The 3ยฝ" floppy disc icon means he has the most important thing, the thing women crave, the thing that drives all women crazy with lust: a vast and meticulously organised collection of fully working computers and consumer electronics from the 80s and 90s.
Any IT department worth their salt will have solved this problem years ago. It's hard to explain if you've never managed Windows in an enterprise setting but there's a reason that profit-hungry corporations all use Windows. Here's the full process for getting any Windows laptop to work perfectly:
unbox the laptop and turn it on
insert the USB key with the provisioning package
wait about two seconds for Windows to tell you to remove the USB key.
go to lunch
If they have a channel supplier that offers 'white glove' service they don't even need to do that and they can even have brand new laptops drop-shipped to a user at home without ever needing to touch it. And if that laptop fucks up down the line it can just be wiped and as soon as Windows connects to the Internet it can automatically re-enrol itself into the organisation's management system.
Depending on the store TGTT bags can be amazing or... not so much. One store near me will always include fresh fruit, veg, meats, rolls, cans... another will just hand over a bag with like ten kilos of sliced ham in it.
Yeah, it's kinda like how you can go years without hearing any stories about someone winning a medal at the Olympics then suddenly the news is full of stories about people winning Olympic medals. Clearly it's a conspiracy.
I've used Hostpro in the past. The VPS I used was hosted in the Netherlands but they're a Ukrainian company IIRC and they have Kyiv as an option. I recall them being fine, nothing special, and fairly cheap.
This guy reminds me of an asshole I used to work for. The company was called ABC, say, so he set everyone up with ABC-Alice@gmail.com, ABC-Bob@gmail.com, and so on. He got really, really pissed off when ABC-NewStarter wasn't available to the extent that he wrote non-stop emails to the person who registered it, Google, his solicitor, even the police demanding it be relinquished and moaned non-stop that the world wasn't bending to his whim.
I'm not supporting Google - it's annoying that they're revoking a feature - but this is a real XKCD 1150 situation.
I'm from the North of England and we say "aye! t'was onna night most un'nartual, when good folk did pull down the shutters and bring their children reet close and 'uddle themselves away, for they couldn't rightly say if they wus hearing the howling of t'wind, the shrieking orra newborn, or the wailin of the beast, in this very valley [x] years/moons ago" and I think that's beautiful.
Another song by The Killers has the line "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" repeated over and over again with increasing intensity. It's hard to imagine a less meaningful lyric without actually resorting to nonsensicalness.
Headphones. I have my commuting headphones, walking headphones, working headphones, video game headphones, music headphones... I also have two pairs of earphones.
I could get down to two pairs of headphones and one pair of earphones.
The author of the article seems to be jumping through hoops to make Apple sound good and avoid mentioning the crux of the problem: users have to be informed of what tracking they're agreeing to - or denying - and once someone gives/refuses consent you're not allowed to keep badgering them about it, but because Apple's prompt is so fucking vague and generic it fails at the 'informed' point, so the app has to ask again. Apple's prompt isn't about empowering users or respecting GDPR: it's just an interruption that tried to manipulate users into thinking that Apple is on their side.
