I don't agree with the Mac one.

The Mac UI is basically windows 3.1.

It's absolutely awful.

Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that's it. You can't open anything, you can't delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

It's so fucking bad.

It was never worth the stupid value it was pumped up to. Why do you think Elon has been dumping so much of it.

What I really don't understand is Australian restaurants adding a tip area on the bills.

Seriously, fuck off. Your already gouing us on the price. I'm never supporting or participating in a tipping system in this country ever.

Duck duck go needs a lot of work to replace Google search.

I've used it for years but often I still get the shits and just bring Google up after duck duck go fails to find what I'm looking for.

This is one of the weirdest statements I've ever read.

I don't like the repair policy of this company so I'm switching to Apple......

Tell me you live in a dark cave without telling me you live in a dark cave.

Fortunately you've got this left wing echo chamber to vent in for solidarity.

I'm with you comrade 🫡

I bought my wife a 'fake ' diamond ring for the engagement ring.

She couldn't tell her snooty friends that though, so she went and bought herself a very expensive ring with real diamonds.

She had the ring I bought her melted into my wedding band. I hate jewellery though so had no intention of wearing it. I agreed to wear it for a week after we got married. I've never worn it again. I haven't even seen it since that first week. Over a decade. I wonder if it's just lost, or she has it somewhere still.

I don't care enough to ask.

They have a paid method in place.

YouTube Premium.

Free access you pay with ads.

All of us cheapskates have been using adblock or YouTube vanced to get the service completely free.

I'm not going to curse them for making efforts to stop us leaching their service for free.

The woman was German.

Why would Israel give a shit about these people murdering Germans?

If anyone would be making a measured response it should be Germany.

If it was my daughter being paraded through the streets dead, I wouldn't be thinking about a very measured response right now. I'd probably be trying to level the entire country.

If I lived in a country where this was something to worry about, if worry about it.

It's not something I've ever thought about or considered in Australia.

Sure break-ins happen but violent crimes during break-ins... it's so rare I've never heard of or met anyone that knows of it happening.

My employer told us all the rumours were true. Layoffs were happening. They called it "difficult conversations" instead of firings.

About 1/5th of a team of 1000 people.

Apparently they hadn't decided who yet.

Meanwhile we just received the biggest bonus in the companies history due to historic profits.

Then the CEO told investors that they expect a big pickup early next year and will need to hire a bunch of people to handle the demand.

So they are firing a bunch of people for 6 months to hit financial targets in the back half of the year before hiring people again.

Everyone that is to be fired is still waiting to find out who will be axed.

I can. Have a meeting in Citrix and I happily work while people yabber on in the background.

The real killer is the face to face meetings. My group supervisor now demands anyone in the office on a particular day go into his office for the team meeting. That's a real time waster.

People online can't hear us properly standing around in his office. Can't get work done while standing in there.

Just let me work from home so I don't have a bunch of people wander over to me to ask stupid questions during the day.

If you want something send me an email and I'll get to it when I have time. Walking into my space, making me take my noise cancelling headphones off so you can yabber at me and break my concentration is so annoying.

I'm untouchable at home. I work until I need a break, then quickly sort questions and queries, then get back into my groove for another hour or two.

That's not true. You can get a gun licence pretty easily in Australia. Anyone that passes a police background check can get one. Yeah it takes 6 months but that's probably a good thing as well. You can't just make an irrational emotional decision and get a gun.

Also the storage requirements are quite strict. You have to have a proper gun safe to own a gun.

Then it's only single shot rifles and some pistols. We also have no public carriage. You can only move guns around from point to point, not just casually carry them.

It makes access to guns very hard for the average person. Yeah it doesn't stop organised criminals having more dangerous weapons, but organised criminals aren't going into schools and massacring people.

Strict gun control has been a really positive decision in Australia. Those who want to go hunting, still can, but kids, teenagers and crazy bastards have a very hard time getting them.

For example, how do I have the best experience gaming.... Switch to Lin........ Oh ಠ_ಠ

I get up at 4am on days I have to go to the office. Driving an hour to work at 4:30 sucks but it's better than driving 2 hours to work at 6:30.

On Fridays I either have the day off or have to work 4 hours, alternating each week.

I get up at 4am on the working Friday and finish at 8 exactly like this guy suggests because it feels like I have every week being a 3 day weekend.

It is shit cramming a full working week into Mon-Thursday though. My employer implemented the 4 day work week if we wanted. You still have the work the hours though, so it's quite shit.

I know quite a few people just went back to working 5 days to shorten each day.

It's gone now but for a long time we had a 24hr fruit shop.

Ah righto. First time I've left it unplugged for so long without using it. Had no idea the standby power draw would be so high.

I don't know when I'll have another chance to test this on mine but thanks.

It's that brighter dot to the right of the reflection.

Ok so I turned off sentry mode last night after posting my last reply.

12hrs later the battery is down 1%.

Need to make sure that sentry mode is off at home.
