My user case could basically be summed as running apps that I never wanted on my phone in the first place.

I can understand your frustration but were you not aware of the software lock in when you bought it? I'm not defending the ownership erosion, but I avoided these things specifically because of who was selling it and how it was locked t

I know they raised the price recently but it seemed pretty obvious to me they were selling these at a loss to try and get people locked in by the software.

IIRC it didn't even ship with the original Windows 11 release and was a year behind or so. Did it ever even get out of beta? This was the only feature of Windows 11 that was remotely interesting to me. I guess I don't have to worr

I remember swapping back to a yellowed 24x drive from a newer 72x back in the day. The 72x could copy large files faster but the time it took to spin up meant if I was reading an single file (like with a games CD check) the latency was horr

This is my policy as well. If one comes rappelling down on me in my basement I tend to just blow on them so they fly away elsewhere. Every one of them that eats earwigs can stay as far as I'm concerned.

Its sort of like the student loan forgiveness thing to me. I certainly feel a lot of these people, maybe even most of them, got taken advantage of and screwed and maybe we should cancel the loans. But with no accompanying effort to prevent

It's my understanding that RAR has some kind of built in data recovery like PAR and I believe had better encryption support early on. IIRC traditional zip encryption was kind of a joke, maybe it was neutered to comply with the export r

Facebook once demanded my driver's license to verify my account. A couple months later they suddenly didn't need it anymore.

It is likely illegal simply because everyone you caught deer jacking with a spotlight would say they were just looking for a deer they previously wounded.

I've just heard your mind is better able to recruit strength from the dominate side so your body doesn't need to brute force it with extra muscle. My left pectoral is noticeably (to me) larger than my right dominate one. Not sure

The biggest weakness with redbox is that is just doesn't have much of a catalog as I understand it. I've never really used them. My local library is the next best thing to netflix DVDs, but it isn't the same at all.

I'm quite annoyed that netflix let their DVD service just rot. For quite awhile I was using it as a nice value add to the couple of streaming services I had, to watch new movies or catch a single show from some service I wasn't in

I was expecting more discussion on this. The closest thing to info on this I've seen is statcounter's Desktop OS share. According to that Windows has actually lost 15-20% marketshare in the last 10 years. It doesn't look like

This reminds me of the Dink Smallwood source code release. In addition to the author saying he was somewhat embarrassed with the quality of his code I remember the changelog included something like "Removed over 1500 instances of the w

This may well require to much time to do depending upon the material. I remember a math class that drove me nuts because the instructor used overhead sheets. Usually they were at least limited to output speed of their own hand writing so I

K chips often came with higher default clocks and definitely have better resale value so they're often worth buying even if you don't overclock.

Lets not forget all the typosquatting looking domains Microsoft uses. It almost seems like they bought them up to protect users, forgot why they did that and said "hey we have all these domains, lets use those?"

We're so far gone that we now bolt garbage touchscreens into the middle of the car to distract drivers by default. The same thing that would get you a fine if caught is OK as long as it comes with the car. Or is it? My car has a warnin

Pretty sure crash test requirements are the cause of a lot of the shrinking sight lines in modern cars so any newer car is going to have these kinds of problems to some degree.

I've seen cash stations offer a cash discount. It was always less than my credit card's gas reward and required me to go inside the station to pay.

You did still need a product key to install so a keygen might be useful. I don't know if Microsoft did anything to somehow block commonly used product keys.
