The best jokes have to be told twice, the first time, and then HR wants to hear it as well…

This is what they will look like for me:

Can’t get smart fridge ads if I don’t get a smart fridge. taps forehead

They ended up like Ericson here in Sweden, dropped their handset business to focus on the network side, both Ericson and Nokia are quite successful on that side, especially since the hubub about alleged backdoors in Huawei mobile network equipment a few years back.

I don’t believe they do like the current regime, why would they?

The government is demanding more and more stupid stuff for them to do, taking time and resources from more important tasks.

Creating a more dangerous social climate, causing less people to have enough money to buy their products while increasing cost of material.

You can call it bribes, I call it paying tribute to the king.

The guys know what is going on, they know that their companies futures are in the hands of a vindictive extreme narcissistic idiot of a king. They know that to be left alone they need to pay tribute to the king.

Is it a bribe or a protection racket? Yes, it is.

There have been several workarounds in Windows 11 posted in this thread.

Everytime M$ pulls the ratchet tighter more people will escape, just let it happen naturaly.

Advice about the alternatives, but don’t lie about either side.

There are things that Windows does better than the competition, the vice versa, be honest and argue in good faith.

Here is one of my strongest held opinions:

You should not lie to get people on your side.

If your arguments are not good enough, then perhaps it is better to let people do what they are used to.

No workaround?

That is incorrect.

There are plenty of workarounds, here are a two:

• Use an older installer, create a local account and update.
• Install Windows 10 with a local account and upgrade.

I am all for bashing Windows, but please argue facts, not imaginations.

Has Microsoft started locking local user accounts?

I mean, actually locking them, not just preventing them from being created.

I suggest waiting for delivery before further action.

It was F7U12 that got me on reddit back in 2011…

Damn it, can’t get to my verification cans!

Wasn’t that YT sponsor shown to be a scam?

I mean, it is fair for the company leadership to decide on what is said through their channels.

I don’t really see any issues with them limiting what can be said when representing their company.

However, any coworker should be able to post, comment and like what they want on their own personal social media pages without it affecting their employment.

I remember various attempts by employers to force employees to represent the brand and company at all times, that is just idiotic.

I will only accept that my employer will have me say “no comment” when asked about company opinions or details in my free time.

Ah, Clarkson’s Motorworld, the first episode

Meh, block and move on, I use Discord to game with friends, we have used a Mumble server in the past, but Discord was just easier and had a better chat.

Though I will absolutely admit that I am missing the sound quality of Mumble

I wish that people would stop using kids for their own gain.

Whenever I see people using kids like this, I want to reply “Put the child down, they are not a bat for your political gains.”

But as I don’t have Twatter, I don’t.

In Sweden, we use the words “infart” and “utfart” to for entrance and exit respectively when using them in a car context.

That is weird to me, isn’t there only room for 140k souls in their version of heaven?

Why would you want to reduce you chances of getting in by adding more potential members?

What part of “first car” confuses you?

Sorry, I thought it was clear that it was an unfamiliar situation as a new driver, the lights was in a slightly unusual configuration so I didn’t see the light as I pulled up and thus never realized that I needed to shift my head to see it.
