This coming down the line finally got me off of my incredibly lazy ass and forced me to switch a few months ago. It was easy, and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

I'd recommend DeArrow to get rid of this. I've set it to just pull a thumbnail from the middle of the videos, and the titles are community edited to remove the massively clickbaity ones (if the channel is big enough).

It even comes in ReVanced so you can remove them on mobile too.

That would also explain why Aldi in the UK also has these while other stores don't.

I agree and think the main issue with Vista, as you alluded to, was that Microsoft set the minimum specs far too low and gave companies an excuse to add the absolute minimum bargain basement components, then blame Vista for being slow.

However, if they'd increased the minimum requirements those same companies would have a fit and refuse to ship Vista at all.

The only reason I can think of for a double decker tram is for use on a busy route that needs to handle high passenger capacities. How is it then that in this case someone has somehow managed to design something with the most inefficient seating plan possible? It looks like design for designs sake, rather than for practicality or usability and completely unusable for anyone that needs access.

Currently running a desktop on W11 on "unsupported hardware". Even managed to get it onto a 15 year old machine running a first gen i7 920 and not even a hint of a TPM module as an experiment and it worked perfectly fine.

My YouTube alerts come days after the actual video release dates. I'm not even sure how they manage to get it that delayed.

Also the same, but both ears. I think I've had it since I was about 10 after an ear infection and only relatively recently learned not everyone has stupidly high pitched ringing in their ears all the time.

That entirely depends on how well code reviews are managed. I've worked with a "Martin" in the past and we did manage to move to a system where 2+ reviewers were required but it simply got to the point where no one would "rock the boat" because he'd simply brush off every comment made, or call you up to have a long rambling conversation as to why he made the decision he did and how you're wrong and he's right, and given his position in the company you couldn't complain to anyone else about him because he was more valuable to them than you were.

We tried to put more and more blockers in front of him to attempt to encourage him to play nicer, but these were only temporary solutions to the bigger problem of "Martin" himself.

My girlfriend's phone applies patches automatically and puts a notification up suggesting to restart or schedule a restart over night and it just gets ignored. I press the button whenever I see it though.

People don't like being inconvenienced even if there's an option just do do everything over night while charging, and even if everything was automatic and updates were just installed over night I guarantee people would find something to complain about. Unfortunately there's no winning, but I agree that increased security from opt out updates would be beneficial.
