Yup, it’s happened to me a couple of times this week alone. It’s getting silly.
- Comment on Microsoft support for Windows 10 officially ends today, but a third of Steam players still use it | VGC 2 days ago:
The main benefit is the long-term support. If you buy a volume (or can find a vendor willing to sell you a single) license for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, you have security updates until 2032. There’s nuance to it, and some programs might not support Windows 10 for the full length of that extended support period, but for the last holdouts it’s better than nothing.

That only covers ESU, not the LTSC options. :/

This is the most convenient way I had access to to share the available options for info. I’d love a similar list of official methods.

- Comment on those of you with good skills to defuse a tense situation at the workplace, what advice can you give me? 6 days ago:
does it really help to simply stay next to my colleague, letting her do the talking while I do nothing but looking at the karen in the eye?
Yes. It really does. Makes them feel like they aren’t facing this alone.
what if, each time the karen opens her mouth I repeat ‘calm down’ ad nauseam till she either tires, shuts up or walks away?
Bad idea. That’s what we call “escalation”. You don’t want to do that.
what do you say or do to support your coworkers while they’re being verbally abused that somewhat defuses the situation?
Give them a way out. If there’s a phone on their desk, call them. If there’s a tannoy, make a call that they’re urgently needed in another room. If there’s neither, go in another room and yell their name like you need help, from where you can’t be seen.
what if I have to do this with a man and it gets physical?
Don’t start the fight. Defend yourself. And try to leave the situation as soon as you can.
I’m as guilty as the first aggressor.
Not true. You are entitled to defend yourself and escape the situation.

Where do you want me to start? The shady company that runs it? The godawful webapp and even worse electron “native” apps? All the privacy problems? The lack of any kind of guarantee that what you build there will still be there tomorrow? That’s all I can think of right now, but there’s probably more in the back of my mind somewhere.

- Comment on Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall? 1 week ago:
In the UK, hospital administration still goes on. There’s no shortage of jobs for skilled administrators. There are people to assess whether you’re eligible for free treatment, people to assess what treatment you’re eligible for, people to bill patients who choose to go private and chase their debts, etc.
Plus there’s the extra layers of administration at local, regional, and national levels.
Plus there’s people moving money around to ensure bills get paid, facilities are maintained, and staff are fed. Money still moves around even when the patient isn’t the one paying it.
- Comment on 2022 vs. 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket prices 1 week ago:
As a non sports fan the relative prices between matches make very little sense to me.
The opening match being more-or-less tied for second-most-expensive is just silly. Isn’t it just a group match? Does it really matter that much?
And the third-place match being cheaper than the quarter-finals? Going to see who’ll finish the absolute best except for two teams doesn’t matter? If my team was in the third-place match I’d want desperately for them to finish on a high!
I guess it’s just another Sports Thing™.
- Comment on I can't say I am going to kill the president. But can the president specify me a civ saying he is going to kill me? And it be legal? 1 week ago:
For what it’s worth: you absolutely can say those things. There may be consequences, probably bad ones, but you can definitely say those things.

That’s good advice, thank you. Maybe some day I’ll be less self-conscious enough to take it. :)

- Comment on How do I make pictures less blinding if I prefer dark apps? 1 week ago:
The simplest solution by far is to turn down the brightness and contrast settings on your monitor. Turn them all the way down (or as low as you can manage), load up a bright white square, then turn them up slowly until it’s not quite unpleasant.

- Comment on If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.? 2 weeks ago:
Because they don’t actually care about “speed” or “efficiency”. All they care about is having all the money. Every decision they make is in service of that goal, including what words they say in public.
