Just wait until you learn about Intel’s Management Engine…

Congress. Oh you said corporations, not their property, my bad.

Hey good for you, unlike everyone else in this thread making up reasons why the tech is bad, you are mature enough to recognize the fear is from ignorance. I am in the same boat. I’m currently using a manager with MFA on everything which works well for me. Might look into this tech once it’s baked longer. I don’t like the idea of early adoption to a tech when it’s security related.

Boomers are still alive, so literally all of the rules ever as fast as possible.

Special standout for “dont believe everything you read” - “Well fuck you Ill believe everything without thought”

Definitely would have been my first choice to look also, but do you think that staples or office max is going to have something cheaper than amazon?

As someone who shaves regularly, my skin finally cleared when I began using alcohol and fragrance free aftershave lotion.

I was once told that it isn’t about making your mind blank, it’s about acknowledging the thought that rolls into your mind, and then letting it go. The idea being to train yourself to let trains of thought go. When I’m being a huge dick to myself with my inner monologue I can sometimes remember “oh yeah! I can just not think about this” and then I’ll let my mind go elsewhere.

There is a kernel of truth in that sentiment though. The government has a tendency to be grossly wasteful of resources, but I feel this is offset by the fact that they aren’t profit driven in their goals and less likely to skyrocket prices to line shareholder pockets. Corporation are also “wasteful” in a sense, where they charge insane markups over actual cost and refuse to pay taxes on them, the difference here is that corporations move their profits offshore and out of Americans pockets, where the government always ends up paying private contractors more than they should. In the end corporations do more with less while government controlled services are always WAAAAAY cheaper than their private counterparts for the consumer despite them being inefficient.

This is the part they don’t get. Do you want zero waste and ever rising prices for the sake of some worthless rent seeking billionaire cocksucker, or do u want some inefficiency, but you pay less overall. One makes someone else rich at your expense, the other allows you an affordable life while preventing another billionaire from existing.

Never considered the who would support you in advanced age argument. But I live in the US and any children I have would end up as probably the poorest generation to ever exist in this country, so not them I suppose.

Exploitation is the answer.

Do you have a quest for me?

I typed hunt and peck for so long that I can hunt and peck with my eyes closed. Though technically I’m not hunting anymore, just pecking lol.

Shame the article was talking about a mobile phone or that point would have mattered…

90% of the time they are “carbon free” through carbon offsets, which are generally a huge amount of bs.

Also if u know what sales tax is in ur state u can double it. It’s 8% I believe in Cali, so I double to 16% and then feels math it up or down

The government just doesn’t work for the people anymore. It works for the donors that fund them.

Just had an Airbnb cancel on us in Japan 1 week before our trip… Won’t be doing that again after seeing how little Airbnb gave a shit

This 100%

Windows is in a permanent state of shitification, it feels to be like they have sales driving development. Every year Windows applications make more and more stupid fucking decisions with how stuff functions. You can’t target a specific folder to save a word doc without 5 clicks to get to the fucking file explorer. You now left click to fix spelling instead of right click in outlook. None of this shit makes sense. They keep fucking around with how stuff operates for seemingly no rhyme or reason and all it’s doing is pissing off seasoned users. I know the devs aren’t this fucking brain dead which is how I get to “sales must be driving” mentality. Because sales people tend the be the worst fucking people to make decisions on shit,they’re good at charming people, they should stick to that.

Most likely just a written with little real tech experience.

Same, but this is our only option unfortunately.
