  1. Or Chrome, the eater of RAM.
    Chrome would prolly cripple the system after 5 tabs.

  2. And its stuck in the Store. Do not forget that.
    Hey, I was one of those 5 ZuneHD user. It was actually quite nice. It had a couple of neat games.
    Now, the software that you HAD to use to put music on it was worse than iTunes. Also, IIRC, the format support wasn't great. I think it was MP3, WAV, and whatever the MS one was. The video player would only do .WMV. That wasn't a deal break for me. Screen was too small for movies, and my music collection is almost all MP3s.

  3. I am pretty sure this will run Win 10, and nothing else without degraded performance on the system.

    ISPs have announced that their internet packages are going up in price on the 12th.

  5. Nothing looks good with this. It all looks like shit

    IE is not dead. It just changed its name to Edge.

  7. ...pretty much...

    Its not all the time. I will still sign up for some things. Just most of the time. That what pretty much means.

  8. Honestly, if it requires an account you must sign up for that pretty much turns me off of a service.

    Lucky you I guess.
    My $1000 system ran noticeably slower on Win 10 vs 7.

    Win 10 barely runs on those.

  11. And I am only 30. What the hell.
    These games aren't even fun to play once you have the system figured out.

    OK. I see what you mean.
    What the actually fuck. That is terrible. And stupid. And horseshit.
    At the very fucking least, keep the win32 and UWP separate.

    News to me
    Each time I install Win 10, I must go into Setting to set them to off. None of them are off by default.
    Also, what on the win32 apps? They can still use my mic with this off.

    There is no upgrade from it from MS

    It uninstalled RSAT yet again
    Installed those bullshit UWP apps again
    Enabled Cortana again
    Made the web search from the Start Menu harder to remove
    Searching Internet Explorer on Start bring Edge up each time
    Timeline is broken, disable when I removed the UWP garbage, or only works with a handful of apps.
    All kinds of new bullshit to turn off in Settings
    Turning back off all of the things that were turned back on
    Added folders back to This PC
    Still cant search when trying to set a default program by extension in Settings

    One descent feature I found was the ability to force scroll bars to always show.

    So all kinds of them.

  16. I did want one of these on Facebook's Phone-Free, Wireless 'Oculus Go' VR Headset Is Released Today · · Score: 1

    I did want an Oculus Rift once I had the system for it, until they were bought by Facebook.
    That pretty much killed VR for me.

  17. I was the low man on the totem pole. I got the shit jobs that the more experience guys would not do.
    Ditch digging, sweeping, moving ladders and equipment, organizing stuff, and the like.

  18. You can learn from a book, I just hadn't needed to up to that point in my life so I never got one/looked it online.

  19. Yeah, if we need to run something underground.
    I do know that there are some cables down in the ground not in pipes, but I am pretty sure they were special cables.

  20. I did other stuff eventually after about half a year.
    I was wiring lights and outlets before to terribly long, but it was still terrible. Almost as bad as being in the sun.
    Just as hot. Just as humid. And the wind is cut off. At least there was shade. The AC was usually one of the last thing we would hook up.

    There isn't a sane state. They are all crazy. Red. Blue. Doesn't matter. Our govs works on two extremes with no middle ground.

  22. Still way too fucking hot. Digging trenches for pipes in 90 degree heat and 90% humidity is not fun.
    I started at 10 an hour (this was back in 2006). 10 an hour is not enough to deal with that shit. You cant really even live off that.
    Working 72 hours a week with measly pay is not great. It was just work and sleep. Work and sleep.

    Did pick up a couple of useful skills. I can wire lights, ceiling fans, and outlets without help.

  23. I work as an electrician for a year and a half.
    Fuck all that noise. Way too fucking hot. The pay was bad. The hours worse.

  24. You want the US Gov to be responsible?
    I think that this is literally impossible for them.
