made* in America

*units shipped from China to an Argentinian facility (South America is technically “America”) to add the gaudy branding, then shipped to the USA for sale.

People do be the stupid.

You greatly underestimate the sheer fucking stupidity of some people.

I prefer when my wife wears nothing under the apron…

Fucking disgusting

My work phone and work computer are both company-owned, so I don’t generally count them. But I suppose not every company is like that.

Sounds like a work computer. Doesn’t really count.

Consumer Windows was just a GUI on top of DOS. NT-based Windows is objectively better than DOS-based Windows. Though both are still equivalent to a pair of brain cells fighting for third place.

This is not ‘things were better when you were fifteen.’

It absolutely is rose-colored glasses, whether you realize it or not. This entire thread is.

I think people were just relieved to have a viable upgrade path from XP that wasn’t Vista.

Linux HDR support is so bad that it makes the entire OS not worth using.

Really weird hill to die on. HDR is nice, but it’s not that nice.

Good god 🤣

I hate how accurate this is.

Agreed on all points.

At least 10 could be unshittified to an extent. But I don’t run Windows on any personal machines at all anymore, so its a moot point. My work laptop belongs to the company and is managed by them.

Windows 10 was fine until they started trying to patch all the ways to avoid using a Microsoft account. Windows 11 is horrendously worse.

My work laptop, a Surface Laptop 7th gen, runs Windows 11. Adobe Acrobat will grind it to a halt. Fucking how.

“More than 200 stranded Iranian sailors return home after US torpedo attack”

Same amount of words, but the grammar actually makes sense.

I swear to god, this piss poor grammar is intentional.

Take him into a backroom with promises of a soft couch.

Then just fucking shoot him in the head. Lights out. No fanfare. Just gone.

Shit like this makes me glad I have no car payments, a relatively newer pair of cars (2008 Sienna, 2015 Highlander), and a pair of “apocalypse-ready” vehicles (1980 Mercedes 240D, 1980 Honda XR500). And a little 49cc Honda Metropolitan for around-town stuff.

And yes, I have most of the tools required to work on all of them.

I deleted my linkedin account (as much as they would allow, anyway). I visited about twice a year, usually on accident.

Good riddance.

Maybe he’ll finally feel like the rest of us do.

Well, I don’t have proof. That’s why I used the term “pretty sure”.

Some things should be taken at face value.
