So tired of keeping like 10 different ethernet dongles, 5 of one model and 5 of another, because half of the new laptops can’t even connect to the internet with the windows install ISO due to lack of drivers.

Welcome back to the Win95/98/SE/XP era. Where everything old is new again.

A clean install will need a USB installer anyhow. So build it with RUFUS and enjoy the lack of a manual bypass.

Except from a civil engineering perspective this makes no sense at all. Bricks are not laid in a single layer like that unless the wall is exceedingly short (serpentine wall as a fence) or unless there is a structural backing like an interior load-bearing non-brick wall.

And most all-brick walls in a structural capacity (meant to carry the weight of a structure) are dual or triple walled, depending on the height of the structure and the load bearing requirements.

RUFUS will build you a Windows installer that automatically bypasses the Microsoft Account requirement.

It also lets you bypass TPM 2.0 and lets you remove a lot of bloatware so it doesn’t even get installed in the first place.

The lower half of this meme is getting old to the point of being a bad joke. No-one does this except normies and people who buy pre-built systems that come with Windows already installed.

I process garlic into a paste with lots of olive oil and a touch of lemon juice to keep it from going fluorescent green too fast.

I do an entire 1Kg bag of garlic at a time. The garlic paste rarely lasts more than a month, and frequently fails to last the month. In fact, when I make Cæsar Salad, using an entire head of Romaine, I usually use a good 4 heaping soup spoons - at least 300ml if not more - in that single salad.

The fun bit is that my stomach has begun bioreacting garlic. I have to restrict my salads to days I don’t head out, least I drop munitions on the general public every minute or three. And not silent ones, either… nooooooo, we’re talking 10-20s long buzz bombs, like the world’s biggest whoopie cushion.

Just pirate it.

I mean, the Supreme Court just legalized copying. Millions of rare and one-of-a-kind books are being bodily destroyed just so they can be scanned in, which is pretty much the same thing.

If AI companies can steal content without repercussions, why not you?

Men are scared women will laugh in their face

An innocen man lost his career, his wife and children, and his home. That’s a little more than “a laugh to the face”.

And she only got caught because she went to the police. The vast majority of accusations are designed to never come even remotely close to anything properly investigative. They’re meant to impart the maximum amount of social and economic destruction with a minimum of accountability - and preferably none at all.

Cherry on top:

As for the good Samaritan, he says the incident has deterred him from helping a young woman ever again.

And a large number of men are learning from the misfortunes of other men, rather than experiencing such pain and destruction personally. This is why “chivalry” is dead. And good riddance.

And she only got caught because she went to the police. Most accusations are only meant to destroy careers, so never come close to anything even remotely investigative. HR washes their hands of the man, (usually) blackballs him in the industry, and never tries to find out anything more beyond the woman’s accusation.

Men are seeing incidents like this, and learning by example before painful experience hammers it home.
