I went all in so I wouldn’t change my mind but the first year I was pretty nuch entirely problem free. I have had issues since, however. But compared to the work I put in on Windows unfucking things I think its been trivial.

You don’t think you are being a tad judgemental?

People whose lives revolve around fashion probably think you dress like shit.

People who love food probably think you eat like shit.

People who love cars probably think you are a shit driver.

You probably love computers and care about privacy, and you are shitting on regular users(assumption, admittedly) for not being invested.

They had something that was working, you present noscript, thing no longer works. If you are not invested, how are you going to see the appeal of extra work?

It’s been really holding me back in learning coding. I felt pretty comfortable at first learning javascript, but as I got further the code was increasingly hard to look back to and understand, to the point I had to spend a lot of time understanding my own code.

Does it truely matter after the code has been compiled if it has more full words or not?

I would agree

Sweden here. We have Starbucks but it is far far from popular, I think the main demographic is young women, Swedes don’t typically go for sweet/weak coffee like what they serve.

Dunkin’ has existed but I think it absolutely failed.

Pizza hut exists, but not in many locations, however they have been around a long time and I think they are moderately successful.

Burger King snd McDonalds thrive and have many locations. McDonalds struggle in the northern region where people swear by Max burgers instead.

Subway exist with moderate amounts of locations, have been for a long time. Probably doing okay.

Kfc is rare, but exists in the larger cities.

Dominos exists but I don’t know who is buying, in my opinion its sub par pizza at a high price point with poor service and long delivery times.

Classic Microsoft move to implement something new, then not let go of the old thing and run them jankily side by side. Settings / Control panel is a prime example.

And at work its janky crossovers between Active Directory and Azure/Intune/Entra/other dumb names.

I’ll be sure to inform my whole company and I am sure they will be on board

Telegram is my favourite IM app, but it doesn’t do all the things that Discord does and is not a viable replacement.

I have both of those apps and they have a fraction of the functionality Discord has.

Discord my have issues in terms of not being foss, data collection etc etc but other than that I think it’s a chat app that has no viable contender. Nothing comes close to the same out of the box functionality.

I guess it could steal maybe some 90s cars with remote fobs, but I don’t think it can do modern keyless entry cars in any useful way.

Hey so I know you deleted the Edge shortcut from your desktop the last three times, but this time I think you’ll really like it, so I added it back!

Nothing just works.

I run Linux, not because I think it’s great, but because Windows is awful, and keeps getting worse. Furthermore it keeps abusing its majority market share to get away with increasingly scummy behaviour.

My Linux experience has been a lot more tinker free than Windows. There’s a ton of distros to choose from for the uninvested, my 60 year old mum runs Linux at this point and the only difference is she stopped calling all the time for tech support.

Charging money is actually illegal in most parts of the world

Ah OK, I would have expected it to be quite a lot colder than that.

Yep it’s what people in northern Sweden have been doing for probably at least 40 years now.

Yeah I have actually been kind of baffled no one else mentioned these, are conventional engine heaters not a thing outside scandinavia?

I want it mostly for aux in various cars. Also neat to plug into PC speakers and such.

I’d pass up on fingerprint scanner and nfc before the jack tbh.

I didn’t bother reading it all but seems like the writer is mostly complaining about their personal tech issues and blaming their house, which seems to have an almost ideal setup for building a good network.

Overlooking that is very possible, but I guess I expected more, isn’t The Verge a tech site?

I have had no issues either, but setting a PC up for my little sister I quickly realized that for her it was a lot different. Games like Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant do not run.
