Your anecdote is appreciated

Depends on the car

They still don’t have touchscreen support for MacOS. Windows added. Multi-touch sorry in the early 00’s. It’s absolute insanity

East Cleveland is an interesting place for sure. I have a client there and it’s definitely not in great shape. Their city government is definitely failing them in a big way, and they are also heavily impacted by the issue with suburbs in regards to tax revenue that much of metropolitan Cleveland has had to deal with. For those reading who aren’t up to speed on things, the city of Cleveland, by total landmass, is pretty small. Cuyahoga county itself is composed of 38 cities, 19 villages, and two townships which means that a lot of different areas grant themselves their own individual tax laws and guess what, they all feel like they are paying too much in taxes. So, they decide themselves that they get lower taxes, problem is, the tax revenue required has not actually decreased at all, in fact, by creating a new local government you have now increased the operating costs of your area. So really by having people move into these smaller suburbs you have really just created special groups of individuals who are wealthier, are a greater stress on county resources, and choose to pay less in taxes essentially bleeding the community dry. If you were to pull up a map of Cuyahoga county you will actually get a pretty good laugh. East Cleveland itself is the only outlier in this situation and it exists itself in a very complicated and sad situation that involves redlining, systemic racism, corporate greed and lack of regulation. Ironically its borders are surrounded by some of the wealthiest communities in the state.

Honestly the part that makes me the most upset about the situation is just how easy it is to solve.

“trust me bro”

I’m pretty sure the other browsers have to comply too

I don’t think that’s related

He doesn’t say he has minimal telemetry, he actually says it’s a brand new laptop (from manufacturer) out of the box with nothing installed. What we are referring to above is with telemetry disabled in oobe.

You guys should try making your install media using Rufus

And boy do you guys ever talk about Windows… Like constantly. Go on any Linux subreddit or community and 8 of the top 10 posts will mention Windows.

It appears there is. They are using it to determine an areas general feelings are towards a US military presence in an area (whether the local population feels they need help from the US or not) as a means of helping to determine best locations for setting up garrisons and bases or whatever during a conflict. Which makes sense as you don’t want to choose an area that really doesn’t want you there as they likely become an asset to the enemy and put your soldiers at risk.

OMG hot take! Let me guess, you use Linux?

I’m not sure where you got the “1GB per month” part, but all it says is that will use up to 1gb of data on your drive. That’s up to, and it’s not all being uploaded. I would think that much is obvious. It’s also data that gets purged by storage sense when your drive storage is low so you aren’t really “paying to store or” this is also something you are asked if you want to do when installing windows, very similar to just about every mainstream Linux distro out there. Not to mention every Linux distro is also pinging various URLs when you first boot it so I don’t know why that’s not upsetting you

I am not sure if you are joking, apple astroturfs both Reddit and Lemmy, a bunch of apple bots literally got purged last week. Open your eyes

Careful, it’s only been about a week since they purged all the apple bots, they were down to about 12 from the original 35,000 but now it’s back up to 15,000.

That would actually be a neat little time capsule to scroll back through years later

It says it’s $25,000 for a full years treatment

Are you saying IBM isn’t innovative? Dude, they like, effectively invented computers. The stuff they are doing with power10, their big mainframe systems and quantum computers (which I’m not sure if you are aware, aren’t profitable at all). If anything I would say IBM is the company that is innovating, nobody else is getting nearly as far in the future as they are.

I don’t think I could live without timelines. Makes tracking hours and miles a million times easier when invoicing people.
