What technology will disappear in the next 10 years? in c/[email protected]

Offline DRM historically has always been broken eventually, and when it gets cracked, it stays cracked. They can’t change it or take it away from you like streaming.

Blu-ray DRM is the most cutting edge, and it’s pretty easy to crack right now.

It doesn’t go without saying. I disagree about physical media. It’s one of the few ways to guarantee you actually own the thing you bought. People still buy brand new vinyl.

Technology rarely disappears completely, but it does usually fades into hobbyist and collector territory.

To answer the question, I don’t think SMS will be around much longer. It has many problems and is already being replaced by many different standards that are better in every way.

There’s something irreplaceable about the texture of fridge pizza. I think it’s the combo of the hardened cheese, but still liquid, cold sauce.

Breed every type of dog in a huge bracket and end up with the ultimate mutt. It will probably live 20 years.

What's a really popular game franchise you just can't get into? in c/[email protected]

The Witcher. I really want to like it. It seems like the kind of game I would love and I recognize that it’s an objectively well made game. However, I’ve bounced off it at least 4 times after getting 1-4 hours in.

Treatment for ADHD seems engineered to be difficult specifically for those with ADHD to obtain. (lemmy.jelliefrontier.net)
 

Disclaimer: I'm referring the the US medical system, but I imagine people in other countries may encounter similar things.

I cannot be the only one who has had this experience, but all my dealings with the medical industry feel like they were refined by a group of psychologists to exploit the weaknesses of those with ADHD.

The volume of calls, appointments, and paperwork I had to full out to get a diagnosis and prescription for treatment is completely unreasonable to expect someone with poor working memory and attention issues to navigate.

Then, to stay on medication, you need to schedule and make appointments with a psychiatrist every month, for the rest of your life, and if you miss a single one, you will run out of meds (and likely charged a fine), which will make it even harder to remember to make the next one. If you miss too many, that psychiatrist will refuse to see you again and you have to go back to your PCP to get a new referral.

Look, I understand that their time is valuable, but this system couldn't be designed any other way to be more accommodating to people who clinically forget things?!

It's like designing a wheelchair ramp that's actually just stairs that are 3x as steep as the regular stairs. Also, if you fall to the bottom, someone takes your wheelchair until you can climb back up.

Question About Framework Ports (lemmy.jelliefrontier.net)
 

I'm configuring a Framework 13, and while selecting the ports, I came across a question that I couldn't determine from the pictures, product pages, or configurator:

Is there a dedicated USB-C port for docking and charging? That is, to say, if I don't choose USB-C for at least one of the expansion ports, will I still be able to plug it in to a USB-C dock? If not, how will I charge the laptop? Is there a dedicated charging port?
