cyberpunk007,

Doesn’t matter when you download off of dozens at once. This is what torrents do.

cyberpunk007,

Meh. I liked the star wars and national geographic stuff but that didn’t take long to burn through. Only have it for kids at this point. And when it’s just the same 2 shows over and over… Feels like a waste of $

As much as people rip on Netflix I watch a lot of stuff on there and use it way more than D+

cyberpunk007,

Here I am. Doesn’t mean I’m OK with it either. Not enough time in the day to figure out another solution.

cyberpunk007,

The only thing I hated about that kinda thing is depending on the phone you lose the camera perks. If I install this on my pixel 6 pro, does everything function more or less the same? I don’t want to be taking shit photos after installing a rom

Windows XP outliving two of it is successors.

cyberpunk007,

But less is more

cyberpunk007,

To each their own

cyberpunk007,

By that logic get away from Linux, eventually you’ll have to touch a shell and google some things to find out what to type inside a terminal. It’s not hard to learn i for insert and type stuff and esc to get out, colon x to save and quit. If you can’t remember those 3 steps you can’t even update your system on a command line lol.

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade sudo pacman -Syyu

Etc. 3+ things to remember in each example.

cyberpunk007,

I don’t know when or why I learned vi, but once I used it for that short period of time I got used to it and it’s just muscle memory for me now. 99% of the dime I’m using x to delete text, yy (or ) and dd (or ) or p/P to copy/delete/paste lines, or :s/oldtext/newtext/g, or :wq or :x to write and quit. That’s like basically all I ever use VI for and it’s quick and easy to do. Once you know it, like anything, it’s quite a nice editor. Of course it can do a lot more than I typically use it for.

If you think it’s complicated, think about the first time you had to type sudo apt-get install firefox instead of googling Firefox and double clicking an executable.

cyberpunk007,

That sucks. Laptops are always a bit trickier. Linux works flawlessly on most things I install it on these days. Manjaros been on my desktop for the past 4 years.

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,

I mean people with tight corporate requirements cannot. Certain headaches with security designations, not all software works great in Linux, even though most do.

cyberpunk007,

If you’re such a server and desktop support expert, how do you gpo random client that call in, or new client and environments when you know nothing about them, or friend and families computers?

Listen, kid, when you’ve been in the game long enough you’ll come across unique scenarios enough to a point where it is God damn annoying.

Also who the hell GPOs network settings?

cyberpunk007,

It’s the same as M365, and they’re always changing where things are located and renaming things. So stupid.

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,

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,

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,

And this here is the icing on the cake, isn’t it?

cyberpunk007,

I still don’t know this and we are already talking windows 12 lol

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,

This is how you open the dialogs you’re looking for instead of randomly clicking through 4 items deep in this new crappy UI

How Many Streaming Services Do You Have?

I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average...

cyberpunk007,

Oh young child. If only that was all of them
