I do have a work PC, so a different PC altogether.

Plus, it's connected to a different router, so that personal HW is on one network && the work-related HW is on a separate one.

It was costly, though, as I needed to purchase the extra hardware.

But regardless of how one does the separation, it is recommended.

I've heard whimsical has some interesting definition.

Yeah... because I've always been confused how to properly eat a sausage.

/s

Jokes aside, I've switched from boiling to frying them.

They go well w/ mustard, as well as white borscht.

@Lensflare Yup. That's their current idea of notifications.

> 'useless facts are not wise. they're not helpful.'

Yup. Personally I consider most of things under that term as garbage info.

My brain is already filled w/ too much of that thing. As such I'm very selective regarding what I consider worth remembering.

@YourMom Yup. Looks like the notifications have been bastardized.

The idea was so that you would get info on the important stuff.

But now _everything_ is important, according to some. Even the number of views...

@YourMom The views of that pic must be like facebook's friends - the more you have, the more you are powerful.

Soon, you'll be battling that profile of yours.

Seriously, though - yeah. That's just idiotic, pushing notifs for such insignificant thing.

Welcome to the new && exciting doctorRant...

...drRant...

...dR.

Cool.

Well, perhaps in time you'll finally get assigned Dr House to your case...

...or someone equally knowledgeable.

It's nice when _other_ people know better what you need than you do yourself, right?

@YourMom I bet there's an 'X' on the back of that shirt.

@BordedDev Good. Now, let's wait && see what their reply is.

So... have you saved the world, yet?

@BordedDev So... the same day Steve Jobs gets resurrected, huh?

We'll be walking on streets paved w/ windows, we'll have penguins instead of humans, && the main nutrition will be Apples.

@BugsBuggy One I've never used, yet. Plus the info the survey wants is too personal, even if those are just nickname && later on - e-mail.

Yup. Interviews in recent years have gotten worse.

@AlgoRythm I'd say the problem is on both sides.

Windows is the best solution for my needs, so can't complain that much.

Things do work as intended for the most part.

Finally updated Windows 11 23H2 to 24H2.

...fucking hell, these people.

Some people just take the ads too seriously.

They're meant to inform you about some product && possibly entice you to buy it.

Pretty people, especially women, seem to be raise sales.

Also this:

Hell, now you're stuck w/ 'what might've been'.

Anyway, reminded me of this: https://youtube.com/shorts/... .

Obviously I have no idea why she's no longer working there, so can't actually weigh in on that.

Too paranoid to fill that in.

@YourMom Hmm... That actual chicks on a frying pan joke was so prominent in my mind, that only know I see you were referencing the actual lass from the commercial.

Yeah - used to be the case that pretty people would be seen in ads.

Apparently she's !( woke || inclusive ) enough for some.

@YourMom For me? Nah. For others?

Who cares?

@YourMom Then you're probably looking for those teeny tiny chickens getting cozy on a stove.

/ jk

/* Yes... those chicks are yellow, oh well... close enough. */

@YourMom Gotta catch 'em all, eh?

/jk

But really, I don't mind. Unmoderated is fine, especially w/ all the PC BS getting worse w/ each year. Seems like anyone is offended by everything these days. Like that jeans commercial getting flak because it's 'nazi propaganda'.

Hell.

@Lensflare > 'ever heard of the butterfly effect?'

Sure have. Great movie...

...all three of them, IIRC.

@YourMom Dead bald eagles?

Damn it. They don't have to die. They don't have to be bald. There's hope. 'Just For Eagles'. We need to spread awareness so that _they_ know.

@whimsical Ditto. I am proud of my work. I'm also responsible for my work.

I let others fix their shit.

...sometimes I even leave them a comment that they made a mistake.

...but I don't fix that for them.

@YourMom Hmm... wouldn't a dildo be against the dR Rules?

https://devrant.com/rules .

The sole reason I pixelated the hell out of my screenshots in one of the other rants I can't find, for the moment.

That said, don't mind me. Dildos don't offend me.

...made the comic even funnier.

Happy BD. Also, looks like a Chucky, props.

...next comes the bride.

@BordedDev Yup. Same for Android && iOS.

One of the issues revolved around PM's: 'why my emoji on iOS look different on your Android?'

Had to dig deep to find info about the support per platform, per OS version, etc.

Roughly at the same time I learned about this little fella: �.

We used that one for a lot of unsupported emoji, especially the Kindle Fire 2nd gen.
