So many people at work are having frustrating issues with Windows now.

It takes so fucking long to start up. Sure, you get a desktop and can open a program, but it just keeps locking up repeatedly for a good 20 minutes while whatever bloatware is running in the background during startup.

They cram OneDrive down your throat and it has constant issues.

They put so much shit in your way, in the name of “productivity” it makes your actual productivity worse.

FUCK COPILOT.

We’re not all hostile, but that one sure is acting like you pissed in his cereal.

I stopped my Ring subscription but kept the doorbell camera.

It wasn’t until a year later when I was moving and the house was almost completely empty (still had internet/wifi setup) and I looked at the wifi app and saw that the ring doorbell still had significant data usage.

They were clearly still capturing my doorbell video.

Wait. Worm brain man says no real proof of a connection?

Now I think there may be one.

TLDR: Who gives a shit?

A. Is it really necessary to split hairs like this here? You come across as just looking for a pointless, pedantic argument.

Obscure characterization of someone else’s motivation != anything useful. (Am I doing this right?)

B. He fixed his list so it doesn’t matter. And if you did see his original list, then you could just RTFA they linked and figure it out.

Being able to say something != Something should be said.

(Yup it looks just as pretentious when I do it.)

I appreciate the correction, but there were two names on that list that were mentioned in the article you linked as having turned down the money. 🤣

This list is fucking inaccurate. Nice job posting bullshit and muddying the waters.

You misunderstand. I went to from the A71 to the 6. I am only recently on the 9.

I am glad you have had a better experience than me. I am pretty happy with Pixel now but I am going to try the Graphene route this weekend.

I appreciate your response.

It was constantly giving out mistaken SOS messages. It would lock up and I’d have to constantly reset.

The final straw was when I was travelling to a work site I had never been to before. It locked up with a static screen and refused to reset. I had to stop at a gas station, at 4am, actually talk to another person and buy a map.

It was slow, buggy, constantly trying to get me to use their Samsung store, .etc…

When I moved to Pixel, it gave me the iPhone experience where shit just worked. And it integrated more things for me, which was convenient at the time. (But now I know it is scraping the fuck out of everything I do/see/hear.)

I just upgraded to the 9 and assume it’s scraping every bit of data it can from me. I will do it this weekend.

Sorry, no way I am going back to Samsung. I had the A71 and it was a TERRIBLE smart phone. I switched to the Pixel 6 and it was night and day.

I just need to get off my ass and install Graphene.

And this article is 10 years old. It has gotten so much worse.

Not really worried about any Tumu carriers.

Fucking Bravo.

This seems like an incredibly effective operation that simultaneously limited loss of human life (even if that wasn’t a metric or the intention).

Machines killing machines.

That blimp would be particularly vulnerable though.

It would need a pretty robust defense to protect it from missiles/other aircraft

Ooh, more baseless claims of China’s technological advancement.

I’ll file this in the bullshit folder with the rest of their bullshit claims.

Google has gotten so fucking dumb. Literally incapable of performing the same function it could 4 months ago.

How the fuck am I supposed to trust Gemini!?

This will NOT keep your jacket from wrinkling in luggage, a drawer, or a shelf.

Maybe if you hang it up after folding. /S

That’s because you looked “other”.

Just don’t do that next time, you should be fine.

(/S, just in case)
