    • Use it without OneDrive being bundled
    • Use it without a Microsoft account
    • Use it without ads
    • Use it without Copilot

    Yes, I know there are ways around each of these but the settings are all in different places, Microsoft keeps changing where the settings are, resetting to defaults on OS updates, and at least for trying to use it without a Microsoft account, actively closing loopholes for doing so.

    The “right” wants us to believe, that there is only a single line from right to left through the middle in politics, while in reality it is a multidimensional vector space

  • I loved BB10. It had gesture-based navigation years ahead of its time, the Hub was the best notification system I’ve ever used, and it could run Android apps alongside BB10-native apps. It helped that I liked the form factor of the devices with physical keyboards, too.

    Nowadays can choose between a large, glass rectangle, and an extra-large, glass rectangle in one of two flavours: Apple and Android. It’s no coincidence that Android has become more restrictive in terms of control over your own device, as the competition has dwindled and thinned.

    Don’t credit cards usually give 21 days of interest free grace period? So this is over ~9 days worth of interest? Fuck them for that? Not fuck them for exploiting gambling addiction, but for not giving the consumer their two quarters worth of interest?

    Your username checks out, lol. At 5% APR, 30 days’ worth of interest on this $390 purchase is ~$1.63.

    And if we consider that Nike is acting as a bookmaker in this case, the house edge for a bookmaker is around that amount anyway. Nike is likely to bake this edge into their margin anyway, but I don’t think it’s likely that you’d get a bonus of $1.63 if you win this bet, in this hypothetical.
