the installer completely shit itself and the screen went black, could not recover from it
I don't think that this is the standard experience people have. I've installed Windows 11 more than a few times for family members and for my gaming pc, and while I find Windows insufferably annoying, black screens were not part of the experience.
weird issues with my rgb and fan control software
That's the motherboard manufacturers, that's not on Windows.
All motherboard manufacturer software plain sucks. MSI, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte ... the lot of them. Just don't install that garbage.
I think the point is that parents have less influence than ever when kids are getting their values from online communities.
Oh, by the way, road works, 80km/h. Aaaand youβre free again! Have f- oh no, roadworks again, 80 pls. Ok done. Now you can really hit the gas! Joke, roadworks again haha, 80! Finally done, now we promise we donβt have roadworks anymore, enjoy! Aaaand welcome to the Netherlands, 100 please.
If that isn't the most accurate description of driving through Germany, I don't know what is :D
I always found driving in the Netherlands much more relaxing.
Ah yes, NL = Nur Links ... I understand why you feel more at home there :D
At least where I live, the law allows for using flashes to indicate that you want to overtake.
I like it much better, than Eastern EU, where people are also going 150+, and are being assholes in the meantime
You should try Italy. Total culture shock the first time I drove there. Especially, entering via Switzerland where they are completely anal about traffic rules.
I think 10GbE is more intended for local applications than for internet. Say, you have a NAS with a RAID array of nvme drives for video editing purposes that you want to access from a few workstations.
Even the other day I was quite happy to have 2.5GbE when I installed my new gaming PC, and steam was able to pull all my games directly from my old computer rather than downloading them over the internet again.
Anyway, LAN speeds have always been an order of magnitude higher than common internet speeds, so I don't see the issue.
My user.js file is entirely platform independent. I use it on Linux, Windows and even used it on my work provided Macbook. FYI: user.js only contains the settings you want to change, it's not the whole prefs.js file. It's just 63 lines.
I agree that chrome feels cleaner and needs a lot less fiddling to get right, but chrome is effectively dead for me. I switched to firefox for much more important reasons than a few UI annoyances.
Yes, to completely turn it off, it's an about:config setting: extensions.pocket.enabled
Removing it from the toolbar just hides it, but keeps it running.
with every fucking install on every machine. for years.
Multiplied by all the other annoyances you have to turn off, via either gui or about:config, each and every time. I feel you.
I hop machines fairly frequently, use multiple browsing profiles, and often create discardable profiles, so I eventually just went ahead and spent some time tracing all the about:config equivalents of the settings that I typically change every time and then put them in a user.js file that I can just drop into my profile directory.
US defaultism much?
This is absolutely not a thing where I live and it sounds quite entitled to expect this level of personal service from an underpaid and overworked worker who's probably already overbooked and struggling to finish his round on time.
Here a delivery driver will come to the street facing door of a building, and attempt to deliver with you in person, or if you live up high you can buzz him in to put the package in the shared entrance space, but he's not going to go on a lone quest to gain access to every single private multitenant building. You're not home, and haven't given permission to deliver to your neighbors? Tough shit. Come pick up the package at the depot.
They donβt want to deal with pushing the buttons to enter the premises
Why should they have to though? It's not a delivery driver's job to jump through various hoops to gain access to a private residence, and that's not even going into the liability and safety issues that come with it.
Also, why even bother having a door code if you're giving it out to every random delivery driver.
You can protect yourself from that with airgapping and backups. The bigger issue is probably that it's becoming increasingly hard to source parts for such old hardware.
The kid's like: I don't even like drawing all that much, but I don't want to disappoint my mom.
You can give me any file, and I can create a compression algorithm that reduces it to 1 bit. (*)
When you run out of characters, you simply create another 0 byte file to encode the rest.
Check mate, storage manufacturers.
