I have to use it, it’s the corporate setup. Every day I envy plumbers who unclog toilets.

Yes that does seem to describe modern computing, indeed, consumer electronics in general.

It’s no longer about solving actual problems, it IS the problem.

I’ve given up trying to understand modern PC software. I can barely keep up with the little microcontrollers I work with. They aren’t so little.

Probably that’s the folder explorer or whatever itself crashing.

It’s to prevent TEMPEST hackers from reading his screen, ergo his mind, through the walls.

Boring. I want the Kuro5hin site. That was actually good and hysterically funny at the best times. ASCII reenactment players of Michael Crawford anyone?

Or a B-2.

As a programmer myself I don’t care about RAM usage,

But you repeat yourself.

But how can I get anything done with these meager 128 GB computers?

I’ve never seen that LOL. I’ve seen various stances used in various decades, mostly from old movies where they show what’s “cool”.

The funny “pistol pointing up while looking around a corner” to whatever’s going on here:

I also saw what I call the arm brace in the movie Harold and Maude.

gosh what an obsolete stance. What’s next? The 1970’s arm brace/pooping stance?

Did you just make up “hate” from an imaginary argument you made up? I am simply baffled by the behavior and “needs” of people these days. In what universe is limiting “remote streaming” a problem? How many hours a day do you need to be entertained for?

It’s more like I’m surrounded by compulsive hoarders and chronic upgraders, for what? You can’t watch any more movies than you have conscious free hours in a day. I don’t get it anymore.

Computers used to solve problems, now they are the problem.

Food is essential, the new shiny way to gobble more RAM to display a blue mushroom in a button isn’t.

Sorry, I didn’t read your reply, I was streaming every movie, album, book, and magazine in existence to every location in the universe at all times. Even when I blink I have 16K screens inside my eyelids.

This is normal behavior in 2025. If you cut off my terabit stream, I will writhe on the ground and scream.

I am not in any way addicted to digital hoarding or continuously upgrading systems that have already exceeded the capacity of any normal person to watch a movie since 20 years.

Said the needle to the arm. You’re all addicts.

Seems pretty simple to parse, what is causing you an issue? What is not clear?

Imagine being so addicted to having every nanosecond of your waking life filled with noise and colors that this announcement means anything.

What is the purpose of any of this? What problem is being addressed?

Who pays you on your off time? Bad logic.

Buy a broom ya lazy bums
