  I never had to do it once. And compared to Win3.11, it was revolutionary. Though Oregon Trail stopped working on it, which was a bummer.

  95 was great. 98 was shite. 98SE was fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should AI Agents Be Classified As People?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s pretend we agree with this. Creating CSAM is highly illegal in all the civilized world. Would this mean that all those ai “people” flooding the internet with CSAM would go to prison for child sexual abuse?

  Lol that’s a fair point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP reportedly eyes Chinese suppliers for DRAM as global shortage sparks shake-up — analyst says memory chips are commodities that can easily be replaced⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Although CXMT is accused of stealing technology from Samsung to build its first DDR5 chips, the limited global memory supply could lead desperate companies to overlook this and buy memory chips from the company.

  Samsung, Apple, et al have stolen from each other at every turn from everyone and with no consequence. Who gaf that this Chinese company did it, too?

  After all, most end users wouldn’t care where the memory chips in their laptops and pre-built PCs come from, as long as they perform well and are competitively fairly priced

  Fixed it.

  An always on camera with speaker and microphone, to which law enforcement has constant access. All it needs is an always display. We’re ¾ of the way there, gents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In PS/2 days and before, there was no need for a driver. But it was just a pointing device, no fancy anything. Still, though, it was a tank.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My pop’s cheap Chinese mouse does the same thing, and it doesn’t rely on the internet (and, yes, I checked firewall logs).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They stopped, yes, in order to replace them with the abysmal excuse they have now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe, I don’t know, we don’t need every flippin thing to be internet-connected? Fuckin mental that a cert caused mice, the last thing to need to phone home, to flip shite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but no notch, so the bezel wasn’t excessive or needless. I still passed on it, though. But that’s a personal choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For xps price, they need to stick it under the screen. I hard pass on needless bezel and always on notch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenWRT router⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to be a little pedantic, for the sake of completeness, because I very much appreciate and value what Decronym bit did here and want it to cover any gaps that may arise (especially for newcomers).

  AP doesn’t necessarily have to be wifi or wireless; I’ve used many hardwired APs. WAP stands for wireless access point, though it’s almost always shorthanded to AP (more so now, maybe, because of a dumbass song with the same name).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess they think we’ll use it 365 days a year. Or, maybe, we’ll just pay for it 365 days a year. Besides the Xbox and their 365 line, where else did they use other 360 numbers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You misunderstand. Copilot is only the name of the app with the option to add Copilot to Copilot, but that’s an added cost, if you want to get Copilot with your Copilot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Office365 to Microsoft 365 to Windows 365 (that’s something else now) to Copilot 365 and now Microsoft 365 Copilot App.

  Honestly, I’m surprised 365 has remained static all this time. A little impressed, even.
