  • 99% of Windows usability issues would be fixed if Windows had the guts to add this button

  • Waiting in windows explorer in a shared directory for write access to a document, with "notify" set. It says filename.doc is available, double click it. "Sorry psud, this file is being used by psud. Open read only or notify when this file is free?"

    Because of course explorer opens the file read/write to show the preview

  • Just normally closing any file browser windows usually releases the drive. Windows is usually locking it in an explorer window for "I was in that drive an hour ago, I need it in case my human wants to go back" at least when Linux says no all you need to do is cd out of the drive, and navigate to any other folder in a file browser and then it'll work

  • Technology Connections in his recent video (or was it on his second channel?) points or that since dishwashers had only six functions, all of which run when given line voltage, and case running when depowered, anyone with Arduino and some relays could make a new control board for a dishwasher pretty easily, to make programs that way better. Laundry machines are similar but simpler, if they ever get that bad, they'll be easy to lobotomise

  • Too many people identified the monitor as the source of their frustration, when really it was the box on which it sat that was to blame

  • I looked for some troubleshooting for my podcast player, and was really mistrustful of the AI summary, but it was right. But of course the solution was pulled from a forum, so could easily have been from a different product, or an outdated version. The last thing I looked for gave a well out dated answer for fingerprint readers under Linux

  • Most Linux malware is aimed at servers, that's where the money is, and where Linux has serious market share

  • Since it has malware abbreviated in its name I think it's a joke

  • To another version full of errors due to the same faults? This is the sort of thing that has people looking for alternatives

  • I haven't had teams crash, just behaving badly, not marking chats read, not moving updated chats to the top.

  • It's incredible how quick they become when converted to Linux (though I always put light weight Linuxes on old machines, and that may have contributed)

  • The version of windows 10 my Lenovo laptop can't see wifi. I don't like factory resetting that machine (actually I can't anymore since I wiped the recovery partition when I moved it to Linux) my framework laptop came with no OS so was immune to bad factory OS version problems

  • Yellow was also an option

    Yellow LEDs annoy me. Our traffic lights used to be red, amber, and green. Now they're LED amber lights have been replaced with yellow

  • The crap buttons are cheaper. If your product was optimised for price it will have buttons that cost the least

    They're on the top because most users find that more convenient

    They're clicky or linear depending on taste

    The old ones were heavy, clunky, and certainly expensive

  • The word is usually spelt feat when talking about something you did. It looked more like a spelling error than wit

  • We used to call those missile switches. Probably still do

    Ed. A search on my local electronic components shop's site returned nothing on a search, but scrolling the 211 items in category "switches" found a missile switch cover (to suit toggle switches) as #86, so yes, we still do

    Ed the second. Thingiverse shows many printable missile switch covers for diverse switch types

  • Turbo bumped my 8MHz 386 to sixteen megahertz

    It never got switched off, except in some games that a slower CPU made easier (some games back then ran just as fast as the hardware could run them, expecting the computers or turn to be the state of the art) By the time of the machine in the picture unturbo wasn't enough so we used a TSR* program called goSlow to get specific performance
