Gross “We did it knowing nobody was going to prosecute us because Trump and that’s what bribes are for” reasons.

Nobody else will talk to him.

Innovation?

That’s just code for “Find a way to fuck consumers out of their money without actually giving them anything.”

Eff Bain. They say whatever suits the moment. They did over a company I used to work for. The company went bankrupt and laid off employees.

I had to look it up, no clue what “destination Saturn” was. I picked up all the series games individually.

ITT: who the fuck brings their phone in the shower?

And they’re right.

I just rebuilt two older systems and installed my optical drives in them. One linux box and one Win 7. It’s honestly great having them back. I’ve started moving some DVD’s and CDs to backup. It was surprising how much better quality a decent bitrate rip of a CD is compared to music streaming services.

Hah, I can’t blieve I’d have to use AI to get rid of AI results.

Edit: OMG. It actually pretty much worked. Holy shit. Can’t click through the pages of results, though.

Same list of links?

Since when?

It used to give you what it thought was the most relevant based on the terms placed in the search field. It was excellent.

Now it gives you: AI, youtube, sponsored links, ad links, shopping links, SEO garbage, social media links, and out of all of these there’s a good chunk that have only tangential relevance to your search at best, and then MAYBE you might get a link to a site that presents the information you seek.

Sometimes google search returns nothing at all.

Same list of garbage.

Today I searched for a CD ISO filename on Google. Just the first part of the ISO name. I knew it was an ISO for Win 7, just not which one. I wanted to find a site that had the ISOs in an archival listing so I knew which version it was.

Google gave me zero results except AI telling me what I already knew. It’s a filename.

Zero.

Google is garbage. Google search is dead.

Remember that time the conservatives lost their shit when Obama “saluted” with a coffee cup?

Where’s that outrage now?

I honestly DGAF about the employees, I do care about the internal documents indicating what they’re collecting on innocent parties and sitting on regarding the rich and dirty ones.

Did it sell out to actual individuals or did scalpers buy up a bunch?
