...Google executives should sit in jail for contempt of courts until that sink in.
Why bother? They'll spend the time scheming on how to make it more profitable next time by changing a few variables.
Brand damage? They literally sell an addictive poison known to contribute to car crashes and non-consensual sex. There's a federally mandated warning right on the bottle. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
Alcohol...helping ugly people get laid too...since the dawn of time.
What did you say? Helping poo get laid?
if the dog toys took off and became a meme then yeah, it would do brand damage.

They probably lost lawyers to COVID-driven retirement, and hired former tobacco industry lawyers to replace. Insert drum roll here.
Funny you mention the product wasn't of much interest in the sea of dog toys. With legal action pending, it's now going to sell out in high demand. Gotta love the free advertising.
Hehehe. Juicy. Gigantic. Slowly. Harder.
Wait, this is about poop, right?
It's not really about confusing, it is about the brand.
I've never heard of this 'bad spaniel,' but if I was to every call Jack Daniel's shit, I would definitely make that joke now. How about some shitty Bad Spaniels?
That's not a good thing to be associated with the brand.
Now how that plays out between trademarks or free speach... I have no clue.
But I'd say it's hard to suggest it has potential/harm to them.
Imagine a play on the trademark FORD. Imagine someone released a toy call Fix Or Repair Daily, where you get play fix a toy car. That's a bad association to have with your brand.
...If nothing else, it's near-subliminal advertising for those who actually make the connection. Otherwise, no harm. Or maybe that's the purpose of the case - increase sales by just having their name and product out there (JD), and also mention the other product they have an issue with to encourage dissenters to purchase that product, hence subliminally suggesting drinking the booze, not the poos. That would only apply is legal cost resulting sales. Eh, food for thought.
I'm haven't done any correlations, but I suspect that my eye twitches much more often after I use Windows. I wonder if there's a class action suit in this.
Wait a second... Just another... Hold on. There is now. [link redacted by
Seriously, though, I believe it's harder on my eyes to adapt to the automatic brightness increase/decrease based on the white balance. My eyes have to adapt to the strain to make out medium brightness and re-train the strain to deal with the brightening based on a few more pixels of white appearing. Cool idea, bad physical response taken into account with implementation.
it's exactly the window names im looking at. This is the problem. it no longer show the full path, even truncated. Win 11 is designed for people who only use 3 apps at once.
Wow. Remembering the old days when installing through "the installer", you could choose "Full" or "Compact" etc. Perhaps the newer 11 install should allow the option for "procedural work", "balanced work", and "ADD/XTreme Multitasking" install. Not to mention the option to change things without going into the registry and having it undone every few days. I was joking with you, BTW, in case you missed that. I am not good with expressing humor without body language cues.
as well as no way to change the title bar colour to a different colour than the menu --- leading to many attempts to move a window failing because it's hard to see the title bar since it's the same colour as the menu bar below. Also what's with the alt tab not showing anything useful at all, especially when you have a few windows open with the same foldername but in different parts of the file system ?
You have to get with the times, man. Win-Tab and look at the window names, not the graphics. Only look at the graphics when you're not doing the aforementioned and trying to be more efficient.

Microsoft is unusually careful of ADA issues.
Where are the settings to assist those with mental disability issues? Hmm? Microsoft, you're gonna get sued! Again. Today. For the 23'rd time.
P.S. Is the inability to operate on a daily basis without diverting attention to Facebook every 20 minutes or less considered a disability? Cuz it would have been back in my teens-twenties. Wait, never mind. Rudimentary trees of "Chat" ware were barely becoming a usable thing back then. I give up.
Speaking of Windows annoyances, doesn't the scroll bar in Windows 10 seem way too dim? It's light-gray on white.They should get sued via ADA laws. Sure, it darkens if you hover the mouse over it, but you have to find it *before* you hover. Am I the only one who finds this highly annoying? Is geezer-hood kicking in?
I GoogleBing'd around and found registry hacks, but they disappear upon reboot or Windows update cycles. You can set Windows to a "high contrast" mode, but that buggers up other things.
WTF were they thinking? Is this a left-over from the goddam Pastel Fad that made Bootstrap dim also?
Git off my high-contrast lawn, you hazy fad-brats!
Geezer-hood. I'm with ya. Fuck this damn whipper-snapper of an OS and all it stands for. And falls for. And makes you fall for. I'm too weak to lift this machine and throw it into a wall to punish this OS or else....
Translation from Doublespeak: We want to make it harder for you to change away from out apps.
It's not as if every Windows update doesn't try to put Bing and Edge back where no-one wants it already.
I found the source code. Every update has a function called "reapplyMakeMoneyOintment()". No exceptions. No pun intended.
> Have you tried exporting the registry settings responsible for the pdf association and doing a silent importing at the end of the install script?
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
A reboot naturally comes after any deployment, so of course!

First thing that popped to my mind.
Not to be off-topic but I have to mention the laugh I got because it's so relevant.
I speed-misread it as "exploiting the registry settings". Ahh, the Windows Way(tm)(sm)
Microsoft marketing tactics are like a puppy taking a dump on the floor. Anything to get attention on their mediocre features that never quite live up to their promise or potential. I don't know why that is exactly, but I have grown weary of their half-baked BS in every Windows platform since 3.11.
I thought it was just distraction. You know, cute puppy taking a dump on the floor. Damn them! But, awwwwwww!
