At this point you might as well just assume the CEO of any large company is a piece of shit until proven otherwise.

This is one of those situations where the venn diagram of Trump’s handlers becomes a circle.

You have the billionaire Oil executives that want to continue using all their existing infrastructure and wasy access to continue printing money like they do now. Meanwhile, those companies all see the writing on the wall and know it’s running out so they’re investing in or buying technologies and companies working on alternatives. They’re playing both sides because they’re not idiots.

And then you have the manipulators like Putin (who we know Trump idolizes) with their goals of destroying American power across the board. Having America not only abandon new technologies but even propping up the old ones past when they should be phased out to focus on century-old priorities while the rest of the world continues to move on, helps that overall goal.

I tried to find something on marketplace a month ago. Dozens of posts because it’s a super common item, all posts were a week or less old. None were legitimate. Every one was a scam, responses all leading to bullshit websites to buy, or users that never responded.

Has to get the item on Ebay instead because apparently they actually have basic scam prevention systems in place while Facebook apparently doesn’t have shit.

Sometimes those are the chains directly… More often they’re just ghost kitchens. Someone else owns the brand, and has an already established kitchen make the food for delivery apps, and they take a cut from the sale.

Many ghost kitchens aren’t even normal restaurants you would drive to, they’re just commercial kitchens in generic business space that make food for a dozen or so ghost kitchen brands.

Microsoft releases their patches on the same day every month. They do this specifically for planning that sort of thing. Including giving you options in the settings to pause updates for up to 5 weeks.

And that doesn’t even get into the business-oriented options available through things like WSU to give more granular and customized update options for businesses.

If you’re doing something that will take that long… Why aren’t you using the solutions available? Is it because you never bothered to look? You just wanted to complain instead? Because that’s what it looks like when there’s a literal setting dropdown, that’s not hidden at all, that would avoid your example entirely.

Tongo isn’t a fully fleshed out game, and the writers didn’t have anything concrete to go on when referencing it. It was written as a mashup of poker, mahjongg and craps.

There were never any “official” rules established; according to Ron D. Moore the writers had only a vague idea of what the game was actually about, and mostly just made it up as they went along.

Like basically everything, that was enshittification as well, Cable TV used to not have ads. That was a big part of the marketing compared to broadcast TV.

I mean, Hulu was basically designed and owned by the cable companies. Not sure why that seems surprising for people.

Windows only does that if you ignore the update prompts multiple times, which means for multiple days since the default delay behavior is to ask a day later. It’s literally in the settings, including options to have it install updates outside suer-set active hours.

But don’t let that get in the way of the realization that most people just ignore shit until the last second and then blame everything but themselves for it when they run out of options. And that the Internet jumps onto bandwagons faster than the speed of light just to feel like they’re included in something.

Can’t really blame them for trying to get some of their money back.

Unadulterated technical incompetence from a tech company is par for the course these days though.
