THE CHROMEBOOK WAS SOME SORT OF SICK FUCKING JOKE
Yon Fellow
I am at my wit's end with this useless box of shit
Yon Fellow
At this point if anybody involved in its development was in front of me it would be an effort of herculean will not to insert the useless piece of dogshit into their throat by force\
Yon Fellow
LITERALLY NOTHING ON IT WORKS
Yon Fellow
I DO NOT THINK RUNNING DISCORD OR RUNNING A SECOND BROWSER SHOULD BE TOO MUCH TO ASK
Yon Fellow
And yet
Yon Fellow
On top of constant crashes
Yon Fellow
There is a persistent bug where the mouse cursor will FUCKING DISAPPEAR behind ANY APP WINDOW EXCEPT CHROME, making it impossible to use or interact with them
Yon Fellow
And the only solution is to RESTART THE FUCKING MACHINE
Yon Fellow
THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST FOUR HOURS
Yon Fellow
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RESTART YOUR MACHINE THREE TIMES IN FOUR HOURS JUST TO MAINTAIN BASIC GODDAMN FUNCTIONALITY

Oh christ.................... yeah the chrome books have really gone down hill, the only reason I had one was to remote connect into my computer at home.
🧊🔥
I'm so sorry you have to go through this frustration
Yon Fellow
Right before my wedding, I had no goddamn money to get a real laptop, so I thought to myself "Windows 10 is so awful, surely a chromebook HAS to be better, right?"
Yon Fellow
No
Yon Fellow
No, I didn't realize there was a level past "barely usable bloated malware masquerading as an OS"
Yon Fellow
BUT THERE WAS
Yon Fellow
APPARENTLY THE CHROME OS WAS AN ACTIVE EXPERIMENT IN FUCKING PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE
Yon Fellow
IT'S THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR A COMPUTING DEVICE THIS FUCKING WORTHLESS AND INFURIATING
🧊🔥
you're not wrong, you are so not wrong
🧊🔥
I'm sure there are good ones out there, I just couldn't tell you which
Yon Fellow
I wanted to have a new proper laptop by now, probably something with a WIndows pro edition because Pro edition is infinitely better than the home editions (which just proves the home editions suck on purpose)
Yon Fellow
But of course there's bullshit with my student loans that meant I couldn't afford a real laptop
Yon Fellow
So I'm stuck using this cruel curse from an unloving god every time I leave my fucking home
Yon Fellow
Anyway I have to restart my computer so it works again

>Restart Chromebook
>Restore apps
>Attempt to continue what I was doing
>Everything that isn't Chrome crashes again
Yon Fellow
I feel my higher intellect withering and reverting to some sort of primal simian state
🧊🔥
The only browser that I could get to work that wasn't chrome was Opera GX
Yon Fellow
The urge to throw this thing across the room is overwhelming
Yon Fellow
I may have to try that
🧊🔥
It helped me to limit what it was taking up, too, v_v I wish I had something else to help
Yon Fellow
The problem is even discord doesn't work on this thing
Yon Fellow
DISCORD
🧊🔥
Yeah it's not an ideal browser, it's really good I still run it, but the ctrl+tab can be weird lol. It does have a ram limiter I think and I ran discord on the browser.
🧊🔥
Not ideal, not at all but I wish I was more an expert to help.
Yon Fellow
I mean realistically it simply shouldn't require an expert to make applications run on a computer

I haven't had any issues with my Chromebook... but it is a little bit silly sometimes. Mostly the standard (this is getting old) issues of hardware.
Hantale
The lack of compatability with almost anything is rough though
Yon Fellow
You haven't had issues with Discord?
ChickletLARP
I bought a netbook for collage ages back, returned it within a week. NOPE
Exacerangutan
i cringed away from chrome books just because i've found chrome super annoying, sounds like it's worse than i could have imagined
Hantale
Yon Fellow : Surprisingly no? But! This device is old enough that it stopped receiving most system updates after a while.
Hantale
Still on Version 103.0.5060.132
Hantale
So you may be having issues with the newer version?
kingdonkey
I haven't had as many issues as all that. But I also would never get another one

chromebooks are kind of hot garbage these days, I'm sorry. we have two (one is the kid's and one is the husband's work laptop) and honestly the best thing I can say about them is they're small and easy to replace when they inevitably shit the bed
ღмσмεяvα
it just seems like laptops in general are not particularly well made these days (especially considering the nature of don't get me started on how things are being intentionally built to fail and taking away things they shouldn't be taking away for processing) and i hate when they advertise ones that do not even have enough space to run the os built on it
ღмσмεяvα
but its definitely a big problem when trying to find something that's inexpensive but serviceable, they lose out on the serviceable part
hobbats
yeah I have a newish alienware laptop that is honestly pretty garbage for that brand, it keeps having issues
yarn witch
me with my hp- it's nice, but like 9/10 times i'm like "it works well enough, this is fine."
Tire Fire
I had a chromebook... well, when I was in college. It got me through but it wasn't my favorite. I will never give up my MAc though
