well, there’s that whole thing about buying a game not meaning that you own it, so…

yep, the second episode, Fifteen Million Merits, where the MC is forced to watch aggressive sexual ads or pay to skip in order to just exist in his room in peace

they joined the military. they knew enough about what they were getting into.

how has it helped you?

The only thing I can think of is that it detected you were sleepy when you knew that and had already chosen to continue driving

if you’re not coming across issues with Microsoft products, it’s more than likely that you’re simply not actually using them

if I weren’t so busy, I’d be looking into switching my team to Linux. but at some point it’s going to get bad enough and I’m going to be low enough on work (lol okay not likely) that I’ll be able to properly investigate a transition. Microsoft is the weak point of pretty much every process at our company.

the types of ads that are being blocked are effectively a type of malware
