life because all instruction/node improvements are being eaten by shit software
You can blame businessmen for this. Programmers have to push shitty code all of the time because businessmen don't want to spend more then $X dollars on development of something.
All you are experiencing is a bunch of technical debt due to businessmen.

>>can't vote on-line because computers/networks are insecure garbage
There is already technology in place to vote online in a secure way.
>>no passively cooled laptops with week long battery life because all instruction/node improvements are being eaten by shit software
You mean, a tablet? You can already get passively cooled laptops, but the problem is that there is no use to the kind of hardware (weak) in 2017, the same thing will happen in 2027, it will be possible but not practical.
>>color e-ink displays are still trash
They are not trash, what you meant is
>"HURR DURR I WANT E-INK TO WORK LIKE LCD HURRRR EVEN IF ITS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR IT TO WORK LIKE THAT DURRRR"
E-ink works perfectly for its purpose.
>>UI still hangs in every modern PC operating system despite the fact that Amiga solved that problem 30 years ago
Maybe you should stop using Linux.
>>still no phone in a watch form factor
Yes there is, and you are a mentally (and probably physically) a child.
Justin King
you want a physical copy of your vote so they can audit any election, or do recounts. Always better to recount then a re-election.

When will you learn to be happy with what you fucking have ?
Take a look back and what shit was like 20 or 30 years ago.
international calls cost you DOLLARS per minute back then. Now people are facetiming all the fucking time, it's like fucking magic to someone from the 1980s
You will never be happy because it will never be good enough for you OP.

market consolidation competition breeds innovation and that certainly isn't going to happen while the big fish just keep getting bigger. This one in particular really chafes my ass >can't vote on-line because computers/networks are insecure garbage telecomms need a day of the rope

>still no phone in a watch form factor Pay attention, faggot
It's too expensive for new people to make new innovations in those areas
Gabriel Smith
>can't vote on-line because computers/networks are insecure garbage This isn't likely to change any time soon. The voting setup in Washington and Oregon is decent enough anyways. You get a ballot mailed to you weeks in advance, and you either drop it off at a free drop box, or you mail it back for the price of a stamp. It's not as convenient as doing it on your phone, but it's decent enough.
>no passively cooled laptops with week long battery life because all instruction/node improvements are being eaten by shit software As long as we want software to do more things, there's only so much improvements we can make. Slow as balls languages were invented because it's difficult to produce complex software with low level languages. Regardless, we are making progress in languages that are expressive enough to scale up well, but which are not painfully difficult to optimize.
>color e-ink displays are still trash Give it a few years, and some actual market demand. I've never seen anyone extremely excited over e-ink.
>UI still hangs in every modern PC operating system despite the fact that Amiga solved that problem 30 years ago Consider the fact that the problem may not be with the OS, but with the application eating up all of your resources.
>still no phone in a watch form factor How would you make calls with this? You hold it up to your ear to hear, but have to move it to speak into it? Reasonably speaking, a phone should be at least as large as the distance from your ear to your mouth.

It'll stop disappointing you when you go and make the things that you want, and make them available for purchase. Then you'll have what you want AND you'll be rich.

he won't be rich because someone will copy his design and make it cheaper, steal all of hi users and then dupe them.
In modern day and age if you make a perfect device - you are essentially bankrupt.

That's just because you went out for javascript. It got to be PHP in browser to remain sanity. And having PHP services in browser is best thing that can happen to distronet.

White line space is okay, but this is somehow like having no line space. Really retarded.

I had a computer 15 years ago, it fucking sucked compared to the computers I have now. It was high-end at the time too.

>Consider the fact that the problem may not be with the OS, but with the application eating up all of your resources.
An application only needs to do "a tiny bit of processing" to lock up your UI in most frameworks. It's because they all work on the single-threaded event loop model, which completely blows.
Thread per widget is the right way to do it. But you need light weight threads and not full-blown unix processes masquerading as threads.
