Allison from The Breakfast Club. I can fix her.
I’m not a teenager anymore however, so yeah, no thanks, Chris Hansen. I’ll stand.

Look at Mac or Windows users.
Mac, maybe. Windows? No. Not by a long shot. I have the pleasure of using Windows 11 for work, and it’s just as bad as the fragmentation between Linux applications using GTK vs those using Qt—except it’s all made by one single corporation.
Microsoft just can’t commit to a design language. You have modernized applications made with WinSDK using WinUI, and then you have the “classic” applications made with the Win32 API. And, their designs could not be more diametrically opposed. WinUI applications are crammed full of blank space and animations, whereas Win32 applications look like “and the kitchen sink” Windows XP programs with a coat of paint slapped on top. You have system legacy applications that came straight out of Windows NT and use the same L&F since Windows 8, full of stacking popup models and design decisions made to work around limitations, you have a couple of “modern” applications that use the “my first time making a Flash game” Metro design language of Windows 8, a few more applications that use squared-edge and small border design from Windows 10, and then, finally, the Windows 11 design.
That’s four entire generations of designs crammed into a single operating system, and unless you only use it to browse the web, you are going to see all of them at some point. Fuck, the modern Settings application still opens the control panel for some things.
And again, that is just Microsoft’s programs. How about third-party software? You have some programs still using Win32 because they’re built on the bones of your ancestors, other programs using Win32 because WinUI 3 only has official support for C++ or C#, some programs in Qt for cross-platform support, even more programs using Electron because it’s more cost-effective to churn out HTML that looks like Windows than to maintain multiple frontends, and even programs that use Unity or Unreal Engine as a goddamn GUI toolkit.
Seriously, fuck that. Linux might be mostly split across two GUI frameworks and proprietary pity-offerings that only exist because the company was already using Electron, but at least it’s consistent within them.
With how far it’s went, I can guarantee that they’ll be withering in someone else’s annexed hole.
Keep the PC locked down, though. Think of it like giving an old gaming PC to a kid.
I know nobody wants to hear this, but it’s more like giving an old gaming PC to a 13 year old. If anything is going to break it, it’s going to be the malware downloaded from “sketchy” sites of a certain variety.
I wouldn’t call the repair sweatshops used by OEM manufacturers any better. Fix it yourself.
I do feel discouraged that it’s the healthcare system that’s holding back my business opportunity. Shouldn’t be like that.
Your business opportunity isn’t an opportunity for competitors’ shareholders; you’re more valuable to them being exploited for labor, and decades of “socialism is communism” governments and corporate lobbying have made it as difficult as possible to enter the market without being funded by and beholden to investment firms.
While the situation is utter shite, don’t let it discourage you. Just make sure to be safe and have an emergency fund that isn’t tied up in your business.
This sounds like a perfectly reasonable plan from the perspective of a conservative. Criminalize porn so people have to take the urges out elsewhere, criminalize abortions so rape victims have to give birth, and slash social services and education funding to create the next generation of uninformed, emotionally-driven voters.
Unless the GPU is an Arc, compatibility between the motherboard and GPU shouldn’t affect much more than the maximum performance you can squeeze out of the GPU. As a protocol, PCIe is backwards compatible.
If your RAM is seated as 1 and 2, make it 1 and 3 or 2 and 4.
Never assume. RTFM when trying to use dual channel memory.

There are some Rs that they like, though:
If you had not plugged your metaphorical ears and doubled down on an ad hominem, you would have seen that some of those receipts are self-reported filings from PETA themselves to the government.
I would link the definition of “ad hominem” for you, but let’s be real: you’re not going to read that either.
>you think euthanizing sick animals is bad?
>PETA euthanizes more than sick animals
>you think PETA doesn’t euthanize sick animals?
There isn’t a single thing I can say to convince someone who isn’t arguing in good faith.
The website has receipts. Feel free to actually read them.
It’s not mercy killing when the animals weren’t suffering and weren’t voluntarily given up. It’s murder for the sake of their agenda.
TL;DR: Domesticated animals deserve death. More specifically, because they letting them live is “inhumane” because they won’t thrive without human influence—which they’re strictly against.
IMO: These people are fucking psychopaths.
Edit: Yes, that specific site is sponsored by the meat industry. I didn’t think it needed to be said, but don’t take sensational topics at face value and read any receipts provided (which they did). Or, use Google and find other sources (that are also probably backed by corporate or political interests). In either case, PETA has made it pretty clear that they’re hypocrites who are euthanizing healthy animals.
That part comes when they find a publisher.
EGS? Oh, no. We don’t do that here. We’re more along the lines of:
It’s like scope creep, but where the demanding client is also your boss/coworker.
Any idea that comes out of that prick’s mouth is snake oil if we’re going to be truthful about it.
