Anon goes to a donut shop
What did anon do wrong? It's a blithe, silly answer and bothers nobody. Anon can totally go back.

Anon is a winner
Probably an unpopular opinion, but the stories don't hold up under scrutiny, and that's apparent even from the first book. Then again, that's not how one enjoys children's books.

Japan's historic work ethic is declining—45% of workers admit they're quiet quitting
The phrase "quiet quitting" really grinds my gears. Are you fulfilling the terms of your employment contract? Yes? Then you're working, and haven't quit.

EA CEO Claims Dragon Age: The Veilguard Failed Due To Lack Of Live Service Elements
Yup, I didn't get it because there simply wasn't enough seasonal content, loot boxes, battle passes, and FOMO elements. Better luck next time EA!

It's time to stop thinking plastic phones can't be premium
Premium phones make little sense, based on what I've seen everyone puts them in cases anyway. "Premium materials" are slippery and "premium thinness" results in insufficient battery capacity so accessories like phone rings get put on them, and people carry around external battery packs.
Why not just make a grippy, practical phone that I can use as a tool, with removable batteries, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and expandable memory?

Yes, this is incredibly annoying and it's also the reason why some USB cables cost more than others, even they may look the same superficially.

Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools
A Microsoft representative (?) opened an issue for Explorer Patcher:
Hi Team,
This is to let you know that Win10 taskbar code is removed. And if use continue to use ExplorePatcheron Windows GE Build, they will see a crash. You only need to adjust the setup exe name to get around the block in your new version. We will continue to block ANY version that crashes Explorer.
Please let me know if you have any question.
Thanks Michelle
Makes sense to me.

extension attacked
Either Chrome has a vulnerability that lets extensions install themselves, or his system is far more compromised than he thinks it is.

Nearly half of Americans say tipping has ‘gotten out of control’
The worst thing is when they try to export this culture to other countries. Boycotting American gig-economy apps is the best thing you can do to try to curtail this.
