I live in B.C. and applaud losing the time change, but think the choice of time zones going forward wasn't the best.

I'm expecting major buyer's remorse this winter when people realize that the sun sets at 5 in December and January, and doesn't rise until 9.

They didn't even activate the Emergency Alert System in the Washington DC area during 9/11.

We were all in the dark, relying on stupid rumors on the local talk and news stations for HOURS.

Why would I go listen to the radio when I'm broken down on the side of the road? What are you talking about?

It is really fun, but it kills the HD Radio signal. That's why most AM stations turn off their HD Radio signals at night.

Not to mention the 6-10 second delay in hybrid mode (3-8 seconds on full MA3 HD) making HD Radio practically useless when watching sporting events.

We have two full HD Radio AM stations here in DC:
WFED 1500 and WSHE 820.

They use HD Radio's "MA3" mode.

Fun fact: WSHE 820 (then WWFD) was the first all-digital HD Radio AM station in America.

I'm still bitter from the Reddit Is Fun debacle where Reddit implemented a pay-as-you-go model for anyone using their API, killing the app.

Xbox is like MSNBC.
Microsoft said they never made a dime from either one.

Yeah, the cheap Lenovo models use plastic rivets, too.
The high-end models use screws.

It's annoying. I guess you get what you pay for after all.

I used ChromeOS Flex back when it was called Neverware CloudReady.

It was fine. I guess we get what we pay for.

They are worth less than the cost to ship them (unless you find a gullible rube on eBay).
Just send them to your local e-waste dump.

You have to crack open the case and set a jumper to unlock the device to not deal with Developer Mode's bothersome prompts.

Developer Mode is a pain in the ass--just set the jumper and install a conventional OS on it.

I have a box full of these to bring to the e-waste dump.

They were underpowered and underfeatured. Even when I hacked the jumper to install regular operating systems on them, they were terrible. Netbooks were SO much better.

I don't really understand what Google was thinking when the market already had perfectly good Netbooks that weren't tied to the Google ecosystem.

Haven't we all moved to Ed25519 years ago, though?

Peak programming is Visual C++ 6.0a. It even has it's own test suite, they were called "debuggers". You could even step through code line by line and watch variables!

Agreed. Office XP / Office 2003 were and still are Peak Office when it comes to stability and consistency.

GAPPS for everything else, lol
