I once suggested we make cardboard cutouts of our team to stand next to printers to keep them in line

If I remember correctly, BEFORE he was even inaugurated

Same, except 3 regulars above the ultra wide

So normal they forgot to even include it

If the data center is causing all that power drain, they should be the ones footing the damned bill

I actually really liked 8.1, preferred it to 7 once I got used to the Start Screen. Surprisingly well designed, actually found myself preferring the menu over 7’s

10 had the best start menu in my opinion, but the quality was just an ever advancing downward spiral.

Now, I can’t even stand it, deal with it at work as much as I have to, but at home, the only Windows machine left is only still on it because simulator peripherals are a pain to get working right on Linux sometimes, so my dedicated simulator machine still uses that, but it’s used for nothing else

I think my last count hit north of 500 tabs…

I… I may have a bit of a problem…

Not to mention, did we ever find out what happened to all the stuff that had been in the East Wing?

Hell, I heard that the Resolute Desk had been spotted at Mar A Lago…

I don’t even get the point to the flashy BIOS interface, the thing isn’t something you should be spending much of any time in. You get in, make the change you intend to make, burn a sacrifice as an offering to the gods, and hope that it works out right.

LibreWolf is a solid choice, I use it as well

Well, more battery isn’t the only thing they could put in there… Like said, I’d love my fingerprint scanner on the back again (even if I’ve stopped using it to unlock my phone… Thanks, dystopian hellscape the US has turned into…)

I can recommend checking out Zen as well

The idea of needing to jailbreak a laptop you own is just insane to me

Sounds good to me, I think the camera bump is one of the dumbest design decisions modern phone designers have forced on us. Just make the thing a uniform thickness, gives them room to put back those things they removed in the quest for more thinness, which they never could have really done because of the optics.

I lost my fingerprint reader on the back because they wanted to go thinner and I’m stuck with the significantly worse screen reader, all so I could get a phone that’s more awkward to lay down without a case that effectively limits or eliminates the bump anyway, so nothing has been gained.

Only the nice ones, the naughty poor children get free coal

I am so glad this wasn’t a thing when I was in school, I can’t think of much that would have made me more angry than having to defend something I wrote myself against accusations of plagiarism

Or worse, being written by AI

I’d say “don’t give them any ideas” but I’m pretty sure they’ve already thought about it and have it planned for the near future

And the icing on the shit cake is it peacing out after all that

I remember people hating on DS9 and TNG as well.

Pretty much every series has had plenty of people who just hate it for not being the previous series.

Which is why I ignored people dogging on Discovery and just watched and enjoyed it, same as the rest.

(I’ll admit to being harsh on Enterprise at first, but a lot of it was that intro… Plus, it did take a while to get its feet under it)

The good news is the last episode isn’t exactly canon. The way it was presented as a holodeck adventure, any amount of it could have been made up, and probably was.

Really, all it added to canon was that Riker was hitting up the holodeck a lot during the events of a pre-existing TNG episode.

It truly was about as terrible and insulting a send off as they could have come up with.

I didn’t like the theme song at all at first, but near the end of season 2 it finally started to grow on me.

Then they changed it and made it more poppy in season 3 and I never, ever grew to like that version, it was just awful.
