Users have always hated computers but they now must use them and treat them as appliances.

When my parents needed a new computer, I told them “no hp ever, and don’t buy an anti-virus, it’s built-in now.” They obviously knew better than me and asked the salesman instead. They bought a hp computer with a McAffee subscription…

Not stylistic, it’s the language.

Smartphone keyboards are multilingual now. I can set it to French and autocorrect in English. But if there’s a bug, it may be confused I guess.

Here is some reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_(computing)

Actually Rolex are an investment. I’ve been told by a friend who has some Rolex that:

1. You can’t buy a Rolex, you must go in a waiting list
2. Buy the Rolex once it’s your turn
3. Use it for a few months
4. Sell the Rolex for $10k higher than the brand new price to someone who can’t wait

It seems to work somehow. People are morons.

Not only will this tell me the time like your watch

No. A cheap $100 phone is way more reliable than the most expensive Rolex thanks to NTP.

A friend of mine had one. We used to play in the garden while the game was loading. Fucking tapes…

I would ask for a refund because it’s a broken TV. I’m not kidding, who the fuck accepts this?

Making your own coffee is $5 for a whole box that lasts 2 weeks.

my phone was $1300 USD

How is that possible? I bought a brand new Pixel (old model) for less than $400 last year. And it is still expensive, I can get brand new Sony for $300.

I found out my parent’s computer had a lot viruses because they are dumb and bought a McAffee subscription. I told them, they answered that they knew better than me, I replied that I had a degree in computer sciences, and my father laughed like the fucking idiot he is.

Let’s say we don’t talk about my job or computer anymore. Also I reduced the visits and phone calls that they had because I’m tired with their bullshit.

It’s not smart if it’s not connected to anything. Only HDMI.

You’re talking about the American concept of having no privacy in public. Not all countries are like that.

Actually Clion is prone to eating all your RAM randomly. It’s Java after all.

I once fixed an important bug by force-pushing on the master branch (I was an admin too and could do it). I had 5 minutes to fix it, and no one was aware of it. I didn’t ask for permission but I was sweating a lot.

Spotify early projects may have used the pirated MP3s of the employees so…

As long as religion is not woman’s choice, you can force whatever you want.

No because it wouldn’t be a video anymore. You would need to create your own file format and application to read that thing.

Also why? It seems like a very limited use case and I don’t know any scenario where I would need that. No one encrypts videos except for those (idiots) who distribute movies in the theaters or on Blu-ray.

Same for me. I don’t know about the recent drama, but I remember that bluesky censored stuff and now they can’t pretend to be an alternative to twitter.

Banks are still running Cobol programs written by Jesus on punchcards. But it’s not the same use case, Linux is mostly running on servers without a UI.
