lol first thing I do when getting a computer is wiping the disk and installing Linux.

So far the browsers all seem to be universal apps, and I’d bet they stay that for many years.

My rule of thumb is that an issue isn’t an issue until it affects at least 10% of the fleet. Before then, it’s a fluke and not worth investigating.

I think you had a fluke. Seems like it’s worked for you since then.

Gotcha

Perhaps the download was corrupted? Like maybe the checksum didn’t match. Did it happen a second time or after you did a force refresh?

Apple MDM. You can lock down a computer in all sorts of ways.

If you have a good functioning IT dept, that laptop was fully configured to their specifications long before you got a hold of it and it certainly happens automatically.

I actually don’t think that they are particularly stupid. I think that most people can’t overcome the urge to have and keep for themselves. It’s all very much ape behavior and it pervades all the nasty that humans are capable of.

I’m not saying that people or better or worse. I just think that some let the internal animal out and others keep it in the cage. I do, however, believe that everyone should strive for that.

In my experience and observation, he works best on those who don’t have their own sense of identity because they just picked up whatever mantle was expected of them from society and moved on without a second thought. These people ultimately realize that they and their lives are meaningless and work to fill that void. Someone like Peterson can attempt to fill that empty spot, though ultimately it’ll fail.

I feel that the Elon lovers go through similar when he says something that finally pierces the vail.

Sadly, I am a victim of this same thing. I quite Facebook because family members would bring their friends to attack me on my wall because I happened to post an article they didn’t like. It was constant and daily. I eventually gave up and really don’t ever see those people anymore.

My take is that this has revealed who amongst us is still ruled by their ape nature and who can notice that it’s weird to do that and try not to. Those who use only the monkey brain will fall into these traps every time. It really goes to show you just how primitive our species still is.

The constant reinstalling of windows. I actively resisted it because I wasn’t interested in learning something new. My laziness eventually kicked in and it was easier to learn Linux.

It’s when you one day accidentally bump the table hard and the TV falls on its face. That’s why they are wide—to prevent that.

Edit removed it. What was it?

lol this comment made me subscribe

Sadly, their user base is really every idiot with a cell phone or MacBook and not those of us who do as you suggest.

I’m sorry, but you work with a bunch of morons of they are harassing you about it.

Does NPC mean the same as “low value human”? Asking for a friend.

Also, what a terrible take.

Fortunately there’s so much chatter on this that maybe it won’t be that way.

The only ones who can’t are those who have that SUUUPER special plugin that they need and they won’t look at FF alternatives.

There were people back in the day who thought that the internet was that fancy E on the desktop (internet explorer) and would have their brains melt when trying to explain alternatives. I think that people now have this problem with a fancy G.
