Just so you can see what I saw:

Very weird. For some reason Boost displays those like the strings I wrote. Looking at this in the web client now, I see ~. Which btw I’m familiar with :) Thanks for the response!

What an absurd and incorrect analogy.

Okay what is this <sub> convention everyone is using and why is it sometimes </sub> ?

Fucking cringe answer

Exactly.

Yes, your inability to make a point makes everyone else terrible.

I don’t know what point you’re making. Just because it’s not a laptop doesn’t mean many companies out there have some $200 limit on computers.

Piefed.social was too, on my end

No specific policy was mentioned. I certainly think Microsoft should be subject to many, many more laws than they are currently, and I wouldn’t mind if they were prevented from circumventing user preference repeatedly. But you don’t even believe that this insanely well known thing happens and that sort of prevents a further conversation anyhow, so yes, cool chat.

There’s a plethora of settings that Microsoft reverts on updates. That’s well known.

No business will pay more than a couple hundred for a PC.

This definitely isn’t true. Every company I’ve worked for has provided fairly expensive laptops. Really curious where you got the idea that businesses are universally so cheap they’d end up spending more long term because they bought absolute trash computers.

Until 6 months from now when they turn it on by default, forcing you to apply a registry hack to disable it after every update from now on.

But that’s only if Microsoft decides to continue consistent behavior going on for decades. Yeah, you’re right. Totally nothing to worry about.

Yeah, you already told me you’re a fanboy who would reject evidence, so I’m not surprised

What is this obsession with clocks recently?

I did, twice

You’re the only user catching downvotes

Disagree to all.

Reading what is on a computer screen is beyond 117.9% of the population

Then I guess there would have been no problem there, since you have to read the screen and then type or copy/paste an explicit statement that is essentially impossible to miss. This was not “warning blah blah blah. OK/Cancel” that could be glossed over.

Also, why are people defending the scumbag for any reason? He was caught manipulating benchmarks after getting paid by a hardware company (forget which company, easy to Google this)
