Well Windows 10 at least lets you create a local user account. you can't even install windows 11 without having a microsoft online account, because you need a Microsoft account to be able to create a local user.

Korea is extremely class conscious and people treat people differently based on perceived wealth. iPhone being considerably expensive than Samsung offerings in Korea is an instant wealth signifier and having an iPhone means you are perceived as upper rich class than those pesky poor Samsung, which is now associated with old people or who couldn't afford an iPhone.

There was a simpler time when anti-trans meant you opposed both autobots and decepticons.

When people say 'cancel culture', they are generally talking out of their ass, but this is what I say is the cancel culture, that someone saying 'war crimes are war crimes, even when allies did them' is somehow so abhorrent that they are sacked. Think about it, war crimes are acceptable but pointing them out is not.

I get spam calls from Europol from time to time where the person on the other end tries to convince me that I have done some criminal activity and should pay a fine. Funny enough, if I say indian curse words, they cut the call.

Yeah, I have worked with a few ex-Googlers, great programmers and techies, poor product owners/managers. It's like they forget how humans think.

My last job was all on the Google ecosystem. They bought like 10 of these things and to be honest, they were a blast during Meetings, but that was pre-covid. Pandemic really effed the office and pushed everyone remote, and I think they were lying around gathering dust when I left.

Now I have a fear of being filmed while scratching my nuts.
