I imagine whether United States is correctly alphabetized or if it’s at the special number 1 spot is a direct result of how many boomers a company deals with

Black Noise posted:Update and Restart & Update and Shutdown mean the same thing. What a country Really love not having control over when updates happen. Logged into the work computer yesterday which is a gigantic piece of poo poo that barely runs the software it needs at the best of times. Everything stutters, can't use it. Oh yeah, first time it's been turned on since the Tuesday windows update, it's going to take 50% cpu for a half hour to update. If I had control of it, I'd tell it to run during the hourlong meeting later in the day but noooo, windows knows better than me what's best for the computer I'm using.

Why would you look in the Us if it was already up there at the top? British Airways has UK first, USA second, followed by Afghanistan Algeria Andorra etc, which I find amusing. Suck it, continental Europe.

If you select it, it displays every language it has in alphabetical order and starts you at A, instead of putting thr language the user interface is currently being served in as the default.

I don't know if this is widespread, but there was a company selling software that allowed law firms to store several megabytes on a sheet of paper to fulfill a legal requirement that they keep a paper record. As long as your USB drive was really small, that's how you'd print it.

I like to joke thats because a bunch of oversea peeps are vpning America to stream stuff, so google is just helping those people.

At some point in the past year, Costco toilet paper changed and now aerosolizes itself into microscopic toilet-paper particles that coat everything when even slightly moved, what the gently caress

The Charmin is worth the extra few bucks. This is coming from a guy who, less than five years ago, was exclusively using industrial brand TP that I took home from work.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:Unironically - SA has what is probably my favorite community site design on the Internet. It's very simple - it uses space to provide functionality very well. It's snappy as hell. It wasn't built for a phone by some dumbass front end engineers who then just said, 'gently caress it' when it came to the desktop design. It gets the job done in all the right ways - I wouldn't change much.

Spotify just started playing random songs that aren't on my playlist. Why the gently caress would they do this????? Do they not understand what the loving point of a playlist is???????? I turned off what seemed to be the setting doing this (Autoplay similar content) and it's still happening.

I had the same issue and spent some time figuring out they added a new shuffle play setting that does that, I turned it back to normal shuffle and it solved it.

Yep that was it, thanks for the tip. I guess I was supposed to notice the little star they added to the shuffle icon?? Still can't understand what this was for when the whole point of a playlist is you pick the songs you want to hear.

It offers me dozens of playlists to choose from based on what I've listened to in the past. Each playlist always contains the same bunch of songs (I've already heard) each time.

Probably for auto-playing songs with smaller royalty obligations or Spotify owned-no royalties, and hoping the user doesn't notice.
