The Canadian researcher went on to say that they will always wake up at 6:05 am whenever the government tells him that it is 605AM. He will always drip his gravy on his poutine at 4:03PM. He will not adjust start times of work or do anything else unless everybody else changes the entire clock system so his activities always align with the clock.

Other research by this researcher included a paper on how he can repeat the same day over and over by changing the date on his watch.
He attempted to make it into a movie but everyone else seemed to be doing different things even though he was reliving the same moment in time.

He also posted information about the studio where the moon landings were staged, and how the earth is flat.

Yes, that would be a good thing to fix all of those things, but this is easy to fix, and should be..

Middle clicking and pasting a password or secret information is a serious flaw.

I really don't care about the brand name.
Does it lack buttons for the trackpad? -- Not considered
Does it have a TrackPoint -- Winner -- Will pay a premium

I ended up with used latitudes and bought a new precision. Before that it was Toshiba Tecra
There was a generation or two of Thinkpad that unusable (no button) trackpoints and that was crazy...
and I think Lenovo still can't do basic things like hold a key down and move the cursor at the same time (trackpoints are actually just fine for CAD work, just had to edit registry settings on my precision m4700 )

I always thought XPS and Inspirons were the crappy ones, and Latitude and Precision were worth consideration. I probably should have gotten a latitude instead of precision, that had great support and were a bit more mainstream.

Sorry, I am and you should be more scared to go to the UK than to China and many other places.

Post something true online and go to jail.
Say that you like bacon and go to jail.

The UK and Canada have gone to lala land.

Trump is a jerk, and I can say that.
Trump's tariffs are a great idea to incentivize making stuff that we need here in the USA.
We should be working to make great relationships with other countries, the thing is there are a lot of messed up things our allies do, and we should be able to call them out. Threatening to invade Greenland was pretty bad though. We should just work really well with them.

Windows 10 was marketed as the last windows we would ever need and they have no operational replacement.

Windows 11 is unusable garbage.

notepad is already unusable because it saves over edits that were not supposed to be saved.

They need to bring back wordpad and do all the hacking they want with wordpad. Notepad is supposed to be simple.

Tariffs are part of the solution. They need to be transparent and well considered.

Trump is pretty good at trolling. Realistically, most people are not in for the laughs.

I've been to China a few times, and I see people willing to work, people willing to build, Supply chains that put ours to shame.
China is racist and has agents everywhere.

I have to respect China, and they are dealing with their problems with mostly reasonable procedures, and they squash dissent. Dissent wastes a lot of time.

We should not be squashing dissent, we should find ways to deal with things that are beyond reproach. but we have people actively trying to destroy us, who do things like put males into women's sports and take opportunities to exploit tensions with our racial diversity.
China has been able to influence our college curriculums for quite some time, because we charge exchange students a lot of money, and that is what funds our universities. That would likely be why they have been pushing Cultivation of Racial Tribalism and other divisive ideology.

China is the superpower. We are not the superpower any longer. They are going in softly, and the people who don't want that can react and look stupid.

Humans are multi-generational organisms, and China understands that, They took some horrible chances that may yet backfire. It would be great if we can all work together.

I want my files to work cross platform.
I don't want there to be two files named the same thing differing only by case.

I don't want any non-typable characters
I don't want any reserved characters.
I would prefer not to have unicode, and no emojis, but would accept unicode from some language groups.

That ends up being very very very complicated.
So I want warnings and errors to come up when dealing with these. If would be cool to add a flag to turn off these warnings and then just treat it as anything but null and slash are valid characters, but for interactive programs, no.

I would like to be able to specify that a directory can only include files that match a certain format.. so maybe some folders can only take the characters 0-9 and that is it... or specify a maximum length, in both characters and bytes because unicode can have many byte characters.

Gemini wastes more time than it saves.
Google assistant worked, and they removed it.

There are no chimes to let us know it is listening, resulting it repeating commands over and over, then it argues or over apologizes then does the same thing over.

AI should not be used as a black box. Giving suggestions or selecting an algorithm and allowing one to select something different are needed.

Alexa can tell what I am saying very well, but it has bad weighting, it does things like fire phasers even when it heard the correct words to run the routine I requested.

The thank yous and cursing at AIs are great feedback tools, but the developers tune out the feedback and they can go f themselves of they don't actually want feedback.

If you can read the title of the open task,
you can tell what you're doing.

If you have a quick launch, you can find what you are looking for every time.

If it is on the left, you don't have to scroll browser windows as much, and things just work better.

But hey, microsoft is down with making unusable garbage now.

Windows 95 osr2 with IE4 I think could do this. Win 98 SE could for sure... KDE4 could do even better than that and later KDE5 could too, KDE6 is not as good as 5 or 4 but blows away windows and mac.

Macs have garbage ui.

Thanks for info, I'll look into it ..

So far I really liked apt, and I felt like Ubuntu just added commercial support to debian, but snaps and flatpacks have been annoying.

yes, I work with people who have mobility problems.
you said it well.

Shakes, any vision impairment,
anger management issues,
any lack of ability to deal with unexpected things, Macintosh makes it all so hard, can accidentally do bad stuff but so hard to discover how to make it better.

I've submitted a request to have a behavior store, so I can set taskbars and everything quickly on every new machine.

KDE is the only UI that I can make right, but making it right is a challenge.

This is the best UI out there. It can be configured so many users can just use it.

You'll probably want to buy a new drive.

Yes, this is the way. We'll get them set up as a group.

I'm not wanting to may 50 bucks per year per computer
