Oh, good to know. I appreciate the info!

What’s AMP and why is it undesirable?

I work in a computer shop and talk to regular computer users all day everyday.

The average user might know what a browser is. Most don’t know that the Internet is outside of their computer.

Real quotes like this happen everyday: “I just get on the green one to check my Google”. Translation: I check Gmail using the Edge browser.

It took me 25 minutes the other day to explain what video chat was and that FaceTime is only one kind of it, and it’s only available on Apple devices, of which an HP laptop is not.

Do not underestimate the computer illiteracy of the common person.

Trauma, neurodivergence, or both detected!

They use it similar to “rascal”

Sadly almost all these comments are wrong. I work in a computer shop and we see the scam you’re talking about all the time. It happened because you unknowingly opened an ad. So you clicked on a button that looked legitimate like “download” or “next” or whatever, and that pops up full screen. The fix is a good ad blocker like ublock origin. Google’s being a piece of shit right now about ad blockers so I recommend something Firefox-based for effective ad blocking.

Cool write up!

I recommend you play TRAIL OUT, which is a spiritual successor to the best FLATOUT games. I like it a lot and would love to hear your thoughts!

Yes this is the correct answer. The words in the meme are written to a hypothetical end user. They would not reference technology like the other person said.

Yeah basically a kneecaped PC with horrible data policy. Example, if you have a game with a 3rd party save/account like a lot of games do, Sony owns it and you can not migrate it to other platforms. I bought my nephew a gaming PC and he lost about 2000hrs of progress in Apex because Sony owns his account.

I’m not even a snob against consoles, just Sony sucks balls these days. I’d go with an Xbox but by then you’re basically buying a PC… Although you can prob get a cheaper price on an Xbox especially if you’re not building your own machine.

This is your answer, OP.

As a backup you can have a VM with Windows and the full apps if you need them (like Access for instance).

There’s two on eBay right now, and one of them has a signed letter from the author.

Don’t forget that you’re also allowed to ask them to play, if you should feel like it

I mean…

Aaaand that’s my new phone background.

I perceived the comment you’re responding to as blatant sarcasm.

I had the same laugh. So tone-deaf.

I mean it pretty clearly says that User insights will be put into development and user benefit is first.

…will that happen? Well. Probably not. But I hope so.

I want an all-Tacoma C&C now.

I do love me some Toyotas.

Had nice ones, had shitboxes. They all make some monkey brain in me so happy to drive.

No hate on other cars. I respect all builds. But Toyota seems to have some blueprint of my nervous system that makes me have fun in them.

Did you look this up or do you have encyclopedic knowledge of Generals quotes ^(too) ?

I read all of these in-voice haha.
