Me too. RS-232 used to just werk. Now forced to use USB adapters that break off when you look at them wrong. Now there is talk of using something besides RJ-45 for Ethernet... why can't anyone learn not to fuck with it when it has been working for decades?
>>

>>54644950
At least RJ-45 isn't completely incompatible with USB, which is going to be around in some form or another for eternity.

RS-232 is partially incompatible with USB. You will never find a RS-232 to USB adapter that will work with EVERYTHING (CNC machines come to mind), because some communication protocols aren't supported. It's simply impossible.

Plugins no longer wrap properly or map MIDI CC like it used to, ASIO4All has become complete ass (for those without audio interfaces), although the support for 64 and 32 bit plugins is really nice it fucking BREAKS plugins with large patch libraries or intense amounts of features (like U-he Hive or Diva or Trillian)

Catia

When I used it, the installer shipped a huge collection of object files named after their hashes; it then used symlinks to map the names it expected to some of those hashed files. Every version of every library they had ever used was shipped, and you could roll back as needed.

You had to do this, because some of the extensions were only compatible with specific library versions, so you might have to roll a part of the software back several releases to keep a needed tool working.

Also, the license system was point based. You bought a pool of points, which were shared across all sessions. Different actions cost different amounts of points, and points were only released when a user quit.

Saving required points.

So you would end up in a case where multiple users were deadlocked, with no free points, and one of them had to quit and lose their work to free up the points so the others could save.

Haven't had any problems with that, though I only use a simple keyboard
>ASIO4All has become complete ass (for those without audio interfaces)
If you're making music, then you should get an audio interface
>although the support for 64 and 32 bit plugins is really nice it fucking BREAKS plugins with large patch libraries or intense amounts of features (like U-he Hive or Diva or Trillian)
I use Kontakt libraries that span from 2 gigs in size to 60 gigs and I haven't had any issues.
And I haven't had any issues with big VST's either.
Granted, I don't use those plugins you listed, so I wouldn't know about them.
>FL 11 was fine but FL 12 is a piece of shit.
FL 12 is pretty new, so I'd give it time before it's perfect, like every previous versions.

Windows, Office. Why the fuck are public offices using closed source expensive software as a default?
Honestly if they would use the money to instead hire some local company to give additional open source features to open office, gimp and inckscape then it would still be cheaper, less resource heavy and more secure. than this current BS.

be in the design class well after 3ghz processors were the minimum you would buy for gaming, forced to use macs that were crts, using the most recent version of programs that would work with them, because the school was too poor to buy new macs and the teacher had a hard on that you can only use macs for design work, when all we did was illustrator and other adobe shit.

the crap lagged like a motherfucker and the smug cunt had the only mac pro.

we made a concerted effort to bombard him with anti mac assignments, seriously even the people who didn't care about computers hated this shit enough to go along.

found out a few years ago from my little brother he quit because they were forcing him to use a pc instead of macs due to they are cheaper.

Java SE development toolkit. Still makes me cringe to the teeth

lol, this is why i saved everything in universal formats.

don't know if you realised, but my typing sucks, when i was in school i did all my work through dictation with dragon at home, cocksucker booked a computer lab for 3 days, i had the assignment done after 1, but was failed for it because "i didn't use my time wisely"

this was fucking english, i had the shit done and the cunt refused to look at it and used me as an example of a shit student for it.

in the end he passed me with a d- just so he didn't have to see me next year, the following year i got a good teacher and got my first a+ in a class i half assed at best, c+ when it came to grammar the following semester though.

>Visual Studio
Whats wrong with this? Its great for quickly making GUI programs for Windows with C#
>>
>>54648049
when you work in an office, you get shit done, time is money.

opensource when its not insanely matured or updated is buggy at best.

gimp will not be as good as photoshop with some plugins, can't say the same for inkscape because i don't know it well enough.

when shit does go wrong, you can hire an outside it guy to fix it if yours cant, open source thats not an option.
>>
