Forests, bush and jungle once stood where pasture now exists - until itâ(TM)s spent and becomes void of anything but dust.

Rest in peace.

Is how Amazon axed The Tick after season two. Itâ(TM)s probably the best TV Iâ(TM)ve ever watched since the cartoon from 20 years ago, and they just killed it. ðY

Just check with your car insurance regarding the age of your car tyres, they might not insure an incident if theyâ(TM)re older than a said amount of years.

"Your entire life will be subscription-based 30 years from now."

Which isn't a bad thing. My weekly fresh fruit & veg is ordered under a "subscription" model. Saves me from going to the supermarket thus I avoid the junkfood isle.

The problem here is price gouging & monopolies - not the subscription model itself. And I believe competition will be the answer to high prices. For example, if Airtable decided to increase their pricing by $$$, I can guarantee the first thing their customers will do is type in google "Airtable Vs...". But how about if we look at Airtable as the customer. Which vendors are they locked in with to deliver & maintain their product? What if the vendors that Airtable use suddenly jacked up their pricing by $$$, which coincidentally are the same vendors that Airtables competitors use too, so all these similar vendors all jack up their price in sync... Hmmmm...

Silicon has a LOT to do with biological life. Plants slurp the stuff up non-stop.

So how long until Windows 10 updates screw users and force them to update? ... oh wait.

... you're!

I'm curious as to how old your OLD PC is. :) Old isn't the problem. It's simply the HDD is the bottleneck. Coincidentally, quick booting up and shutting down are one of the first observations you'll see with an SSD drive, even on an old computer. I've installed SSD's all modern systems, however the oldest systems would be on an AMD 8450E and atom based systems, they boot in a matter of seconds after the upgrade, some one Windows 7, others on Windows 10, the OS doesn't make a huge difference. Also, most SSD's ship with clone image software, so you're keeping your old system image AND the old HDD is now an on the shelf static backup.

It's 2016, why are you defragging? Go by an SSD already!!!

This. I had to repair WU on my W7 laptop last week, and all the hidden WX updates all came back. Wonder if they'll remove them from the MS update servers once July is over, but they're likely just to leave them there to rot.

I have never rage quit anything as hard as when I rage quit MS Word during my picture heavy study assignment the other day. It's all a bit of a blur now, but I distinctly remember the hate, the absolute hate I had for all things Microsoft after it complete fucked my assignment. Hours were lost. :( But, from every down there's an up. That day I gave up on Word for ever, my friends reminded me that I had Powerpoint installed, and needless to say that all my assignments are done, rightly or wrongly, in Powerpoint... and I can put my photo's where ever the fuck I want.

I would like to subscribe.

Too late. I just had a vision of the future, and it was truly terifying.
