My computer now is very close to that era of Dell.

You can select all and then download. If that doesn’t work for you, explain a little more about what problem you’re trying to solve.

I can only be relieved that my grandma never knew about Dre in the first place, so she can’t logically forget about him.

I told my therapist once that the most depressing thing I can think of is that I’ll never be done with dishes or laundry. One day I’ll be done working and can retire. I’ll do dishes and laundry until the day I die.

A guy at work says "past me is a bastard; future me is a saint.’

There’s stuff from early COVID which I haven’t installed, much less played.

No because it will autorotate at the worst possible time. Without fail.

Enjoyed the goatse reference in the meme.

This 100%. I’ve worked in some sort of IT all my life. It took what I loved and turned it into a job.

I literally yell “fuck you” at my alarm from time to time.

They did do some damage control. But it was a pretty terrible thing for the CEO to say.

I’m shocked (haha pun) that it still worked but it did.

Also the cord from the power supply to the outlet ran next to the sink.

Pfft. I have trazodone.

I was once so broke that I couldn’t afford a case for a computer I had.

So I brought my computer to a LAN in a trash bag and set it up on the host’s electric stove.

I’ve had a bowel obstruction. It’s not fun. Worst pain in my life.

This is the part when I’m supposed to say I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I would though.

We’ve been explicitly told at work to be courteous when asking Copilot for help because it gives better answers that way.

For everyone who isn’t trying to mine crypto, yeah.

The thing about people like Andy is they see everything through the lens of how it affects their business. Gail Slater could be the most evil person in the world, but as long as she’s “good on antitrust” then he thinks she’s a good pick. Someone not being in thrall to a fascist is more important.

In an updated version of his post he talks about how JD Vance agreed with Lina Khan on tech antitrust. He doesn’t mention (either through ignorance or explicit neglect) that Vance is behind tech antitrust because he believed that they were “woke” and would fact check obvious lies by him and his party. He wants them broken up based on viewpoint discrimination, not because he has a problem with large tech companies spying on us and violating our privacy. Vance probably doesn’t believe that anymore given the right turn the big tech companies have made in the last 2 months. As long as big tech is doing what the Republican party wants, they’re going to get a free hand.

Either Andy is too stupid to understand this or he thinks we’re stupid enough to believe him.

I turn off Folding@Home in the summer. Otherwise it’s on 24x7.
