I’m not the kind who give a fuck about what other people usually do unless it directly affect me but…

I can’t believe people buy cheap trash that would be sold on Temu.

But here we are, people buy cheap ass trash off Temu. If China started picking through the trash we shipped them and sold it back to us on a site like Temu, something tells me people would still buy it.

I installed the app, did initial setup, then forced it to never update, shut off internet access, and disabled notifications. Still seeing the discount nearly 3 years later.

In the last 6 months:

• One Drive reinstalled and turned back on on my personal & work computer multiple times.
• AI Co-pilot added to my machine and enabled “so you can start using it now!” with an obtrusive pinned shortcut on my start bar, to both of the same machines but at different time intervals. Uninstalling is virtually impossible and requires registry mods to 'remove" it. Not even a powers he’ll command can remove it.

I don’t want, or need, this add-on garbage.

MS PowerToys has a Search feature that works like Mac Finder called PowerToys Run… And it works as you’d expect it. I’ve largely started using that over the standard windows search, and the difference is hitting win + space (default: alt + space) instead of win before typing my search.

Surprise! You’ve been acquired by Amazon!

1. OP mentioned this also happened outside in the parking lot and was implying active blocking.

2. There’s ways for stores to work with telecoms to get service broadcast inside the warehouse/building as well to get around the natural passive blocking from the building materials.

I was well aware of the difference between active and passive blocking.

This is more likely a coverage issue than Walmart illegally blocking wireless signals (per to FCC regulations).

Report the coverage issue to Verizon and your local Walmart. Both of which will want to increase coverage of where people are gathering. This is because if bad coverage areas are in places where people gather this will cause affected people to switch services or stop going to those gathering areas if there’s alternatives.

Do one of the following:

1. Tell your mother you’re not comfortable hosting that type of content as a non-believer.
2. Lie and hand back the propaganda movies and say you couldn’t rip them to some unknown rip protecting they use and there’s not enough resources online to figure it out.
3. Host the content and let your mother liver her life and don’t say anything.

I’d personally use option 1, but you do you.

There’s one feature that win11 has over win10 that I wish was there, and that’s the default layout manager is superior to windows 10’s, and less fidgety and better hotkeys than what’s offered with Power Toys. Especially vertical monitor support, which win10s layout manager never got an update for. And as a Tie-Fighter monitor setup user (4k portrait, WQHD landscape, 4k portrait) having an effective layout manager is crucial.

However, there’s 3rdParty layout managers that are even better than the win11 implementation. Butt to be able to get the default support of an effective layout manager is quite nice.

That said, that’s the only feature I really like aside from some nominal improvements/optimizations to background systems (network stack, Bluetooth management, “game mode”) and services. That’s not enough for me to transition when there’s so many other things that were done to make it a worse experince.

I’m excited to transition my personal desktop to PopOS once win10 reaches EoL. Maybe Valve will drop their latest SteamOS in time for the Win10 EoL hoping to attract all those gamers on non-TPM 2.0 supported systems that are still great gaming rigs. I know I’d at least give it a go.

This is some serious r/iamverysmart over simplicity. Nothing I said was shame mate.

I like living without stinking to high hell, having teeth that aren’t rotting and infected, and not being covered in rashes and fungal growth because I am maintaining personal hygiene.

I love having friends. They bring me so much joy, happiness, shared interests, and introducing me to activities I enjoy.

Listening and not being constantly stuck in my mind allows me to build my knowledge and wisdom instead of some neckbeard elitist iamverysmart intern hellion.

I don’t mask anymore, but I’m also not going to be some shitstain that believes they’re the next “great” just because I am not nerutypical and have a false belief that the greats are-just-like-me because I’m neurodivergent.

Some of that “weak stuff” includes things like:

• Basic Hygine.
• Maintain relationships you care about but struggle with.
• Focusing on a conversation that is interesting or has valuable information you need but drift off after 30 seconds because you notice something in the background, a misplaced hair on their face, or your brain over corrects and you get stuck in the “must focus” internal mantra.
• Remembering to eat instead of hyper focusing on a project and time blindness kicks in and it 14 hours later.
• So-man-other-things.

ADHD is a fucking struggle mate. And your advice is oblivious to the realities of the struggles and life.

Nah, I don’t even want the results where people are talking about the cesspit.

Add -twitter to your search queries.

Thanks for proving my… What were we just talking about?

This is probabaly largely due to the dosage.

Back in the 70s & 80s kids were, on-average, given 30mg instant release of Ritalin a day to start. These days they’ve cut that starting dose down to 5mg 2x a day for IR and the long acting is 10-20 once a day depending on the child’s weight.

Dosage back then was also determined by severity of “undesired” symptoms instead of other factors like body mass and how well a lower starting dose is performing.

ADHD is the worst at this.

A disorder that makes it hard to have cognitive function & execution has you required to do the following:

1. Remember that you have the disorder.
2. Remember that you can get treatment for it.
3. Find a doctor/NP that specializes in ADHD or cognitive disorders.
4. Schedule an appointment.
5. Go to the appointment and go through the rigmarole of getting a new RX.
6. (Current Market) Call around to pharmacies to find one that has your RX in stock and hope your medical insurance doesn’t reject it or prescribe you something else because you don’t have patient history with just Adderall yet and have to repeat this step because this pharmacy only had the other RX available.
7. Go pick up your RX.
8. Repeat 4-8 monthly since ADHD meds are tightly regulated and you can only get a 30-day supply without auto-refills.

Yeah… We’re completely setup for success.

What meds, instant/extended release, and what dosage?

I’m on Adderall XR 15mg and after an initial “holy fuck” phase for a couple weeks it’s tapered off into a nice rhythm. Shit isn’t perfect, but I’m able to get up and get shit done. However, I also have the “I’m not hungry because of Adderall thing. And the thought of eating right now disgusts me.”. Which helps with the ADHD snack binges I’ve struggled with. So I’ll take that over the upset/queasy stomach feeling I had with a non-stimulant med I took for a few months a couple years back

If I wind up skipping a day I’m usually fine and don’t feel any negative impacts. However, I also drink a shit ton of coffee (typically black) so that could be helping curb any withdraw sysmtpoms.

Yeah, composite & RCA are synonymous with eachother. IIRC it’s the difference between the connector name & cable name similar to rj-4 connector l/port vs cat-# cables.
