Ultimately everything underneath them is not terribly important as long as it all works. [18:12] Isambard_Prince While Windows generally looks fine, it's not. It's stuffed with spyware, bad code, obsolete code that's bloated, advertising... [18:13] Isambard_Prince So just because the layout works and it runs programs, that doesn't mean it's acceptable. [18:14] Isambard_Prince KDE works much better than the Windows Explorer shell because people who generally care how it works are writing it, and it's not bound to many thousands of mistakes or business decisions from 20-30 years ago that are not relevant anymore and have bits and pieces floating in it for compatibility reasons. [18:14] Isambard_Prince The last time I sat down to use Windows it was Windows 11, and it was terribly slow. Noticeably jittery, even on a fast computer, and the GUI was still a mess. [18:15] Isambard_Prince There are pieces of Windows 2000 still floating around in it, pieces of XP, pieces of 7. [18:15] Isambard_Prince If you know where to look they're still there, still running. [18:15] Isambard_Prince It's like when a landlord goes to rent out an apartment to people on the low income side of town.

[18:20] schestowitz[TR2] right [18:21] schestowitz[TR2] and one apartment [18:21] Isambard_Prince By maintaining cleanliness around the perimeter and getting rid of tenants that don't keep their apartment clean. [18:21] Isambard_Prince If it happens, get an exterminator immediately. [18:21] Isambard_Prince It is an emergency that will spread to the entire building. [18:22] Isambard_Prince Everyone had them at the end. They were crawling on people at night. [18:22] Isambard_Prince There were millions of them. [18:22] Isambard_Prince Every time I opened some cabinet in the kitchen I had to have an electric swatter so I could zap three or four of them that fell out before they could run off. [18:23] Isambard_Prince But you never get rid of them by zapping and spraying. You're just trying to contain it until you can evacuate.

[22:24] Isambard_Prince Companies are using the elimination of the penny as an excuse to round up to the nearest 5 cents even if you're using a card. [22:24] Isambard_Prince Errr [22:24] Isambard_Prince If something has 53 cents on the end of the total and you use a card, shouldn't it be 53 cents? [22:24] Isambard_Prince Not rounded to 55 cents? [22:25] Isambard_Prince So you'll do maybe 5-6 transactions that day and each time it could be rounded up 2-3 cents in case someone was using cash, supposedly. [22:25] MinceR well, here they'd assume you want to pay by cash and say it's 55 forints, but if you pay by card, you'd be charged 53 [22:25] Isambard_Prince And then at the end of the month you've been charged like an extra $5 or so, right? [22:25] Isambard_Prince Even though you weren't even using cash. [22:25] MinceR then again, rounding is to the nearest 5 here, not always up [22:26] Isambard_Prince Some businesses might smell a lawsuit. [22:26] Isambard_Prince McDonalds is saying if it's 3 cents or under they round down. [22:26] Isambard_Prince So they only round up for 4 cents. [22:27] Isambard_Prince Gasoline is still technically sold in fractions of a cent.

[22:27] Isambard_Prince When you see likee $3.29 a gallon, it's actually $3.299 a gallon. [22:28] Isambard_Prince Well, they round to the nearest penny when the pump clicks, right?

[23:15] MinceR sounds like abuse [23:15] Isambard_Prince They figured out how to record the nurses, so the nurses delete the videos when it's time to take the patient to the bathroom. [23:15] Isambard_Prince But the iPad just sez that it didn't fully delete the videos, they'll be in the trash for 30 days. [23:15] Isambard_Prince And they can't figure out how to empty the trash.
