If you snap one, they will send you a replacement for free. I chipped one of the security torx once, and was surprised at how easy it was to get replaced.

Retracted. I was sleepy and apparently pissy this morning. I deserve my downvotes.

Would they still be random after the genie gave them to him?

Mine too lol. I know that isn't technically enough, but we aren't talking instantaneous damage like a laser here. You need to be much more careful around stuff like that.

Regular UV radiation is a gradient, like going outside without sunblock. You're gonna burn if you are an idiot about it. Don't stare at the thing for 60 minutes straight. We looked, we saw, and then we stopped looking.

Yep, same here. The auto darkening set I normally use didn't really work, but I just looked through a piece of spare glass I had lying around for a passive set.

They do, but also they lied a shit ton on release. They absolutely also deserve the beating that they got for it.

That's.... Exactly what I was talking about. Master of the content.

I am fully aware that the windows search hides things that you are actually searching for. Particularly if they are system preference apps, and it always goes to bing first regardless.

Also, I bailed as well. I use windows for work and school, otherwise I'm on linux.

They want you to use the search instead of a functional interface. That's why they keep making the interface worse.

It lets them spy on you through bing, allows them to fill the results with ads, and lets them hide system applications unless you know exactly how to find them.

It's also them gearing up towards funneling the entire UX through copilot for largely the same reasons.

The entire goal is to flip the operating system from the slave of the user to the master of the content.

I mean... Yes? I hate this idea and Roku will lose me as a customer over this, but yes they are specifically targeting screensavers. Idle time is ad time to these people.

The grass should be watered already, but depending on the severity and length of your condition you may need to apply supplemental dihydrogen monoxide.

I'm not denying that Isreal is committing a genocide. They are, and they should be stopped.

You are asserting that Biden is a fascist, which is simply incorrect. Biden is not attempting to insert himself as an authoritarian dictator in Israel, and to imply that he is makes you sound like a fool.

Trump, however, is attempting to do that in the United States. That is why Trump is a fascist candidate.

Holocaust denial is to deny that the holocaust happened, which was indeed a genocide.

Fascism is a type of government characterized by centralized authoritarian leadership, often with a dictatorship. Typically, power is maintained through violence, and the military is used to suppress any opposition.

I agree with you, genocide can be an element of fascism. However, it does not define fascism. Your argument is equivalent to saying that all engines are war machines. They can be, but not all of them are.

Are we done here with your bullshit false equivalences?
