Your point is “Windows is the worst of the bunch”.
It’s pretty basic/has no value… Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to disprove.

Depends on the person and their usage. For many Windows is the most appropriate.
Dont be a blind fanboy and just say that there is only solution for an OS and that’s Linux. If there’s one OS then it will inevitably get shit itself.
Yeah this seems like a complete non-issue… All software has its problems and annoyances. Whether it’s Linux, MacOS or Windows they all have different levels of shit and annoying things you have to do.
? This makes no sense without further context. Where are you? Is this normal? Why is this infuriating?
Are people really this self-centred they just assume everyone lives in the same place as then and should know? It’s 35 degrees celcius here in Australia, a temp of 14 degrees looks amazing to me.
You’re using anecdotes to back up your experience which is never a good sign.
This is a fairly basic TV stand design. If you honestly know 4 people who’ve struggled with this then I’m not sure what to tell you. Personally I’ve never heard of anyone have a problem with their TV stand. I myself have a central stand and it’s pretty bulky/annoying itself and wouldn’t fit on many smaller tables. But if you have an appropriate TV stand it’s fine.
So yeah, I do think it’s entitled that people expect every TV manufactured to magically work on their specific table, and if it doesn’t it’s badly designed. Put another way, why don’t you look up some reviews of this TV and see how many people rate it highly vs complain about the stand? When I looked at similar designs they were very highly rated, so at least for the majority of people it’s well designed and acknowledging you cannot have a single design that works for everyone.
OP in his post said he saw it in person so they even knew what they were buying and could easily measure it. I don’t know how they can honestly go back and say it’s badly designed and doesn’t fit their table when they literally saw how it was designed and could have easily measured it out if they chose to.
Yes and then we can have other mildly infuriating posts about this from the other side - why does my TV have a shitty central stand when it could just have two stands on the side? Clearly bad design.
Why is it cutting corners though?
Ideally you’d have the option for both a central stand and the two sides in the one box, but then that’s being wasteful and bad for the environment.
There really isn’t a good option here. In that case I’d say it’s on the consumer to figure out beforehand what the stand is and decide whether they like it or not, not on the company to magically know what stand the consumer needs.
Many companies do shitty things but this stand issue really is a non-issue.
Well I guess they just so it to annoy people then. There’s no other reasons why they’d do this right?
I looked up the shittiest TV brand available at my local electronics store and yeah, they do list the width with and without stands.
And if you plan on putting your TV on a table that is way too small, then I’d double check where the stands sit exactly, because it’s not a design problem but a you problem.
People need to stop blaming their shitty planning on “bad design”. It’s the most common sense design that will work in most cases.
Next you’ll have the guy who puts their TV on two separate chairs complain about the bad design of TV’s that only have a single stand in the middle ffs.
This is not bad design, it’s just common sense.
People are way too entitled is the problem and assume that their bad planning/thinking automatically means something is badly designed. Blame anyone but themselves.

OP blaming their shitty decisions on others. Why are you buying something without knowing its dimensions?
Fuck I hate people like this. The answer btw is pretty obvious. From a weight distribution perspective it’s easiest to have two feet as wide apart as possible.
Well you sell the car so it’s net the same…
Huh? This is just flat out wrong.
Don’t care about most of this as an 80s baby. If you live outside of America a lot of those things didn’t affect you.
Jesus lol.
This is probably true for big games, but I wouldn’t get angry at any small developer for not supporting Linux. It’s just not worth it/still such a small base.
I use Windows, and I honestly never see this stuff at all.
Haven’t used Linux/MacOS in a long time now but from this specific perspective they all appear the same to me. Or at worst, it’s easy to disable.
