I remember downloading the big stuff at work, because they had a T1, and network security wasn't really a thing yet.

Have you tried explosive diarrhea? You will.

I love my kids, but if I hadn't had them, I'd have a lot more money, and less stress from having not quite enough money and lots of responsibility.

Don't let other people or societal expectations pressure you into the decision either way. Do what you think will work best for you.

Unless I did a really poor job researching it, you cannot change your default SMS/MMS application on an iPhone.

You can use other messaging apps like Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, or AIM. But if you want to use SMS, you have to use iMessage.

Maybe this is US-specific though. Europe often forces Apple to do things they don't do here.

The real reason: Apple intentionally doesn't support the open protocols that send pics and videos to non-Apple devices. These protocols are a decade old and work great. They use a proprietary protocol instead, which they will not share with other phone manufacturers.

What the average iPhone user thinks: Apple is better than Android!

It's pretty dumb.

I'n using Elementary OS right now. It's been my daily driver for several years on a low powered laptop as a Chromebook replacement. I run browser, messaging, and occasionally some light photo or audio editing.

No complaints. Works great. Solid. Looks great. If you have a similar use case, I recommend it. All of the people ITT talking about what's wrong with it have not changed my mind that it's just what I need.

I hear Americans eat babies too. I'm not even sure they are human, right?

I'm sure people get annoyed or ignore you because you're just too truthful, not because you're ridiculous.

I don’t think Windows is seamless either. It’s just what most people are used to.

This. I've never used Windows 11. Apparently, they are removing the Control Panel. If I can't figure out how to fix a problem that comes up, I'm going to have to search for the answer and test out solutions. This is no different from Linux.

I like how on Amazon, the "Rufus" thing always pops up over the stuff I'm trying to read.

"How can I turn off rufus" didn't come up with anything except how to turn it off in the app, not on the website.

I had to use Ublock Origin to select and block it.

Very overstable.

Several years ago, I found a 3.5" floppy in an old desk, so I wrote "(My company's product) Production backup - DO NOT LOSE" on the label, and then left it on the floor in a main hallway of our office.

In my mind, it hopefully made a few people chuckle, but my real dream was that someone picked it up and tried to return it to the development team.
