Lolita is an (in)famous novel about a man’s obsessive sexual attraction to a prepubescent girl. It’s supposedly well written, but the content is abhorrent.

But then who cranes the bigger crane?

Getting help with Windows now: support forums owned by Microsoft filled with users telling they have the same issue, and AI agents hallucinating solutions.

I feel this to my core.

My work PC uses Windows, and sometimes I have to Google something that is acting up, which takes me to these sorts of threads. It’s always:

OP: I’m having trouble with this app, it doesn’t recognize my default audio device. I’ve tried X, Y, and Z, which did not work.

Jimothy, Certified Windows Expert: Greetings, OP! My name is Jimothy, a Certified Windows Expert and fellow Windows enthusiast! I am sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been having. But don’t worry, I am here to assist. 3 paragraphs later You should try going to the user settings and make sure that “Use default audio device” is checked on. Did this fix your issue?

OP: I don’t see any setting labeled “Use default audio device.”

15 posts follow from other users who are experiencing the same issue, also confirming there is no such setting.

Jimothy, Certified Windows Expert: Greetings again, OP! I am sorry to hear that did not answer your question. According to the app specifications, use of the default audio device is not a supported feature at this time. If you would like to make a suggestion to include this feature in a future release, you may submit a request through the Microsoft Feedback Portal. I will now close this topic to further replies. Thank you!

Ah yes, the crane crane

America collectively peaked in high school

And where do you see yourself in 10 years?

And especially when faced with the difficulty of trying to sue a company in a different country.

But don’t forget the tablespoon of glue to use as a binding agent. No one wants pancakes that get too soggy and soft when drenched with syrup.

It’s…aight. Not as good as VI yet.

It hasn’t received any significant gameplay changing DLC yet, and usually Civ games don’t really come into their own until then.

Going lower to drum up interest for the new one I’m guessing?

Huh, here we have a cleaner brand that looks like some sort of juice or drink mix.

Seems like they should just switch packaging, haha.
