10-15 Celsius literally isn’t “freezing” though?

Who is “grooming” the next generation again?

Because they’re a notoriously bad design that is prone to failing on every front that Tesla claimed they were the ‘cutting edge’ on. They’re just BAD. The only way Tesla is going to sell out of their production line is by forcing someone to buy them, and it looks like it’s the US military.

I wouldn’t think the same thing for Ford F150s, but I DEFINITELY would if suddenly we started hearing about police suddenly buying Fisher Price cars after hearing story after story of how they break down and leave toddlers stranded.

I’d imagine the biggest difference is that these employees could actually get fired if they turn theirs off.

You said there was no evidence that anyone would change. I told you my personal story how this IS impacting me and how I’m going to change OS on my next computer, and you… just sarcastically dismissed me?

Did you want to actually contribute to the conversation or just be upset?

Well, mostly. You still need to use Kelvin so you don’t get negative numbers for sciencing, but using them simultaneously for both day-to-day and science is nowhere near as common. Most people just want to know what to wear, and using Celsius loses a lot of the fidelity that Fahrenheit gives. This is after I spent 2 years only looking up the weather in Celsius so that I could get a feel for each degree of difference, and ended up just getting frustrated at how the same degree temperature in Celsius could feel drastically different to me when it’s actually a 2-3 degree difference in Fahrenheit.

Also, FWIW, British people love to use Fahrenheit when it’s over 100 degrees because it ‘feels hotter’ to say that than ‘37’, but they also love using Celsius when it’s below freezing, as it ‘feels colder’ to say negative numbers instead of numbers in their teens or twenties. It’s more psychology than anything, but Fahrenheit still definitely has its practical uses, and I’m not ditching it anytime soon.

We can ditch feet/yards/miles though. Meters definitely make more sense in that regard.

the vast majority don’t care or they would have stopped using it a long time ago

It’s a little disingenuous to claim people should’ve stopped using something that hasn’t come to market yet. I was looking for other options when they started trying to force me to upgrade to Windows 11, but this absolutely is the last straw that I won’t use Windows on my next computer.

And I’m sure this in no way will invade people’s privacy.

“Hmm, why is the anti-queer politician sitting next to me being served dozens of male underwear ads? Hmmmm…”

“Why is my daughter receiving ads for newborn diapers? Hmmm…”

“Why is my neighbor receiving ads for anger management? Hmmm…”

Celsius is how hot water feels. Fahrenheit is how hot humans feel.

One is clearly more applicable for day-to-day life.

IzzyScissor , 22 days ago to technology in Microsoft to test “new features and more” for aging, stubbornly popular Windows 10

Please no. I didn’t upgrade to Windows 11 on purpose. I’m just trying to hold out as long as I can until I’m forced to switch to Linux. I don’t want to have to deal with more enshittification in the meantime.

I’m still sad that we didn’t use ‘Ultra’, which means ‘beyond’ or ‘on the far side of’. Huge missed opportunity to be called Ultragender instead.

Prices will continue to go up until the number of subscribers lost due to the price increase outweighs the additional profit from the subscribers who agree to pay the higher amount.

Just don’t call anyone ‘cis’. That’s a crime punishable by ~~death ~~ account deletion.
