Ah, but that’s just it, lightbulbs were the beginning of enshittification. Once lightbulb manufacturers realized people weren’t coming back to buy more bulbs very often, they started deliberately making them to burn out a bit faster, to make them more of a consumable product.
Do note, there’s a difference between a conspiracy theory and an actual conspiracy. This actually happened yo, and we’re still suffering with this sort of deliberately short lived shit today…
Once upon a time, stuff was made to last…
At the time, for the iPad 2, yes. The touchscreen is not sealed to the LCD on the iPad 2, it’s only glued to the edges of the frame with double sided tape.
Neither part was broke, it was just that the frame was slightly bent by the volume buttons, jamming one of the buttons in. It was such a subtle bend that I really didn’t see any good reason to go through all the trouble of disassembly, as even that risks breaking the touchscreen.
I fixed a bent iPad 2 using a rubber mallet and a short piece of wood on a good flat wooden bench. Hey, I didn’t feel like busting out the heat gun and all that nonsense for the glued on touchscreen just for a bent metal frame, so I took a chance.
At worst, the touchscreen might have broke in the process, but that would have only set me back $7 and an extra 45 minutes. But it worked perfectly, flattened out correctly, didn’t break anything, and I got to go to lunch like 45 minutes early.
I don’t recommend this approach though.
No, it would be the same if I ate your ton of garlic and you ate my ton, by then neither of us would have a sense of smell either way.
So the universe remains in balance, as it always has.
Sure, because screw artists with unique talent and style, let’s just have AI crank out the same style crap every day…
I’m rapidly getting tired of this new AI art era, looks like the same shit every day anymore.
Where’s the human factor anymore? Where’s the talent, where’s the skill?

Damn you LMFAO!
I haven’t seen that movie in ages!
There’s no why, just figured I’d ask a silly question. Bored I am…
True.
But I mean less like a surrender, more like they call the law on themself and then handcuff themself…
Yes, I suppose.
But more like crazy person level, like call the cops on themself for stealing a candy bar or something similarly stupid, then handcuff themself to a bench or light pole or something…
I’ll take my downvote, whatever.
I still hope OP gets better soon, regardless of the cause.
I’m one that doesn’t tend to block anyone, unless it’s outright obvious I just need to. I haven’t blocked anyone on Lemmy, hoping I don’t find any reason to do so.
I think one person blocked me though, oh well.
Spez blocked me from Reddit, but like who cares right?
Edit: Obligatory FUCK SPEZ!
Don’t eat the onions…
Hope you get better soon.
Guess so. The installation tech had to test like 18 sets of dead phone lines before managing to find one live pair to even connect the internet.
Not sure what all happened there, but…
FAT ≠ NTFS
You’d be dumbfounded to see what I’ve been able to accomplish using my connection. Terabytes of games archived, I just didn’t have to download nor upload them myself.
I ain’t even talking about the internet speed, I’m talking about the data cap. And $1 a day is about as cheap as it gets in my area.
Meanwhile, after they mastered the process of making LEDs, they were quoted to have a half life of around 400 years, meaning that after 400 years continuous use, they’d be expected to emit about half as much light as they did new.
Now what did they go and do? They ramped up the power and made them blindingly bright, yet only last like 5 years or so, if you’re lucky.
And the cycle of enshittification continues…
