Now that I upgraded to an iPhone with USB-C, I enjoy the convenience of having one cable for everything. Charging, connecting a display temporarily, data transfer, one cable. Never had a Mac so I didn’t get in on the Lightning to Lightning shenanigans, but I do prefer Lightning over USB-C. At least a Lightning port is easy to clean.
I’ll never forgive them for killing off the Lancer. I love my Lancer, would love to upgrade, but nope.
Windows has been alternating between good and crap for decades. ME, crap. XP, good. Vista, crap. 7, good. 8/8.1, crap. 10, good…ish. 11, steaming feces. 12 will probably be at least half decent.
Stage 4 is picking and choosing which meetings are worth your time to attend.
Anyone have a translation for apparently us geriatric 30-somethings who can’t understand a word of it?
Bubsy 3D. The controls were awkward, the platforming was horrendous, and the levels were nonsensical.
Potato buns are where it’s at. Light, soft, it lets the burger ingredients do the talking.
It was a local restaurant run by a shady businessman who’s known for running less than good quality restaurants. Whatever, I figured, it was cheap and close to my house.
Except me and my family were served rotten meat when we ate there. The manager only wanted to give us a 20% discount. Like hell I’m paying for rotten food. Never again.
Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.
She shot you a week ago. Wait for it….

If I had a nickel for every time a full power cycle fixed it all, I’d be rich. However, if you did power cycle before and call in again, often it’s an issue that needs deeper investigation. In that case, the tech can likely watch the process of your equipment coming online in realtime to see where the issue is happening. Network entry, authentication, package application, DHCP, it can often be monitored as it’s happening. A reboot while on the phone starts the process right from the beginning so it can be monitored to determine what happens immediately and what happens after it sits for a while.
Fortunately there are no commands to enter or buttons to click. They’re designed to handle losing power.
I work in the magical world of ISPs. If you’re having an internet issue, reboot your router and/or modem before calling in. It may not seem like much to you, but many background processes happen when you do so. This can be useful to troubleshoot where the issue lies. There’s a reason why techs will make you do so when calling in. And yes, they can tell on their end if and when you do so. So don’t bullshit them by saying you already did it if you didn’t.
Been charging my phone overnight for years. Battery health is 100% and I never have to worry about charging.
It’s a silly response to a silly meme. If this is how butthurt you get over such an innocuous comment, I highly recommend you touch grass. Soon.
For those of us who have ages in the double digits… who and what?
That is, if you’re still using Google search…
What’s a viable alternative? Bing seems to be just as rah rah AI as Google, DDG gives me oranges if I search for apples… if there is an actually useful search engine out there that isn’t actively in the process of becoming enshittified, I would absolutely love to know.
Pretty much. But publicly MSG still has that “ooo scary and harmful” stigma to it. It’s no more harmful than salt or sugar, but some weird racism against Chinese immigrants in the 40s created that stigma.
People are easier to control when they’re uneducated.
