It’s worth considering that a good reason they decided to start invading other countries is because their economy was in the absolute fucking toilet. The interwar period Was nothing but economic failure for Germany, mostly because they had these gigantic sanctions and embargo and reparation payments to deal with. All that war spending didn’t really help that much.

No, I actually worked for Microsoft. I was 15. It was a sort of contract gig for bug hunters, especially if you were able to fix the code at all. Otherwise, you just had access to download it from Microsoft servers and submit feedback.
Back then, these betas were tested by the Microsoft user interface group, maybe that’s where I did contractor work for Longhorn. It was a very long time ago.

Memphis was the code name for Windows 98. The code name for Windows 96 was Nashville.

I was actually part of the beta test group for Windows Nashville. It was an improvement over Windows 95, but Windows 98 really brought home a lot of good UI design improvements that began in Windows Nashville. Sadly, it was so buggy that they delayed for several years and, instead, just released Windows 98 when it was finally ready.
Windows Longhorn was a similar failure a few years later

Public Wi-Fi hotspots are typically unsecured, and if you happen to live in a city that has a lot of Wi-Fi hotspots, it could hop onto one of those networks.

There’s nothing puzzling about it: they lied to themselves until they believe their own lies. If they were capable of any sort of self-introspection or shame, they wouldn’t be the people they are.
And there’s nothing professional about being a pathological liar and propaganda mouthpiece for a fascist administration.

It’s not stupidity that makes these people believe the things they do, it’s a concerted effort at self-delusion. They simply hate the world the way it is (and the people in it) so they invent a fantasy reality in which they can pretend that we all live because they simply refuse to accept the world for what it is and people for who they are.

I always find it. Hilarious when dumb fuck idiots use services like this and then have the gall to complain when they get ass fucked on privacy.
You did this to yourself, and no one should feel bad for you. You don’t like it? Stop using WhatsApp.
Oh, you’re not gonna do that? Then you’d fucking deserve what you get. You dumb stupid piece of shit.

Because an awful lot of people in the United States are racist, bigoted, queerphobic, xenophobic, or some combination of those. Or worse.
