Waaaayyy back in the day Dell had a real bad habit of limiting their low and midrange laptops to pitiful amounts of memory to stratify their product line even though the chipset might support more.

I do, polos are often okay but I have visions of the 80’s T-shirt dresses when I try on a lot of LT style casual wear… 😂 I think my best option are some diet changes and getting back to biking…

I’m a fat guy with a long torso. Due to ages and aches, I’ve crept up to a 4X which pains me. The thing that infuriates me is that every 4X seems to be very, very short. I don’t know if it’s a scaling issue with the patterns or they think everyone is a short fat fuck…

It’s the letter thorn.

I still prefer tar for quick and dirty same box copies.

I’ve been partially kicking Actual around, there’s a cheap shim that’ll talk to financial institutions they recommend.

I just finished Jonathan Maberry’s Kagen the Damned trilogy. If you’re into epic fantasy it’s a good read.l, even if feels a little rushed in places and the short chapters irked me slightly.

Now I’m starting How to Survive in Ancient Rome by Robert Garland.

Elecom makes a range of devices, I haven’t tried any of their mice, but the huge trackball is excellent.

You forgot the n^th generation copy of a copy of a copy that has no true blacks, just these weird grey pointillism bands that are so askew your basically writing at an angle.

I also have some horrendous carpal tunnel syndrome, if I’m filling out something on a clipboard, my already rusty handwriting is going to rapidly degrade even further.

It’s not the viability of the rust replacement of uutils that is the core of my issue. My issue is that mature code that has been tested, audited, and is stable has been removed for no viable reason other than it could have bugs.

I just finished “Hench, A Novel” by Natalie Zina Walschots. I went in expecting a light fun read but got something a bit deeper and complex. I very much enjoyed it.

It should be noted that “microwave safe” containers are not necessarily food safe. It literally means they will not melt or warp the microwave.

No, this is not a humanity problem. This is a capitalism problem. Companies are not beholding to their customers, they are beholden to stock owners. It is no longer in their best interest to make customers happy, it’s in their best interest to provide ROI for their investors. Every software product hits a point of diminishing returns. There are no new amazing features to woo new customers, it is a mature product that only has incremental features. When this happens, you either flip to a subscription model and parasitize your user base, or sell to another vendor, management group, or some other entity who does it after you’ve been paid out. If we had better controls on mergers and buyouts there would be active competition to foster diversity and keep prices down, but when companies buy all their competition and all of the small companies who make products and enhancements for their base, it’s a lose lose situation for the end users. This is my jaded two cents after a quarter century of being in the IT/AEC field in the direct line of this enshittification process from multiple companies across the spectrum.

I don’t know when or how, but it seems in my lifetime we went from that. Having corporations that just did something well and left it at that to this idiotic grow or die mentality that seems to be fueled by investor ROI.

I think I remember that app? I’m going to have to go look that up. It’s shocking what one forgets in a quarter of a century.

To all of the authors below who have disparaging opinions on the UX/UI experience and or the download ability. It’s a volunteer project for a reason. If you have such grand ideas and abilities put your money where your fingers are and fucking sign up.

Sorry, I just meant on the home/consumer market instead of business. I’ve been rocking a Lenovo T14s Gen 6 ARM since it debuted. 😄

I really haven’t been paying attention on the consumer side, are there a ton of systems in the works or out for ARM on windows? Everything I see due to my line of work is business class SKU’s they are not cheap and not game friendly. 😬

They won’t or can’t get their anti-cheat/DRM in as a kernel module. Would you trust that bunch of fucks to not screw something up terribly by trying to pop in something like that?
