I'm finding it is considered a noun. And I don't mind. I am a schadenfreude. No point in trying to hide it.

A new meaning in English, eh?
I hate change!
Inaccurate change!

One perk of my job is unlimited mobile data. I streamed over 100 MB of music on Spotify today. My own personal phone I wouldn't do that because that would eat up the data cap within a few days.

32GB would be a lot or RAM. But is it mighty small for disk storage. My several years old and not SOTA even then laptop has a terabyte disk, 32 times what you have, A lot of Smartphones have 32GB of internal storage.

Its crazy crazy. Two things are crazy. #1 computers keep getting faster. #2 They still don't serve us breakfast.

#1 is true.
#2 Microsoft keeps adding bloatware and slows them down as much if not more than the machines themselves get faster.

Rather than stories of the Anti-Christ and awaiting for this person, perhaps we should have stories of the "Anti-Windows" and pray for this persons arrival?

Asked someone a question...... they took 2 days to respond..... gave a long complicated answer with lots of big words......and you know what...they said nothing...... I think they spent a couple of days with a dictionary and a thesaurus to come up with an impressive sounding answer.... and it sounds impressive....sadly many of those big words do not belong together in a sentence....basically, like I said, it says absolutely nothing....and it would have been easier for them if they just made up words....at least I would have gotten the answer sooner... and it would have been just as useful...... now the only question is do I call them on it... or ignore it completely.

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

In Windows 10 home, the additional Microsoft apps are very small, except for the preloaded Office that expires and has to be removed. What takes up a lot of space is all of the preloaded drivers, the multiple API such as all of the versions of .net, the Fonts, multiple execution environments, multiple scripting languages, plus about 25 Gigs of cruft that I cannot identify.

The way to uninstall things that you do not see in Programs and features

1. Press Win + R to open the Run window, type “installer” and click Enter to open the folder in File Explorer.
2. Add the column “Subject”. Right click the column headers, then click More and select Subject

Another way can go is download Microsoft's "MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta" this too will show you things you cannot see in programs and features or any place else for that matter

Tell them to eschew obfuscation.

I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant

Wish I thought of that. I decided to be slightly more kind than usual and simply tell them that their response seemed a bit Stilted

That quote, often mis-attributed to Alan Greenspan and almost as often to Robert McCloskey, was already well known in the late 1960s. It was a poster available in 'head shops'. Wacky posters was the fad that followed wacky slogans on buttons.

I had thought about responding with this

But I, for some unknown reason, decided to be nice about it......
