We really need to work on this definition of "expect". It's expected from them to have such training but we know that in practice that is not what happens. So we "expect" they to be trained, but what we "expect

I recently had to install windows on 2 computers after some years without doing it. Had to spend an entire day debloating the thing. Had to use a handful of tools and powershell scripts to do it. I still can't imagine how they managed

I'm gonna counter the other comments that try to justify this somehow, and say: I agree with you, and it's not faster. With the risk of sounding old (get off my lawn): I assure you the megabytes of unneeded Javascript they're

Seems an interesting question, I googled for it and found a StackOverflow discussion... Just.. Wow. The ignorance of people is shocking. Some guy even said that it's not possible because a DLL can contain an entry point which is called

No, because the amount of people that actually follow through the warranty vs. just buying a new lamp is so small, that even with a bad product it's worth the cost of covering them.

What you're saying is heresy in a capitalist world. It absolutely is the root of all problems, but people, consciously or not, will deny it and try to justify how it is necessary or how accumulated capital is not the issue. Beware of t

Let's make housing unaffordable, make students be in debt for life just to graduate all while overworking them so they can't even rest properly. Why they don't want to live? *pikachu surprised face*

Seamonkey needs more love so they can keep up the engine with the web. The Netscape vibes is something I dearly miss.

Yeah, probably just jerry-rigged an extension and plugged V+ into a data line or something like that. Properly wired, it just wouldn't detect the device.

I agree but for people like you and me that use HN. But a big majority of people can't even read properly. That's why LLMs are disruptive. You think they're dumb, you should see some people I work with.
