  • I disagree.

    • XP felt like it was mine.
    • 7 felt like it was mine
    • 8 felt like they were trying to force something on me.
    • 10 felt like they were pushing bloatware like a cell phone. At least l could remove some of that?
    • 11 feels like they decided it’s their computer, I’m just renting time in it by watching ads. You could remove half the programs by default and I would not miss any of them. Do I need a version of minesweeper with micro transactions? No!










  • The suffix “gaming” implies bright colors, low quality, and a higher price tag. It’s right next to “premium” for identifying garbage products.

    Also, I’ve had so many cheap chairs in my life that just failed. The “leather” peels, the gas lift breaks, or the seat cushion wears out and causes pain and discomfort.

    That said, you can buy new gas lifts to fix a sinking chair very cheap and buy additional cushions to reduce pressure. If you can’t afford a good chair, don’t keep buying new bad ones!

    Once worked for a municipality when the contracted garbage collectors complained that there was too much recycling in the trash and the other way around. They essentially have to trash everything in the recycling if it’s contaminated.

    We had to do some public information campaigns to try reduce it or the company would raise their rates, which would affect tax payers. The message did seem to get across to people, as the company stopped complaining.
