  • I do have this problem with the monitor I hook up to my laptop for gaming occasionally. It’s looser because it gets plugged and unplugged more commonly and can occasionally slip out of I move my laptop to my lap so I can lean back when my back starts to ache.

    But this is not a common situation I think











  • The circumstances of that bill are weird af too.

    They gave democrats no time to read it, and barely any time to get to the hill for the vote on the first place. Arguably, the only reason they voted for it at all is because of the congressman who pulled the fire alarm, giving dems time to read and see it was a reasonable bill.

    But, if the dems hadn’t had time to read the bill, they likely would’ve voted against it on the premise of not voting on something they don’t understand hasn’t read, and someone they inherently don’t trust presented under shadycircumstances. Then McCarthy would’ve had a shutdown like Gaetz wanted, but, one he could’ve blamed on the dems, for not voting for this very reasonable extension bill.


  • No company holds themselves back from viable improvement because of a timeline thrown out at the beginning. What a weird take.

    What is more likely “nope wecan’t make a change yet, this better product is out on every other peice of tech we and our competitors used, but someone said 10 years 2 years ago so we’re gonna wait another 6 to begin development”

    Or

    “This product is so serviceable enough for charging a phone and as long as we keep it we can continue to make significant money off of proprietary connectors”

    They upgraded the iPad because the lightening was no longer a viable charging cable, the tech couldn’t keep up. And the EU has been threatening to establish a standard since the 30pin was in service, because it locked out competition back then. It became a serious issue to deal with after dongles became standard.

    Edit: Oh God it’s you. 4 days later and another hot shit take. Apparently I need to block you to improve my lemmy experience.








  • I don’t get your first statement at all. I have no problem opening anything in office 365 and I’m the only one in my office with 365, everyone else has a version of office suite that you could buy outright (which is my biggest complaint about 365, personally I’d rather own it) and we have 0 issue transferring documents back and forth.

    Including our insanely complex payroll excel sheet that should be a database. We pay people on 7 different pay schemes, from hourly, to commission, to peice rate, with base rates and bonuses, to special pay programs, using insanely complex macros and external sources, most of which are Google sheets. And that workbook functions from 365 to 2003

    I always get warnings that I can break, but it never actually does

    What are you doing in office that causes it to break between versions?


  • That’s what kills me about people who rag on Americans.

    We order our dates the way we say them, and we use a temperature system is a great way to describe feeling heat.

    I’ve got no defense for imperial measurements beyond scooping up a cup of flour is easier than dumping it on a scale.

    But people spend more energy shitting on the cultural norms of Americans than anyone else (especially Europeans) and then spend a lot of time telling us we have no culture.
