Ahhh, I was under the impression this was a weekly handout.

This… seems kind of amazing. You get bread and vegetables and canned goods, too? I wish I could get this each week! Good cuts of meat has gotten so expensive.

I’d like to see how this compares to other solutions like Virtual Desktop. If it’s more performative, I’ll go for it. I can’t imagine there will be a big difference.

To this day, Adobe CS5 is probably the best all-encompassing software package they’ve ever released. CS6 added a few things, but was buggy AF. Then CC came out and it’s been in eternal-beta since. So many lost files and sometimes even OS-destroying updates.

HP. This one is easy. Low hanging fruit. For me, I bought an expensive gaming laptop that arrived defective. I asked for a replacement, they denied and required I send it in for repairs. Waited a month for them to tell me there isn’t a problem. Asked for a refund instead of having it shipped back. They said that’s not how it works, they have to send it back first. So I get it, with the defect still, and call to get a refund. They initially deny a refund due to being outside the refund period and offer a “buy back” credit. I had to spend an hour explaining why that’s not happening and why they’re going to give me a refund or expect to see me in court. Keep in mind, I hadn’t used this laptop more than an hour or two and it’s been shipped around and forth for two months. I did get my refund at least, but the headache was insane and I refuse to even look at HP products.

Adobe: Already said by others. For me, it’s because they charge an insane amount of money for barely-functional software. I used Affinity products instead.

Google: They cancel their services so quickly, it’s more like they’ve blacklisted ME. I refuse to pay for anything they offer in the event it will be discontinued in a year or two. RIP Play Music.

Amazon: Prices increase, service quality decreases, value decreases exponentially. The product I paid for at $79/year was far more superior to whatever Prime costs today. Mostly third party cheap trash. Unfortunately, and most likely by design, there are just a few specific reasons I’m forced to give Amazon money every so often. But at the very least, I’m making the highest conscious effort to avoid them.

I’ll update this if I come up with more.

Edit 1: Netflix: They keep removing quality content and increasing prices. Anti-consumer shit. They are both the reason I stopped pirating and considered starting again.

Same, top left is my choice.

I have never been a huge fan of the combat for the series. I put 2 hours into 2, 20 hours into 3. It’s just too slow for me due to how it prioritizes animation.

I definitely prefer more responsive combat over fancy animations. I don’t expect 4 to do that, I’m not really the target audience.

If it does, I’d love to give it a shot.

We got another one in the system. >:}

Thank you!

Fair.

We overestimate what most people do with their computers.

Most people that buy one never touch the re-installation of the OS. I wouldn’t be surprised if I learned 99% of PC users haven’t even done it once.

People buy a PC and use whatever it comes with. They don’t uninstall bloat. They might use a different browser. And then they’ll stick with it until they’re done with it.

It requires knowledge to use different Operating Systems. Most people either don’t have the time or don’t care to learn it. I can’t say I blame them, I never cared to learn about my car. I don’t ever really want to! Yet, I use it every day.

Currently graduating from my computer science degree, searching for a job in backend. :}

Update: Just got one! Junior dev role. Weeee~

How are we supposed to get industry experience otherwise?

Businesses aren’t hiring without a degree unless you have four years of industry experience to replace the degree.

Plus, we get an internship during college to get some of both.

Still don’t get hired after graduating.

It’s fucked!
