ITT: a lot of people trying really hard to justify their use cases for Windows.

TIL white people only exist in Midwest US.

I use this trick when I have projects in the garage I need to work on. Don't feel like working on it? Well I'll just go stand in the garage for a bit. Next thing I know I've been working on it for three hours and I need to force myself to take a break to go eat.

FydeOS might be more in line with what you need. Based on ChromeOS, but without the Google account requirements and spyware. I installed this on my dad's PC along with setting up DNS-based Ad blocking and it's been rock solid. If he just needs a browser, that's basically what it is.

He's been on version 22 since I set it up back it February of this year. I don't think a new major version had come out since then. (I actually haven't thought to check) my plan was just to do a fresh install as needed for major updates, or when his current version stops receiving security updates since new features aren't really a concern for him.

I can't tell the difference in anything above 192Kbps, and even if I could I'm usually listening to music in my car anyways, so it's a moot point.

The lady they shot sure didn't get any of that due process. Hypocrites.

These morons really think AI is going to allow them to replace the technical folks. The same technical folks they severely loathe because they're the ones with the skills to build the bullshit they dream up, and as such demand a higher salary. They're so fucking greedy that they are just DYING to cut these people out in order to make more profits. They have such inflated egos and so little understanding of the actual technology they really think they're just going to be able to use AI to replace technical minds going forward. We're on the precipice of a very funny "find out" moment for some of these morons.

I'm not British, but it really is bizarre seeing this old geezer actually dressed up in this stuff. It'd almost be comical if it wasn't for the fact that he's dead fucking serious.

I do not understand this but maybe it's because I'm a guy and keep my keys in my front pocket. I keep literally the BARE MINIMUM of things on my key chain. So far as I even have separate keychains for separate vehicles instead of having one key chain for all of them. My SO on the other had has 2lbs of trinkets on her keychain.

Not surprising, honestly. DJI had been eating their lunch and GoPro never could figure out how to keep their damn cameras from overheating all the time. Everyone I know switched to DJI.

It's not a fucking speedrun homie. This isn't shower any%. I'm usually listening to music and enjoying the hot water. Plus if it's a wash day, washing and conditioning long hair takes a while.

ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR

Google actively shooting themselves in the foot. Why would I choose an Android phone over an iPhone if Google continues to remove features and user freedoms that set it apart from apple's "walled garden"

Pretty sure that was RARE's doing, but Nintendo did greenlight it.

Yes, if you want company data on a device then the company would be remiss to not want some level of control over that device. This isn't some big brother-esque conspiracy. They want to ensure you're not stealing company information or doing something stupid which might cause company data to be leaked or stolen by a bad actor. This is pretty common cyber security stuff. Now if the company REQUIRES you to have company data on your phone and does not have the option to provide a company phone to you then I can see a reason to be upset.

The people saying "just pay for premium" don't seem to understand that in the beginning YouTube was free and had no ads. When google purchased it they promised to keep it that way. Then they slowly started with ads. At first they were pretty unobtrusive banners, then a short skippable preroll then multiple preroll then unskippable preroll. The reason I refuse to pay for premium is because Google created this issue and is now selling the solution. I refuse to be a part of that. It has nothing to do with the creators.

So he traded Firefox for... basically Chromium.

Ant spit. Nice.

Yeah, in theory it's great but every time I try it people just cut in front of me then slam on brakes causing me to have to brake then adjust then repeat ad nauseam. People suck.
