      MSGID: 1:229/426 E85E5A5D       REPLY: 2:221/1.58@fidonet fa25ee46       On 05 Mar 22 21:31:00, August Abolins said the following to Nick Andre:              AA> If it's the same commercial that I think it is, it also shows        AA> some apparently good-looking people (assumingly smart) using        AA> win11 for "high-speed" collaboration of updating art or        AA> documents. :/ They are depicted as being very happy and        AA> excited!              Yup, and am I ever glad I don't work with millenials.              They are so insufferable. Working to make the company their life's ambition.              They're the type that often send all kinds of nonsense emails after-hours or       want to start "social clubs" in the office for more after-hours nonsense or       think its soooooo awesome that the company rewards its workers with a       foosball table... as opposed to real rewards, like a Christmas bonus.              They truly believe in making "friends" with the people they work with, then       act so surprised when that coworker up and quits, or backstabs them, or steps       over them for a promotion, or takes credit for some stupid project.              They come in every monday yacking about the evils of American capitalism but       yack about how cool the latest Iphone is while on their way to Starbucks while       getting ready to tweet about whatever was streaming on Netflix last night.              They also support such bright ideas as morning exercise/yoga for all staff        prior to work. So you get a workout, and smell like the Netherlands.              Totally insufferable.              AA> My question is, WHY the need for a Win11 commercial in the       AA> first place? Is the market suffering somehow with people        AA> staying with previous OS versions or perhaps trying Linux or        AA> iOS for the first time?              Mac's and Chromebooks actually.              AA> NA> And its 2022 and adding an IP printer is still a       AA> NA> convoluted mess.       AA>        AA> That reminds me of the rigmarole that I went through to connect        AA> an IP printer to my network at the shop. I was really excited        AA> when it did finally work! But that was back with Win7. I'm        AA> surprised that Win11 still doesn't address the IP printer issue        AA> properly!              Its just such a mess. I *swear* the first iteration of Windows 11 prompted to        "Insert the driver disk into the disk drive."              Pretty sure they quietly patched that to just "Specify the location of the       drivers".              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
