If they were different when new then it likely has to do with what threads were available at the time of production.

YAY!

I’m not saying that I accept their word, which I am apparently failing at conveying. I am a technology director myself and agree that it’s not any effort. I’m just saying that they will lie and charge you money.

What I mean is that if a human has to interact with you, you have to pay for that time. That, at least, would be the justification.

It’s that someone has to do work and they want things to be automated. Everything with a fee is to cover salaries.

What a backwards and projecting take. Keep your pessimistic views to yourself.

Oh this is me. Their house is packed and they keep buying more shit and going on international cruises. We’ll get nothing.

Other side, sure. On the entrance side you might stub your toe.

Noticeable that you seemed to have taken that comment personally, which is odd–not the intention. In any case, it sounds like a repeat of AITH on Reddit where people would post a lot of fiction and pass it off as real.

It’s hilarious the reaction you’re getting. I love this story and someone out there has surely done similar but this is a fiction. I think you’re being downvoted because people really really want it to be true.

Any chance you have a frienemy that is doing shenanigans?

You should still be able to use something like Lynx to browse and search. There’s no reason to block basic functionality except that you can and don’t care.

They seriously hide that shit and move it around so that you can’t find it. Also it gets worse every year.

My guess: the person who returned it put those on.

This is my problem. Account is 16 years old and I have nearly 500k karma.

Sorry, but there is something wrong with someone who goes around the internet talking like that. You’re definitely projecting a need for help.

LOL a quick look at your history shows that you are telling everyone to get help. Very strange. Go ahead and have a block.

It’s unclear why you made that personal, but I guess that’s a you thing.

Someone seems to be intimidated by having to learn how an os works.

If you have a membership, check out Costco. They often have really good prices on this sort of thing.

As someone who has hired lots of CS students, the successful ones tend to:

-Have a public GIT repo where they have all of their personal and class projects publicly available. You put this on your resume and potential employers can browse at leisure.

-Have done a student group like robotics or satellite club.

-Have interned somewhere with a name. Doesn’t matter what the job is, just get that name on your resume. Sadly, what you know and can do is less important than where you interned and overworked or unmotivated hiring managers really need bullet points that they can grab on to and then move on.
