If you got rid of timezones, you’d still end up creating it in all but name since the vast majority of business will be occurring during daytime hours around the world. For example, an office in Tokyo sending emails to their NYC office at 0800 UTC (currently 0400 EDT in NYC) wouldn’t end up getting answered for at least 3-4 hours when those employees started logging in. In other words, people would still be doing calculations in their heads to know when business hours are in that region, essentially recreating timezones.

Not necessarily. In Teams, it shows the user’s specific hours they work as well as the time difference (this person is 2 hours behind you). All it would need is to remove the time difference and just display the time they work.

A person in Japan would just put in their signature or it would be in the application that they work from 0400 to 1200 while you still work 0800 to 1600 and you’d have your answer.

I imagine they’d have some customers who would flip over that even that it’s the same size portion they wanted to order.

“You ordered the small, but we don’t have small containers.”

“Yeah but it’s not full!!”

Close, but it was “don’t be evil”.

Thanks for the shoutout 😊 glad I could share something helpful today!

For anyone wondering, there are tools out there that will help you debloat Windows 10 and 11 and remove things like these obnoxious ads in the Start Menu. I did this last year on Windows 11 and even after countless updates, the debloating has remained. The tool I used also had an option to permanently “pause” Windows Updates too, but I didn’t choose that for the sake of security updates.

It’s terrible what Microsoft has done to the OS, overall, but for those of us who have to use it (and have control over the computer), we have this as an option to make the experience a little better, at least.

I can’t remember the exact tool I used but I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with this. There are many tools that will do this that are available and can be found by just Googling Windows debloater tool.

On most computers, if you hit F12 in any Office application, it will bring the classic Save As window to bypass this bullshit.

It’s also nice if you ever wonder where a document was recently saved. I hit F12 again to see where it last saved.

I use it all the time at work because this has always been such an ugly, convoluted piece of shit to deal with when I just want to save to my local storage.

Oh wonderful! For all of our users that use VPN, we’re just screwed. Glad we began blocking access from non-Windows computers 😊

I mean it’s enabling Disney to do it, isn’t it?

It’s a luxury service. It’s not a necessity. If it were a necessity, I wouldn’t blame other customers because everyone needs it. But when you keep giving money to a company who keeps raising the price without doing anything to benefit you, you can’t tell me that’s not enabling these anti-consumerist practices.

Going back to the Disney parks, with the price increases, they have actually taken away benefits like no black out dates, forcing members into reservations, and more. And yet people still pay for this…?

Yeah, it is a shame for the rest of us that don’t put up with this and vote with our wallets because it means nothing.

Not surprising when you look at how much they’ve increased their annual park subscription.

And to be honest, I can’t blame them when people keep buying it and they’re still keeping the parks full. I wouldn’t hesitate that they are having a lot of subscribers too and hardly anyone leaves when they increase the price.

Such a shame for the rest of us that don’t want to put up with these price hikes.

The hair is the giveaway for me. Though I may not have noticed it unless I was looking for something.

Those fuckers got away so nicely for having such shitty security practices. They have the nerve to ask me to sign up for a paid subscription every time I log in to check my score with them.

Motherfucker, I don’t even want to use your services for free. I’m required to as long as I have to play the credit game and it’s honestly really unfair you get to stay in business and barely got a slap on the wrist for all the shit you caused for millions of people.

But we’ll still pay just as much as if a human delivered it. Not much point to these when companies keep pulling that crap.

I have a Chromebook and it’s ridiculous how difficult they made it to install another OS.

I eventually did, but I needed to get something to flash a third party boatloader and at first I was told my laptop was not supported.

But getting an actual Linux distro has been so much better than ChomeOS.

*when the FBI/|DOJ/NSA gets their cut of the info.

This whole rapey lingo needs to fucking die already.

No means no, corporations. Not “maybe later”, not “remind me later”…it’s a yes or a no.

Every company does it now and I’m sick to death of it. Even for the free trials like YouTube Premium. I don’t want your fucking shit. Leave me alone.

In common areas like the living room or kitchen, but not in bedrooms and definitely not allowed in bathrooms.

Ask it what happened on June 4, 1989

That seems so backwards. Computers almost are always better at doing math than humans, so how is that proving the visitor is a human??

I had this issue too but I was able to find a setting to enable something about “last app” so it would only open to the last app I had it on, not auto switching to whatever the fuck it wanted to open on start up.

That was so annoying. I hardly use my Xbox anymore but it always defaulted to that for some reason.

Granted, my Samsung TV is, unfortunately, connected to the internet and I keep it updated so it is possible that a new update has enabled this setting for me at some point.
