Same. Checking for the update manually gave me an option to install.

The fact we haven’t heard from you since does not bode well. RIP Tony.

mine was available but I had to ask for the update, so far (less than 24h) it’s doing fine no major hiccups, and the media playback embedded to the shortcut controls is very nice, it even eliminates the notification, it’s less cluttered now

OMG, so much this. I thought the whole stupid thing of “don’t read our stuff on the web, read it in email” died a deservedly lonely and unloved death in 2019. But here it is back again, worse than ever.

Yeah, I dunno, I just remember learning a *shitload* of stuff in 2012-2013 from Lifehacker that got me into Linux, building my own PCs, using virtual machines, setting up Raspberry Pi-based VPNs, customizing the terminal on Mac, refitting an old netbook with Chromium etc. Stuff that I was frankly clueless on before…

My favorite part of Win10 is how much its default configuration looks like the hospital screen in idiocracy.

My mind is boggling that you think every Windows app or utility lives in Microsoft’s “Appstore”

I’m over 50. I’ve found it best to disregard all these text etiquette rules. 

Isn’t this exactly why we spend so much time teaching toddlers “use your words” instead of just letting them scream incoherently? There are four different answers indicating at least four different groups of people taking the same emoji in different or slightly different ways.

For me, the final nail in the coffin was when it became acceptable for literally to mean figuratively.

I remember when Lifehacker would teach the audience how to set up a Linux-based media server on an old laptop or something. Stuff that required actual work and thinking and left you with a sense of minor accomplishment. Those days are long gone. 

I too think that is amusing

I don’t think I could if I wanted to!

Not universally. My friends and I use it as “Acknowledged. I have seen this message but have nothing more to contribute to it.”

Claire,

My group’s executive director, a man in his 50's keeps cases of Caprice Sun in the community refrigerator on our floor and unashamedly drinks them during meetings. He is also a picky eater and is the type who will order a cheeseburger at a Mexican or other “ethnic” restaurant.

This is a brutal take.

Hell, I’d appreciate it if some of the people that text me at least try to form a complete thought before sending. There are at least a handful of them that seem to hit enter after every few words because they’re afraid that the message will disappear forever if they don’t send it RIGHT NOW and I get 8 rapid-fire…

Wow.  How far into the B-roll of blog ideas are we by now?

I almost always send single texts with multiple sentences vs separate texts for each sentence. Maybe this makes me an old, but I prefer receiving texts this way as well. I hate hearing my phone sound off three different alerts for what is essentially one text/thought from a friend. I feel the long text with proper…
