My wife has a dress with pockets and she didn't notice that for months because she didn't think to look for them and they weren't obvious. Same with a nightie. As someone who wears cargo pants, I was amused at her excitement.

Why does it seem like any issue with Windows is met by "INSTALL LINUX!!!!". If the check engine light on my car comes on I am not going to buy a truck.

Well, there's going a lot of credibility going poof.

I got bullied in the locker room and used a padlock to try to defend myself. I got in trouble for using a "weapon" and had to apologize to my attackers.

What's to keep someone from using a botnet to install tens or hundreds of thousands of installations?

Biden should have a toy shark on his podium during the debates.

Sunderman should have kicked them out for lying, not out of "concern" for the potential behavior of boys. As soon as he made that claim he went into the wrong. If the boys can't behave properly then kick them out. It's like how a gal shouldn't have to worry about being raped because of what she is or isn't wearing or doing or not doing. We're telling females what to do or not to do and not males what to do or not do.

Rules of Tech Support:

Rule T18 - You are incompetent. You just don't know it. At least, that's what your replacement will think.

Rule T18A - You will have to deal with techs who are incompetent.

Rule T18B - Sometimes, you really are incompetent.

Allowing apps to update automatically often means that advertising and feature removal or nerfing, etc., can happen. Checking manually has saved me a lot of grief.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Online_Privacy_Protection_Act

Introduced by a Democrat and passed by a Democrat President.

"Although children under 13 can legally give out personal information with their parents' permission, many websites—particularly social media sites, but also other sites that collect most personal info—disallow children under 13 from using their services altogether due to the cost and work involved in complying with the law."

Why doesn't the website support HTTPS?

Did you make sure to remove the EXIF metadata? It would be ironic if it has the image location coordinates in it.

The IoT needs an ID system, an IDIoT.

Evernote. Mentioning adding AI is code for incoming price hikes and limitations.

Iran has very good reason to not like us and Great Britain since the CIA and MI6 staged a coup of their democracy in the name of sweet sweet oil.

That entry needs a ELI.

How about not attacking people who express a liking for Windows?

Who are all these that these ads are working on?

People with Ph.Ds will sit down at a keyboard and drool out of the corner of their mouth while contacting tech support.

The article is from November 29 and the change is to take effect on December 4, which is a bit late for this post.

My mother-in-law did a phone call and I chewed her out. I couldn't believe it but then she complained about "kids these days" being on their phone at a restaurant and I pointed out that she was holding her phone and that we were at a restaurant. She shut up.

The CIA thanks you for your service.

In Star Trek Online the fleet shows up years later and attack the station. They weren't destroyed just relocated in time (no pun intended).

I don't see /r/windows10 and/r/windows11 doing that well here.

The first paragraph was easy for my previous employer. At the start of the interview, my interviewer pointed out the wallpaper of his brand new grandson. During the interview he noticed that I kept looking at his monitor. When he asked why I was doing that I asked why he had it on the lowest resolution. We switched places and I changed the resolution. The wallpaper disappeared and my heart felt like it had stopped.

Thinking quickly, I said that if the picture was on the hard drive that it would have reloaded and it obviously hadn't been downloaded so it must have been in an email. He smiled and said that I was right and I spent the rest of the interview in his chair and I got a call that day asking if I could come in that day.

I'm reminded of a post recently where someone asked how to get rid of a dialog in Windows and got swamped with replies saying to install Linux. It's like getting a check engine light in your car and being told to buy a truck.

My car serves my needs more than a truck does. Not only is it easier for a wheelchair user to get in, I can load/unload easier and it's more comfortable for me to drive.

She sounds like a snowflake.

But does it run Crysis?

what is your art if it’s not engaging with the issues of the time? What is your art if you’re claiming that it’s not political? Because the point of art is to tell the truth, and you’re lying.

Say what? Are they referring to just a specific type of art, like political art?

CCY = Currency KYC = Know Your Customer AML = Anti-Money Laundering

And you might not have a smartphone or smartwatch with you. I've seen people who needed a calculator to do basic math.

We need to hunt down whoever these ads are working on.

When Windows 95 was in beta I would install it and next day it was dead. We finally realized that the BIOS was killing it.

They're called shadow profiles. They were also using information from the contact information in your phonebook.

When I did polls over the phone I dreaded the political polls the most because they were 30 minutes long and if they didn't get finished then I got into trouble. Generally, 10-15 minutes is when I would be asked how much longer it would take. I didn't want to tell the (full) truth so I would say that it would be a bit longer. Sometimes I would tell the full amount. A few people would be okay with it but some chewed me out.

The Jiffy Lube ones were only 5 minutes.

Trump skipped the White House Correspondence Dinners.
