I take it schools aren’t teaching tech literacy. We wouldn’t want the kids to get in the way of our overlord marketing agencies.

Like a Bosch!

Keep this quiet, but VPN to UK and sign up for channel 4. They have commercials, but UK does much funnier commercials than across the pond.

For those who think US Army is above this kind of torture.

Docker is a moderately sized step beyond VM.

I might recommend setting up VMs with something easy like VirtuaBox. When you have that figured out move on to Docker.

If your a casual user VMs are likely sufficient.

I’m not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.

• Jack up rates, yes master.
• Interrupt us with ads, sure go ahead master
• disrupting buying patterns, always you master

My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.

So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?

A few things

• Amazon years their employees like shit. Pay and treat them properly. Our gadget for $20 less than we can get from another store is subsidized by those workers.

• the commercials on Prime video. I specifically pay to watch shows, and not be interrupted and pitched dish soap. That was the deal

• removing the option of prime delivery will mean I will source my options more fairly to local sellers

In the end, I feel less dirty by not having that option. In the long run, will Amazon serve me better? The enshitification of the internet has taught me the answer will be no.

I cancelled my subscription. I’ve haven’t felt this free in a while. I’m no longer a slave to Amazon.

can threads users follow me?

This is the way.

AKA don’t be this guy.

Don’t trust executables on your computer. A Windows VM in a Linux host that you revert to a prior snapshot of you’re really curious.

Wix.com Ltd. (Hebrew: וויקס.קום, romanized: wix.com) is an Israeli software company,

The conflict aside, WIX is a corporation with strong political and theological roots. Even if the technology is good, choosing that platform comes with baggage.

I can completely respect your perspective. Yes I was being short when I made this comment, no offense to the op was intended.

To patronize a service because its good does not imply loyalty.

Apple has a long history of being manipulative and exploitative of their customers. Being loyal to them (from my perspective) is like being loyal to an abusive person. You obey their commands not because of respect, but because you feel an emotional bond to them.

I was getting more Ringo Starr vibes.

reduces my loyalty to the platform

Uh? Wow! Way to show them bastards. ;)

Whoosh

It said it believed that any taxes owed after the audit would be reduced by up to $10bn based on tax laws passed by former President Donald Trump.

Joe did this

Pro tip, tell them you want to end your subscription immediately. Don’t say anything, awkward silence. When they ask an another question to goud you into staying repeat the first statement. If they ask rando questions, silence.

They give up in under a minute. Be polite but obstinate.

After the install. Create admin and user accounts not tied to ms. Use the user account normally, and when you need admin you enter the second account details.

Use Sophia script to clean up all the advert apps bundled with win11.

I wish I could find a script to remove the advert features from edge for when I have to office. Mozilla Firefox is your day to day browser.

Use chocolatey.org to install ur apps. When you do updates, one command can do it all.

Check start-up scripts, and ensure there is nothing that doesn’t need to be there. Teams no, zoom also no.

I was sick, so I could tolerate the presentation which had high-end effects.

A UAV flys through the desert over the Apple building into the center garden, it approaches Tim Cook standing on à lawn. He starts speaking in his mechanical ceo way. A lot more effects like this.

The watch

• new processor with cores dedicated to ml. Monitoring your bio markers for finger traps and other gestures. It also processes voice commands so you don’t need to be tethered to the internet to figure out what your saying.
• a fear based marketing, the presentation opens with shiny people who have been assisted by the watches bio monitoring. Heart attack, hypothermia, car accident, etc. Apple watch is always watching you.
• 18 hrs battery life, so you have to remove it to charge it everyday. So while your sleeping? But put it back on before you wake up so you can snooze by tapping your fingers together. Also if you’re likely to have a heart attack at night, wear the watch so it can wake you up.
• satellite emergency SOS, and road side assist. USA only
• carbon neutral. Recycled metals,…
• features you will use everyday (repeat 15x)
• pro version

The phone

• recycled metal, carbon neutral, cute scene presenting Apples eco foot print to mother nature played by Octavia Spencer
• cameras
• something something USB3, no mention of external displays or using with dock to use as computer
• easily replaceable back glass
• a design that makes it easier to repair
• pro version in titanium

MacBook

• MacBook Air 15

An impressive presentation. Engineering is amazing. Still, your locked into their walled garden. And they can keep you juiced with dopamine as long as you give them money.
