Annoying For Parsing

The ultimate betrayal isn't cheating—it's actually paying for WinRAR. After years of clicking "maybe later" on that purchase prompt, someone finally cracked and spent $29 on software that's been essentially free since the dawn of computing. It's like finding out your partner has been secretly using Internet Explorer or still believes semicolons are optional in JavaScript. The relationship may never recover from this financial infidelity. Trust shattered faster than a poorly written recursive function.

Microsoft's email about Windows 10 end-of-support is basically the corporate equivalent of the Titanic's band playing while the ship sinks. "Your PC will continue to work, but support will be discontinued" is tech speak for "enjoy your future security vulnerabilities, we'll be over here selling Windows 11." The meme perfectly captures that sinking feeling when you realize your perfectly functional OS is being marched toward the digital graveyard while Microsoft plays a somber farewell tune. At least they're giving us 6 months to rearrange the deck chairs.

The eternal dance between WinRAR and its users! For decades, WinRAR has politely asked users to purchase a license after the 40-day trial expires... and for decades, users have masterfully ignored that request while continuing to extract files without missing a beat. The "Ok" button might as well be labeled "Remind me for the next 15 years." It's the longest-running subscription service that nobody actually subscribes to. The digital equivalent of saying "I'll think about it" to a street vendor and then walking away forever.

The corporate world's dirty little secret: why learn fancy languages when Excel macros will make you the office wizard? Non-IT folks don't care about your elegant Python algorithms—they just want their spreadsheets to stop crashing. VBA might be the programming equivalent of using a hammer to screw in a nail, but damn if it doesn't get you immediate results while the "real programmers" are still setting up their development environments. SQL queries in Access might make database engineers cry, but nothing says job security like being the only person who can make the ancient accounting system spit out quarterly reports.

Content Employee claims she can't use Microsoft Windows for "Religious Reasons". gets IT to provide laptop with Linux. rAskHR Posted by u-puppy-guppy- 19 hours ago 6 Policy Procedures UPDATEGA Employee claims she can't use Microsoft Windows for "Religious Reasons" Original Post UPDATE: After many meetings yesterday with management, HR, legal, and IT we decided to give her a shot. IT is working to come up with a configuration for her that we will also make available to other employees who want to use it. HR and Legal felt that although she is able to request accommodations for a sincerely held religious belief, this would have been an undue hardship to the company and it would be ok for us to deny her request. But ultimately we decided that she can still fulfill job requirements without Windows! That's pretty much it. Thank you for all the helpful advice Reddit!
