Let me also tell you a story about them dumping windows mixed reality…

Elite smugness

• Illustrator
• InDesign
• Photoshop
• AutoCAD
• Revit
• Civil3D
• ReCap Pro
• Outlook
• Bluebeam Revu
• Large Format printer support drivers
• AMD drivers
• Steam VR

I can run outlook and MS 365 in a browser so it’s really the other stuff I need functional to be able to switch.–

I’m halfway competent, spent 10 years in IT and even compiled my own kernel back in the early 2000s.

My last 3 attempts at running Ubuntu turned into complete and utter failures, including having to totally reinstall the system over the top of itself because the system became so corrupted it wouldn’t even boot.

And, I barely got steam to work on it. I wasted hundreds of hours and ended up with a barely functional computer that couldn’t print, didn’t support my computers wifi card, and 90% of my work programs aren’t available.

Oh, and someone please support AMD video cards.

No, they don’t.

China uses little kids to build them. If we did the same in the US, America s would want to have MORE CHILDREN because they would literally pay for themselves!

Just imagine if all middle schools in the US required 2 hours of iPhone assembly per day. It would be excellent industrial training for the future generation!

I’m hoping for 1USD = 1 yen, then were really going to be #winning by stealing all of the Japanese manufacturing industry!

What? They do. Apple sells tens of millions of iPhones each year in the US.

Linux doesn’t support VR.

15 years ago I rented an apartment, in the US, for $250 a month.

Well. Being a bigoted asshole is easy.

Actually being inclusive and nice to people takes effort.

Insanity actually

They’re trying really hard to fix that last one.

The Bab el-Mandeb is a hugely important chokepoint in world trade, and moves around 30% of global oil supply through there, along with 30,000 ships per year.

It’s closer to 15% of total global trade, which is huge and really only affects European trade. Between 1.7 to 4 million tons per day of cargo transits the strait, and it is an incredibly tight pinch point, the navigable part of the strait is only a few kilometers across. Ships are currently detouring around the horn of Africa, which adds 15 days to the journey. That’s a lot of fuel being burned.

What’s Going On With Shipping has had extensive coverage of the conflict over the past year or so, with some pretty deep insights as to what is really going on. If you’re interested.

I think it’s because they keep sinking commercial ships and firing missiles at Israel, no? They also shot missiles at Russian, Chinese, European, Panamanian, Japanese, Korean, and South American ships.

Why were bombing them now is because Trump’s a dumbass and needs to distract everyone.

When I was a kid, my parents would wax poetically about their summers spent picking strawberries and green beans earning 25 cents a day in California Central Valley. They loved it, apparently.

Good, honest work they told me. Then as I got older they demanded I attend college and get a white collar career established, lol.

To compound matters, the US is currently moving all the new manufacturing jobs into southern red states, which will be interesting. Red staters are pissed because they are experiencing major cost of living adjustments, particularly in housing prices. Which is partly why they voted maga.

Consumerism is used for wealth redistribution.

Real wealth production occurs when machines create work, saving time. Work = money.

Thats not brutalist, brutalism involves large scale raw concrete forms.

This is just cheap boxitecture.

Average american parent works (2) 40 hour jobs. So a 2 parent household is working 160 hours a week, and still cannot even afford their 4 car payments on top of the $349 espn sports package.

Anyway, no one has time to cook! Or even knows how to! Now hang on, I just pulled into chic fil a we’re going to be in line for about 30 minutes before i can get my order in.
