Samsung’s statement said that it wasn’t their fault and that external factors were solely responsible for this happening. What external factors would cause this?

Same here. 😬

I really feel for them.

Haha! I’m the EXACT same way. I’m glad I’m not alone. I feel for you!

I’m glad you’re around, Alyaza! I’m bummed that cohost is shutting down, too, but I’m not surprised. Your website looks good, I like it!

My week has been pretty shitty, as usual. I’m really sick of this awful, useless brain and body I’m stuck with and the horrible, unhealthy environment I’m stuck in. I wish humane euthanization was an option. But, it’s not. I don’t want some poor, innocent person to have to find a body and deal with the trauma of it; that wouldn’t be fair to them. So I’m stuck. Life is hell and I’m tired. Tired of being useless and miserable and broken. Bleh. There’s so much more I want to get out, but my poo brain won’t turn it into words.

I wish the world was better and so many undeserving people weren’t suffering. I hope things get better for everyone here who are having difficult times and I wish I was able to respond to everyone directly.

I’m so sorry you’re having such a difficult time. I wish I could fix it for you! I hope your brain eases up on you soon and things improve for you ASAP.

I feel like there’s a lot more I want to say, but my brain is a turd and I can’t find the words. I really, really feel for you and you’re not alone, although I know it doesn’t make it suck any less. You deserve better. I hope you’re doing your best to be kind and understanding to yourself as you would with a beloved friend (but goodness I know how difficult that is/easier said than done!) 💖💖💖

The food bank gave us a bag of bulk bin pistachios and I’ve been wondering what to do with them (other than just eat them alone) since I’ve never bought them before. I’ll have to give that a shot! They gave us some dried cherries, too; I’m curious if they would be good in the oatmeal with the pistachios, maybe? Thank you for the ideas. :)

Not enough, I can tell you that! We need more Danny Devitos.

Composting is always an option!

Ooh, this looks like it could be nice. Thanks for mentioning it!

Damn. Thank you for sharing this here, Alyaza!

Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.

That…makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.

I’d guess a propane tank. I don’t have any experience with forklifts, but I know there are lots of propane powered ones (in addition to the electric ones)

Lots of Ugly Kid Joe! Especially their newer stuff from after they got back together. Soooo goooood!

Once again I find myself thinking, “Dammit, Google!”

Thank you very much for the text summary, I really appreciate it :)

I believe it’s a fantasy/for funsies mock-up of what the gaming store/launcher application Steam maybe could have looked like if it was done in a style similar to Windows 7’s styling and other computer applications and websites during that era. Looks like maybe MySpace and Windows Live Messenger may have been some inspiration

I hope that helps. I may be leaving stuff out or wording things oddly since I’m pretty brain foggy due to health issues, but no one had answered ya (that I can see) and I wanted to try to help ya out 😅

You’re my favorite customer!

As the WOATest WOAT, I’ve got the other end on lock! We’re killing it, buddy!

Ha!

Just in case it makes you feel any better: I’m a native English speaker who always aced the reading comprehension tests back in school, and I read it the exact same way. Lol! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. :)

Of course you do.
