I love that the blueprint to Windows is written in Pascal…   ;^p

godmode(on);

can I have that for myself too? :D

Boy, they got the applesux part right. I hate my 15 pro max with a passion. It’s the biggest lumpo’shitareeny EVER.

Back in the 1990s, a co-worker asserted that there was an Easter egg in the MS Word (IIRC) spell-checker: if you typed “ZZZ” (or something like that), it would suggest “Bill Gates is an a$$hole.” Seemed wildly implausible, but I tried it, and it did just that! A friend at MS said that while every line of code was tagged for authorship, it was probably a fed-up coder who was leaving anyway.

More likely he’ll find huge chunks of code which have no apparent purpose.

I really don’t like the upgrade game they play. Release a new phone every year, charge $1500 and make minor upgrades that no one needs or uses

Next time, leave the ‘godmode’ out of the code. Too many have taken that bit of code to heart…

If it had not been for a Bill Gates handout, Steve Jobs would not have survived. And yes, I cuss at m$windowZ when I use it. Prefer Linux and MacoOS.
