I was gonna word it as “flip off” but I think that might’ve been confusing.
My answer would generally be a few times a week for various reasons.
zero times.
Flipped off my Mac two days ago and texted it to a friend who shares my annoyance with forced updates
Mac doesn’t do forced updates. You definitely accepted to pop-up to update.
Yeah I think there was a pop the day before to update now, tonight, to remind me later, or to skip. Just kidding, no skip.
Yup exactly. If you pick the right option, you’ll never have to wait for an update again.
… never?? is this something people do, first time i’m hearing of it
I don’t think I’ve flipped the bird since grade school. It feels really juvenile and awkward for me. I do swear a lot though.
Never. I can control my emotions against an inanimate object.
???
In IT it’s a requirement to flip off machinery that refuses to work. It’s therapeutic and only offends clankers.
It’s not. Source: sys admin lol
More like Cis admin you poser
I proposed a long time ago a mandatory “fuck you” button for all software…
Usually never… I did a tablet last night.
Been doing a network change, have setup multiple vLAN’s and WiFi SSID’s that connect to specific vLAN’s. This tablet is still connected to the same AP and SSID but kept saying it couldn’t authenticate. It was powered down during the switch and rebooted a couple times. Put in the password again and still couldn’t authenticate… after 3 tries finally got pissed, gave the tablet the finger, and walked away.
It was connected and working fine this morning, go figure.
Will probably be pissed at it again when I make a bunch of firewall rule changes today.
I usually just mutter “fuckin’ piece of shit” but sometimes I yell that.
I have to use Windows 11, New Outlook and Excel for work, so… frequently.
At least every week
Every time I have to do something in a Microsoft admin interface at work. Worst software on the planet, fuck SharePoint, fuck Teams, burn it all to the ground.
The sky gets the double middle finger salute 3-4 times a week.
never. Im not much of a middle finger guy.
On phone i have adblock. Middle finger to ATM every time i see ad there. ATM have camera, which is adds value to middle finger.
Rarely, and never to the machine itself, but some asshole who shows up.
I don’t get mad at machines. That’s like getting mad at a fork for not being a spoon.
Never. Why would I do that? It’s an object, and I would not even do that toward a person.
The day we realized there were too many ads on TV… we (my spouse and I) decided it was not a good deal we were offered (paying for a tv and then being forced to watch always more ads) so we got rid of the tv (not breaking it, or anything: we gave it away) and since then we never watched TV again, that was some 26 years ago.
The day I realized I could not trust my (smart)phone to respect my privacy… I stopped using it for anything personal. No social, no games, not even music or ebooks are stored on it: only what I’m required to use for security and finance purpose because I have no alternative. Heck, I barely use it as a phone ;) And certainly not to watch YT: I watch it on my computer using uBO on a Firefox fork (Waterfox), so I never have to watch an ad. I used to be a paid subscriber to YT, but I decided to stop paying the day they became serious about hunting down on ad-blockers… and I started using one myself ;)
