Does she realize what a complete arsehole that makes her look? She'd rather go to jail than treat people like human beings?

But you're not doing the first half, so you can't do the second half..
We had a guy at an old job who kept changing the permissions on his data to remove administrator access because he thought that would work. He wasn't an idiot generally, he just didn't understand how computers worked.
Preroll ads never made any sense.. those first few seconds are when you're deciding whether to watch that streamer or go elsewhere. An ad makes me go elsewhere without the streamer even getting a say.
Some streamers never use ads, but I think the bigger ones are contracted to do so.
And $500 installation and $500 'activation' (just call it $1000 installation FFS).
And a 'modem fee'.
They'll probably add a few more fees on top for the hell of it if you query that..
On the one hand I'd love a HUD which could, for example, remind me of the names of people I'd met before, or notes like 'remember to talk to fred about his shrubbery'. Or tell me which shops I'm looking at are open, or give me directions to my destination... or random shit like the name of the plant I'm currently looking at. You can do some of this with a phone but in-vision is so much more useful IMO.
OTOH the people capable of creating such technology are meta, google.. and I don't trust them one bit.
Even sunglasses help.. so I expect it would do that, but then you'd have to offset it by realizing you looked like a complete idiot.
Then if you try to provide a modern solution, get yelled at because 'not everyone is using the latest version' even though the modern solution works on everything newer than about 8 years.
That's kind of used in apps everywhere.. I can see why.
But not creating a symbolic link to 'firefox' when you install it, is a PITA. Apparently by design..
Off with this chatgpt generated nonsense.
It's gone further here.. we have shops with scanners so you scan the goods as you go around.. in theory speeding up checkout but..
- 25% of the time you end up selected for 'random check' so an employee has to come and rescan everything anyway
- If there are any 'restricted' items a like painkillers, a different employee has to come over and allow them.
Given the chronic understaffing meaning you're basically in a queue for attention, it frequently takes longer to get through the 'rapid' checkouts than it would if I simply queued up and got someone else to do it. But as far as the supermarket thinks they're winning as they pay fewer people.
Some of the better replacement connectors have guides that you feed the cables through so you don't get that issue.
It's a good skill to have, making your own, but there's no shame in going out and buying one & working out the details for next time without the pressure of 'my internet doesn't work'.
