  • When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.

    AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it’s collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.




  • What you said:

    “the battery of the Pixel sucks balls.”

    I was shocked because I took you at face value and thought maybe I got lucky with mine.

    Then you started talking shit about your phone working for weeks at a time and and I thought, “Who has a smartphone that works for weeks at a time without charging?”

    So I looked it up. You basically have a special use phone with a battery twice the size of everyone else’s. Then you get on a thread talking about Graphene OS and say, “Pixel batteries sucks balls.”

    Then to try and support your argument, you pull up a review that just says it “doesn’t quite live up to the standard”

    From the article YOU posted:

    “The average result for smartphones on our test is to post a time that’s just shy of 10 hours.”

    The Pixel 8…posted a time of 9 hours and 50 minutes on our test."

    So the worse thing you can say is the Pixel’s batteries are average.

    So like a typical redditor, you’re just shooting your bitch mouth off, half cocked, spouting bullshit, pretending you know what you’re talking about.

    If you were really trying to be informative, you would have said something along the lines of, “There are phones that are designed to have much longer battery life. But oh yeah, almost every other feature will be worse.”

    But you said, “PIXEL BATTERIES SUCK BALLS”, and then provide a review that places them right at the average.

    You started this conversation. Think about that next time you want to post something stupid


  • For the record, I looked it up. The pixel falls in line with most other mainstream phones. Depending on the model it can be in the lower half, sometimes upper half, but always top ten.

    Your phone seems to be specifically designed for ruggedness and battery life.

    In fact of all the reviews I can find, about your phone they essentially say: it works ok as a phone but hey, I can throw it against a wall and it has awesome battery life.

    So calling out the Pixel specifically and using the Oukitel as a metric is just straight up fuckery.

    That’s the kind of crap that needs to be left on Reddit. Go back there to post your gatekeeping bullshit.







  • Capitalism sucks for the same reason Communism sucks. For the same reason Libertarianism would REALLY fucking suck.

    Because people fucking suck.

    People will always abuse the power they have to keep/accrue more of it.

    Look at unions. Absolutely necessary for workers to unite and fight being taken advantage of by the companies who see them as nothing more than a number on a sheet. But then they can become the problem. (Look at the police unions for a perfect example.)

    Religion. It was a great tool that helped raise civilization from small tribes. It created ethical mores that cemented the value of the individual. Then the ones that became powerful went on to become institutions of manipulation and control

    There needs to be a balance and Communism is not it.

    The original commenter is right. This is a stupid meme.




  • For the love of God and all that is holy, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT embed a table into Word, from an Excel file, and leave it linked.

    It gives you the option and it seems like it should work, so that when you update the Excel document, then later access the word document, it will update that embedded table with the new data in the linked Excel file.

    Nope. It will lock up Word, Excel, your fucking computer, even if you open in safe mode and delete that table, everything is fucked.

    Just delete the word doc, that Excel file, and start over without linking anything. It will be less frustrating.

    It might even be less frustrating to throw the whole computer away, quit your job, divorce your wife, move to another country, learn that language and start over from scratch.

    I mean it was that fucking annoying, trying to get access to that document, to even copy the text, and put in a fresh word doc.

    And Google/MS Help seems to think this problem does not exist.

    Except I’m the idiot that tries it the second time and the same thing happened. (For context, the first time was in college, the second time was years later, at my job. So, completely different settings, computers, versions, etc…)
