I've run Windows with the task bar set to auto hide forever. I just do, I like it that way. What I don't like is that occasionally (often) something* will get 'stuck' and it won't auto hide, it just sits there like a normal task bar. But since it's set to auto hide the computer happily extends windows below the ever present, always on top task bar. Usually hiding helpful controls situated along the bottom of said window. *I'm assuming its things in the notification area, like Windows Update popups, "This device is safe to remove", etc. Its just annoying as all hell and no, I won't give up my auto hiding task bar.

It's a thingy that changes the look of the os to be whatever you customize it to, it's pretty fuckin' rad. I have it and I've made it so everything's super minimalistic and clean. http://rainmeter.net/ give it a look, maybe it'll help your pet peeve sadness. This looks really neat, thanks.

I'd get that all the time when I worked at a gas station. Someone would drive up, grab a case of beer and come to the counter. ID?  Uh, no. I just need some beer.Yeah sure but I need an ID for the beer, just like you probably need one for driving so, the gently caress, dude?

I've been chasing the gremlins that keep causing my new desktop to wake itself from sleep at random times and I think I finally got the last one. No, windows media player update check, you aren't important enough to wake the computer whenever the gently caress you feel like.

Whatever it was, its taken me a few weeks to weed out everything that has been waking the computer from sleep for no apparent reason. W10 sure seems to have more of that crap by default than 7 did.

grittyreboot posted:I get home from work at around 3:00 in the morning and I'm pretty sure the city set the lights so the streets I take are always on red. I once sat at one of them just to see, and it stayed red for around three minutes until I got fed up and ran it. Now the route I take is slightly more roundabout and it drives me nuts. When a light isn't cycling like that just treat it as a 4 (or X, i guess)-way stop. Some of the tiny logging towns around here switch their solitary lights from signalling to standby between like 10PM and 6AM around here, same practice.

Are we doppelgangers? If it tastes fine I have no problem with tap water but people look at me like I'm insane. Even my roommate has asked why I don't refill the britta* pitcher, why should I? Cause I've never used it! The tap water tastes fine. And I'll never understand people who don't eat leftovers. Seriously? Cold pizza rules  And it's nice to have home-cooked meals in the fridge I can warm up with 2 minutes in the microwave or 15 in the oven.*Actually if we have guests over or are throwing a party I'll be a good host and keep it topped up but don't jump my poo poo for it being empty when there are two of us in the house and one person uses the fucker.

Solid Cake posted:I've seen lots of people post in here about how it bugs them when people stop at a red light and they're over the white line where the crosswalk goes, sometimes almost in the intersection. That annoys me too, but I've been seeing a lot of just the opposite lately and it's even worse. People will pull to a stop at a red light, but they'll be like two car lengths away from the line where you're supposed to stop. Why are they stopping way back there?? It's so infuriating. Like I could see not slowing down quickly enough and accidentally rolling over the line, but you'd have to be very purposefully stopping that soon. Why?? It gives them more time to creeeeeeeep forwards/false start 2 or 3 times when they're absolutely sure it's their turn in the cycle but NOPE. Still red. The best part about those people is that when the light does finally go green they don't go for a good 3 seconds at least.
