  • Was a computer repair tech until a few months ago. About 6 months ago this older guy brought in his laptop because he had been hacked and they had changed his password. Was able to change the password to something new using some fancy tools but upon getting in all his files were still missing. Turns out OneDrive was on and ALL of his important files were only on OneDrive and not the computer. Well, Microsoft had changed his password when the hackers changed his computer password so he was locked out and Microsoft didn’t believe he owned the account anymore since he didn’t know the password. After weeks of calls he just gave up trying to get his stuff back.

    Fuck OneDrive.



  • It still shows up for me, I’ll post it below for reference.

    The meme is about a controversial topic which has lead to numerous debates lately where “both sides” are extremely sexist to the other. I made an statement, it wasn’t subject of debate (unlike the meme).

    there is no rule that the memes can’t be attached to debates

    Never said that, I actually enjoy a lot of debates born from memes, so that’s not the problem. I clearly said I didn’t see this specific topic appropriate because of the sexist (and sometimes political) nature of it. Debates are only cool when they aren’t meant to divide and create conflict-

    Were you guys outspoken then?

    -which you seem to try to encourage. Nice try, but I’m not changing my mind here, this post doesn’t seem appropriate to me in the slightest. People here expect “haHa [insert funny akward quote]”, not “let’s compare ewoks to fucking rapists”.


  • Debates are only cool when they aren’t meant to divide and create conflict-

    Do you know what debates are? What they are for? How they operate? A debate is always two opposing ideas, they are literally designed to divide and revolve around conflict. If you only like debates that unite and cause harmony then you don’t actually like debates, you like discussions.

    I clearly said I didn’t see this specific topic appropriate because of the sexist (and sometimes political) nature of it.

    A) Yes it’s a debate about sexism and rape culture, of course it’s going to involve sexism.

    B) Everything is politics. People who complain about things “getting too political” just don’t like the politics on display.

    We are literally in a meme community revolving around an allegory for the Vietnam war where the good guys are analogous to the Vietcong. If you think Star Wars is not a place for politics then you don’t understand Star Wars.

    You don’t hear people complain about Apple (anymore) because it’s accepted that you are buying into a walled-garden ecosystem when you buy Apple. That’s kinda its whole thing.

    There are a few issues with Edge on Windows, one being set as the default out of the box, another being it’s inability to be uninstalled, another being it’s the only option when using windows built-on search, and yet another being it’s anything-but-one-click solution depending on the version of Windows in question. In some versions, you have to still go into default apps, find the browser you want, set it as default, click around the popup begging you to try Edge anyway, then go down the list of file extensions and select your browser for all the ones it doesn’t change on its own when you make it the default, some of which may popup again begging you to try Edge first. And when that’s done, you still can’t uninstall it or make it not open when using windows search.

    For a product marketed as the opposite of a walled garden, it really is frustrating. Especially considering older versions of Windows had a built-in browser that could be uninstalled and could set another browser as default with one click from inside the new browser.
