Just Why Microslop

Windows 11 really went full dystopian with the bloatware. While Linux and macOS users are just vibing with their clean systems, Win11 users need to break out the nuclear arsenal just to uninstall Candy Crush. OpenShell to get a functional Start menu back, WinHawk to patch the OS because Microsoft won't, Winaero Tweaker to disable telemetry they definitely promised wasn't there, and Chris Titus Tools to nuke the entire marketing department's fever dreams from orbit. It's like needing a hazmat suit to take out the trash. The best part? All these tools exist because Microsoft decided users asking for basic control over their own computers was "too much to ask."

Basically at midnight at the end of 1927, the clocks went back 5 minutes and 52 seconds. So "1927-12-31 23:54:08" actually happened twice, and it looks like Java is parsing it as the later possible instant for that local datetime - hence the Just another episode in the often weird and wonderful world of time zones. rebuilt with version 20132 01 1.98. The original question would no ionger demonstrate quite the same behaviour. In 2013a, the result would be 358 seconds, with a transition time of 23-54-03 instead of 23:54:08 I only noticed this because I'm collecting questions like this in Noda Time, in the form of unit tests... The test has now been changed, but it just goes to show - not even historical data is safe In TZDB 2014f, the time of the change has moved to 1900-12-31, and it's now a mere 343 second change (so the time between t and t1 IS 344 seconds, it vou see what I mean). To answer a question around a transition at 1900... it looks like the Java time zone implementation treats all time zones as simply being in their standard time for any instant before the start of 1900 UTC: public class Test public static void main(String args) throws Exception Long for (String id : TimeZone getAvailableIDs) Time?one Zone TimeZone.getTimeZone (id); zone. getraworset zone.gecurtsetstart Sustem.out.println(id); The code above produces no output on my Windows machine. So any time zone which has any offset other than its standard one at the start of 1900 will count that as a transition. 1ZDB itself has some data going back earlier than that, and doesn't rely on any idea of a "fixed standard time (which is what getawOffset assumes to be a valid concept) so other libraries need t introduce this artiticial transition edited Mar 27. 2023 at 19:45 9 54 72 newered lul 27. 2011 at 8:31 Jon Skeet 1.4m 873 49186 4 Our is it still accurate?

Ever been forced into "pair programming" by a manager who has no idea what coding actually involves? Yeah, that's not collaboration—that's just having five people breathing down your neck while Windows decides it's the perfect time for an update. The poor dev is just trying to code with an audience of managers expecting miracles while the system is literally unusable. And the best part? Someone's already mentally writing your obituary when you inevitably fail to "fix bug" during this corporate theater of the absurd. Pair programming works great in theory. In practice? It's just another word for "public execution by keyboard."

THE ABSOLUTE VIOLATION OF WATCHING YOUR CURSOR MOVE WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT! 😱 There you are, innocently sipping coffee, when suddenly—YOUR MOUSE IS POSSESSED! That IT person is now navigating your digital kingdom, opening folders you forgot existed, seeing your questionable file naming system, and probably judging your 37 browser tabs. It's like someone walking into your house and rearranging your furniture while you just stand there, powerless, watching the digital intimacy unfold. The ultimate surrender of control!

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.

Look at this system monitor showing 199 YEARS of uptime! The classic "user reports impossible technical data" syndrome strikes again. Either this machine has been running since the 1820s (pre-electricity era, impressive!), or someone doesn't understand that uptime is measured in days:hours:minutes:seconds. But sure, go ahead and tell me about your 217,009 handles while running Chrome and IE simultaneously. Next they'll report their CPU temperature is -459°F because "it feels really cool."
