What are your modern technology grievances?

What has speed got to do with capacity?
>>
How about my top three? Battery, battery, battery. My God do we desperately need better battery technology.
I'm actually quite fine with the things you listed. I happen to use a computer for very little outside of the internet but I have little trouble doing so. Transfer speeds aren't a big deal when you don't move around large files. I can't say I've had any driver support issues recently; I even have Broadcom WiFi running well in Linux! Social media integration is annoyingly offered but I get by having exactly zero accounts/profiles. As for UI changes, thankfully they're made for idiots so they aren't hard to figure out.
I think I'm just very much a "typical consumer" and so the decisions that companies make jive with my preferences.

I hate these, too:

Kind of offtopic, but I don't want to start a fresh thread.
I'm about to try dual booting linux with my current W10 setup. Should I just use Mint if I'm a newbie to Linux or something else?

For those who have a vertical/portrait display, what do you put on it? I have one and wondering what to use it for when I'm not using it. Any good portrait content (visualizations, videos, webpages or applications) out there?

VEGA's MSRP is a lie and is 100$/£ over and has an enforced game pack (Not really worth $100/£ and unwanted by many).

I tried using Luks and it's too fucking hard to setup.

So my GF will begin school next year and she wants to go into editing, and impulsively ordered a very powerful PC a couple of days ago. She has no clue about editing right now, but I said hey, since we'll have a lot of months until she goes to college and the PC soon, we should practice together so you don't get there knowing nothing.
Any good on-line free tutorials? I don't know anything either, but I'm willing to learn whatever I can.
Also, where can one get free footage for testing? Until her PC arrives I won't download any software, but I guess I can start by reading tutorials, watching tutorials, and downloading footage and music.

She paid for it, anyway.

A fun way to practice editing is to use movie trailers. Download a lengthy trailer and recut it to completely change the implied tone of the film. Rearrange shots, dub new music, add in some transitions and try to turn a children's comedy trailer into a horror film. Or a romance flick into an action movie.
