They did this a lot in the 90’s too. Production companies love to ground an IP into the dust.

And then you get the SUPER GRAPE that is dimetapp

I remember once someone made DOOM but every time you killed an enemy it would kill -9 a random process.

As cool as it was to see all the galaxy class ships fighting in the dominion war, how cool would it have been to just see ten star drives going in formation?

This is a problem with more than just Microsoft. Any software (game, application, library, whatever) that has had many years of updates some of which are breaking, will have this problem with docs.

Oh you are using version 5.5.24 of xyzlib? All these docs are a mixture of stuff when 4.2.57 was out and stuff someone tried to update when 7.5.14 released.

Reminds me of the Hollywood trope of a character saying “In English please” after any reference to something on a computer.

I hate it so much when they do it. The writers should just say it the way an IT admin would and move on. Pretending that the character is speaking another language is just anti intellectual bullshit.

No human would stack books that way.

I HATE that windows will sort folders at the top instead of alphabetically with everything else. I guess it comes from using a Mac for so long.

I agree about .DS_Store in any mixed os environment though.

I remember having a friend ask why my mouse connected to a s-video port.

It still has problems. Mainly you need to get power out there and the heated exhaust water can mess with the ecosystem.

I remember there was talks about a floating data center in the ocean.

My last phone was an iPhone 7 and I bought a case so I could use wireless charging on it. That was great and made it so I didn’t wear out the lightning connector on it.

Having something similar for usb c makes sense.

I feel like it is news because when Microsoft first announced the docx formats it was supposed to be a more open format compared to the binary ones of the past, but in the end they are back to their old tricks.

The docx and xlsx formats are still soo much better than it was during the Word Perfect days. You had to pay so much attention to which version of each program you were using to transfer a file.

I live in Seattle and those girls look like they are about to go to a club and not school to me. Granted in my area if I, as a man, wear a shirt with buttons on it to the office I feel like I am dressing up.

I have an old Mac mini that I installed Ubuntu on to work as a digital frame. It works great and runs its own file server so it is easy to add pictures to.

I guess everyone needs a hobby.

I don’t disagree with you but most of the energy that people complain about AI using is used to train the models, not use them. Once they are trained it is fast to get what you need out of it, but making the next version takes a long time.

I did this with all the stupid moth memes. I want to see less of this so I downvoted them all. (Along with blocking a few communities)

And this is why you need a 3-2-1 backup strategy.
