If there was no charge then everyone would bring their own, and they would have to start charging more for the food to make up for the loss.
- Comment on Shoutouts to MASSGRAVE. 1 day ago:
MS had agreements with the big names where they got their license cut for every device sold. It didn’t matter if it had windows or not. Someone had to pay for that.
- Comment on Shoutouts to MASSGRAVE. 1 day ago:
Most folks are on a license that includes m365/office, windows enterprise, exchange online, sharepoint online, some entra/intune/defender things and more for about $380/user per year.
- Comment on Shoutouts to MASSGRAVE. 1 day ago:
Sadly every nearly every windows-capable device sold without windows also has the cost of a windows license baked in too.

Zip tie your power strip to that rack. Then buy a roll of Velcro strips to get your cables under control. That’s…hard to look at.

- Comment on Do rich people only wear designer clothes? Like, every piece? 1 week ago:
People have different tastes. Some wear brands, while others have clothing made for them and schedule measurement/fitting events.

How are you with your hands
- Comment on Perks 1 week ago:
At least they have public toilets. In thenUS we’re beholden to the kindness of franchise operators.

Yikes.
- Comment on Why does the microwave button have a "popcorn" button when every microwave popcorn brand says "DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON"? 2 weeks ago:
This might be controversial, but manual popped is better than microwave.

My servers have this option, either as a mirror or with hotspares. Seems expensive.

47.8GB?
- Comment on Why is the Wii U considered a flop? 3 weeks ago:
Because it didn’t sell well.
- Comment on Will the proliferation of AI slop lead to the renaissance of craftsmanship? 3 weeks ago:
No. You can’t find good furniture as easily now like you could before Amazon.com for example. It’s all trash that lasts just long enough that you can’t leave a review for it, assuming the company still exists and didn’t restructure.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
The amount of people complaining about update scheduling is statistically insignificant in the real world. Lemmy and other tech communities are an echo chamber.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
Maybe you don’t recall how bad botnets were before updates become harder to avoid.
I’d support optional updates if network access is disabled, maybe by your ISP.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
The amount of misinformation in a windows update thread on lemmy would be laughable if it wasn’t a weekly post.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
You’re wrong twice in one sentence. Windows gives you lots of opportunities to deal with updating on your own schedule. Updates shouldn’t be optional, else we have huge botnets running around.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
Why would you not defer updates if you need to use your pc?
- Comment on If your city has terrible tap water, how do you fight for better tap water? 4 weeks ago:
You would grit tested then go to your local government’s meetings and ask them to address it.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 weeks ago:
The US has a lot of space and a lot of farmland. Most countries don’t. As ocean transportation of food (amongst other resources) becomes less reliable due to lack of security, people will be fleeing their failed or failing country to one that’s more stable.
You’re right to think that the US has shit policies for immigration now but I think that will change once population decline starts affecting how much food is stocked at grocery stores.
I anticipate things being a lot worse than they are even now over the next 15 years. Multiple wars, state-sanctioned sea piracy, and a failure in the complex supply chain that creates advanced chipsets used for things like servers/workstations, satellites, weather prediction, stock markets, etc. leading to a mini-collapse as a best-case scenario.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 weeks ago:
“I guess we’ll have to increase wages”. Doesn’t work when there aren’t enough working people to maintain critical infrastructure.
World wide population decline is going to cause some serious problems. The US will need to establish a strong immigration policy to absorb people fleeing failing countries/geographies while continuing to provide food, and the transportation of that food, to the rest of the us.
- Comment on How can one individual get Nestle, Amazon, Google, Apple, Disney, and Blackrock to go out of business? 5 weeks ago:
Would be especially effective against Nestle. Advertise that you’re going to poison products from the company, do it successfully, then advertise you’ll do it again.
- Comment on The reason the right are so anti Mamdani is obvious: they don’t want you to see what your tax dollars being put to work the right way would actually look like. Then everyone would want it everywhere. 1 month ago:
Lies.
Office space is easily remodeled. Most high rise commercial buildings have windows. they are designed for it to be changed every few years.
Older buildings regularly get turned into housing and sell well exactly for their unique characteristics.
I lived in a converted building that had an enormous industrial crane structure inside of it. They had retrofitted a pool, hot tub, and basketball court on the roofs. It even had two stall parking.

- Comment on Can you open up an unmanned store in the US and will it stay in business or close down? 1 month ago:
Yes. You’re likely to see one at a busy airport.
You get in by presenting a form of payment. You take what you want and walk out. You get charged for it.
