Windows XP outliving two of it is successors.

This is the start menu experience:

“Photoshop”

*Wait 15 seconds *

“Here are some results from bing:”

😡😡

Mac and Linux it’s instant, and not some garbage AI/ads/web search results.

cyberpunk007,

Windows had 3 peaks. 95, xp, and 7.

Now I just use Linux. I know not everyone can, but for everything I do or need to do it all works just fine there so I couldn’t be happier.

cyberpunk007,

I still extensively use:

Win+R

ncpa.cpl

It’s still the only way I know how to easily and quickly change my NIC settings.

The worst part is to change some things it adds like an extra 4 clicks to the old method.

cyberpunk007,

Ah yes. Well when I want to modify my IP address I do:

Win+R

Then I enter:

Ncpa.cpl

And hit enter. So easy.

Not so easy is the more useful printer settings:

Win+R

Then:

shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}

🤦🏻

cyberpunk007,

If you work on as many servers and desktops as I do, you’ll eventually encounter machines that have slow loading start menus and search, or search the web for some stupid ass reason instead. I’ll save that time with adding R. Still a 1 handed move anyhow

cyberpunk007,

Red pill easy. Make note of all the stock stuff that comes over the next couple decades, gain more than 10 mill and have more life experience in the tougher times.

cyberpunk007,

Also known as fist+c

cyberpunk007,

It’s already bad enough that windows 11 has a bing AI button on the top left AND top right corners of the start menu. Like wtf

cyberpunk007,

I can’t wait to no longer find a keyboard without this key.

cyberpunk007,

But this far they haven’t abused that like other organizations.

cyberpunk007,

You really should recycle

cyberpunk007,

Recently went through this, did not continue with hp and went brother, couldn’t be happier.

Updating from my experience is not Russian roulette. It always requires manual intervention and drives me mad. Half the time I just wget the new zip and copy my config file and restart nginx lol.

Camera upload has been fantastic for Android, but once in a while it shits its brains out thinking there are conflicts when there are none and I have to tell it to keep local AND keep server side to make them go away.

cyberpunk007,

This is my guess. But I wouldn’t know.

cyberpunk007,

Works great when you have a device that can use it.

cyberpunk007,

I have a lot of acquaintances in my field that seem to have no problem changing jobs every 1-2 years and keep doing better each time.

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...

cyberpunk007,

Yup. It’s a shame the camera lense can’t like rotate or something, phones are much easier to hold vertically.

cyberpunk007,

I tried to watch one piece and lasted 10 minutes. It was hard to watch.

cyberpunk007,

*and also.

Man that hurt my head to figure that one out 😂

cyberpunk007,

Found the city dweller with a wicked transit system.

cyberpunk007,

I love how people just come up with this shit with their knowledge of their local area. Any train here requires driving to, and does not come and go frequently, and takes longer. Our infra is terrible.

On the flip side, some places have awesome infra and I wish I had that. I’d prefer to pedal bike if I could. But where I’m at you’re very likely to be killed without bike lanes or sidewalks, and it would take hours to get anywhere important - IE work.
