you used to be able to escape the ads and bullshit by installing a retail copy, though. not anymore. in the current version of windows 10, you aren't even allowed to disable sending your start menu searches to bing without manually changing the registry.

Reply to anyone looking for ios developers lol? by hollyhoppet
i happen to know of a company with an iOS-shaped hole it needs to dig itself out of, but it's based in Antarctica and it'd be short-term contract work, so probably very inconvenient with taxes and paperwork and all that

as you did not prefix these statements, i have no choice but to act in a manner in which i'd get into a lot of legal trouble if they aren't true

Reply to comment by Moonside in Cryptoqueen: How this woman scammed the world, then vanished by Moonside
I just don't like the framing of cryptocurrency scams as a phenomenon no one could have predicted. Media plays a huge role in hyping up these scams with uncriticial coverage, and some people will inevitably invest because they get the impression they have to jump on the bandwagon or lose out on an opportunity.
I take back the "dipshits", though. I didn't realise the extent of the scam, and it's not fair of me to be judgemental towards people who lack impulse control.

Reply to does anyone remember thinkpads by twovests
Oh yeah, I remember the Thinkpad.
I got an X270 back in 2017 and got to experience, in no particular order, the joys of:
-
Crashing during a firmware update on day 1 with the stock OS install, then having to use another computer to figure out there's a tiny reset hole on the bottom because holding the button for 5 seconds didn't work.
-
Keys having weakened clips and popping off after 5 months of use.
-
Clit^H^H^H^HNi^H^HTrackPoint™ drift.
-
Not being able to type because the Windows drivers stop key inputs while the TrackPoint™ drift is happening, and it's very difficult to get it to stop.
-
Sudden shutdowns with "musical" error codes you need an app on your phone to decode. Really.
-
Touchpad literally disintegrating beneath my fingers from day one. Tiny balls of microplastic just rubbing off for every stroke of the finger. Look up "thinkpad touchpad" on Google Images, and you'll see how prevalent this problem is.
-
If you used the click latch on the touchpad, the cursor could suddenly jump to somewhere else, causing a misclick.
-
Creaking in the chassis to the point people were staring at me while using it.
I avoided the Dell XPS because the camera points towards your nostrils, but in hindsight that would probably have been the better choice.
