Confession time
The other day my daughter told me she was hungry.... All I did was ask what she wanted to eat! I will carry that with me for all my days

Microsoft Finally Realizes Nobody Wants Its Windows 11 Preinstalled Bloatware
If I could also get the ability to disable internet search results from the start menu that'd be great. So sick of looking for a file or app, hitting enter a second too soon, and having Edge slowly eat my resources to display a Bing search result that I never wanted.

Which button do I press for the gay frogs?
I'm fairly certain that "Turn the freakin' frogs gay" is a side effect of cell towers. If you open the main compartment on a tower, it's just three buttons labeled:
I'll point out that since most people stopped getting COVID boosters that the second option doesn't do much anymore. We all know the boosters had extra microchips since they naturally degrade in our systems over time.
It's worth noting that you can also use the terminal to download all the data captured by your local "birds".
Also, as much as I shouldn't need to put this... /s

The ultimate life hack the government doesn't want you to know
Reply in thread
I was advised by my family, and the bank when I was 16 to get a Credit Card so I could build my credit score. I didn't really have any good financial awareness and they set me at a $2000 limit. Needless to say that was maxed almost immediately and took years of developing discipline to get under control. I still struggle with CCs now and then... They're too easy to come by and too hard to break free of

IBM’s generative AI tool aims to refactor ancient COBOL code for its mainframes
Reply in thread
I've worked at many financial institutions and government agencies, and they all have extremely old mainframe systems running COBOL. Every time the executives bolster "We're finally going to move off of this old system and modernize", I show them the price and they scamper off into their back rooms to whine about profit margins. It's always fun when something does go wrong with those systems and they go through the cycle all over again, but now it's even more expensive to fix

DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip
Reply in thread
This.
I love to cook, it's something that brings me joy to see myself create delicious meals and feed my family. But my God, after a long day of work and then getting my kid from daycare, only to come home and have to figure out what I can make and then do it is just too much. I'd rather focus my attention on playing with my kid, and coming down from the day, than spending all my time in the kitchen. I'll make my kid food and then order something for my wife and I afterwards.
We shouldn't be punished with cold food just because DoorDash/Uber/Skip won't pay their drivers properly. I can't always drop 18% (somehow the norm where I live) on top of their already baked in delivery fee, and service fee. Also, tipping as far as I'm concerned is an after-the-fact action. If you exceed your job I'll tip you, but delivering my food warm and on-time is your job... Why tip when I consistently have late deliveries anyways. I can always pay a premium to get my food first, but that's just another fee.
There's no winning here

A key feature of NFTs has completely broken / Web3 was supposed to make sure the original artist always got paid. Not so much anymore.

I've been blocking ads for so long that actually seeing them feels perverse
Reply in thread
Those ads bother me more than most because It's entirely false advertising. Nothing shown in those ads for the most part reflects the actual gameplay in any way shape or form.
There was somebody who actually released a mobile game that has all of like the fake game mechanics from all the advertisements that you see on those ads and it's awful but really funny lol

All of Japan's Toyota Assembly Plants Shut Down for a Day Because Their Server Ran Out of Disk Space
Reply in thread
In my experience, the C-Suite dicks will put the hammer down on someone and maybe fire a couple of folks. They'll demand a summary of what happened and what will be done to stop it from happening again. IT will provide legit options to resolve this long term, but because that comes with a price tag they'll be told to fix it with "process changes" and the cycle continues.
If they give IT money that's less for themselves at EOY for bonuses so it's a big concern /s
