I’m surprised that she would be surprised by that, it’s like the most obvious thing ever lol

Healthcare companies, especially insurance companies, make a living out of denying claims so that people go bankrupt and/or die from denied claims. It’s unethical and downright evil, but they do it anyway. It would be hard not to hate the CEOs of those companies. After all, medical expenses is the leading cause of bankruptcies in USA.

Healthcare fucks over everyone equally, it doesn’t discriminate.

I just bought a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 with an R7 4750U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD and put Linux Mint 22, no regrets here!

I’m sorry but the fact that people are so outraged with Biden for doing this is exactly why Kamala lost.

Trump and the Democrats are held to completely different standards. Trump is willing to fight dirty to win at all costs, and that’s why he won. It sucks to hear but it’s true.

An ad blitz doesn’t matter if your product is junk. Make something that isn’t garbage if you want to retain people, people want good products.

I think we all thought that tbh. Intel let their hubris get them and this is the result.

They don’t have innovation anymore, I don’t know what they’re doing and I don’t think they do either.

I wish AMD would catch up in the GPU side of things so it wasn’t such a monopoly with NVIDIA but I guess we’ll see, I mean they did knock Intel down eventually so who knows maybe it’s possible.

That would have gone truly horrible if AMD did go bankrupt, that would have been a really dark timeline for all of us.

Apparently their PC rental program is a worse value than illegal loans that are likely mafia-backed.

I think of myself as someone who always wants to know, I want to know the truth, I don’t like not knowing things. Plus, it could help finding out about genetic conditions and things to be on the lookout for, which can definitely be valuable.

I’d still never do one of these tests because of the privacy concerns and because I don’t trust companies with something like this, especially since I have seen so many times where companies have a lax attitude or lax policies or both about security.

This is why so many laptops, including Lenovo laptops, have webcam covers. You could always put a piece of tape over it lol

It’s funny, sad, and kind of true, but to be fair you can create some pretty cool images with AI (think stable-diffusion) even with just mid to high-end consumer hardware.

Because he’s a cute money-cat. He is showing how much money he has.

Hahahahahaha.

Fuck. It’s so fake it makes me feel sick, I hate large corporations, especially ones with monopolies. It’s disgusting.

I don’t even have a “Security and Privacy”, just a “Privacy Settings”, and then in there I don’t see anything about Reset Advertising Id, just something like “Advertising Preferences” that has “Allow Outlook to s hare data to show you more relevant ads”.

I think likely what I would have to do is add a personal email account to outlook, and then pay for a subscription on that, to get it to hide ads for my work email - but I don’t really want to have to add a second email, I just want it for my work email, and then ideally I’d just pay through Play Store or whatever, but they don’t even allow that.

Oh well. Maybe one day I will stop being lazy and find another email client that works well with my work email and has busy hours etc.

Yes, pretty much. It looks the same as regular unread emails except they identify them with “Ad”. It’s distracting and annoying and you can’t remove it.

Personal install from Playstore. I added my work email to Outlook on my personal phone, and I have it ignore notifications entirely outside of working hours. It works pretty great but there’s no way to remove the ads because it’s a work email, and the ads look like unread emails. It’s horrible and I can’t even do anything about it.

I hate that the Outlook Android app has ads that appear like unread emails, and as far as I know you can’t remove them (at least if you’re using a company-provided email).

Directors are known for their valuable and unique skill sets, accountability, transparency, and sense of duty and responsibility. Of course it only makes sense for them to be paid well, duh.

Well, I was planning on looking into RealDebrid over my week off in winter, but I guess that’s done now, damn.

I use Xfce, as do most of my Linux friends, it’s lightweight and simple yet also very customizable.
