Probably the first time they have paid attention to Skype.

Hey, this is Alex Jones, nuance and honestly aren’t allowed /s
I was always more of a dos/win95 and then Linux person but I did appreciate the Apple vibe and what they were trying to do with their ecosystem in terms of usability. The Wintel monopoly was a scourge but you’re right, Steve Jobs was also terrible.
They used to be cooler and their products have always provided a superior experience. They were counter culture in the 80s, 90s and 00s with their bluebox roots, anti-IBM/anti-Wintel marketing, tiny market share and focus on creators and education.
Now that they are successful they are essentially using Microsoft’s old playbook and bullying everyone into using their products. Really makes me sad.
Only a matter of time before they move the goal posts again to protect their monopoly. Tim Cook is a bully.
It sucks, but at least it’s in a centralized location. Back in the INI file days you’d have to set the config in various places. Which, come to think of it, is kind of how things work in Linux.
Related to the OPs problem, do you know if there is a Startup folder in Windows still? Back in the Windows 95 days we could just drag a BAT script to that folder and it would always run on login.
Registry keys are inferior but they do exist. The last time I used Windows I just had to set some magic reg keys and it was easy to make that happen.
If you want that sensory deprivation feeling, you have to control the air temperature as well and keep it in the dark, and it’s larger than a big tub. There is a company that makes a sensory deprivation float tent that will sell you all of the parts and salt. I looked into it a bit after enjoying my local float place. Maintaining the filters, the pH and dealing with the hundreds of pounds of salt seems like more trouble than it’s worth.
The float place near me uses something like 1200 pounds of Epsom salt in a tank that is maybe twice the volume of my bathtub. Then they also regulate the temperature within the tank, both air and water, to be close to normal skin temperature. I’m not sure it’s practical.
Seems entirely reasonable to me, depending on the country it costs them extra to route your calls overseas to another network.
How long did it take for them to turn it off?
“Virtue signaling” is just having morals that other people find out about. Be better.
Not Chernobyl?
Oh wow, you rule.
I installed Windows in a VM for the first time in years just last week. I’ll never use it enough to want to pay $200, this is perfect.
Did you read the post? They said there is no affiliation and minimum info online
We’re number one at saying we’re number one
Yes, both sides bad, but Biden less bad. Making government easy to work with should be the bare minimum. We don’t have to throw them a parade every time they do something sane, they work for us.
To be fair, crypto will never stand a chance against fiat as a means for payments because governments ensure that it’s complicated to tax. However, the underlying blockchain technology remains very interesting to me as a means of getting around middlemen companies.
Yes it does, and wait until you hear about literally every other industry.
I think it would depend on the level of the account. They have that feature for compliance reasons in heavily regulated industries.
