Nah, fuck them. They thought they could get away with this predatory debt-trap system that was marketed at children and they are clearly salty that they got caught. Not to mention the whole idea of not even owning your own PC or the data within which would set a bad precedent for everyone everywhere.

There are so many competitors in the industry NZXT operates in; it would be very easy to avoid ever buying their stuff again. And I intend to do just that. Get bankrupted, you pieces of shit.

It hasn't been updated in ages, so maybe. It does still work well for now at least.

Not going to change unless Microsoft does a complete 180 on how they're handling Win11 which I don't think they will do because it's just not in their corporate strategy at the moment. I imagine most people are just going to keep using Win10 after the support period ends.

Microsoft seriously needs an upper management shakeup. They have been dropping the ball badly in numerous areas and have their heads lodged too far up their own asses to see it.

If you are using iOS then there is really only one place to get them- the App Store.

I've used both Memmy and Mlem and both are decent apps.

The company is billing it as a highly sustainable alternative to regular bicycles

This is one of the most "We are a plastics company and will say any silly thing to justify the existence of our product" things I've seen on a long time. Regular bicycles are already extremely durable, serviceable, and have plenty of parts options. They can last 20-40 years easily. Something I doubt this Fisherprice-esque bicycle will do as it sheds microplastics everywhere and can't actually be recycled because plastic is one of the most difficult to recycle materials in the world.

Sorry to nitpick it so much. I probably wouldn't have been so salty if they didn't make the BS claims. A simple "We are plastic company! Look, plastic bike!" would've been fine.

"We heard your concerns"

More like: "Oops, someone actually stopped to read our predatory contract."

And they are using paid influencers to promote said debt trap to those that don't know any better, particularly children.

Probably the most insidious part of this to me. Seeing those clips of "influencers" pushing the idea of convincing your parents to get you a rental PC. Disgusting.

The new software is able to detect if the hood is open and, if so, will display a warning to the driver to alert them to stop their vehicle and secure the hood

This should not be legal. They should be forced to recall vehicles and replace the faulty part instead of kindly asking drivers to pull over when the part fails.

The shit this company gets away with is astounding.

Capitalism is all about short-term profit. These sorts of long-term questions and concerns are not things shareholders and investors think or care about.

Further proof of this: Climate change.

  • and X has threatened to take them to court to seek the return of the funds plus interest

Doubt it. Call their bluff. They'd lose so much more to legal/court fees than they'd ever get back. X is just looking for a quick cash injection.

Not surprising. They archive information that powerful people would rather we forget.

Neglect - 3D (lemmy.world)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world to c/artshare@lemmy.world

A little something I whipped up to stress test my new workstation PC while in-between bigger projects. Made in Blender and Photoshop! :D

I picked up this old calculator from a thrift store for $25. I cleaned it up and got it working again and decided it would make for a cool thing to model, especially with the VFD tubes! My model is not perfectly 1:1 to the original but I tried to make it match where it counts. This model was a lot of fun to make and I am very happy with how it turned out! Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

Mushy (3D) - By Me (photos.smugmug.com)

A little close up macro scene I put together in Blender! I usually do expansive vistas or interiors so this was a nice change of pace for me.

Winter Wonder (3D) - by me (photos.smugmug.com)

Been a while since I made something snowy in Blender! Turned out decently, I think. I usually do pictures with stronger, more direct sunlight so it was cool to do a semi-overcast scene. Made in Blender with light touching up in Photoshop!

A sort of thought-exercise-turned-artproject encouraged by my therapist. Not exactly how I imagined it when I started but that is usually how these go. Made in Blender with editing in Photoshop. Thanks for looking :D

Handsome and floofy. Was surprised how big they are when I saw some in person. Beautiful birbs!

Trade Hall C (lemmy.world)

Figured I'd share my latest piece I just completed today. For those that like a bit of spacey scifi! Made entirely in Blender with some touching up in Photoshop afterwards.
