I just put my ozone generator in my car for a couple of hours if it has any smell I don't like, be it wet dog scent or musty smell from too much wet weather. It kills all the smells.
PLease tell us you open all the windows to let the ozone out before driving. Yeah - I know ozone smells good. So does benzene.
Actually the smell is associated with stuff that is cheap.
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss what he wrote. olfactory memory is one of the most potent sorts of memory. Probably evolved to keep us from eating tainted or rotten food.
There are some Chinese products that I have a visceral and immediate negative reaction to. I'm pretty certain it is an estrogen mimic in some of their plastics, although I've never analyzed it. Smell is powerful, and I think for many people mysterious.
Americans love the smell because they associate it with getting a brand new car. This is a big deal in car culture.
Exactly. The olfactory nerves are directly wired into the brain. And smell memory is maybe the most potent memory there is. New car smell instantly makes me happy. The smell of crayons takes me back to pre-school. The shore smell relaxes me. That's the good side of olfactory memory.
Chinese hate the smell because it represents chemical contamination, something they know all too well.
And we have the bad side. Many concentration camp victims would freak at the smell of chlorinated bleach. And some of the plastics and synthetic rubber coming from China has a distinct naptha smell which would fit within your analysis of their hate of chemical smells. Some others have what I think is estrogen mimics all through them.
Many Tesla critics pointed to these cars stored at airport or industrial park lots as baking in the California sun with attendant degradation. But we now know that proud owners of Tesla cars were spared having to inhale to toxic fumes of the New Car Smell.
Yep. She should take one for the team and say that she'll go to jail as long as Hilary goes first.
I'm sure that is a case of whataboutism, but I do not agree. Notaking a hit for the team, but in pursuit of the law, put both of them in prison. No excuses, no parole, mandatory prison time, serve the whole sentence, then be a convicted felon. And known forever as criminals.
This is zero problem with me. Do you think that the party of Trump would agree?
After all, the new America under dear leader has promised to drain that swamp and rebuild America.
One of the first things is to re-eestablish respect for the law. To jail with both of them. Hobow dat?
I don't feel that this is a controversial opinion.
It isn't. Its an uninformed opinion.
And supposedly yours is somehow "informed"?
I've used and supported MS-DOS, Mac, Windows 3.1 and all the other flavors of it since the late 80's, and IBM Mainframes from the late 70's, and Linux since the mid-oughts. On a daily basis.
The first words from a troll thinking it's got a valid counter argument.
Try sticking to the argument. And I gave a counter argument, not a worthless post. like you just made.
Then again, it was probably a wise thing staying as AC, otherwise I might have made your pathetic excuse for a post my sig line, as a demonstration that you can have an IQ of 10 and still remember to breathe. Who knew?
Now give mommy and daddy's laptop back to them - they aren't fooled by your homework excuse, and are wondering why all of the shemale midget scat porn is now on it. They haven't figured out why the keys are all sticky though.
What separates the dictatorship of Apple and Microsoft, from the Dictatorship of Linux is that all subjects under the rule of Linux are free to form their own new country under their own new management whenever they chose.
What has the adoption of systemd gotten us? New distributions. Don't like systemd you're free to continue not using it. Don't like systemd but do like the base distribution, you're free to start a group and modify it, e.g. Devuan vs Debian.
Exactly. I would further the distinctions just a bit in that Apple's dictatorship is much more benign. Microsoft has become incompetent.
But in either case, Linux provides a very good path to control of your devices.
I think the fact that Widows updates break so much on people's computers that they look at updates the same way as they look at other malware. Vista poisoned the waters first, and the train wreck of W10 just made the concept of as few updates as possible the smart move.
. Just because users do something doesn't mean that users don't want something else. Compare the updates from Windows to those of MacOS. Compare the costs of migration from a large step to incremental changes. Compare the actual costs (Windows 7 cost money). Compare the history (Windows updates in the past came at the cost of requiring new hardware).
I don't think users *want* OS updates twice a decade. I think they were forced into that position.
Mic drop! Exactly. My Macs get lots of updates. I still decide when to install them. The main reason to delay a Mac Update is to do it at a convenient time. And they work after the update, so I don't have a concern. My Linux OS machines as well. Both just work.
W10? What a shitshow! When it came out, I got some bad info about controlling updates and was led to believe I could by using Pro. My bad - I could only delay them - mostly. The results were renamed audio drivers (I have a few dozen) drivers replaced with what Microsoft decided was right. Programs deleted, or preferences reset, and a few other issues. Fortunately I wasn't bit by the latest issue of file deletion or denied access to programs used in the cloud.
And there we have exactly why Windows users don't want updates.
Or perhaps better stated, they want updates that don't trash their computers - they've just been trained to fear them. My guess using all three major OS's is that when you don't fear updates, like MacOS and Linux ones, you don't worry about how often they occur.
The update/roll back, Customer as quality control, and it's issues that Microsoft has been having lately would seem to indicate that Microsoft has completely lost control of their process. I wonder how long until an update brings on a real W10 apocalypse?
If anything, Apple is even more arrogant than Microsoft, fuelled by the lemming-like loyalty of its fanbois. That arrogance has resulted in Apple dictating what users want, such as:
Oh Bullshit, What about those of us who use all of 'em - Windows, Linux and MacOS devices doing real work.
You're projecting with your "lemming like" and "fanbois" stupidity. I posted about living in a bubble because I know I'm not. I use them all. I have experience in them all. And you are trying to bullshit a bullshitter (look that up).
I have never ever had an Apple Update cause my computer to stop working. Or Linux for that matter.
I've had Windows 10 do it a lot. I made a lot of money in my career in fixing Microsoft fuckups clear back to XP days.
But the long and short of it is If you walk in and the computer fails and it isn't hardware,, but an update causes it regularly and you have a big fat failure. In that regard, Windows 10 is a failure.
And a side note that I have some MacOS computers with core2Duo running just fine. Look up how far they can be updated, and not a forced update ever. Not even on my new Macs. I choose when to update. Not that it is a crapshoot like W10. RTFA, Sparky! It sucks, my good chachalaca, that's what this is all about, forced and ill prepared and vetted updates borking people's computers.
Stupid headphone jack shit as well - I haven't wanted a headphone jack for years on the toy iPhones. But still - I'm talking about real adult type computers. So is the article.
But if we want to talk shite about the little toys, lets talk about the incredibly successful Windows Phone. Hey - but you can use that headphone jack, amirite?
My devices need to work, and your trying to stretch the argument to toys is grasping at straws. But hey - enjoy that Windows phone - I hear they've cornered the market. And Android is so secure - but it still isn't the argument, Sparky - It's Windows 10 as a Service. If you want ot talk about that, fine. If you want to talk about headphone jacks on toys, fuggidaboudit
Swap “Microsoft” and “Apple” and the statements still hold true.
Perhaps I've lived in a bubble, but Apple is nothing like Microsoft - Examples pleas.
Since you asked, here's an example of how Apple forces shit on users and you just have to accept it.
Oy, I do have to admit I was thinking more about how Windows 10 updates come along and rename all of my audio drivers, or delete files, or bitch up programs so badly that I have to Revo them and reinstall in order to get them to work. I guess I wasn't thinking of keyboard command changes, especially since I use all three major OS', and have to remember the inherent differences in keyboard commands from OS to OS.
I sleep between 4 and 5 hours a night. And I take a lot of guff for that. Lectures on how I'm killing myself, blah blah, blah.
Do these conversations where you receive all this criticism start with you boasting that you only need 4 hours of sleep a night?
Because I'm not convinced that people are breaking in to your house, sleep studying you, and then lecturing you. I think it's more likely that you're annoying them into doing so.
No, they start by people talking about how they can't function without their minimum 8, or how they have to drug themselves in order to get a healthy amount of sleep, or how they are really concerned that they only got 6 hours of sleep a night for a week, and are planning on seeing a doctor to find out what is wrong with them. Its merely conversation among people. I might be asked how much I get, because they notice I'm in really early at times, or I just might note it during the conversation.
I could really care less about the specifics of how much time I spend sleeping. I do find it annoying when I either get a lecture, or the tack that you take, that I am for some reason boasting. Any concept of that is jealousy on their part. It is just what it is. 4 to 6 hours a night. Its no big deal, and it isn't unhealthy.
It is amazing to still hear after all these years that people think that Microsoft takes telling. They don't. Microsoft will decide what you are going to accept.
I think you're being slightly naive. The tech media journalists are not really trying to tell Microsoft anything. They're serving Microsoft by helping the customer base blow off steam. It makes the Windows users feel like they have a say: "Yeah! You tell 'em, Hoffman."....Or Bott, or any of dozens of other journalists who pretend to think for themselves but essentially work in the Microsoft "ecosystem".
I do not see how what you wrote is not in line with what I wrote.
This reminds me of the early days with electricity and radioactive elements. In both cases, lots of people inexplicably concluded that the new technology would be a panacea and sold things like electrocution shirts to cure disease.
And many of them killed themselves in their pursuit.
But some things never change. The radium girls, who were taught to make a fine tip for painting watch dials by sticking the brush in their mouth - and dosing themselves with lethal doses of radium, were accused of being sluts who contracted VD. Then they dosed children with high levels of X-Ray Radiation with flourograph shoe fitting devices.
Now we're a lot better about safety, but still do not understand money and what happens if you allow a small group to corral most of it.
It doesn't matter if we're talking mega-corps or mega-governments. When they get too powerful and control too much, they must be restrained.
Strat
Sounds awfully socialist to me!
Just kidding, because I agree. Because it is true. We live in an age where corporations have become the defacto ruling class.
And while harnessing greed to enable capitalism, or whatever off flavor of it we are dealing with, the corporate ruling class and their toady minions, the politicians, have put a brick on the throttle pedal and cut the brake lines.
We live in a nation now where working minimum wage qualifies you for poverty benefits, and a fellow gives 1.6 billion to a University. This is not a sustainable situation, and this statement is coming from a person who is pretty well off.
that's the difference between $1,600,000,000.00 and around $23,000.00. The math is pretty damning.
Swap “Microsoft” and “Apple” and the statements still hold true.
So are you defending Apple or what? Are you saying that Apple is going to OS as a service? Inquiring minds need to know about your whataboutism.
I've dealt with both since Mac Toaster and 286 MS-Dos, and I need enlightened on hoa Apple is the same as Microsoft. Perhaps I've lived in a bubble, but Apple is nothing like Microsoft - Examples pleas.
"No PC users asked Microsoft for Windows as a service," Hoffman complains. "It was all Microsoft's idea."
It is amazing to still hear after all these years that people think that Microsoft takes telling. They don't. Microsoft will decide what you are going to accept.
I'll probably get marked as troll for this, perhaps only because the truth triggers some folks.
There is a conversation going on CNet right now that brings out all of the reasons why the faithful will accept whatever Microsoft tells them they will accept.
The locked in factor. Some people look at the lock-in to Microsoft almost like it is some advantage.
The Macs are too expensive. Will they be too expensive when they pay a monthly fee for Windows?
Linux is something something
The fact is that Many Windows users will simply accept whatever Microsoft decides that they will accept. Microsoft knows this, and has no reason to change tactics.
>if you wake up feeling rested after 4 hours, are you an insomniac?
No.
It's not about number of hours of sleep.
Insomnia is when you wake up every fucking day with that "jet-lag"
Nothing nice.
Exactly. But I've taken shit most of my adult life for my sleeping habits. I note that many of those same people stress over whether they are getting enouigh sleep, taking enough probiotics, and laxatives, and vitamins, and other Corporate Medication BS.
What I wish was folks would elect politicians who would do something about it. Trump promised, but he still hasn't even reverse Obama's executive order letting H1-B spouses work. He could do that with a stroke of a pen, and it's not like he's unaware, he talked about it during the campaign. Here we are 2 years in and not a damn thing's changed. He said some mean things and there was talk of less immigrants coming, but that didn't show up in the numbers or my wages.
You didn't think that Trump and the Republicans work for you did you?
Dood! There's money to be made, and baksheesh to be reeled in. As long as the party of the Moral High Ground can tell you what you want to hear, and then do as they dam well please, and still get your vote, this is what you'll get. Trump 2020 - do not disappoint them!

Dangerously close to howaboutism on my part, but I think letting unsold vehicles to rot is a crime.
Maybe Fort et al, could sell the Chinese these brand new vehicles? Seems they should have outgassed by now.

The Macs are too expensive.
That sounds like a rational decision, not "locked in".
Speaking about being flagged as a troll, I'll tell you the absolute truth: Windows survives because it is still the best overall OS
.
Talking about being locked in. You will accept whatever they do to you. Stockholm syndrome.
