Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you. We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of…

Not introducing, RE - introducing, just like how you could before. Alllllll the way back to Windows95, UNTIL YOU MESSED WITH IT.

Basically the whole post is “blah blah blah we screwed around with things so much blah blah blah we messed up file explorer blah blah blah we’re working at putting some minor things back and walking back forced updates a little and cramming AI into everything because that’s what we really want to do.”

Yeah you guys should really sort that out.

Oh, you know, only about 80 billion.

Could have given 10 bucks to everyone on earth, would’ve had more impact.

I take umbrage at item 4, but I don’t have the time for the correct kind of reply.

If you could go to chatgpt and put in this prompt for me and then read the result, that’d be great.

“Please make a long, meandering reply to the assertion that Nic Cage should not be in movies, stating that Nic Cage is perfect for those movies that need that Nic Cage energy.”

Lithium ion batteries have a sweet spot of around 60 to 80 percent charge where very little wear takes place to charge or discharge. If you could keep it to just that 20-30 percent usage in that range it would pretty much last ten thousand cycles.

Charging to 100 or discharging below 50-60 percent accelerates the wear on the battery, but it is still much better than the wear rate on lead acid batteries that are cycled in a similar manner.

I’m sure we did a cycle of network booting thin clients and windows terminal services about 10 or 15 years ago. 🤔

“Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… MASS HYSTERIA!”

If you can’t control yourself, you can always get the state to control everybody

“I can handle crack just fine! I don’t know why it’s outlawed!”

State control applies to a lot of addictive substances that cause material harm to society in general.

Stares hard at social media

because it is far from a secure number.

It is only the American obsession with using it as a unique identifier for everything in their lives that has caused this issue.

You mean “shuffle” like when you shuffle a deck of cards and have exactly the same cards still but in a different order with no single card repeating because you started out with a deck of cards and why would there suddenly be an extra card or 5 of the same face value in the deck because that’s just crazy talk? That kind of shuffle?

Yeah sorry, Spotify doesn’t do that.

You get oxygen free copper because you install it permanently and don’t want it to rust and fail and have to rip out your ceiling and walls

Copper wiring is protected from the elements (that is: oxygen) by its insulation. The gauge of the copper wiring is a far greater factor in audio quality than the voodoo science behind OFC.

You don’t have to worry about corrosion in your speaker wiring unless your speaker installation is literally in the ocean.

All I want to know is just how many veils has that soundstage got‽ Here I am, just having a soundstage like a sucker, and they’ve got veils they can lift!

But what’s the point of having your newly-purchased $3000 wooden volume knob and polyatomic copper ring bus lift yet another veil from the soundstage if you’re blindfolded?

Love me a good <MARQUEE>!

Is the ✨sparkly emoji✨ the <BLINK> of the 21st century? Discuss.

But it’s definitely not perfect and tends to add unnecessary changes, I constantly have to review and add new rules.

This is the bit that bugs me. I spend a bit of time to create a relatively simple application in C# with it, and it’s constantly tacking on new features and four extra command line arguments and it’s frothing at the mouth to add Cool Feature X, “just say the word and I’ll do it”.

Just do what I asked. No more. That’s enough. There’s enough mangled code and logic errors lurking in there already, I don’t need any more “features” clouding the water.
