HACKER Q&A
📣 behnamoh

What are some of your deal-breakers?


For example:

I don't use any LLM unless it supports either function calling or constrained output with grammars (so no GPTQ models, only GGUF).

I don't use headphones that aren't multipoint.

I don't use mice that don't have side buttons that I can program.

I don't use a keyboard if the right shift key is not full size.

I don't use speakers that have a hissing static noise.

I don't use Linux for desktop. Too many Linux evenings, not enough "it just works" reliability.

I no longer use wireless keyboards, mice, or headsets. I don't want to have to remember to charge them, and I don't like the random/occasional micro drops that come with wireless. So now everything is wired, my desk is messier, and I like it that way. :)

Anything that offers a social login/sign up but no option to use a user name/email address + password.

Some physical items that don't come in black (if only because I enjoy asking Does it come in black? ...).
