It would be useful because it gives multiple specific and relatable reference points. How is that not useful?

The way humans relate to the temperature has a huge range and so very vague. Do you say that 0 is when you swap shorts for trousers? Or when you put a hoody on? Or is it when your neighbour puts their hoody on? Or when your friend from Texas puts their hoody on?

It's like when you come across a recipe that calls for a knob of butter. Everyone's knob is a different size, we've just agreed to say that whatever it is, it's enough.

I love that the best way to fix cast iron is to cook bacon.

Truly DIY- I could ship you a chunk of copper and some plastic pellets, if you need it in a 'kit' form I could include IKEA-style instructions if you want?

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

There's a whole range of DIY, from just swapping out keycaps, to designing, manufacturing, and hand-wiring from the ground up.

  • What out of the box functionality are you missing? As for search, from context I'm going to assume you are not being sarcastic. Windows search has to be the single worst search I've ever fucking encountered. Say I made a picture of a bird. I called it bird.jpg, and saved it in my pictures folder. Now, I type 'bird' into explorer search, and it gives me a fucking DLL FILE called matrixRRT.dll. I waited literal minutes for this? Literally the advice on all over the internet for making windows search better is to use something else instead.

*Agreed, window snapping is better in Windows.

*It's been a hot minute since I used anything other than Expose to choose which window I want (Which is great, btw) but don't you just click and hold on the dock icon?

*Agreed, more troubleshooting on startup would be handy. But to be fair, I've had way more startup issues with my windows box than my Mac. In fact, the last Mac startup issue I think I had would have been about six years ago. Whereas I've probably had six in the last year alone on the Windows machine. Sample size of one, of course. shrug

*Have you met my good friend, the command line?

Are you saying you couldn't get the home folder to open? Or you couldn't locate the folder?

Isn't it just the in the shortcut pane, the username with the picture of a house? To you try to open the 'go' menu and select 'home'?

It'll also need AI.

If only there was something more specific that a wider range of people could relate to.

[-] Pok@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

One of those things is more specific than the other.

How does that make it better?
