I dunno, a patina can look quite good though, if you like that aesthetic.

If you buy a “smart” washing machine and actually connect it to the internet, you deserve what you get.

The regular Tesla cars have inconsistent panel gaps already, I feel this is a production issue, not a material issue.

Beat me to it!

And they think AI will be any safer?

Given how deranged things like AI Dungeon are, I can’t see this going well.

I was already using Linux a lot of the time when Windows 7 was out, and seeing Microsoft push ads in the start menu, as well as all the other trash and pointless changes that they included with Windows 8+ just confirmed my decision to leave the Windows ecosystem.

I dislike NFTs as much as the next person but this is messed up. Even worse that it isn’t the first time. And how the heck did they get their hands on germicidal UV lamps without being aware of the difference, and the safety concerns?

I used to order meals sometimes through these kinds of delivery services but not anymore.

At first they were quite good but then they added extra “service fees” and the markup on the food increased, so did the delivery charge, it’s a joke now and I haven’t used them for a long time, and there’s no good reason to, now.

Linux is the way. Microsoft will never stop making Windows worse.

Is anyone still using CCleaner? I gave up on it years ago when it turned into bloated junk.

Actually, no. Windows viruses can work well in wine. You still have to be careful in that regard.

This guy seriously has the mentality of a three year old.

But Microsoft don’t want you to block ads either, so they’d never do that anyway.

4GB? More like 400GB…

What’s your definition of a “real job”? Do you think content creators just make videos without any effort?

The real version is on F-Droid

No, I like old cars too for the same reasons

I never switched from Firefox. Why anyone used Chrome in the first place is beyond me.

As others have said, there’s going to be some registry setting you can change to negate this. Short term, this should work, but may need to be repeated if any updates revert the change.

The long term solution is to just stop using Windows, because it’s clear Microsoft is intent on turning it into a bloated, ad-infested piece of trash.

Windows 7 (or arguably XP) was the last decent version of Windows, in my opinion. Once I saw what was coming next, I started dabbling in Linux. Now I use Linux most of the time. It’s definitely a big change, and there’s a lot of new stuff to learn, but I love having an operating system that doesn’t look like a corporate junk mailer pamphlet.
