this is pretty seriously a case of "so?", loving hell if installs failed because they crashed attempting to figure out screen geometry because a squished logo would be bad for ~branding~

the pc is messy, but there are reasons, so w/e

I write a lot for my job. for a variety of reasons, I have to use word. I never really got the hate for word - some of the autoformatting stuff is annoying, but it can also be really helpful!

but recently it has been driving me up the loving wall. doing anything with lists is a goddamn nightmare. spacing and font settings just...disappear for no reason. trying to change formatting with track changes on just produces a useless explosion of spidery red lines. I tried drafting a document in a text editor and pasting it in, but I still had to janitor a million loving things to get it to look like it wasn't a huge piece of poo poo.

this has been my word processor rant thanks for listening

word has been around since 1983. in tyool 2018, you can select a list of any number of items, copy and paste it to another part of your document, and the last item will no longer be part of the list.

the "what's a PC ads" sound kinda lame but they're well timed.

people stopped asking me to fix their computer years ago

now they ask to use it. they have computers, but they're in the closet so long and have so much malware.

they just wanna borrow my macbook to do one quick thing.

i know a girl that doesn't have an email address and she refuses to get one. probably because she's smart.

but many apps just ask for a valid phone number anyway.

the thought that Apple's advertising campaign has gone from "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" to "What's a PC?" is a pretty offensive tactic agree with the statement or not

Active Directory (AD) is a directory service that Microsoft developed for the Windows domain networks. It is included in most Windows Server operating systems as a set of processes and services.[1][2] Initially, Active Directory was only in charge of centralized domain management. Starting with Windows Server 2008, however, Active Directory became an umbrella title for a broad range of directory-based identity-related services.[3]

it’s very serious which is why your computer malfunctions when it cant connect to the ad.
