Meta? You mean the holding company that owns that social media site I never use? Good luck getting it.

Now, when you say “asks”…

Dictators are always afraid of their own people.

Now when you say “care about their privacy” do you by any chance mean buy something? I just want to know what you’re asking for help with here.

Why does a calculator need my fucking email address? We’re not pen pals, just do this arithmetic.

Please do! Are we talking about Microsoft Bob or what?

While I was there they were working on integrating presence detection. I saw some demos where lights would go on and off when you walked from room to room, and music you were listening to would follow you. If you were using a computer your desktop environment would migrate to a computer in the new room. Never saw that hit the market in any way I was aware of.

Lots of stuff MS Research did never saw the light of day. One time when my kids were playing Toontown I found a bug that let a player slip behind the graphics. You could see that the clerk at the store was just a legless torso floating in the air, and you could even go behind the walls and fly backwards into empty space until the whole world shrank to a dot. This same bug was present in a MS project called V-Worlds I had worked on a couple years earlier, so I always wondered if they had made a deal with Disney to use the code or if it was just a common graphics bug.

Former Win10 user here, also a former MS employee, now on Mint. I never even heard of Recall but holy crap on a cracker, Microsoft - seriously? SERIOUSLY?

You guys have absolutely lost your fucking minds. My advice is to make Microsoft great again by quitting and forming a bunch of startups, where you can work on innovations that are actually good and useful. For the sake of your own sanity.

I seriously DGAF who knows which Mint edition I installed or the brand of flash drive I used.

I used it less than a week ago for a Mint install, worked fine.

What I’m talking about is the popular stand that offenses against public opinion are unforgivable and unredeemable. Nobody should buy from company X, nobody should listen to musician Y, nobody see any more movies with actor Z in them, etc.

I personally agree Jeeps suck, but that’s dodging my question.

Yeah that’s my reaction. Also public transportation changed my life for the year and a half I used it, by eating up zn extra hour a day of my life. My 15-minute each way car commute became 50 each way, very consistently. I finally got fed up with it and went back to driving.

This zero-tolerance permanent unforgivability mentality is super common now. Why would you not consider buying a Jeep in say 20 years, when every person responsible for making or implementing some heinous decision that outrages you right now probably won’t even work there anymore?

Must be talking about a dwarf Trump pays to wipe his ass.

“Serverless” means running apps that need servers without setting up and running the servers yourself. It’s kind of a misnomer because yes there are servers somewhere, but “Somebody Else’s Servers” Computing doesn’t sound as good. Anyway I think it’s called Cloud Computing now.

Cool, so where do you know Stacy from?

Probably not by the Useful Idiot, but certainly by his puppeteers.

If cyberterrorists really want to know who’s gonna be late to my D&D game and what food we’re having, I guess there’s no way we’re gonna stop 'em. I blame Kamala’s weak campaign.
