Plan B for sure. It smells like “Fine, gerrymander CA, we’re gonna rig the shit out of this election anyway. Good luck, byeee!”

“Kyle, every boy pays for kisses. Do you know what I am saying? If you got a girl and she kisses you, sooner or later you’re paying for it. You gotta take her out to lunch, take her to a movie, and then spend time listening to all her stupid problems. Look, look at Stan right there. He’s got to sit there and listen to all her stupid motherf___ing problems 'cause she kisses him. If you ask me, that’s a lot more than the $5 my company charges.”

Last I checked the source of the winget package was github, which is the same on the official website. So I would imagine that updating via Winget is just as vulnerable. The details are super vague.

Edit: Somebody else commented that it was only auto-update that was compromised, and winget would be considered a manual update because it download from their github. So I think winget may be safe.

Dont quote me on that though, the information is still super vague and I am going off of somebody else’s comment.

So less state rights? And more big government? The cornerstone of the Republican party?

Smart Launcher gang checking in. I am also a Nova Launcher refugee, and I found that Smart Launcher had similar features and ease of use.

I’m not saying it’s a valid excuse, and I’m certainly not jumping to defend Microsoft. All I’m saying is the screenshot/post is misleading.

My guess? Because they fired a shitload of engineers and are having the remaining ones pick up the slack with AI vibe coding. They are pushing slop to prod and breaking shit left and right because they need to prove that destroying the world with AI data centers is worth it.

Spoiler altert: it’s not. Having well trained and talented engineers wite the code works better.

Rufus for making the USB, and then Immediately Chris Titus Win Util it to clean up the rest of the trash.

Yes, yes… Just use Linux. I know. But my career is Windows based so driving it at home keeps me dialed in.

I love to shit on Microsoft as much as the next lemming, but this error message is way out of context. This was a bug in the January quality update (quality lol), and has been addressed.

Windows doesn’t require you to sign into the MS store to use notepad or paint.

No, they will shoot the person that tries to help them up.

Real curious about what kind of mental gymnastics the Rittenhouse defenders are doing.

I’ve been using Nova launcher for just as long, and finally got off of it in November. First it was no updates, then whispers of ad injections, and now the ads are actually here.

With that said, I tried Lawnchair, and found it to be clunky, unintuitive, and either lacking the features that I wanted or I couldn’t find them.

I ended up going with Smart Launcher, which has been a fantastic replacement. It’s got everything that Nova Launcher has and more, and it’s very easy to use.

This isn’t my story it was a friend, but I think about it often and it still makes me laugh. It was high school English class and the teacher asked “does anybody know the famous quote from ‘The Elephant Man’?” and without missing a beat my friend put his arm in front of his face like and elephant trunk and made a loud and accurate elephant noise while slowly waving his arm up. Everybody thought it was hilarious except for the teacher who sent him to sit in the hall for the rest of the period. So he’s sitting out there and 5 minutes later the door opens and another kid comes out and my friend is like “what did you do wrong?” and the other kid goes “I couldn’t stop laughing”

Which is fucking great. Gets me every time.

Wait is that true? I would totally eat yogurt if it meant I could enjoy ice cream again.

IT admin here, we certainly do know how to do it, and already have. It’s an appx package, and it’s really not difficult to remove.

I’m not saying that it will make the car stop, but will sure as hell make it harder to get away.

Yeah I’m not an expert, but I’m pretty sure he could have shot the tires? Like. Disable the vehicle, don’t kill the driver. They had plenty of other vehicles around they could have boxed her in with. I’m not saying that boxing her in and ripping her out of her car is okay, but it sure is infinitely better than murder.

Except for AWD. I think the Pacifica does on higher trims, but Christler… Ew. And the Sienna Hybrid comes in AWD, but once again that’s a more expensive/premium trim. In a place like Minnesota, I could see why the Pilot might make more sense. I say this as an owner and huge fan of my Honda Oddessey.

The ones that fantasize about killing did.

Yeah, and why wasn’t Miley Cyrus at the Hanna Montana concert?
