I worked so hard for so long that I'm like this and it's awful.

When I get time off, I don't know what to do with myself. Right now I have a full time night/ weekend job and I'm attending university with 5 courses. This summer I'm considering picking up another job because I won't know what to do with myself.

"The good news is we have a console for people without internet access, it's called Xbox 360"

First their drm is based around the assumption that you're a criminal, and now this. I'm kinda glad I didn't buy it.

I use fedora on my thinkbook with Gnome/PaperWM and my upgrade experience was ezpz.

Rabble. It's themed with my other devices, Pibble, Pabble, and Ribble.

I don't even know what my display drivers are.

They're handled and updated by the operating system.

Once a week I check for updates, and click a button to install anything I want updated.

I literally have no clue what you're talking about.

Yeah linux sucks unless you want to browse the internet, do office work, or play games.

Anything else is basically impossible.

The problem I have is normalization. People complained about micro-monetization in video games, but that was normalized. People complained about corporate interest in open source, but that's normalized. Now people are complaining about your operating system advertising to you against your will, it will be normal soon.

Look at them, embracing open source like this, how wonderful.

I'm not sure I need to onion my torrents. I feel like routing through a decent VPN is probably good enough. I guess if I had all night to transfer a 5MB PDF document that was going to collapse a government this would be what I'd use?

You're not psyched about the pulyarbnnntelpc shell? Finally, a smartphone maker that's not afraid to experiment with materials from the hell plane.

"It's a Rust based..." You son of a bitch, I'm in.

I wanted to go electric, but I live in apartments and rent, and it's hard enough to get property management companies to fix the furnace.

The 8gb ram MacBook works great for your average Mac user. The person who uses it for writing resumes and surfing YouTube which I'm sure is a huge chunk of the market. Devs/Gamers/power users can't make do with 8gb, but my sister in law who just does paper work and teams meetings all day is served well by her 2016 laptop, and wouldn't have any issue with an 8gb MacBook.

I'm actually super mad at the stagnation in the way of life.

The first manned flight was 1903, Apollo 11 was in 1969. I'm still going to work by chasing an exploding machine on four round dinosaurs, the same way someone in 1969 would. I still get hungry and homeless the same way someone in 1969 would. I have an 8 hour, five day work week just like someone in 1969 did.

This is bullshit.

My dude, never mess with work equipment. Own up to your mistakes with the IT department, and they can fix it on their end.

This is true, and honestly my biggest gripe with the phone. I don't wear small mitts, and I can only comfortably reach 3/4 of the way up the phone. This is exacerbated by the fact that phone application design is in a very top-centric stage right now. I wonder if there's a way I could extend the android nav bar to take up the top 1/4 of the screen...

The death of small phones is why I'm so committed to my flip 4. The space it takes up in my pocket or bag is so much less than any "regular" phone.

I gave up getting my ged. It wasn't worth the time it took just to get everyone to agree about what you need.
It sucks that some jobs require it, but weirdly enough I managed to get into university by upgrading a couple courses.

This is more or less what I was getting at. Windows UAC triggers so often with no context that's its really just an annoying popup to most users. You need to pass the same UAC prompts to installing Excel as to install a root kit or a compromised software package.
