Parenting is harder than ever, so I don’t blame parents.

Back in the day you would have the mother home all the time, even more recently there was still a strong community in most places and big families meant lots of babysitters.

Nowadays it’s fend for yourself for everybody almost everywhere, so raising a kid properly is almost impossible unless you are rich or have a lot of free time.

Most kids are not going to pay a subscription for a VPN, I don’t think that would be as big of an issue as you think.

I strongly disagree.

Social media is terrible for mental health especially for the youth. Phones and tablets help in some areas like motor control development but also hurt other places like attention deficiencies and critical thinking, and very rarely does it lead to a kid learning how technology works (that’s usually from the computer nerds, aka kids who want a computer, doesn’t happen even close to the same rate as smart phones.

Smart phones make people dumb. That’s my opinion. But the above are scientifically backed.

If teams was just teams and didn’t have all this cross integration bullshit with OneDrive/SharePoint and Todo and viva I wouldn’t mind it.

But no, it has to be part of the ecosystem 🤮

Why do they want IT admins to be useless?

I think that’s a really good idea, let me know if it works!

Absolutely agree, that’s why when I saw the patch notes for this latest Microsoft update I was like “They don’t mention why this is dangerous other than Linux can be used by the haxors”. It definitely just sounded like a way to crunch down on Linux use.

And like you said, I already allow Microsoft and riot and probably others I’m not thinking of to just have complete access to my computer so it’s not like I have any privacy, for security I can always check out potential issues myself with my pen testing laptop, so there is literally no benefit and only a ton of downsides to upgrading. So why would I?

This weekend the upgrading and updating ends for good, and I will get my dual boot Linux whether they like it or not.

I am planning on just disabling windows update medic service and keeping my current version of windows 10 that still allows dual booting to Linux.

Once Valorant stops working on that version I guess I’ll have to just only play deadlock from then on.

I understand your point now

Isn’t A/C a huge power consumer though? And because most lights are led now, except for northern countries the day time would be higher energy use right?

I don’t understand why we are not putting solar panels on every surface possible to be honest.

Is it not opt I’m automatically this time?

Don’t stop with them

How are they supposed to attract new customers when they are already a monopoly?

I would argue it’s more about consumerism and fin tech business ideas now, tik Tok nowadays has a bunch of shops, it’s kind of the end stage of this sadly

Feeding humans is not needed to keep the world saving AI running, so why would we even bother?

I am not even remotely surprised.

Every day I hear a story about Chinese software being spyware.

I legit don’t understand why this exists. Why would anyone want a bunch of shit in their OneDrive to have a permanent link?

Microsoft just loves money at the expense of quality products.

Same bro

I used to work in a Linux environment, I regret leaving that job all the time
