Comment I"m going to assume (Score 1) 69

it's because of all the telemetry baked-in to Windows, that is the cause of poor performance and battery life loss while asleep.

It would be interesting to run a be-bloated version of Windows on these systems, and see if it improves anything, or if the whole concept of Windows on a hand-held is a disastrous mess.

Because shiftiness and dishonesty are built into the Chinese psyche. We have measured the Asiatic brainpan with calipers and found that it lacks the capacity of the white brain. Why is it the more socially progressive the account, the more viciously racist it is? Has anyone figured this out?

It was the megacorps that backed the woke trans agenda. Amazon, Microsoft, Google (remember James Damore's memo saying that men and women were different?)

And then a transformer shot zir way through a school of white Christian children solely for their identity and shortly thereafter Biden declared a trans holiday? ON EASTER!

Don't think this wasn't deliberate because it was. How many of you got the day off at work for this holiday?

Comment Just like Federal Reserve notes! (Score -1) 44

A private company issuing its own currency and selling it to us at a profit? Why, that's just like the Federal Reserve, which despite the name is a private company just like Apple or Microsoft. Imagine the government appointing the boards of those companies and you get the idea. Why do we need a company to sell our own money to us? Why can't the US Treasury just print it instead? JFK had the same idea and issued United States Notes. He was assassinated shortly thereafter. LBJ immediately ended the program.

United States Notes are collectors' curios today. My grandfather had some, along with rolls of silver quarters before the Fed turned them into worthless nickel-clad copper.

Comment tried it. (Score -1) 116

Editing a spreadsheet with OpenOffice. It crashed and said it didn't have permission to write to some directory in C:/user. 30 minutes of work lost. I get it, fixing bugs is boring and open source developers prioritize new features because that's what gets them their next gig. Report the bug? Tried that many times back in the day. Gets marked notabug or wontfix and I was rudely toly told off to fix it myself or hire someone to fix it. Won't get fooled again.

If you're dumb enough to use Beidou, your entire movement history is available to an adversary nation, China. Why not just use the /Russian one instead? GPS is the safe one, nobody is spying on you. National security spying on Americans is illegal by Act of Congress, with stiff prison terms for anyone who violates this sacred trust.
