Normal enough I deal with it on 2 separate machines. One new and store bought, unmolested by IT lockdown bs, and the other I built and use really just for gaming. Idk man. I just feel like Windows has gotten worse and worse and I’m thinking of hopping back to Linux now that gaming is more accessible on it thanks to Proton, but I can’t completely get away from windows.

It doesn’t. I bought it with a company credit card and I don’t let IT touch it. I gotta do a lot of stuff in the field so I don’t have time to call IT every time I need to install a software update update.

The File Explorer behavior is something I’ve been noticing lately. I do have a number of cloud accounts connected for work, 2 One Drive, 1 dropbox, with a shit ton of files and folders (most not sync’d locally) and I wonder if File Explorer is looking through those when it opens.

Idk man. I have a brand new laptop my work got me and I notice it. Windows is just plain bad now. It’s like I go to save a file and the file browser window opens and I’m stuck sitting there waiting for minutes. It’s like I’m suddenly 10 again when you’d turn on your pc, go make breakfast, come back and hope your PC finished booting. Does it both on my work laptop running 11 and my PC at home running 10.

Pepperoni, bacon, pineapple, and jalapeño. The ultimate combination of sweet, spicy, salty, and savory.

Fully left Reddit. I don’t miss it at all. I do find it a little annoying when someone links me to a Reddit post just because of how terrible the site looks or how they want you to sign in.

It’s called “The Doorway Effect” and it’s something that can effect anyone. The action of passing through a door can affect short term memory causing you to forget what you were doing a moment before. It’s possible that it’s attributed to self preservation in causing you to assess your surroundings on entering a new room.

Not to say it’s not a problem for ADHD, but it’s a more common issue than you’d think.

Chaotic neutral move. Nice.

In all seriousness, how is it?

Same. I just don’t have as much time to troubleshoot things when stuff goes wrong these days.

I agree. Back in the day I used to run DD-WRT on a cheap $75 router to get features you’d only get on $200+ routers, but now a days I think there’s better options. UniFi for example is great if you don’t mind spending a bit extra. Otherwise I’d rather just use PfSense.

Surprisingly some companies still make Drawn Glass, mostly sold for restoring historical buildings. Personally I like the slightly curved look it has.

These are instances, not communities. Like lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works, only these instances are focused on specific topics or discussions. You could visit them and look at what communities they have and follow those.

I think the evidence speaks for itself.

good ‘ol corporate clap back

I’ve been a long time lurker on other social media platforms, but I’ve started to try and contribute more since I’d like to see communities I like succeed. Maybe then I can go back to lurking
