It enraged casual home users, not techies.

… you do a random select each time.

Is that even possible? I know that computers are not able to make true randomness, and that people are even worse at it. There’s that lava lamp wall that somebody uses, maybe?

Boneappletea is also an excellent term for a similar thing, where the “new” word or phrase makes no sense and is not plausible when used in the same context.

There will certainly be reasonable disagreements about which description is more apt in a given situation. One that comes to mind is Joey Tribbiani’s use and explanation of “a moo point.”

I ran ELIZA on a Timex/Sinclair 2068.

I would expect better from someone with a mod tag. For shame.

“If they win, that is exactly what will happen, and it only takes a majority vote and the signature of the President,” they wrote, pointing to a comment from Harris, who reportedly has said she is “open” to a conversation about increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court.

We absolutely fucking do not.

Desktop background (or other theme stuff) - easiest way is to just reset that to what you want.

The arrow overlay on .lnk files, you could check regedit HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer for a “Shell Icons” key (“subfolder”), which should only be there if it was added manually, but I’d be interested in what it was if it was there.

You could also try rebuilding the icon cache.

I have to think that both of these have something to do with the system looking in the “old” place for the desktop background image and the icon cache, and not finding them there.

I am aware that on a Windows machine, turning on a OneDrive subscription (or at least an E5 license, is where I’m very specifically talking about), certain folders get moved from c:\users\[username] into c:\users\[username]\OneDrive. Then OneDrive syncs those locations up to 365.

If you just open cmd (not as admin), it will put you at c:\users\[username] and then if you just cd desktop … yeah, that’s empy now. dir in c:\users\[username] and I bet you’ll find a OneDrive folder.

Of note, the default user folder paths that get changed are \Attachments \Desktop \Documents \Pictures. \Downloads stays at c:\users\[username]\downloads

Typo, they meant poop spoon.

It’s not. She was not given a middle name at birth. The article explains that:

She chose K as the second initial, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Rowling, and because of the ease of pronunciation of two consecutive letters.

It’s no surprise that an author would engage in some real-life foreshadowing.

Staff at Bloomsbury Publishing suggested that she use two initials rather than her full name, anticipating that young boys – their target audience – would not want to read a book written by a woman.

“Structured” refers to the query language.

My soul is worth more than that, and I don’t even have one.
