I mean, spellcheck does that more often than not.

My galaxy watch I bought many years ago has this same feature, is cheaper, and looks amazing. I got the "classic" model with the turning frame. It's an outstanding watch even to this day. No lag, great battery, and very bright even in sunlight.

I'll settle for sawing off Los Angeles and letting it float off into the distance.

haha WHOA, that SUCKS.

I've never had that, though... not on my Windows machines (plural). Did you buy your machine from a manufacturer like HP? It just feels like something HP would do... never buy HP anything, everyone (even if this specific event isn't their fault).

Edit: This isn't your image... it's from Reddit and it's from SIX years ago.

That sounds horrible... I've never seen these, though. I don't use anything special so far as I know. I'm on Windows 10 on one computer I run all day, and Windows 11 for the one I use all evening.

Assuming you're not making this up, could Microsoft be rolling these out only to specific individuals for a trial run, or something? I don't even have Windows Pro...

Or... actually... I built my computers from the ground up. Did you buy yours from HP, Dell, or another manufacturer? Could THEY be putting ads into their updates somehow?

I've never seen these before... can you share a screenshot? That sounds fucking awful!

I don't remember it being slow, but I think that's just because the slow pace was part of the intention behind the show. Offices are slow, horrible places to work when we're talking about corporate environments. So it added to the horror that they made many in-office experiences drag out, and it hit really hard as a result.

So yeah, I agree, but also... I loved/hated it (mostly loved it).

This is the source I used to originally validate my position: https://caniuse.com/jpegxl

Let me know if it's incorrect, I'd be very interested to learn of new options for the web space as a developer. This said, I googled Firefox and it came back with only "experimental support" for what I think may be an alpha release (version number ends in "a").

I never claimed Linux and Mac were exactly the same. They are both kernals of UNIX. Though they differ, they use the same "core".

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about... what ads are you seeing? Where are they?

The only "ads" I see for windows come after updates in the form of "Would you like to use our "new" "EDGE" Browser?!" To which the options are "YES I WOULD FUCK YEAH" (size 40 font) and "no thanks" (size 8 font). I hate that, but it's only happened once or twice so far.

lol, I can totally see this on an Apple Billboard.

[–] LucidLethargy 1 points 1 year ago

You replied to someone that strongly asserted that non-Apple devices are convoluted, difficult to use, and confusing. You did so by agreeing that you also hate difficult to use, confusing, and convoluted technologies.

This struck me as disingenuous. I apologize if you are, indeed, not an Apple fan in an active state of disingenuity. This said, if you are to be believed, then I don't understand what your comment was adding to the conversation here. Was your entire point truly that you simply dislike confusing technology? Did that really need to be said?
