Hunger, fatigue, general negative state of mind maybe.

This particular guy was a contract worker who came in for an early lunch, so I assume they’d been working for some hours before they came in.

Generally the blue collar worker dudes and the after church crowd were the meanest with the least tolerance for mistakes.

I worked fast food for 3 years. Literally had a guy throw a burger at me because it was missing cheese.

What’s wrong with drinking from jars?

What do you mean? Quick Google shows that T-Mobile allowed wireless calling back in 2007.

You can create channels for people to join with Steam?

What’s a good alternative that allows easy instant message, voice and video calls, and makes it easy to group my friends by game?

The thing is that there are different target groups here that seem to disconnect. The gamers and tech dudes who want/have all the latest hardware and want to play every game maxed out aren’t the people affected, yet somehow they’re the ones who chime in for these discussions.

My low end thinkpad from 2013 doesn’t need windows on it for any reason, so why bother being offended that it now can’t have a supported version?

Isn’t Edge also chromium?

It does make sense from a payment processing standpoint. It doesn’t make sense to spend more money on creating the transaction than is actually being sent.

As someone who lives in Texas and watches the biggest trucks be driven by the worst drivers on the road, I agree with the extra license bit. I also believe they should only be allowed to park in specifically designated spots, considering how often they don’t fit in a parking spot and block parts of parking lots.

I think the way your commenting is wrong.

This is being reported poorly. This is a voluntary program that is intended for social media brand embassadors, aka, the people who go out and rep a brand. It makes sense to include some language requiring someone prepping your brand to show preferable to it.

Obviously, but we’re talking about a really, really small subset of users that probably would earn Microsoft less than a week of coffee in their corporate office.

People who are technical enough to get around the system requirements to install windows 11 on a system that doesn’t meet the minimum requirements is most likely technical enough to upgrade their own computer.

How does that make any sense? Does Microsoft get a cut of sales for component upgrades?

There aren’t even 2.9billion people in the US.

Anticheat will have to just come from other methods that people will also hate.

Imagine, for example, if they required a form of government issued ID and the account was tied to you specifically. Despite privacy nightmare that it is (plus other issues, especially around globally accessed games), bans would have significantly larger impact if they’re tied to a real-world identity.

That’s actually good context that the article doesn’t mention. Certainly very concerning.

This seems like a run of the mill news attempt at controversy for attention. None of the “controversies” mentioned are particularly egregious. I don’t think Mr beast needs me to defend him but the reactions to this seem way more extreme than the problems themselves.

How many of us know all of our friends and colleagues well ebough to know every dirty secret they have? If one of my friends were a pedophile but kept it well hidden, how am I to be held responsible for their actions when I didn’t know?

An inexperienced production crew doesn’t provide the best working conditions for a reality and stunt show? Color me surprised. Television has had shows that put people in danger for years, even from very experienced crews.

I know just about every one of us likely did or said something that was really, really stupid when we were teens. Turns out teenagers don’t have fully developed brains and don’t make the best decisions. Holding someone accountable for saying something dumb as a child, that they have publically apologized for later, seems like people going out of their way to find fault.

Guess we all missed the joke, sorry fam
