I hated school because there was a bunch of kids mocking and laughing at me for most of it.
I guess some popular kids had good times by pulling my pants down or constantly hitting my chair during class. They must reminisce and miss those times, when they were laughing with their peers.
I usually do. This was from my google news feed, which opens in Chrome. I could have opened it with FF, which has uBlock origin, but it's not worth it.
I just got mildly infuriated when this crap appeared.
I though this was the place for this but apparently not. I'll delete the post and never try posting anything on lemmy again. Have a nice day.
Rice. I know it's common in Asian countries but absolutely not where I'm from.
I'm a francophone and tried to explain that France is not "dépaysant" enough for a vacation and the closest word I came up with is "exotic", but it's not exactly what I want to convey.
Und dann es gibt wann und wenn.
I'm a native French speaker that learned English in school, and we had to get used to words spelt the same but with a different pronunciation and sometimes a slightly different meaning.
Don't worry, you'll probably get used to it.
However, an area where "AI" can beat Atari is is on energy consumption. "AI" will consume much more energy only to be mostly wrong. What a feat!
TIL that the US makes their prisoners pay for their food. I mean, obviously.
Just leaving this here.
Henry Ford is an American icon who was also a Nazi sympathizer with rabid anti-Semitic views. Under his leadership, Ford Motor Corporation became the engine of the American economy and one of the nation’s most iconic brands. Likewise, history books celebrate its founder Henry Ford as one of the nation’s greatest industrialists.
What a nasty question! Very nasty!
It became untenable well before that for certain people. It's all stuff that can be changed or disabled but the Start Menu in Windows 10 with the tiles, and its default search on Bing was infuriating. I do tech support and some clients just don't bother to deactivate it. There is also the whole thing about Microsoft removing parts of the old Control Panel and its utilities.
But another aspect of why they may also be losing market is how bad they have been with other architectures, like ARM. Windows for ARM seems to be lacking a lot. Even though they have been slowly getting better with emulation, they are still very much behind macOS and Linux. And I'm just a level 1 tech, but it seems like ARM devices and other low power architectures will slowly replace the old home desktops. They may have made a big mistake there.
But they still hold the corporate world and governments by the balls so, it's gonna be interesting to see.
Badgey?
I was working as a level 1 tech for a consulting company. I had to take calls and monitor the systems.
We had a ticketing system in place where we received alerts and various alarms in there. But because some of my coworkers didn't do anything with these and some systems (and clients) suffered from this, people in management thought it would be a marvelous idea to have those alerts and alarms make a notification in Teams.
So when some random location lost internet for a few minutes, we sometimes had hundreds of Teams notifications.
I quit last month. I couldn't take it any longer.
