This is interesting. Not a lawyer, but I’d encourage anyone in Australia to demand a free repair under Australian Consumer Law because the company bricked the laptop. I’d guess it would fall under the Acceptable Quality consumer guarantee, since the fault was caused directly by the manufacturer.

Not sure how you’d go about proving that, but you could then just take it to your state tribunal, like VCAt in Victoria and file a small claim.

Not a lawyer, not legal advice, but something to think about if you’re in this situation.

I’d be worried of the same outcome as pushing someone’s face into a cake without checking for cake supports.

Random twig in the right orientation, haha there goes your eye.

An email client that can’t open email files? Hmmmmmm.

Is this something to do with the fact it’s routing all emails via Microsoft servers?

I am not a developer

My condolences. I’m already annoyed with the times USC units are presented in Australia (our nominal pipe sizes are often talked about in inches, and sometimes valves and such have USC flow coefficients because the manufacturer is American).

So I cannot imagine the pain you must be subjected to.

Was this before or after the delivery app rent seekers set up shop around the world?

The graphic made me double take this also. I’m like, what new fresh hellish projection are we in for now.

I mean, trump pardoned war criminals. So I do not see why not (IANAL).

Most people would agree yes, they should be pardoned. I’m not against the idea of pardoning completely, just the idea of it being a single person questionable, since it seems a bit risky.

Someone could have a political opponent killed and then just pardon the assassin.

Doesn’t seem like a sensible thing to have around.

How are pardons a thing. Seems incredibly ripe for abuse.

I am dreading the day my company makes me “upgrade” my windows 10 laptop to 11. I really hope they’re paying for legacy support for 10.

I right click, soooooo often when managing files at my job. I’m going to pull out my hair if I can’t change the “see more” behaviour.

Also, I’m a top taskbar user (that’s where programs put their tabs, it just makes sense!)

I don’t know how they could fuck up windows this badly.

I know this is a joke, but a bad dog is so much more of a problem than a bad cat. (Not counting feral animals)

Bad cat: angry, wants you to leave them the fuck alone, scratches you at the slightest provocation

Bad dog: hyperactive or jumps all over you or barks at you, can seriously injure or kill you.

Our society takes for granted that you can take your dog anywhere (in Australia at least), and I don’t think enough emphasis is placed on the fact if you can’t 100% control your dog, don’t bring it anywhere near people.

The number of people saying “oh he’s friendly” as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they’re jumping up on them is stupid.

This society values dogs more, and I just don’t get it.

The only issue is they have not enough storage capacity for the excess.

Wait, not only the POTUS can pardon people (to me, already insanity waiting for more abuse), but your state governors TOO?

Jesus Christ.

This is why I will always argue that world-building-wise, the prequels and BBY are generally more interesting, because they create a more nuanced view of the politics of the Galactic Republic.

The actual plots of episodes 1,2&3 leave much to be desired, but to me, there’s a reason why Andor is so compelling compared to the Mandalorian, it’s the politics.

Anyone who thinks politics don’t belong in a Star Wars movie isn’t really into fantasy, which Star Wars most certainly is.

Nek Minit they’ll say game of thrones, lord of the rings, the expanse, Avatar the Last Airbender etc (in my opinion some of the greatest fantasy/sci-fi of all time) shouldn’t have so much politics.

Like… that’s what fantasy is. Politics, human relationships and how people live and struggle against each other for their interests, in a fictional world with different rules/physics/history.

The Star Wars Sequels are trash because they neither have a good plot, nor good world building.

The Jedi were complicit in the corruption and injustice of the Galactic Republic, no doubt, and is great world-building, if you ask me.

Am I the only one who watched the video, and due to nostalgia upscaling my memory, could hardly tell any difference other than frame rate.

I should go look at the normal game 😅

I think it’s naive to think that the imperial core will stop with the needless wars simply because oil is no longer the hot commodity. There’s always perverse interests to use the military for power projection and resource control.

Under your current voting system, this will never change.

I for one, refuse to be shipped off in our generation’s tribute to America. Our government (Australia) is still the US’ vassal state.

Here’s the trick (maybe): “Don’t you know that WhatsApp is owned by Meta and collecting information on your chat metadata (who you chat to, when, your contacts, their contacts).”

Tell them to get Signal. If there’s any country on this planet where convincing people to use Signal is easier, it must be Germany. GMaps streetview was banned there until recently, everyone uses fake names on Facebook, if they even made one in the first place.

Surely they must be amenable to Signal

This is fantastic

It depends what it is. There are some things better reserved for a call, where tone of speech can be heard.

I’m glad to not have quite this level of social anxiety, sounds really not fun for the suffer :(
