Proof that Apple is full of shit (as if you didn't know already): I just saw this ad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAM2lqbPElU) from Apple. As far as I know, and from some forum posts, Rwanda has ONE Apple dealer in Rwanda. On top of that, they don't even have an app store available for their location.

Spotify's music discovery is almost...anticapitalistic? Probably not the word I'm looking for but consider that the "Discover weekly" playlist often includes covers of popular songs, or music you've not listened to before, including those from "indie" artists
That's it, I'm gonna make nin a full-fledged package....somehow
Music is just wiggly air
Social media is capitalistic in nature

Calling all sys/net admins! What's your best story?
@frickhaditcoming @brandon one of my first tech support issues (before I was an actual paid I.T. person) was at GTE - main HQ, long before Verizon days. Guys new Windows 3.11 computer stopped working. I talked to him, verified the issue. Seems he was used to Macs, and when he first got on Windows he pulled up a list of files in DOS. Then he pulled up a list of files on Windows file manager. "WTF? Why do I have TWO COPIES of everything?" So he deleted one copy.
I did not laugh in his face...

This reminds me of when I use to do dlp. A ticket came in asking why someone wasn't getting their email ans it was a screenshot of the popup saying the email was blocked for sending pii. In the ticket they put that they regularly send an excel sheet with 10s of thousands of social secuirty numbers to a 3rd party so they dont know why it isnt working, so they used their Armstrong email to send it
