I've almost seen zero ads in about 15 years. I use all the types of adblockers: browser extensions and dns-based. I don't use traditional TV or movie theatres. I don't read printed magasines. So really, really close to no ads in 15 years. Yesterday I went to the fueling station with my car: there was nobody else. They changed the station so now, there's screens showing ads and really loud audio. Since there was nobody else, I could hear all 8 pump's ads screaming at the same time. It was really dystopian and overstimulating. I only managed to put like 5 litres and I couldn't stand it, I was screaming at the screen to stop shouting at me. I did pay my 5 litres that I put in, but I left for another gas station. I will never return to that one, which was my usual one.

How times have changed. If you have used Windows 98, you were always the administrator. Your five years old brother could actually go around deleting random system files.

It’s imperative the cylinder remains unharmed.

Incorrect. Linux can run on conputers from the 1990s. That computer is newer than that. It is not the minimum requirements.

I'm surprised by the comments here. I use 90% IPv6. For me v4 is only present for retro compatibility. The transition was hard however.

Just perform a safety squint.

This problem is english language specific. It's called the dark side of the moon. In french, we say "face cachée": hidden side.

All these GPU fans starting to spin to analyse my diarrhea.

How long until they ship with their own always on 3G cellular antenna so it's always showing ads without any network setup?

Living somewhere that makes 90+% of its electricity from hydro, I am slightly confused.

FreeDOS' latest version is from 2025. Guess they would be required to comply. They don't even have user accounts...

I do love Steam, but at the same time, it required me to intall significant 32 bit support on my system. It's just sitting there, using 2GB of RAM and 20% of a cpu while the window isn't even open.

Are the workers just expected to die if there is a tornado?

Just use matrix or xmpp. Signal is centralized. If they stop offering the service it's gone forever.

Just join Canada. If you are willing to consider you aren't the center of the world, you are welcome.

I've never used a fridge that has an ice maker or water filtration. They are still premium options, or some people just don't have any use for the features.

If you don't use IPv6, you are behind. For me the transition was so hard, it's a big step behind me, wouldn't want to do it again.

This isn't correct. The invention of fuses and breakers predates the invention of wifi by a lot.

What if I tell you that noise pollution is a type of pollution? A lot of car noise is tyre noise which is proportional to speed. Also, tyre and brake particules are a type of pollution. They are created mostly from accelerating and braking.

It feels like Microsoft doesn't remember how Cortana was received. Why don't you fix Windows' file search instead?
