Hah, I used to do tech support and this is spot on. Then again, that was happening no matter what. “Click the ‘X’ in the corner of the window” would have them pressing the X key on the keyboard or asking “what’s a window?”.

That’s why you leave your work laptop at work and tunnel in from home!

No one wanted to use any shitty social network they make anyway, so there no reason to try to hard to push people away.

Ok, off the topic here, but I don’t recall Spock using the mind meld on rocks, but that is fucking hilarious.

I haven’t had any trust since in Windows since about mid Windows 7 and that was probably unfounded.

Most gas pumps in the US just constantly loudly blare ads (and “news” that is also ads) on screens with no way to mute it. I’m not sure if that is what you’re describing or if you mean some other possibly worse variety.

Top notch headline. I’ll drink to that!

That makes sense. I mostly heard “yacht rock” crap from my parents, which I ended up hating with the fire of a thousand suns, so i can’t relate :D

Not the previous poster, but you’re of correct of course. The issue is that when multi-billionaires can get loans at nearly 0% because if their ridiculous “unrealized” wealth and then claim “nope, no income here” despite their “unrealized” wealth increasing significantly, there is clearly a big problem and needs a solutions.

I am sure there could be some nuance used in any restrictions against said loans or tax against said weath. Someone before used a “$50 million” value as a good starting point, and at first glance that seems reasonable. Hell, you could easily make that number ten times higher and still cover most of the worst offenders. As long as there is an upper ceiling that stops these wanna be wealth hoarding dragons it’s a good start.

I mean, I did the same, but I’ve tried a few now from reputable brands and they keep timing out or just not working properly until I reboot.

Agreed, I am also on that cusp (a Xennial if you will) and Springsteen was never in our contemporary music selection. I still like that he did it, but it’s points at pate boomers and early to mid Xers.

My back pain already makes me feel old, no need to throw memes at me.

It was an HP Elitebook with 64GB of ram and 1TB nvme drive for $800 (it had stacked discounts at the time). The price then shot up a month later to twice that, so I can’t really regret it based on the current ram price insanity. Still, my coworker just got a framework a few months ago and I can’t help feeling jealous. I am mostly annoyed by the lack of built in ethernet port, fuck wifi.

We haven’t exactly had good luck with Highlander sequels tbh. I bet Cavill is well aware of how bad they are and wouldn’t want to be in one.

If you have lawn issues, you may also need to call some BBS Sysops for backup.

No wonder the billionaires in the US have been totally fine with all the bee killing pesticides. The bees are the only ones fighting back.

I wanted a Framework when I was pricing out a new work laptop, but at the time it was going to be months before they’d have what I wanted ready for shipping and I couldn’t wait that long. I ended up getting a crazy good deal on a laptop with 64GB of ram. That being said, I still wish I had a Framework compared to this thing.

Your whole foods experiences are way cooler than mine. When I go it’s usually some combinations of very wealthy women and “all natural” people looking for supposed super foods. I only go because they are the only place around that has a good selection of items for some food allergies/sensitivities that people in my home have.

Now I’m picturing that old anti-piracy ad that said “You wouldn’t download a car, would you?”, but way funnier.

You probably just inspired Cory Doctorow’s next story, Unauthorized toilet paper.
