Teams is probably the worst IT mandated software I've used in my career (which is saying a lot). I don't think Microsoft really cares about it.

I'm not sure I understand the "horrifying" part - is paying for your own loan it?

My handwriting has turned into a mix of block letters and cursive over the years, and has become increasingly less legible since it is so rare that I actually write anything that isn't typed. I don't really have a consistent signa

In my experience it's not just 20-somethings. I've sometimes started watching something with CC accidentally turned on, and then realized it made the clip/movie/whatever easier to understand. My parents use it as well, a

That, plus even if they did give a shit about you...who cares, it doesn't affect you either way.

I would say that is very debatable, but it is possible that I am not Linux-savy enough.

I've known people who have an aversion to doing anything alone in public, even going to the grocery store. It seems to be mostly based on them feeling judged by others.

I think you mean KDE-savy - I've been using Linux for over 20 years and had no idea what this heading meant.

Not really Poe's law. The statement may be exaggerated, but is also true to a degree.

I haven't ever seen a single popup ad for Apple services - what are you referring to?

I think a lot of people abandoned it after Zoom acquired it.

I did the same by buying a Brother B/W laser printer. I think it may be the only reliable printer I've ever owned. The rest (both expensive and cheap) were junk.

The same reason a product is never finished and there is a never-ending churn of "features" nobody wants or needs.

> just use Monero The on-ramp to "just use Monero" isn't that simple for over 99% of users I'm guessing. Also, if they have your IP address logged, does it even matter how you paid?

I can't disagree with that. I think in many cases they are nothing more than a financial drag on the company.

You get what you pay for. My experience at multiple companies has been terrible with offshore developers.

Netflix's content quality has gone down significantly in the past few years, while at the same time increasing in price. I can't see how this wouldn't just result in a very large amount of cancelled accounts.

To make it worse, I have gate code to enter my complex - I have succinct, exact instructions including the gate code and how to navigate to my building. 90% of the time they never even read the instructions, call to ask for a gate code and

I would be surprised if any CEO would ever actually say there are layoffs until they happen.

Mom and Pop shops aren't all that reliable compared to Amazon. I've seen some with wires hanging out of the ceiling.

It was more than the ESC key imo, though that was my biggest complaint. It was far too easy to mistakenly hit the touch bar and trigger something unintended. I also found zero real use for it aside from looking nice.
