Stop being a weirdo or go start a tech company so your behaviour is at least expected.

First thing I had opening my work laptop yesterday, notification pop-up titled “Open and pin Copilot!”

Fuck…OFF!

The last time I had a Seagate drive, it was 1.2GB

I don’t think I could get off if my partner was wearing these hideous things.

Or anyone else in the room for that matter.

So, the Cyberpolice were never real? 😯

What?

I don’t have either of those things :(

You could try going old school and seeing if you can see the files with command prompt, first in Windows, then by rebooting to prompt if that fails.

You can then probably move files with the commands.

Let’s say that you’ve just significantly upgraded your GPU. If you were getting the most out of your CPU with your previous GPU, there’s a good chance that your new GPU will be held back by that older component. So now, you need a new CPU or some percentage of your new GPU’s performance is wasted. Except, getting a new CPU that’s worth the upgrade usually means getting a new motherboard, which might also require new RAM, and so on.

This guy’s friends should keep him away from computers and just give him an iPad to play with.

Easy. Atlantic Sea Society!

AU is taken, mate. But I reckon Australia would be bloody on board too.

Wow. Just in time.

I thought this wasn’t a legal requirement of US carriers, sharing their towers for emergencies. Maybe it’s a state thing.

There’s kind of been an increase in things being more accessible and usable by the standard user where previously they would need to be quite savvy or know a language.

But, yeah, I can’t think of much else. Not user-based tech anyway. Just the usual insignificant increases and a bunch of bullshit no one asked for and actually ends up using, but has to pay for.

I think smartphones are an excellent example. Most people wouldn’t notice the differences between a second-hand $150 Samsung Galaxy from five years ago, and the latest flagship for 10× the price. The innovation is almost entirely unnoticeable.

How good is hospital recovery?

Sure, there’s some cons, but you basically get a free card to game relentlessly, undisturbed, and guilt-free. Tragically, you eventually heal up and have to go back to being a normie.

Yeah but it’s like the gearbox. While everything’s pulled apart, you may as well swap out the clutch, bearing, and flywheel too because they’ll need replacing again first. Especially if better versions of them are now supported.

There’s just a lot of thought put in for the user. Excellent UI and productivity features, so much customisability. It’s super fast and light. Then there’s built in blockers, VPN, all the usual. To top it all off, it’s made by a small group of Norwegians that hate corporate control and love an open and free internet. They even have their own fediverse instances.

After I had spent an hour going down the rabbit hole of tweaking every UI element so the browser was now my browser, I was hooked. I still have to use Firefox at work, but I now find it intrusive, sluggish, and crude. I also hate having to restart it for updates lol.

I prefer Edge over Chrome, and if I had to choose one, Edge is definitely better. But gladly I don’t have to choose one and never will. Been with Vivaldi for years after switching off FF.

Yeah but they don’t have the money to introduce quality governance into this. So the brain trust of Reddit it is. Which explains why LLMs have gotten all weirdly socially combative too; like two neckbeards having at it—Google skill vs Google skill—is a rich source of A+++ knowledge and social behaviour.

I’m a follower and just go with Corsair Vengeance. Hasn’t ever let me down.

I think all my SSDs are Samsung. Nvme are Kingston and so I like to think they have thick Jamaican accents, mon. No issues with any of it and some of that storage is getting real old.

Thing with PC parts is it’s worth paying a bit more for quality. Ends up being much cheaper in the long term.
