I drove fast through what I thought was just a puddle. Splashed a bunch of water up under my car, and my dashboard looked like that for a week lol.

Just gonna have to swipe right and find out.

If you do, post it!

He could just be on vacation? Someone just pointed out earlier today he hasn’t posted in 2 weeks.

No clue, but it very easily could have come from the one I grew up in.

The_Picard_Maneuver is MIA, so I dove into my ~2014 era meme folder and am posting some golden oldies

It’s okay. I"m just training AI.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you 😆 Also well played.

Read half the title and immediately tabbed to Wikipedia to make sure “is” wasn’t “was”.

I loved the simplicity of it. It did one thing, and did it well enough.

They had an early mobile app (BREW I think), but it was pretty awful.

I think SMS gaining popularity killed it, and they were too early for the “What’s App” era that ultimately killed SMS in a lot of places.

Is this picture…what? AI generated? Not that I’m aware of. I just searched for a stock photo of an old lady knitting and this was one of the results. Just grabbed it and added the text.

This is the way lol.

and didn’t even answer their question

TBF, that’s like half the email replies I get when I ask a basic question.

If a coworker doesn’t bother to write the email, I’m not going to bother reading it lol.

It is managed, but I can disable smart features and remove it as an app. But it still pops up constantly (basically like an ad). If you try to do anything from the pop-up, it tells you it needs to be enabled to work. So, it knows it’s disabled but still shoves itself in my face as if I accidentally clicked into 4 different deep settings pages to disable it lol.

I can and do use FF, but I use Chrome for Workspace because … stupid company policy reasons. It works in FF, but the way they have SSO configured, you get logged out every 45 minutes.

Google Workspace (what the company I work for uses for collaboration).

1. I don’t want Gemini/AI. At all.
2. If you disable it, it still pops up constantly.

I know, right? Ballmer was batshit crazy but at least you could squint your eyes and his decisions kind-of made sense (e.g. Windows 8 was a turd, but you could at least see what he was trying to do). Nadella has just shoved in cloud and now AI bullshit since he took over, and no thanks.

Help is on the way. An ambulance will be at your location shortly.

I’ve said that, and meant it, but it was when Teams first came out. At the time, it was just a bare-bones Slack clone with the alternative being the godawful Skype for Business. lol.

All they had to do was just stop making it worse from there.

Wait, seriously? lol. Rocks Chris and Kid are in the same photo, and you thought Chris was who I meant by “Racist Rock”?

Why doesn’t The Rock, the biggest Rock, not simply eat the Racist Rock?

Edit/Bonus: What would you have if they all fell down a hill? The Rolling Stones.
