Comment Re:Yahoo Plus doing the opposite (Score 1) 70

Yeah, I like how the e-mail they sent out said they're switching to an "industry leading" limit of 20 GB storage. No, the industry leading limit was 1 TB that they previously had, now they're knocking it down by a factor of 50 and telling people it's a Good Thing(tm).

If you're over the limit at the switch you will no longer be able to send or receive e-mail until you get below the limit.

Oh, and want to know how much you're using? Sure, we'll tell you, but only if you switch to the newest (crappy) version of Yahoo Mail with a terrible interface.

... at least one part of DHS purchased such information, and comes after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detailed its own purchase of the data

Our tax dollars paying for this is bad enough, but paying for it multiple times?

I agree with Clinton and Obama... we need an audit of the government to stop this wasteful spending.

And yet, leftists and democrats continue voting for regressive taxes. My city, which is in a major metro area and always votes pretty strongly 'D', also just recently passed a new local sales tax, with 79% voting 'for'. I'm one of the few conservatives, and I voted against this regressive tax.

Comment Windows 11 is the last version of windows... (Score 4, Insightful) 57

... for me.

I only use Windows at work because it's what they use. I just received a new computer Monday with Windows 11 because my old one couldn't be upgraded (ironically, I received the old one when they upgraded from 7 to 10 for the same reason.) This time it's taken me all week to get it configured into a somewhat usable state. I can't stand the tall task bar. It's strange that they want to remove "wasted" space in other areas where it's actually useful (like title bars that clearly delineate where to grab to move the window), while at the same time growing the taskbar to take nearly twice as much screen real estate as it did in 10, despite it working fine there.

I've already told the company that when they roll out windows 12 that will be my sign to retire. I'm not going through this again.
