Give it another read. He gets pissed off all the time and for the most bizarre reasons, like the time some people he was teaching don't understand his parable and he's asked why he teaches in parables if people have trouble unders

Companies should be required to divulge the exact reasons for account termination as well as all internal communications related to that termination.

Does the grit extend to Jesus himself? That is to say, do we get the Zen monk-style Jesus from modern Western media or do we get the anger-issues Jesus from the Bible?

Not broken perhaps, but I regularly click a link to a product and get a page about a totally different product.

We're just now noticing the edge of the cliff rapidly passing eye level as we fall. Every time tech gets easier, its users get more ignorant. Microsoft can take a shit in our mouths with Windows 11 because the average Windows 11 user d

Not local, but small and competitive was nice. Electronics were so much more fun twenty years ago. Nowadays a company is a bold risk-taker if their glass sandwich has an extra button on top.

Imagine the number of dead PCs if that Verge video hadn't been riddled with dislikes.

What I find frustrating is that fifty years from now, no matter how bad it does or does not get, people will look back with disbelief at how we failed to implement what will seem to them the obvious solutions.

Brilliant? As I recall it has light bleed issues and doesn't even let you adjust the color balance.

I tried that, but it makes fullscreen applications like games behave very oddly and inconsistently and required constant fiddling.

Amen. I'm pretty sure 7 is the last Windows ill ever feel happy about installing.

I think anti-profiteering laws could be helpful. If you bought land and built a house and want to live in a quiet neighborhood until you die, fine. But maybe if you vote against expanded housing you don't get to sell your house for mor

There are some 30 and 32 inch 2560x1600 monitors, such as from Dell, but they're mostly geared toward offices and artists and have terrible input latency and response times.

I would use subtitles all the time if it didn't ruin dramatic and comedic timing. I often find myself wishing movies and video games had "proper nouns only" subtitles.

I don't understand why 3:2 and 16:10 have taken over the mobile space but if I want one for my desktop my choices are 1920x1200 or a thirty inch, thousand dollar monstrosity with bad response times.

Vista was fine except for all the OEMs installing it on $300 Office Depot shitboxes. I still miss being able to have My Computer as a menu across the top of my desktop.

I'm convinced there's an alternate universe where Windows 9 brought all the improvements of Windows 10 without treating the user like a contemptible moron.

I have to say, learning I could download books off the internet and read them on my Palm was a transformative experience as a child.

This should be a reminder to the rest of us that IT and technicians are humans with human vices, and a large fraction of them will look at anything they can find. For every nude that gets posted online a thousand are added to personal colle

Many of the books in my library came from used library book sales, especially those I read as a child. When I read them again I always look at the checkout dates and wonder about those people, whether the book had the same impact on their l

That argument sounds good until you remember T-Mobile, a company with less than half the annual revenue of AT&T, has absolutely no problem servicing any device with the proper frequency bands.

I can attribute this decline to various factors: In my opinion the author missed a large one: Mozilla chose to chase after Chrome's market share instead of focusing on the reasons people liked Firefox. For years there were a ton of

A cell tower can't interrogate a handset for a list of supported bands?

Generally, but with a lot of exceptions and weirdness. For example, my OnePlus 6 is not supported, but if I modify my IMEI and APN those "impossible" features like VoLTE suddenly start working. Before they stopped automatic activa

Not really. There have always been smartphones that supported both GSM and CDMA. The three major carriers not only use different LTE bands, but also Verizon and shortly AT&T (in February) have adopted a whitelist model where only select

Where can you get e-pub books? Basically nowhere. Legally. If you're willing to break the law you can essentially get every book ever written in a few minutes via torrent. Truly vast archives are available at surprisingly small file

Hey now, that's libel. There are problems that can be solved by rebooting, and a Microsoft MVP would never post a genuine potential solution. I'm pretty sure you meant to say "an MVP popped up in the newsgroup to copy/pa

As very much a non-mathematician, his method does not seem remotely intuitive to me. Whether that opinion is invalid because of my lack of skill or more valid because I'm his intended demographic I'll leave up to you. For this ver
