the sources claim that the Start menu is getting a full rewrite in WinUI 3, which will make it 60% more responsive

Oh good, that'll bring it all the way up to a third as responsive as the Windows 7 one was.

Froot Loops has always been that way. Back when I was a kid, they only had three colours - red, orange, and yellow - and I remember being bothered that they had to repeat one of them. Problem got solved when they rolled out green.

the best case scenario is you bought an album and every single song was a banger. and you just don't get that anymore because you have access to everything all the time.

Still happens, you just need to expand past top 40s radio shit

Garage sales! Holy shit garage sales used to be so fucking awesome. As a 12-15 year old I scored so much computer stuff dirt cheap at garage sales, along with books and music. Just about every Saturday in the summer you could see me with a box precariously balanced or a shopping bag hanging from my bike's handlebars.

Nowadays everything worth more than a couple bucks goes up on FB marketplace and Kijiji, and the only stuff anyone puts in a garage sale is actual garbage that the thrift stores wouldn't even put on the shelf.

Yep. They want desperate people.

... but not too desperate; clients might be scared off if the parking lot is full of rusted out 90s econboxes...

Cheeto Benito inadvertently doing more to drive renewables and electric cars than any previous incentives definitely isn't something i had on my bingo card.
