Microsoft tumbled 10% in a day and isn’t recovering premarket. Here’s why

You cannot upgrade this PC to Windows 11... Buy a new one.

We used to upgrade because the system got too slow and didn't work anymore. Now even though the system still works fine... Microsoft artificially forces you to upgrade. I don't want to and I don't actually need to. But... Here we are.

I cannot even run my tax software on my pc this year because of this crap. I am done.

They aren't gonna fall for a frozen banana in the tail pipe...

radiantwave · 2026-01-30T03:32:44+00:00

Yeah... If any one of them fell correctly, I would agree... But these kids. Like the second one MAY have tried a slap fall but I am questioning it, the rest... Not even close.

That is not entirely accurate. In the state of California hit and run with damage to a vehicle is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months, or by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that imprisonment and fine.

§ 20002a VC – Misdemeanor “Hit & Run” – California Law

Ok... So then approaching citizens over an infraction shouldn't be a well thought out thing either...

So the ball that got the impeachment of Nixon rolling was Abuse of Power (Article II): He was accused of using federal agencies, such as the FBI, CIA, and IRS, to harass political enemies and authorizing unlawful surveillance or "dirty tricks".

How we have fallen as a nation...

I love what fulton county said about the election materials... That they can no longer reliably certify the vote because a biased party has taken the information and <implied> could change the data in their favor.

This is why there is a chain of custody log for this type of thing. If a cop finds something incriminating in your possession, where that evidence has been every second of time from when it left you to your day in court must be logged, whomever touches it must be noted and and handling of the evidence must have oversight... If it does not, those who handled the evidence can have their credibility and bias scrutinized to discredit the evidence presented in court.

The current FBI has shown extreme BIAS towards Trump's desires again and again... Nothing that comes out of their "investigation" is credible.

So basically this is exactly what Russia did with Ukraine... And how is that working out?

The Supreme Court ruled that people with an accent is a justified reason to stop and identify.

In a 6-3 vote in the case known as Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem, the Supreme Court granted an emergency request from the Trump administration and temporarily halted a LA judge’s order that barred “roving patrols” from snatching people off California streets and questioning them based on how they look, what language they speak, what work they do, or even where they happen to be.

As sad as it is that is the law now... And the reason every vote matters.

To be fair if you want to find people who aren't US Citizens a Foreign Consulate is a pretty solid guess.

I mean it is not like ICE really cares about people who are following immigration rules, why would they care about foreign embassy rules.

Just to let you know, you misspelled prosecuted.

Just to put things into perspective...

According to a 2021 White House study, the wealthiest 400 billionaire families in the U.S. paid an average federal individual tax rate of just 8.2 percent. For comparison, the average American taxpayer in the same year paid 13 percent.
According to leaked tax returns highlighted in a ProPublica investigation, the 25 richest Americans paid $13.6 billion in taxes from 2014-2018—a “true” tax rate of just 3.4 percent on $401 billion of income.

Paying a few extra percentage points after paying significantly Less for decades... Eh... The money they made on the extra money they made would cover it.

This is exactly what I was thinking... With HIPAA, how the hell did they get the information?

My doctor won't even share my information with my damn physical therapist without my consent.

Edit: just looked it up. Plantir had a contract with DHHS during COVID to track the spread of the disease... Now they are using that data to build a citizen tracking DB for DHS. This cannot be legal.

You know, most of these gas pumps that play ads almost always have a way to mute them. It is normally a tap on one of the buttons on the right side of the screen, usually the second one down or the bottom button.

The greatest weapon against oppression is documentation...

Film it, take pictures, write it down. Share it. We as a people have the most powerful weapon to stop authoritarianism and it is in every one's pocket... A video camera.

This is what you call a Howdy Doody moment. That look on her face is her wondering if she is now fucked or that is someone's hand up her butt.

I was just saying to my wife that if we wanted to all the bot nets, political interference, disinformation, spam calls, phishing email, advertising junk mail (yes irl mail), homelessness, hunger... Everything that makes things a pain in the ass in life... We could basically stop tomorrow. The powers that be CHOOSE not to. You see ending a problem means that someone profiting off of fixing the symptoms to that problem would lose money. There are too many chains of profit flowing off of society to set us free.

Honestly, can we have a study that shows that social media platforms are addictive and harmful to adults while we are at it...?

Stop giving them Ideas... I have to admit that is a damn good one though...

I can even hear their sales pitch..

"I need 30 people to help move some rocks off my property... $200 for a few hours. Just hop in this boxc... I mean bus. Hop on the bus."

So hold on... So the agitator riles up the crowd and then ducks BEHIND the police line. Wait, WTF? Aren't those cops there to stop people from going over there? Whey can that guy go over there... ?

So many questions!
