I once had to do maintenance on a system that used an actual spreadsheet instead of APIs. It would load an excel file as a template, add data to certain cells and then save it as a new excel file.

I like to say “in the early century”

They are pretty decent these days. There’s only a handful of options where I live, but I have gone through all of them and Motorola is the only one I don’t really have much to complain about.

24 is “vinte e quatro” and it sounds similar to “vim de quatro” which can be interpreted as “I came on all 4s”

That’s not the reason though. 24 (vinte e quatro) is the gay number because it sounds like “vim de quatro” which means something like “I came on all 4s”

There’s two nines there: “95 issues in last 90 days”

Got Multiclass hero (Barbarian, Mage)

As a happy owner of a Brother printer, can confirm. The worst thing I can think about my printer is that its menus are in Spanish.

I only have one example and it’s not really a good one: 3-4 years ago I had one specific spreadsheet (that I got from the internet) which I used to help plan some stuff in a videogame I was playing. It had a table with a few hundred items with formulas that would iterate over those items many times.

Excel on the local machine could handle changes to that sheet instantly. Anything else I tried (including excel web) would take several seconds to change any value, sometimes even minutes.

It was probably some problem with the spreadsheet itself, but there was no other similar spreadsheet I could use so at the end of the day I had to use excel if I wanted to plan anything with that tool (but I ended up quitting the game within a few days)

Technically they only allow macs. Ubuntu was “meeting in the middle”.

We also had a situation where an employee installed the tool on her personal computer before she received one for work and then when she was laid off, the security team wiped her personal computer remotely.

The company I work for “had to” enforce usage of an agent tool that monitors if the computer is fully up to date on everything it is running - in order to get some sort of security clearance that sales team can then brag about to potential customers.

Said tool focused mainly on the most common OSs and is slower to update its data about others, like Fedora which I was using. So the company forbid me from using Fedora for work. I had to setup a machine with Mint, which doesn’t update nearly as often as Fedora does.

Then turned out the agent tool also had a bug that causes a GUI tool to launch itself once every minute just to let me know that it will run updates if there’s any. To stop that I had to disable the update manager from running on its own. Which I later found out caused the system to never update anything ever again.

The tool also never detected anything being outdated, even while I was running a 5-month-old browser version.

So in short: completely giving up on security in exchange for looking secure.

Apparently DSM6 is giving up on naming disorders and will instead name only the traits. So instead of being diagnosed as autistic and ADHD you’ll be diagnosed with Hyperfocus, Executive Disfunction, Maladaptive Daydreaming and stuff like that…

Couples? I have both myself. I only watch the subtitles.

I haven’t been horny since my early 20s

I guess it really depends on how you use the PC. I usually have 7 or more active programs at the same time so I avoid opening extra windows.

I use this a lot (on Zen browser); It’s pretty much the same thing as having two windows, but I find it a lot more practical in general.

The last time I used notepad the undo option worked both as undo and redo, since it only kept the latest change and undoing was also a change that could be undone.

I had a somewhat similarly awkward situation on German class just last week:

We had an exercice about listing our favorite things in certain categories and then we would pick up someone else’s answers and try to guess who it was. The list I picked up had “Holocaust” on it.

It was meant to be an example subject for the previous item on the list: History Books.

I really lost all hope when I saw someone tell chatgpt about an issue they were having with a certain npm package and the clanker said “ah yes that is an issue that was present oh version 2.1 of the package, it was fixed on version 2.2. I recommend you update it; here’s the full changelog” and then provided a whole list of things that had been fixed on version 2.2 of the lib.

Except 2.1 was the latest version of that package and they hadn’t even had any new commit since that version, nor any issues matching anything close to the described problem.
