nope, i'm still on 1803 and it's gone, the only option is to set as a metered connection. but i wouldn't be surprised if you do see it, the wonder of win10 is how inconsistent it's fuckups are. kinda curious if it shows up for wireless connections only and not wired or something stupid like that, hmm

oh weird. i have a wired connection and it's there, also on any of the other PCs i can check at the moment. windows 10 is loving garbage

Either way I thought about it and I guess I understand why people would err on the side of caution with the profile pic. I have since removed the image. You are cordially invited to choke on my balls with the rest of your arguments, however.

haha guys, ok, you got me. I can totally see how my profile picture makes me look like a pedophile. Glad we talked about this. The sexualized child in my avatar stays, though. I'm sure you won't mind.

That's because there are zero sexual elements contained within the photo and you are simply an incredibly disgusting piece of poo poo for even having such a thought cross your mind.

you watch cartoons of little girls and even buy one for your avatar and caption it

b e a u t i f u l l i e

you had a naked anime child in your user profile

you are openly a member of a fandom which has it's own word for pedophile colleagues and act like that's totally normal and nothing to be deeply ashamed of

and now you're asking me to look at your avatar of a sexualized schoolgirl and not be grossed out.

nah.

you seem to think it's really, really important that no one makes fun of you for having a stupid pedophile avatar for developmentally stunted social rejects.

if you are over the age of 16 and have a cartoon girl for an avatar that is wearing sexy clothes you are gross and even if you aren't a pedophile you are pedophile adjacent.

like if a 35 year old man chooses to buy a baby one more time era britany spears avatar they are probably a pedophile too.

This becomes especially likely when your communityi openly shelters and welcomes pedophiles to the point where the commercial anime industry targets them as a market segment.

I don't give a poo poo if anyone makes fun of me. This is a comedy website. It's a completely different thing to accuse people of being pedophiles or child molesters or whatever. As a person with younger siblings whom I care deeply about it wouldn't come as a surprise that I'd take offense to your putrid, horrible comments that are based on something completely innocuous. Your argument basically consists of a loop dialog that goes like "your avatar is sexy, I know it's sexy, but I don't want to acknowledge why it's sexy to me."

You keep practically owning yourself with every post you make, however, and it's amazing to watch it unfold live, so I guess you're living up to the "comedy website" part.

cortana so bad partner companies are removing it from their products

quote:

The GLAS smart thermostat, which is built by Johnson Controls, is losing its key Cortana integration. Once touted as the only Cortana-powered thermostat, Johnson Controls says it’s now removing Microsoft’s digital assistant from its device. A new software update is rolling out to the thermostat soon, and it removes Cortana completely.

“The Microsoft Cortana voice assistant will no longer work on your device,” reads an email to GLAS customers. “Moving forward, you will still have access to other voice assistants to control your thermostat through the Works with functionality of Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant.”

you can tell it's well and truly doomed because microsoft has started to pivot it to enterprise use

quote:

Microsoft’s new Cortana boss outlined the new vision for its digital assistant earlier this year in an interview with The Verge. “I think one of the challenges we’ve had over the last couple of years is finding those places where Microsoft can really add a lot of value,” explained Andrew Shuman, Microsoft’s CVP of Cortana engineering. Microsoft now sees Cortana’s value in conversational AI and in repositioning Cortana as a skill that can run anywhere instead of competing with Alexa or Google Assistant.

this happened with vr several years ago, we had a presentation from the ~*innovation group*~ at the bank I was working at and they were like "we spent a year making a VR branch where customers can chat with teller avatars" and someone asked if it was faster or easier than using the website and they answered "no but we need to be where customers are going" so someone else asked if any customers had asked for this and they ignored the question and moved on to a thing about selling coffee in branches like capital one does

I actually could have got a job on that team but I don't think I would have lasted long before I got fired for asking snarky questions I guess I'm not an innovator at heart
