TBH all the models were quite good. Never had one that wasn’t solidly built. I think the Bekant was the best but also likely their most expensive.

I did task rabbit for a while a few years back and put together a fair number of IKEA ones. They aren’t the cheapest but damned if they aren’t solid af.

There’s no debate, it’s pizza.

I would 100% fix that

Basically middle finger to UX because branding. I can’t stand this clown.

Welcome to “windows as a service”. At this point Windows is basically like a freemium app.

Now that’s a paddlin’

Yeah no shit lol. On my last job which gave you about as much power as a 3 year old, I got real good with making it look like I was doing work.

Most businesses think “process” is critical but all process did was make me do 90% bullshit and 10% real work.

I could have done my last job in 2 days if it was just me doing things.

The problem is most of the idiots in charge think if we moved to a 4 day work week we’d do the work of 3 days.

I for one hope the next generations don’t die behind a desk while the guy you work for is off on a yacht living life like it was 1999.

Bruh, till I read this I was so confused, like Adobe is taking on Adobe? lol, what?

One small change can lead to a totally divergent path. Think about it this way. You are supposed to meet your SO today at work. But you forgot to brush. No big deal. Right? Well your SO says hello, so you say it back and then she gets a whiff. Well end of conversation and that’s that. No wife. No kids. Not with her.

Or maybe you miss that buss that you barely caught. Or maybe you win the lotto at 19 and that changes everything for you.

You’re thinking wrong if you think lives have to be drastically different in every way for it to manifest as a whole new life. It can be the smallest thing but that tiny, infinitesimal thing can lead to a cascade of change or shunt people down an entirely different path.

Lastly, your ancestors would also be subject to these events, making all their lives very different as well.

Butterfly Effect.

You don’t sound like you weren’t around the Windows Vista/Longhorn development days when they promised a successor to NTFS and then over the course of the next couple of years, would bail on that (and nearly every other promise made).

WinFS: https://www.zdnet.com/article/bill-gates-biggest-microsoft-product-regret-winfs/

And FWIW, they are developing ReFS, which looks like it will finally supplant NTFS, but given MS’ business model, don’t expect NTFS to ever really disappear.

Funny how no one ever considers this. It’s like they think some 12 year old can one day on a whim go to their doctor and ask for a sex change and they’ll start them on meds that day like hey I didn’t see my kid for the afternoon and now he’s got breasts what the hell!

What “inspired by”, buddy literally just jacked that X from the font. What a company boy…

PS: FWIW, Musk says that’s the “interim” logo (lol).

User: Hey new Siri, turn the living room lights off. New Siri: Ok I’ve hired a hit man to kill your grandma. User: thanks… wait what? New Siri: What?

Yeah I think he’s saying better for us, not better for you

xBender isn’t wrong tho

Your fiver profile said you could do this bro! Ok try now. Nope! Now? Bro. Ok hold up, lemme search Google right quick.

eXist. It’s just about existence now

Yeah it made pretty big headlines. It wasn’t so much the DRM but more the way they went about sneaking it onto people’s systems. And even after people were exploiting the kit, Sony did this:

“Russinovich noted that the removal program merely unmasked the hidden files installed by the rootkit but did not actually remove the rootkit.”

There are few companies I will never support. Sony is one of them. They have absolute seething hate and disrespect for their customers.
