Tbh, most people would drop more than the price difference on clothes that they will never wear. Just look at the new car market. Hardly anyone buys the cheap model, so for a couple of hundred bucks, I don’t think anyone really cares about this. If they have the disposable income, they will probably just buy the pro because of the perception that they are buying the best.

For me it was Scomo by a country mile. Abbott had some peculiar views, but he didn’t seem as totally incompetent.

Beautiful, it is surprising the amount of people who think this is what is looks like through the naked eye.

iPhone unlocked with Facebook opened in the safari browser (no meta apps installed, and the only two apps approved to user the microphone in the security settings are Teams and my Banking app for voice security prompt). We were watching Fast and the Furious on the TV in the loungeroom and we were noticing videos pop up on Facebook on the phone for Honda Civics, then Toyota Supras etc. We then started joking talking about KFC and beer as a test, and within 10 minutes we successfully started seeing ads for Beer, KFC. We then tried another when we started talking about Bryan Adams tickets, and sure enough, we got an ad to buy tickets to Bryan Adams. It would take about 10mins from talking about a topic to things about that topic to start appearing in the feed

I use Facebook for some hobby groups, and I only use Safari to view it… the other day my daughter and I were watching The Fast and the Furious movie and I started getting my feed full of all the cars from the movie… so we did some experiments saying words like KFC and beer while the screen was opened, and we started getting beer and KFC ads in the feed… i dont know if the app makes it worse, but it was certainly a bit of an eye opener

So a bunch of companies never participated in the MacOS beta or Apple charged something after the final beta?

As a non-American looking in, this quote seems to fit … “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." - George Carlin

Yeah, I use Windows LTSC which doesn’t even have the App Store, and to date I have missed it 0 times

How many Danny DeVitos is that?

Because we have been conditioned for 30 years to use a search engine

Tell us to get fucked

I always thought this is why the Facebooks and Googles of the world are hoovering up the data now

Spring has started a couple of weeks early here (normally early September), but for me, this was one of the coldest winters that I remember… (south east coast). I don’t deny the science, just going by how it felt

I just take it as they have put it on hold till win10 support expires

Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary…

It will end up like the rocket that blasts through the ring of space junk in Wall.E

In Australia, this ride is known as the Vomitron

If I had editing skills, I would remove the bit where they are underwater trying to get the ship door closed… I didn’t mind it except for that bit

I thought I read that Intel said this was from messing with voltages? I have had plenty of these processors in the last couple of years and never experienced crashes, but I don’t overclock

I just can’t believe this was only 8.5m… I know companies with thousands of affected machines, and that is only in one state in Australia… maybe they actually mean ‘pc’ and not server…
