Even so, this shouldn’t happen. Several persons did some really evil shit here.

I did a dick move because she was also behaving like a dick.

Really? That excuse didn’t work in Kindergarden and sure as shit doesn’t hold up in the grown up world.

Corporations are people. Its an excuse to be a dick.

A person made the call to evict her, not a corporation.

A person then told her, “nothing he could do, it’s out of my hands.”

Then another person cuffed her and dragged her out. “Nothing he could do, he was just upholding the law.”

“Wir haben das nicht gewust.”

“Befehl ist befehl.”

That didn’t hold up in Nürnberg and it still doesn’t.

Don’t do evil shit. Resign. Or be evil and fucking own it. “Yes. I did that and I’m proud of it. I got my bonus, fuck that old tart.”

Do not dare to hide behind “the corporation” or “the law”.

You.

You did that.

Guest vlan? Smart.

Blocking 80/443 knowing all to well everything depends on those: evil.

Throttling to 56k: the original original poster just being a dick.

Took 45 minutes: Maybe find another job. You’re not good at it.

Conclusion: The sister was right. Evil incompetent dick.

if you really believe Tim Apple isn’t doing the same shit only a Little bit smarter so its les obvious then I’m sorry to wake you from your dream but:

All big tech is bad. Apple. Microsoft. Oracle. Meta. Snap. IBM. Digital Ocean. Amazon. Etc.

There are no good guys. Only bad and worse. Its not the good, the bad and the ugly. It’s the bad (Apple), the really bad (Microsoft and most of the rest) and the obnoxiously bad. (Special place in hell for Meta, TikTok and Google)

Well, that’s easy. That must be “Kut”, which, not surprisingly means cunt in Dutch.

“small.”

Make no mistake. Gamers Nexus is a multi million dollar company.

Sure, Bloomberg is much, much bigger. But while gamers Nexus is the underdog, it’s not the toothless underdog. That little fucker will bite in bloomberg’s ankles before it dies and tbf: it looks like it’s already yapping and took it’s first bite.

You are born in the very very very best stretch the human race has ever known.

We have solutions for almost every problem which exists today.

Wars are at an historical low point.

Chances are good you’ve never been even experienced war first hand.

Housing is expensive, yes. But chances are you’re reading this on a couch or bed in a home, heated (or cooled), with a working stove, light at night and a fridge with edibles in it. And lets not talk about your immediate almost unrestricted access to all of human knowledge.

That would be unbelievable, impossible even during 99.9% of human history. (Or somewhere near this figure)

You should stop doomscrolling and start reading the real human history.

All of human knowledge at your fingertips. And this is what you chose to distill from it.

There where three. The full din keyboard plug, serial for your mouse and that unholy thing on the back of your sound blaster on which you could connect a joystick.

Yeah, sure.

You sound like one of those people who are the reason why we find the following warning on microwave ovens:

WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO DRY PETS IN THIS DEVICE.

And on plastic bags:

WARNING: DO NOT PLACE OVER HEAD.

We both know that this is not what it’s for. And it (model S) has never been cleared ANYWHERE ON THIS GLOBE as an autonomous vehicle.

(Adaptive with lane assist and collision detection) Cruise control/autopilot on, foot on accelerator, no eyes on the road, no hands on the steering wheel. That’s malice. There where visible, audible and even tactile warnings wich this guy ignored.

No current day vehicle (or something from 2019) has in it’s manual that this is use as intended. As a matter of fact all warn you to not do that.

And I get that you hate Tesla/Musk, don’t we all. But in this case only 1 person is responsible. The asshole driving it.

Thats not a gut feeling. That’s how every cruise control since it was invented in the 70s works. You press the brake or the accelerator? Cruise control (and autopilot) = off.

That’s not a gut feeling, that’s what stated in the manual.

30 years ago? So 1995. As one who was there: fuck no. The 90s where cool, everything seemed fixed, osties travelling through Europe in their Trabant 2 stroke miniature cars. (That was fun on the Autobahn) Only Saddam was jerking around and that was far away, internet was brand new, everything seemed possible. No terrorist threat of the RAF, IRA or the bask separation front. There was even hope for peace in Israel.

But if you would say 40 or 50 years ago? I would say fuck yes. It’s much better nowadays.The cold war was wild. The recession of the 80s was bleak af, Thatcher, Reagan. PLO, RAF, IRA, Basks. No man, there was a reason behind films like aliens, Terminator and punk music. Why they resonated with society at that time. Contrary to current popular belief the 80s was not a decade long neon party. Many people lost their jobs. Youth unemployment was at it’s highest ever. No jobs, no houses available. It was dark. Darkest time of my life. Everyone thought nuclear war was inevitable. We would all die of radiation or in the cold harsh nuclear winter. Yup. That was the Outlook at that time.

70s was the all time high of the cold war, oil crisis, something else i’m forgetting. But I was a small child back then so everything about that era is hearsay.

But for me? The 90s where good. 80s sucked hard. (End) 70s also had a lot of downs.

Point? Like most gifts, there is no point. You just got it.

Thats how I treat my life: as a gift. Because what makes me me, existed as matter for eons. Inert. And by an insane oddity it got “infused” with life, thought, wonder but only for an extremely short while. And after that short period it will go back into that inert state. So i do nice things which are within my reach. Things that makes me feel good. And modern (western) society gives us a lot of time to do that. I know it doesn’t always feel like that but if you look at it historically we have the most off time ever.

Nice things can be anything. Maybe meaningless on the Grand scale of things, but I like making my family happy. I love cuddling my stinky old dog(well, not that old), I hate gardening but love the outcome of it. And yes, I love wasting time on movies, reading, gaming, theater. Or hikes. Or travel in general. The smell of the sea. The feeling of being in a forest. That first time you played “The last of us”. that one specific movie. Or read that one fantastic book. That feeling when you finished it. Or when you went to that insanely funny comedian. Or just hanged out drinking beers (or whatever )with friends or colleagues. Its all fantastic.

And most of the times I like my job and try to forward my little society with it. (I work for a municipality) Within my own little means.

So… meaning? Of life? Experience shit. Make up your own mind.

And please: don’t use big tech socials. They’re made so you don’t feel good, get addicted to them. Get you hooked. It and it’s goals (sell ads!) are evil.

I’ve been inert for eternity. I will not waste that little time I have. Experience something. Anything.

If your phone is powered your location can be tracked. Secured or not: your location can always be tracked.

The rest is doubtful, always assume law enforcement has access at will.

Just don’t bring it.

I seriously cannot vote for a party which slogan was/is:

Vote no. Vote SP. (In Dutch this rhymes)

Really, with that slogan it just is a lost vote. They’re against everything. Or so it seems. Like Wilders the SP does not want to rule. Because ruling in NL means making a compromise. And they can’t. They wont do it. And thats been proven during the Roemer years. They could rule… but didn’t. Couldn’t risk it. Couldn’t compromise.

Like Wilders they want to stand at the sidelines screaming and fuming about everything which is wrong in their eyes. That’s the only way how they can legitimise their existence.

It’s better to vote for real parties who are not afraid of the Fallout of ruling in NL. Those who accept the probable hit to their popularity because they think the change they can achieve is worth it.

But SP, PVV, JA21, PvdD even GL of old… they don’t really want to rule. And i should also include DENK here. I’m a bit torn about NSC and BBB because they tried to rule but when faced with the harsh reality of being in government and finding those compromises they buckled. I Guess they’re finished because what they stand for, while laudable in some ways, just isn’t realistic. There are too many farmers in NL. There is too much nitrogen. A small country cannot produce the most pigs in the EU. It’s not sustainable.

NSC is build on the promise of being right, doing the right thing. But whats right for you can be very wrong for me…

Anyway, a vote for one of those is a lost vote.

And to add: Whoever thought it a good idea to put Timmermans at the front of the left… they are out of their minds. He is not charismatic, comes over as your annoying math school teacher you hated and left national politics not because he was so well regarded. There are so many very cool politicians on the left but Timmermans is not one of them. I just can’t wrap my head around that one.

Timmermans will lose them (again) the vote. Do something more with Lahlah. Or whoever. As long as its not the failed EU climate pope, Paulus de boskabouter , Timmerfrans or whatever nickname he carries these days.

He is the face of everything which was wrong with the PvdA.

Not that guy but another: No. You? Because Microsoft is a lot of things but walled gardens is something out of Cupertino. Not Redmond.

You can call MS shitty and I would fully concur but a walled gardens it’s not.

You don’t need ad, Exchange/outlook, m365, entraid. They’re nice for most users but you can live without and use other services in their place on any MS platform.

Now, iOS… Have fun with that.

Never. I sold these things long ago and learned quickly back then they are just scams.

You being lucky is an edge case.

I somewhat got your arguments. I just don’t feel the same about current day powertoys. They are not needed, don’t add anything useful and don’t work in a lot of setups. Current day powertoys are not what powertoys of the past where.

MS being focussed on the wrong shit to soon: well that has been true ever since the company existed. In the end looking back each and every innovation they did was needed but just years too soon and way too rough around the edges. I Guess we’ll see the same with ai. Some things will stick and be used by others but refined.

All the things you say are mandatory are a distraction at best. And hog a lot of resources.

Spotlight run: adds nothing except being a slow down. It’s not that different from the standard search/run box. It just looks nicer. Way nicer.

Fancy zones: does not work reliable on multi monitor/big monitor setup. Useless in my use case. Has been for several years.

Fie renamer: … Really? This is a power tot these days?

Screen ruler: i don’t need rulers on my desktop, i need them in my apps.

Color picker: same. I do not have any use case for it. This is standard app functionality.

Every time i installed powertoys in the last 4/5 years i shrugged, cursed at Fancy zones for not working in my setup and removing it after a few days.

That’s the same usage loop as rainmaker or most stardock tools by the way. Good ideas but fucks up to many things.

The new tabbed shell. (Or not so new anymore these days) Now that is a real powertoy. Or the lnx subsysteem.

Vista was great. It just needed double the ram which was standard back then.

There are still functions of Vista MIA in w11. It was far ahead of it’s time.

15? I pay like 80 euro for 1 year m365 family. That’s 5 Terrabyte for 80/12=6,66 euro/month.

That’s less then a cent per GB. Much less. Combine that with Amazon photos (Unlimited photo storage, included with prime) and i’m set.

There is no cheaper storage plan.
