  • My workplace is basically as close to 100% Microsoft as you can get. When I started I figured "hey let's try out this new Edge browser and see if it's as good as people are saying" and y'know what, it's had some nice features that Chrome lacks that I really appreciate.

    However Microsoft entirely killed it for me by recently making every browser profile automatically sign into the Microsoft account that Windows is signed into. I was using different profiles to use different Microsoft accounts for managing Microsoft services so now I have my named account everywhere instead of the correct admin account that actually has access to more than the bare minimum. Literally entirely defeated the purpose of browser profiles. So I switched to Firefox at work because I can use the tab container feature for the same purpose and have fewer windows open at once as an added benefit

  • Oh that's a very good question! I've seen the comic shared around the internet so much I don't know myself

  • I mean the original source would be the Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. This comic is a rendition of a humorous interaction that goes down in the book.

    In short, there's a plot to eliminate the Hogfather (Santa) by controlling children into not believing in him, so Death (the Grim Reaper) fills in for the Hogfather while others work to the plotters and save not just Hogswatch (Christmas) but also the entire disc (the world)

  • I really only prefer TUI because it bypasses most of the worst aspects of modern GUI design

  • There’s way too much “pop-up ui” infecting PC from mobile. I want a solid-state UI. Don’t make me hover over anything to show a pop up, or swipe, or stupid shit like that.

    Stop making these shitty disappearing scrollbars that are way too thin! Scrollbars are the single most important UI element on the screen. They need to be LARGE and they need to STAY VISIBLE AT ALL TIMES

    These are both UI features that suck for dodgey rdp connections. The kind where you click and wait 10-30 seconds for the update. Windows has gotten egregious about these kinds of UI decisions making it very hard to make changes over a lousy RDP connection

  • Standing Desks

  • Sit/stand desks are also great for ergonomics. You can set your desk to whatever the right height for your monitors is.

    I worked at a bank where some of the offices had big fancy banker desks made of gorgeous hard wood and others had much newer sit-stand desks which while made of cheaper materials they did in fact allow for whatever height the user needed for best monitor ergonomics. I'd start my day standing to help me wake up, then around 11/lunch time shift to seated and there were some days I'd simply forget to put the desk down and be standing for the entire workday

  • If you've not seen the Blues Brothers go watch it right now. Order the DVD if you have to. Its absolutely worthwhile. Its an SNL spinoff film with a Legendary soundtrack featuring the biggest names in the Blues and Jazz scene. Great soundtrack, brilliant gags, incredible car chases and just a ton of rediculous chaos.

  • I have no clue what MultiPlex theaters are

    So back in the earlier days of cinema, you'd go to the Cineplex to see a movie. A Cineplex would only have a single screen for viewing movies while the multiplex would have multiple screens for seeing movies on. This started with the first duplex theatre in 1915 and later the first triplex in 1966, shortly followed by theatres with 6+ screens which is around when the term "multiplex" started being used. Basically for anyone born after the 80s (therefore anyone under the age of about 40) the term is largely obsolete since most theatres have at least 4 screens and qualify as multiplexes, plus the industry has seen so much consolidation that smaller independent theatres with 1-2 screens are pretty uncommon now

  • Y'know what, I honestly haven't looked at what the PCIe lane layout is like on newer chipsets. Maybe it's gotten better since I last really paid attention like 5+ years ago. I remember in early-mid AM4 there was a lot of grumbling about how there's only 20 PCIe 3 lanes followed by early PCIe 4 platforms that would give only 16-20 lanes with another 8 or so PCI 3 lanes. I also didn't really pay much attention to AMD before AM4 given how far behind Intel they were. But I could be entirely out of date now that I think about it

  • So hardware that may still be perfectly usable but predates NVMe should be tossed out then?

    The exact same thing you already have to do to upgrade the memory on such a computer, you go buy used/old stock DDR3 or cannibalize from another system. Pre-NVMe systems are DDR3 era and older. Time goes on, interfaces update and anyone looking for compatibility with their older system will need to either use an adapter or buy used/old stock. If there's enough demand like with motherboards there can be a random Chinese brands making new hardware for old platforms using a mix of new and cannibalized parts

  • I did similar when preparing my wife and I for windows 10 EOL. I went back to Linux on the new drive, my wife to Windows 11. Honestly both have a similar amount of issues (mostly wake from sleep challenges on Linux, although my PC wasn't great about waking from sleep on Windows to begin with) and most importantly my wife can still play Fortnite and I can have fun trying new stuff out and reveling at how every single game I try just works on Linux whereas 5 years ago it was more of a 50/50 chance whether or not a game would work
