I don’t think it’s a lie, it’s objectively true that shit SD cards would have that effect on performance if used as adopted storage. But I do agree with you that it was a convenient excuse, as I wrote at the end of my original comment.

It’s not the users saying it, it’s the OEMs. Back when this was a new discussion, I at least remember Google saying this as justification for why it stopped including them in their devices after the nexus 4
Not that I think it was a good reason for ditching them whatsoever, but one of the main reasons given has a tiny bit of merit:
Allegedly, a lot of users often cheaped out on SD cards and then used them as adopted system storage where they moved all their apps to. This had the effect of completely tanking phone performance and then they would often get corrupted after a bit of use taking user data with them. This then generated a load of negative reputation about the devices being slow and unreliable, when the problem was the choice of SD card, and generated a load of wasted money in supporting these users when that happened (think unnecessary RMAs, etc).
Personally I think they should just have restricted it to A1+ SD cards, and sucked up the people complaining about their bargain bin Scrandrisk SD not working. But I guess they saw an opportunity to have their cake and eat it by just removing it and charging a premium for larger storage skus.
The comfortable one is unfortunately an ultimate feature that we don’t get in our plan
I still don’t know why this architecture went for a Double XOR as the NOP, I guess they were just flexing that the reference chip design could do both in a single cycle
The first one is pretty much down to, as Gabe Newell puts it, “piracy is a service problem”. Spotify came along and (initially) provided a much better service compared to pirating your music at the time. Once they created the market segment, competitors started their own streaming subscriptions. I’d also say the Google music “upload 50,000 tracks for free” got a lot of former pirates to jump.
Now the services are going through the same enshittification that most popular online services seem to be going through, we can see piracy increasing again. Someone will notice and fill the gap in providing a good service again at some point and the pendulum will swing once more
I think the borderlands games take the award for the quantity of egregious pop culture references
I’m all about this being a new meme template for dad jokes
Lagunitas is pretty banging tho
I guess if everyone on your street is doing the same then it’s not a problem, but it’s worth noting over half the general population will have a chronotype where noise that early will be a negative for their health.
Making noise between 10am-10pm is apparently the best for everyone
Depends on what time, for me
After about 10am is pretty fair game if a noisy job needs doing IMO. If it’s music and not obnoxiously loud, that’s probably fine too
Anyone making any noise before that though absolutely should get in the sea
I’m fine with a brioche bun, they’re upper tier buns
But don’t stack a load of stuff in there to the point the brioche disintegrates under the heft of it
That’s why we have the pretzel bun
(Likewise, don’t use a pretzel bun if you’re not gonna load it up, that bun needs grease for balance)
Imagine something kinda like crocs without the toe, I guess
If you Google “slides” you’ll see loads of examples
Crocs are obsolete
Slides won guys, not sure who still needs to hear this
Well that is incredibly cool
I don’t think anyone is coming after you for this, but I obviously don’t know what country you’re in
Makes sure all writes are flushed to disk
On reflection probably not needed as I think reboot does that too
Oh no, this is not gonna be good for my productivity
