Shit, are you telling me i was born on cocaine day?

You can also always see your nose!

yeah. they brew coffee in huge vats, probably using steaming hot water, then freeze dry it and grind it up to make instant coffee. it just tastes like shit.

I just read the other day that at least one motheboard manufacturer is bringing back AM4 since DDR4 is getting cheaper than DDR5, even with the “this isn’t even manufactured anymore” price markup. That’s only even possible because of how much long-term support AMD gave that socket.

also look on the bright side… at least they haven’t given Clippy sentience yet!

granted, but now your username is “gouthaver87”

frfr. bill gates must be rolling over in his grave.

I “early adopted” Win 11 when the Ryzen 5600X came out (late 2020 i think?) and it was objectively better at release. All MS had to do was fix the start button and then not fuck with it and I’m sure there would have been way less hatorade flowing.

Or is it Daniel Wood?

Daaaamn. The closest thing I could think of was my friend’s 96 (98? Whenever the EK body started) Honda civic that had the factory alarm and remote locks in the radio. He ended up splicing some wires and shoving the factory radio into his glove box or something to get around it.

How long until they start putting some kind of DRM in cars that prevents you from just installing an aftermarket android auto head unit?

This is my favorite response in the entire thread so far.

Depends on the state, apparently. There’s no codified federal definition for what constitutes a “milkshake”. As opposed to something like ice cream which is very much codified at a federal level.

I posted a link further down, but apparently national chains do this is to avoid dealing with state regulations. “Its not a milkshake, its a Blizzard!”

The definition has changed throughout the years, hopefully we can all at least agree on that. Some early “shakes” had no milk whatsoever! I didn’t know this either, but apparently the US has no legal definition of what constitutes a milkshake, leaving it up to the individual states to decide.

I also found this little snippet particularly interesting for this conversation:

As an ice cream drink, the 20th-century milkshake’s only serious contenders have been its legions of imitators. United States federal code defines ice cream down to the amount of air it may contain, but is silent on milkshakes, leaving their parameters to states. For restaurants with regional or national reach, the simplest way to sidestep dozens of states’ conflicting milkshake definitions within their territories is not to sell milkshakes. Many, instead, offer “shakes” or milkshake-adjacent frozen dessert drinks with branded names that suggest creamy coldness, but avoid the legal entanglements of calling them “milkshakes.”

This is why you end up with Blizzards and Frosties apparently!

I just try to make more good decisions then bad.

This is the only long-term sustainable answer.

Been saving up styrofoam all year. For arts and crafts, of course!

Don’t forget eating almost exclusively fast food so that nobody can poison your meals.

Might have some milk, but when I went overseas a milk shake was literally milk with crushed ice blended intop a drink.

Blended ice cream is a milkshake in the USA. I didn’t know it was weird until I ordered a milkshake in Australia.

I’m talking more like the Windows ME/XP days to be honest. But too many to count. It’s more that actually useful features that used to be fairly standard (like 7-segment status displays and speakers) are effectively being gated behind $500+ motherboards to make them more attractive. A board that would have come with alphanumeric status codes now is lucky to ship with a couple LEDs that just indicate where a problem is at, not what the specific problem is.
