Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

yup, nowadays if you don't add "@r*ddit" to a tech related search in google you'll get 10 seemingly copy pasted results that look like "1. download our drivers updater :))) 2. if you don't want to do that, just give up lol"

Even the Microsoft pages are terrible.

Everything is a bot that gives you four paragraphs of text about how they're a certified Microsoft Windows professional technician, but all they ever do is tell you to run sfc /scannow.

It's terrible for tech searches too; half of those results are copy-pasted from Stack Overflow. Though that goes for DDG as well.
