    LOL look just stop it.

    Office 365 is $15 USD a month per person. Go get a registered domain. Get hosted email + all the office shit. Go get a good Lenovo and there you are.

    I did this for my employee's and guess what? I'm not the one wasting hours fucking around on file formats. I'm not the one dealing with shit hardware.

    You may as well hand her a paper notepad.

    Why not? It works great. I don't even need to use a shitty VPN anymore. VDI's are awesome.

  9. and honestly was pretty surprised that steam worked at all. Like all of it, messaging, purchase, download all that jazz.

    Then again damned near nobody has a PC, buying one is a fucking mission and beyond. I could go down from the hotel and find 30+ stores selling the same cellphones over and over again, but had to drive 2+ hours to find a dingy store that had rudimentary PC parts.

    Crazy but true.

    Just like the OS/2 IBM lies we were all fed. Turns out that Microsoft had 386 features ready to go in 1987. Needless to say, they shipped them in Windows/386, and managed to get Xenix 2.2 for the 386 out in 1987.

    IBM blocked the 386 OS/2 version until 92, and stopped Microsoft from bringing Windows to OS/2. Naturally they brought it to NT OS/2.

  17. Re: Nope. Don't you remember PowerPC? on Apple Prepares MacOS Users For Discontinuation of 32-Bit App Support (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I used to think the same thing, but then I out a 2006 Mac pro vs a 2005 Quad G5. The Intel cpu is way cooler, and faster. Be the G5 was a crap processor. It was good to jump out of PowerPC, but yeah it's a joke how quickly they killed OS X on PowerPC.

    But the real truth is that iPod, and the iPhone, and iPad sell a hell of a lot more than any Mac.

    Apple computers are effectively dead.

    I worked right besides a fraud department for a major credit card company.. it never ceases to amaze me how ingenious the scammers we're, how the first few times were completely missed by all the fraud detection, and how every single one just kept on doing the same thing over and over thinking if it works once or twice, it'll surely work 200 times...
