Well of course he did. When you put the foxes in charge of the chicken coops this shit happens. WV has a nepobaby and a coal baron for their leadership…

You forgot the n^th generation copy of a copy of a copy that has no true blacks, just these weird grey pointillism bands that are so askew your basically writing at an angle.

I also have some horrendous carpal tunnel syndrome, if I’m filling out something on a clipboard, my already rusty handwriting is going to rapidly degrade even further.

No, it is on Best Buy. They could’ve shipped it via a known carrier but elected to go a cheaper route to save money. One bad egg doesn’t work when you’re a large company. Raise the price five dollars or eat the shipping costs and use UPS.

It should be noted that “microwave safe” containers are not necessarily food safe. It literally means they will not melt or warp the microwave.

No, this is not a humanity problem. This is a capitalism problem. Companies are not beholding to their customers, they are beholden to stock owners. It is no longer in their best interest to make customers happy, it’s in their best interest to provide ROI for their investors. Every software product hits a point of diminishing returns. There are no new amazing features to woo new customers, it is a mature product that only has incremental features. When this happens, you either flip to a subscription model and parasitize your user base, or sell to another vendor, management group, or some other entity who does it after you’ve been paid out. If we had better controls on mergers and buyouts there would be active competition to foster diversity and keep prices down, but when companies buy all their competition and all of the small companies who make products and enhancements for their base, it’s a lose lose situation for the end users. This is my jaded two cents after a quarter century of being in the IT/AEC field in the direct line of this enshittification process from multiple companies across the spectrum.

I’ve never sent a postcard. Born in 1970.

I don’t know when or how, but it seems in my lifetime we went from that. Having corporations that just did something well and left it at that to this idiotic grow or die mentality that seems to be fueled by investor ROI.

I think I remember that app? I’m going to have to go look that up. It’s shocking what one forgets in a quarter of a century.

To all of the authors below who have disparaging opinions on the UX/UI experience and or the download ability. It’s a volunteer project for a reason. If you have such grand ideas and abilities put your money where your fingers are and fucking sign up.

Because that’s the only way he can even begin to accomplish any goals. What’s the alternative? Working with Republicans what the fuck? The only way anyone can accomplish something in a two party system is to try to work with one of the two parties. Do you think he would have any better success with the Republicans?

Sorry, I just meant on the home/consumer market instead of business. I’ve been rocking a Lenovo T14s Gen 6 ARM since it debuted. 😄

I really haven’t been paying attention on the consumer side, are there a ton of systems in the works or out for ARM on windows? Everything I see due to my line of work is business class SKU’s they are not cheap and not game friendly. 😬

They won’t or can’t get their anti-cheat/DRM in as a kernel module. Would you trust that bunch of fucks to not screw something up terribly by trying to pop in something like that?

Never even got to a production release. ☹️

Samsung’s DEX had a downloadable Linux VM running nearly a decade ago.

Probably Douglas Adam’s:

The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With.” The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes…”

Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.

To be fair, most/all kernels are written on a hardware abstraction layer, although lot of that kernel was built off of VMS… 😂

Didn’t NT 3.x or 4.x run on a RISC CPU back in the day?
