  • Man, remember when people used to break into offices to steal the RAM?

    My work experience in around 1995 was spent at a local computer firm.

    At one point a group of men in balaclavas showed up, the boss stopped playing Doom long enough to cover the security camera and hand over a bunch of crumpled banknotes, and I was handed this pile of SIMMs to put in a test rig to make sure they were OK to sell.

    I also had to straighten the pins on used/stolen 486 CPUs, and pretty sure at one point was taken to break into a warehouse. There was certainly nobody else in the whole building, and we loaded the van with a bunch of cheap looking boxes before taking them back to HQ.

    The boss was also banging a girl in my class, which in later years I learned makes him a paedo. Times sure were simpler in 1995.

    Option 1: Admit your UI choices (made mostly to accommodate an all tablet PC future that never arrived) are terrible and redesign the Windows settings screens to display all new and old settings that still work, with search functions.

    Option 2: Spend tens of billions training an AI to find those settings and change them.

    Well done, Microsoft. I knew you’d make the right choice.
