Correct. One additional problem beyond the price hike was also the fact that the price came to be wildly unstable. One day it was bascially free and the next day it was approaching 1 euro per kwh, where as before, the price usually came to

Change for the sake of change is not a good thing. I'm still mad at Youtube for their redesigns, to the point that I moved over to Freetube, since I found normal Youtube that hostile of an experience.

It's not even that long ago that dual-BIOS boards had a physical switch to toggle between them. Guess that got cost-cut out of existence.

The list of mind-boggling design decisions MS has made at this point is so long at this point that I don't blame people any more for saying 'MS bad'. Just pointing at the start menu search and Everything tells you everything

Maybe, but not by default. But games as a rule don't give you the option to change this, so you're stuck with that one game and that one program using My Documents as a dumping ground without your consent, and now My Documents is

Ahh, for fuck sake. I really didn't need the one seemingly decent laptop manufacturer to turn out this way. Good thing I'm not looking to buy one for a good while.

I'd love to see this argument transfered to physical mail. Should it be illegal to send physical letters that are encrypted without also somehow providing the government with an unencrypted copy? If that somehow seams reasonable on its

I'm sure the Stasi would very much agree with him. The fact that he's actually saying this is incredible, and not in a good way. I'd love to hear him explain the government exemptions in the bill with this in mind.

I'm curious as to how many people are applying to the job and how many get called up. If you get 2000 applications and 50 of them seem very capable of doing the job, then this kind of pickyness is what you end up with. It's just t

The risk of that happening, while real and problematic, is not a real concern for most people, as the liklyhood of anything happening is really low. Same goes for the OS being more closed of. The normies, to out it that way, are happy with

Macs were at a bit over 10% market share in q4 2024[1], but it's also worth noting that the PC market is shrinking as a whole. Windows still has most of the pie, but the pie itself is getting smaller, since many find phones to be a bet

If the US democracy collapses to the point where there truly is no hope (think civil war or Trump declares himself king (or whatever other fancy word)), I'd imagine Europe will take that very seriously and push to get out of there and
