That’s not how this works, but thank you for the silver lining here. People try to be good, even if Elon and Tesla are bad.

I was just at the store today, and overheard some kids asking when cereal got so expensive.

It illustrated just how rapidly they increased the prices.

And rice is delicious! I like sticky sushi rice myself. Throw some chicken on there and you’ve got a meal!

haha WHOA, that SUCKS.

I’ve never had that, though… not on my Windows machines (plural). Did you buy your machine from a manufacturer like HP? It just feels like something HP would do… never buy HP anything, everyone (even if this specific event isn’t their fault).

Edit: This isn’t your image… it’s from Reddit and it’s from SIX years ago.

That sounds horrible… I’ve never seen these, though. I don’t use anything special so far as I know. I’m on Windows 10 on one computer I run all day, and Windows 11 for the one I use all evening.

Assuming you’re not making this up, could Microsoft be rolling these out only to specific individuals for a trial run, or something? I don’t even have Windows Pro…

Or… actually… I built my computers from the ground up. Did you buy yours from HP, Dell, or another manufacturer? Could THEY be putting ads into their updates somehow?

I’ve never seen these before… can you share a screenshot? That sounds fucking awful!

I don’t remember it being slow, but I think that’s just because the slow pace was part of the intention behind the show. Offices are slow, horrible places to work when we’re talking about corporate environments. So it added to the horror that they made many in-office experiences drag out, and it hit really hard as a result.

So yeah, I agree, but also… I loved/hated it (mostly loved it).

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about… what ads are you seeing? Where are they?

The only “ads” I see for windows come after updates in the form of “Would you like to use our “new” “EDGE” Browser?!” To which the options are “YES I WOULD FUCK YEAH” (size 40 font) and “no thanks” (size 8 font). I hate that, but it’s only happened once or twice so far.

I think it’s just Linux people trying to poison the well. I’m not even mad, haha.

But like, I’m not joining the lie, either. Some day it could happen, though, and on that day sign me up for a pitchfork.

Only Apple supports this. Like, literally just Apple. I hate Chrome, and even Chrome doesn’t support this. Firefox? Yeah, zero support.

So for these reasons it’s 100% not viable right now. If you get the support, I’ll consider it for my websites, and tell my colleagues about it, though.

I’m not laughing… I find the whole thing kind of depressing. Real talk, though… I’m just as pissed off at Google and many other huge companies.

I’m tired of huge companies exploiting the ignorance of average folks and damaging the progression of consumer technology. We deserve better than this.

If Apple sold their products for a pittence, I’d be their absolute biggest fan. They not only push aggressively overpriced tech, but they convince impressionable people to buy into their “ecosystem”.

What the heck is that, even? What is their “ecosystem”? Macs, iPads and iphones all work with windows and Linux. Heck, Mac IS Linux at a core level. I’ll tell you what it is… George Carlin give me strength, because “it’s all bullshit, and it’s BAD for you.”

I’ve never seen a single ad in windows. I keep hearing they are coming… But so far it’s just a few predatory practices failing to convince me to use their stupid browser.

Meh, I wasn’t a huge fan. Watched the entire series and it was always a borderline show. I liked The Big Door Prize better. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention that on here yet…

It was. I don’t like this service, but this was a fantastic show.

I’m also curious… It’s on my list before my free trial ends.

I’ve had a free trial for almost a year now, lol. But I won’t be paying for it afterwards…

No, they did not. It’s Amazon Prime.

All of those can be watched in a month, though. It’s not enough to sustain an entire subscription. Also, foundation kind of sucked (nothing happened… maybe it will in the future, but also maybe it won’t)

Tales from the loop is actually on Amazon prime, lol.

Yup. And now it’s over. And so is my free trial next January. Bye, Apple TV. I won’t miss you.

Tell that to Google’s SEO ratings. A website using jpeg’s is not going to do well.
