    There's a retail tool that lets you get a lot more memory below 1MB. 639K (625K free) conventional, 262K upper (177K free). If you remember seeing how, you'll get a free virtual co…

    I'm worried about that but also feel like GPL 4 needs an anti-AI clause. I don't want code I'm written fed into a machine that writes code that doesn't respect user freedom.

    I did that. Unfortunately you'd have your stereo blasting, right? And then the second you upload it somewhere you'll get a copyright infringement notice and they mute the audio. Th…

    Oh yes the field of vision is very bad! I liked to take snapshots out when with my wife, and I'd turn my head and she wouldn't even be in the field of view. You have to turn your h…

    I have the original model and they're fun, if not super expensive. Unfortunately the audio quality is some of the worst you can have; if there's ANY external noise you can't hear a…

    I’ll take some blame for $226m. What you’ve said is nonsensical. Being the victim of some harsh words forgotten the next day while never having to work another day in your life is …

    So just don’t be one of the vanishingly small paid users who this affects. Easy. I wonder what vanishingly small is. 0.001% of a million is still thousands.

    The company is unethical garbage that relies on customer management being too lazy to sue them for not completing contracts. They lie and treat their employees like garbage. And th…

    I get a lot of emails (from various companies) that have "action required" and no action required at all. Usually "you've logged in from a new device, you don't need to do anything…

    I'm amazed you think there's any goodwill for Google at all. Their search engine sucks shit these days.

    ITT: Lots of people feigning ignorance about how companies work, or have literally never worked for a large company before. And hilariously thinking Microsoft would spin up a criti…

    It's weird because I've seen job posts for them running for 6 months now and still not be filled. Are they running job ads but not hiring?

    Companies like this drop-ship new laptops to new employees. The laptops everyone has are COVID-era and about to expire for warranty, and would just be binned anyway. So there is no…

    A lot of companies have teams dedicated to hardware that don’t give a shit about it. And their managers don’t give a shit. Then the people under them who do give a shit, because th…

    Yeah I mean for starters the author appear to have been rich as hell from the very beginning. I’m sure that helps soothe the sting of being an “outsider”. But I decided not to take…

    Thanks! I felt the same way. Glad I’m not the only one. I’ve had people attack me like that before and it’s not great. It’s always someone in a position of power, too.
