First of all, damn.

Second of all, try drinking water whenever hungry, or chewing gum. It may help. You already got so far, I even slightly jealous ^^’

Leave OP be, they just yeet their machine outta window and buy a new one.

Why do you think MS advises to do that for Win 10?

Thanks, friend! Fixed

As someone who doesn’t care for trans and is EU citizen…I too disagree, wtf. And the gall to moan about their work being replaced after they tried to replace someone elses xD

About being left behind - sheesh, I guess thisbguy was born with knowledge of all he did as a teen. Not like, had to be curious and learn it xD

Respect for update! And damn xD

But is there charm? :|

Poland. It’s not that summer is amazing - it just sucks the least.

It’s hot and everything wants to eat you, but it’s colorful and sunny and summer nights are ahhhhhh…

Autumns tend to be pretty. And rainy as hell. Meh.

Winter was pretty when I was a kid. Nowadays it’s autumn, minus pretty and plus balls freezin off. No snow, fuck you.

Spring is wet and green, but also cold. Good contender against summer, barely loses IMO.

Edit: Additional context - when it gets cloudy and grey in Poland, it gets fucking uber depressing. I dunno what it is, but almost can feel thr grey communist past creepin up…

“I am simply saying that because I care about you.”

“You cannot take it literally, you know what I mean”

“Stop pretending to be hurt and think it through”

“Stop looking for excuses and instead admit I’m right”

Worked shortly nights on a gas station. 12h shifts. Went homr and slept like a baby. No regrets because not full job, I averaged 140h/momth.

It was glorious…but I am a night owl xD

Bite me.

PS: It’ Murder Drones by Glitch and Liam Vickers, free on YT if ya wanna watch. Fun, condensed af, slightly scatterbrained in beginning tho (gets more focused later on). Whole one season.

Seen this in the wild where I live. Post reminded me of it. xD

Edit: Forgot context. Proudly displayed hiring advertisement on a wall of market known to be overworking it’s employees. A lot.

I don’t. XP was great, Vista sucked, 7 was great, 8 sucked, 10 was okay and 11 sucks.

But honestly where I live tech magazines try to push Linux every now and often. Which, paradoxically, alienates people from it further connecting it to “computer people”.

Not who you asked but I live in Poland and our self-checkouts are pretty flawless in my opinion. Simple combination of scale, bardcode scanner and touch screen and voila. Most shops that have them, have at least four of them. Supermarkets often have 6-8 and dedicated employee to oversee them, sometimes with their own touch screen and ability to bypass age checks or weight problems from their stand without moving to you.

They only scream if you scan something age-restricted or if weight doesn’t match. The second problem was much bigger in beginning, nowadays it’s actually rare.

Edit: Oh, and we do have that scan-the-receipt to leave. Again, early on they were…less than flawless, but today they work ok. Heck, one supermarket got it installed only a year ago and damn that scanner is snappy af. Sometimes scans code before I manage to fully position it xD

Did not know about the API. This clears a lot, thanks.

And about closed garden being wanted - if evrything goes through the people who made the thing, then these things are guaranteed to work on the thing. No wondering, no thinking, it just works. And such closed and tight thing was something I heard from people boasting iphones as best thing.

But part of the reason Apple is dominant is their closed garden approach - that is literally part of their product. I cannot understand how that’s a bad thing. For me it’s akin to a flute manufacturer producing flutes and everything is okay until they get popular. Suddenly they are hated because they don’t produce flutes incorporating parts from different manufacturers? Even if they produce them to allow exchanging the parts?

Same for Microsoft and their Internet Explorer case. I didn’t understand back then I don’t understand now why they lost lawsuit if they didn’t, IIRC, block you from installing anything else.

It would be different matter for me if it was for example Windows explictly blocking you from downloading another browser than Internet Explorer. That’s abuse. But just having a default made by the same company being bad?

But you are not enforced to use Windows or Android. Closed ecosystem is part of the product in this case. Nobody stops anyone else from creating, for example, Linux. So how is it anti-competetive?

Okay. One question.

Why would company A need to accomodate any other “app store” in their product, especially if one of their product’s selling point is how streamlined it is? I am not even talking about apple but in general, alas even in their case - they made it clear how it works. People accepted it and bought their product. It doesn’t hurt anyone, and they are not the only player either. So why attack them now? On what basis?

And I’m not even 40!

Not much experience, but quickly learned .bind() in JS after it switched me to window instead of object.
