“Wow, this is worthless!” And expensive.
Can currently buy a $150 laptop that can actually do things offline. Fucking $349 for a piece of junk that can only do something when connected to the internet and with a paid subscription is utterly pointless besides fixing the artificial problem of new version updates, i.e. Windows 11 > Windows 12.
35 people were killed and 17 injured. That is insane.
What is going on in China?? This isn’t the first attack of this kind.
I hope they don’t change the architecture of the machines too much. A lot of them seem like decently priced Linux machines with some tweaking.
I always love that all of them charge via USB type C, which is still not a standard for Windows laptops.
I just can’t get around that stupid AI key that should be the caps lock. Also hate that the computer turns on when you open the lid and no way to turn that feature off.
Kills me every time I think of how Robin could make everyone else smile and laugh their ass off but he was battling some serious depression on the inside and no one could do the same for him.
I wish he knew the true impact he had on others, both personal and around the globe to his audiences.
I suppose that’s a lesson we can all take from his life story. Be there for your loved ones and check up on them, even those who seem to have all the joy and happiness already, and don’t be afraid to open yourself up to them too when you feel life weighing down on you. We all go through something in some way and at some time regardless how it may appear on the outside.
When they took our photos? Oh that was more so for us as a souvenir. We got to meet and shake his hand and they took our picture and we got a copy of it to remember the occasion. About like meeting a celebrity at an event and they let you take your photo with them shaking their hand or doing something fun with them, just this being a political figure.
I was a kid so I didn’t have a photo ID, but I remember they did have me write down where I lived and my name and my great aunt gave them her photo ID to prove who she is. I’m pretty sure they did that also in case something happened, like if a bomb got left with him or something then they had a list of names of people who physically met with him. This was less than a decade after 9/11 so we were still in a pretty heightened time, security-wise. It was during the Bush administration and this was his Attorney General he appointed over the country. If I remember correctly, he was also the first Latino Attorney General, so they may have also been concerned for his safety because of that too.
Sort of. My great aunt was working with district attorneys and was able to take myself and some of my cousins out there. It was a pretty fun experience.
We rode a train and went to the downtown area and we also met the US Attorney General at the time where he had a photo op for all of us. Was my first and only time meeting someone so high up in the US government and I remember them checking our IDs and had us sign in with Secret Service before getting to shake his hand and take a picture. I have no idea where that picture is but I remember the event very well.
We got to see some of what she did and interact with her coworkers and hang around the city area.
Just did my former friends earlier this year.
Life is life. Gets crazy and we don’t work together anymore so we don’t get much time to hang out.
He blew up on me about me never reaching out but like when? And I apologized and said I would try to make a better effort to reach out.
After about an hour, he never texted me back and I realized that the last message sent before he blew up on me was me reaching out to him a few weeks prior and he never responded! So like wtf dude.
So then he or his wife said something and I never responded and they texted me a few times for a few days after but I never replied, let alone read the messages.
I was already on the edge about them anyway. They had a problem with everyone. Everyone eventually had a problem with them and it makes me feel like they’re likely the problem people in their various situations. They were very strict about things and it just never felt right with me.
I gave them my car that I was no longer using and they were super appreciative which is how we became friends, but I honestly was just trying to be nice. I wasn’t really looking for friends.
Idk. I feel bad about it sometimes but I also feel like it was long overdue for us to no longer be friends anymore.
People hateeddddd it lol. I really enjoyed it.
It was one of those games where you could play against bots offline but it was meant to be played online. There was no campaign or real story to it. And it was a first person shooter.
But I wasn’t aware of the original so I didn’t know what to expect like others.
If it counts, Shadowrun on Xbox 360, that remake multiplayer game.
If not, it was probably Deus Ex Human Revolution.
I didn’t really know about the cyberpunk genre until years later but DEHR was a blast.
I am and yes that helped a ton!
All of my banks even my small credit union let me lock the cards and also order new ones in the app and one updated my cards in Apple Pay so I could have a card in the meantime through Apple Pay. Very helpful for the places that accept it.
It is possible but it needs people to develop the OS for each brand of TV and jailbreak the TVs to run another OS.
Most TVs are like phones in that they have a locked down system and their bootloader/BIOS/UEFI is also locked down which is what ultimately needs to be unlocked to allow another OS to be installed.
Why there isn’t?
Just not really many developers interested in creating an OS for it. Probably because of so many different brands and models of TVs that would require lots of work since each one is pretty different from another.
Nobody asked
The auto closing is driving me insane.
I have 3 different computers I use on a daily and each of them encounter this issue multiple times each week. A meeting starts and I have to go start up Teams and wait for it to fully open to join the call. Or I have someone cold call me and I don’t get the call on my computer and won’t even after opening Teams.
They can do a full refresh and release new features to make it look pretty but nothing has been done to address this issue that has been ongoing since day 1 of this “new Teams” refresh.
I believe they will never allow users to delete entire chats like that because it will cause mass panic for users and managers, particularly. You already have users doing dumb shit like deleting files accidentally. And more than that, you’ll have managers getting upset that users may be doing it on purpose like “omg I never saw that message! 😱 “
Deleting your own stuff is easy and okayed because it’s not an easy process and it involves multiple steps.
I mute them unless I’m interested.
Most ads are obnoxious and feel like I’m getting a headache listening to the same repetitive, obnoxious voices/music.
Showing off your badass karate moves in the MRI room is strictly forbidden.
It’s really crafty and nasty. And it also allows users to go through the process without requiring admin access.
We needed to stay on Windows 10 for a few reasons at work. I had a few users tell me this or that broke and they could no longer use this function. Remoted on and found the computer was somehow updated to Windows 11. Users swore it was not their doing. I know what happened; it’s an update screen that has a decline at the very bottom corner far from the button to allow the update to proceed that most users don’t see so they are being intentionally misled by Microsoft to think they have no choice but to accept the update. And worse is that none of these users were admins. So what the fuck, Microsoft?!
It’s so infuriating and disgusting.
Thankfully we can now move to Windows 11 without issue, but that was a really frustrating time to be an admin and Microsoft deserves every bad thing that comes of users getting upset over this. Hopefully lawsuits to lose some money over it.
Voyager does this
It’s one of those things you have to try homemade, unfortunately. The only restaurant I somewhat trust is my aunt’s restaurant and even then it’s still not as good as homemade! But it comes close.
I’ll send you an invite next time we have one lol
They have one with 24GB of RAM?? That’s more than most consumer laptops.
