the installer completely shit itself and the screen went black, could not recover from it

I don’t think that this is the standard experience people have. I’ve installed Windows 11 more than a few times for family members and for my gaming pc, and while I find Windows insufferably annoying, black screens were not part of the experience.

weird issues with my rgb and fan control software

That’s the motherboard manufacturers, that’s not on Windows.

All motherboard manufacturer software plain sucks. MSI, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte … the lot of them. Just don’t install that garbage.

I think the point is that parents have less influence than ever when kids are getting their values from online communities.

Oh, by the way, road works, 80km/h. Aaaand you’re free again! Have f- oh no, roadworks again, 80 pls. Ok done. Now you can really hit the gas! Joke, roadworks again haha, 80! Finally done, now we promise we don’t have roadworks anymore, enjoy! Aaaand welcome to the Netherlands, 100 please.

If that isn’t the most accurate description of driving through Germany, I don’t know what is :D

I always found driving in the Netherlands much more relaxing.

Ah yes, NL = Nur Links … I understand why you feel more at home there :D

At least where I live, the law allows for using flashes to indicate that you want to overtake.

I like it much better, than Eastern EU, where people are also going 150+, and are being assholes in the meantime

You should try Italy. Total culture shock the first time I drove there. Especially, entering via Switzerland where they are completely anal about traffic rules.

I think 10GbE is more intended for local applications than for internet. Say, you have a NAS with a RAID array of nvme drives for video editing purposes that you want to access from a few workstations.

Even the other day I was quite happy to have 2.5GbE when I installed my new gaming PC, and steam was able to pull all my games directly from my old computer rather than downloading them over the internet again.

Anyway, LAN speeds have always been an order of magnitude higher than common internet speeds, so I don’t see the issue.

My user.js file is entirely platform independent. I use it on Linux, Windows and even used it on my work provided Macbook. FYI: user.js only contains the settings you want to change, it’s not the whole prefs.js file. It’s just 63 lines.

I agree that chrome feels cleaner and needs a lot less fiddling to get right, but chrome is effectively dead for me. I switched to firefox for much more important reasons than a few UI annoyances.

Yes, to completely turn it off, it’s an about:config setting: extensions.pocket.enabled

Removing it from the toolbar just hides it, but keeps it running.

with every fucking install on every machine. for years.

Multiplied by all the other annoyances you have to turn off, via either gui or about:config, each and every time. I feel you.

I hop machines fairly frequently, use multiple browsing profiles, and often create discardable profiles, so I eventually just went ahead and spent some time tracing all the about:config equivalents of the settings that I typically change every time and then put them in a user.js file that I can just drop into my profile directory.

You can protect yourself from that with airgapping and backups. The bigger issue is probably that it’s becoming increasingly hard to source parts for such old hardware.

The kid’s like: I don’t even like drawing all that much, but I don’t want to disappoint my mom.

You can give me any file, and I can create a compression algorithm that reduces it to 1 bit. (*)

When you run out of characters, you simply create another 0 byte file to encode the rest.

Check mate, storage manufacturers.

I guess happiness is not an option 🙁

Does this mean they should make x50 or more than the average worker ?

x50?

Pigboy gave himself a $193 million bonus. Do you think the average reddit worker made $3.86 million?

I use Windows Terminal nowadays. It feels more clunky and slow than say, foot or kitty on Linux, but it’s functional.

Before, I used to use PuTTY for ssh sessions, it feels more fluid, but it needs a lot of configuring to get the terminal behavior just right, and the settings UI is really outdated. It also doesn’t support WSL (unless you run sshd on WSL and ssh into the system).
