Confirmed, although I’ve been looking at a live-aboard yacht instead of a micro farm. (not rich, but the housing market is so crazy that these things are in the realm of being cheaper than my house)

Go ahead. Trump is a whiny little bitch, and Kash is his googly-eyed lapdog.

Depends on the game and platform really.

Been using game cheats since IDDQD and IDKFA. I’ve never used a cheat in a multiplayer competitive game, that’s like cheating at golf. No one really cares what your fucking score is, and cheating ruins any and all accomplishment and personal validation from competing. At that point, you’re just being an asshole to other people for imaginary clout, and you should really consider what is gratifying about playing in the first place.

Supposedly, that is the whole deal with the Chilean Sea Bass that he gloats about. Spared no expense. Apparently that fish sounds fancy, but is actually super cheap. The whole park needed to have the shine of a top-of-the-line facility, but in the end, Ingen and Hammond had no idea what they were really cooking up.

The raptors for instance, I always got the feeling that paddock was kind of small and rapidly constructed. Those things had killed multiple people in the past, and the park’s response was cram them into a jail cell. You’d think an intelligent, dangerous animal, that was not part of the tour or experience would be euthanized, rather than risk the whole park…but here is Ingen not dealing with the problem, and instead, actively making more raptors.

Don’t even have to invest. In my area, a 100% renewable supplier was about 30% more per KWH, all of that extra overhead was paid to keep old unprofitable coal plants online. That’s capitalist efficiency for you.

Managing printers in 11 is the worst. The sad part is that the old-style devices and printers menu is still in the OS, you just have to dig for it a bit, and it works 1000x better.

This is true. Rumours I’ve heard is that all your data will just be in one big blob, and every application is just an AI agent sorting and displaying the info for you.

So you could open a word document in Excel and it would format the info as a table, or you can open a PowerPoint in Visio and it would make it into a workflow chart. Same data, just presented differently by AI “wrappers”.

Who?

Windows 8 came out in 2012, and was in development years before that.

Windows 8 is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft. It was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, made available for download via MSDN and TechNet on August 15, 2012, and generally released for retail on October 26, 2012

Laptops is a subset of PCs. Only 10% of laptops were touch, not 10% of computers.

80% of users are dumb. A touchscreen laptop is an expesnive way to get your screen dirty.

Ah a windows 8. I remember reading the promo materials for it. An OS designed around touch, with the goal of doubling the number of touch enabled PCs on the market.

Guess how many PCs were touch-enabled when windows 8 launched…

1.5%. Whomever is driving at Microsoft needs to be moved to an Amish community and prevented from interacting with any kind of electrical device ever again.

I have a bunny named Felix. He likes to lick things, so I called him “Licky Bun” for a bit, that turned in to “Felicky”, which turned into “Licky” and finally “Licker”.

When I come downstairs to work in the mornings, I when I walk by his enclosure and whisper “lickerrrrrr”. The other day my partner told me they hear this every morning, and it’s like an alarm lock.

Yeah. It’s always fun “convincing” the bean-counters that spending money is usually cheaper “in the long run”.

Soecifically, my department was refurbishing laptops to enable us to keep our new hires supplied with computers. We asked for a nice new computer for a department VP coming in, and we got told to send a refurb. That guy put in about a dozen tickets in the first week about how one of the desk workers had a newer computer. We just sent those straight to the team that denied giving us the money for new computers.

And because management lacks nuance, that extra budget came with a new policy…“No more refurbished computers”. So when an intern got hired, and all we had was a few refurbs and a 2200 dollar executive 2-in-1 ultra book, we sent the ultra book. After 3 layers of that guy’s bosses submitted immediate tickets demanding to have their brand new, lower spec machines replaced, accounting finally decided that they should let my team do the work we were hired to do.

All user logons to a non-persistent OS installation such as a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or equivalent as application packages must be installed each logon in such scenarios.

Cries in supporting multi-user AVD Hosts

It’s really useless too. If I wanted to cheat on a test so fucking bad, I’d learn to read braille and just stick reference material under my desk.

Real answer is that the direction AI is going right now is to save money for billionaires, not to improve the lives of everyone else.

Honestly, this works more often than not.

Oh yeah. If you’ve got 4 GB ram, win 11 is going to absolutely skullfuck that machine.

You’re goddamn right.

2016, we got a dictator because people wouldn’t vote for checks notes a “lesser evil”.

2004, we got a warmongering fascist with daddy issues because we wouldn’t vote for checks notes a “lesser evil.”

The irony of saying this when we literally have a fascist dictator trashing the Whitehouse because we checks notes didn’t vote for the “lesser evil” last year.
