TBH all the models were quite good. Never had one that wasn’t solidly built. I think the Bekant was the best but also likely their most expensive.

I don’t even know what they were trying to do with the exit dungeon bump of 5s. Like why? Just to irritate everyone for no real reason in particular.

I did task rabbit for a while a few years back and put together a fair number of IKEA ones. They aren’t the cheapest but damned if they aren’t solid af.

Welcome to “windows as a service”. At this point Windows is basically like a freemium app.

Yeah no shit lol. On my last job which gave you about as much power as a 3 year old, I got real good with making it look like I was doing work.

Most businesses think “process” is critical but all process did was make me do 90% bullshit and 10% real work.

I could have done my last job in 2 days if it was just me doing things.

The problem is most of the idiots in charge think if we moved to a 4 day work week we’d do the work of 3 days.

I for one hope the next generations don’t die behind a desk while the guy you work for is off on a yacht living life like it was 1999.

I think any smart run company left Twitter the moment Elon took over (in his own eclectic way carrying a kitchen sink).

Just one, one drop in a sea of lunacy and megalomania. But that’s Elon. Now if this guy took over a company that directly impacted your profits, what would you do?

The real sad thing is that even if he is the Yahoo to Tumblr, it won’t impact him one iota. He’ll still be rich as all creation and people will still fawn over him and listen to what he has to say.

You don’t sound like you weren't around the Windows Vista/Longhorn development days when they promised a successor to NTFS and then over the course of the next couple of years, would bail on that (and nearly every other promise made).

WinFS: https://www.zdnet.com/article/bill-gates-biggest-microsoft-product-regret-winfs/

And FWIW, they are developing ReFS, which looks like it will finally supplant NTFS, but given MS’ business model, don’t expect NTFS to ever really disappear.

Funny how no one ever considers this. It’s like they think some 12 year old can one day on a whim go to their doctor and ask for a sex change and they’ll start them on meds that day like hey I didn’t see my kid for the afternoon and now he’s got breasts what the hell!
