A story in Doom is like a story in porn: It's expected to be there, but it's not important

I'm sorry, my goal wasn't to be a bother. My initial comment was intended to be friendly and funny - I'm not trying to patronize or be antagonistic. I learned a couple of years ago that I have autism, so I should have learned my lesson by now and stopped trying to be funny; It never pans out the way I mean for it to.

Hope I wasn't too much of a drag on your day, and I hope it gets better for you.

With that said, a genuine question with no jokes: Can you help me understand how 2016 counts as recent, given the context? It was almost a decade ago, and I'm having trouble comprehending how it counts at all as recent since in tech "recent" usually means "in the last 2-3 years" unless you're comparing to something from a much longer time ago like the 90s.

It was a lighthearted jab at calling 8 years ago recent; Not a political statement about Apple or operating systems.

8 years is a ton of time in tech, CPUs from 2016 are ancient. Single-core CPU performance has doubled in Intel's laptop chips since then, and modern laptop CPUs from Intel are often 12-core, versus the top end 2016 MacBook Pro having 4 cores.

Not trying to start any fights, was just poking fun at the choice to call 2016 recent

I can read, and a 2016 MacBook pro is not even a bit recent; It's from 8 years ago :-)

Just a bit of light-hearted leg pulling, nothing to get worked up over

I hate to break it to you friendo, but 8 year old hardware isn't recent. It may still be usable, but that doesn't make it recent. It's ok though grandpa, let's get you back to bed

The dual GPU problem has actually for the most part also been solved; Optimus rarely poses a problem these days

Group policy lets you basically configure anything on any machine in the active directory domain; Installed programs, installed updates, basically any settings, schedules, services, automatically adding (and limiting by users if you want) network devices like printers and storage... It's pretty powerful, and does way more than just filesystem permissions.

I think their point was that some head boards don't go to the floor

I'm already autistic, what's it gonna do, give me a software update?

I like to give my percentages in like 93% prime numbers. It confuses people about 87% of the time.
