Frankly both of these maps are deceptive (though the top one is albeit more so). The dot gets colored the primary color in that region, and visually makes the Democrats seem way more dominant when it's much more bipartisan. A gradient would make this map better

This is just a theory, I don't have knowledge of the inner-workings of either Linux or Windows (beyond the basics). While Microsoft has been packing tons of telemetry in their OS since Windows 10, I think they fucked up the I/O stack somewhere along the way. Windows used to run well enough on HDDs, but can barely boot now.

This is most easily highlighted by using a disk drive. I was trying to read a DVD a while ago and noticed my whole system was locked up on a very modern system. Just having the drive plugged in would prevent windows from opening anything if already on, or getting past the spinner on boot.

The same wasn't observed on Linux. It took a bit to mount the DVD, but at no point did it lock up my system until it was removed. I used to use CDs and DVDs all the time on XP and 7 without this happening, so I only can suspect that they messed up something with I/O and has gone unnoticed because of their willingness to ignore the issues with the belief they're being caused by telemetry

Got a lot less racist, but definitely more crazy

My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can't wait to send this to him.

Removes the ability to zoom between the lenses. I welcome the change, I've had experiences where I'd want to be at 5x zoom and would accidently flip down to 4.9x and swap lenses.

This is an optional setting in the "pro" tab in Google camera

I know, the joke was there and I had to take it. I wholeheartedly agree with you however

I miss the Moto Z days. Those were some excellent phones and being able to slap an extra battery on the back was amazing. Mods could've gone so much further if they put some more R&D in it

I have and use a Microsoft account. I would always setup my computer offline because I don't want my home folder to be called "myema"~~[email protected]~~

Seriously who thought that was a good idea? Your account literally has your name tied to it, call it that!
