OK hello I have put on my exercise clothes and have found an exercise video and have the weights and we are going to see if I can do more than 2 min of a video on my own without giving up.

I need to do it for my mental health and it's hard to do because of my mental health.

If that was real and not scripted, he would have wet himself, at best, and run away.

No?

@kingrat I just changed it to work the right way

@kingrat they DO. I guess it works like phone scrolling but it is somehow very counterintuitive in a computer

A bunch of you have suggested not trying to make the Mac act like a PC but learning the new way, which makes sense.

However... will I get used to the scrolling in the opposite direction or should I just change that now?

@kingrat it’s like trying to learn to be left handed

Ok, I have a new mouse ordered and have figured out the tapping I think but I swear to god the next person who tells me that Macs are, intuitive is getting punched in the neck.

I think I will probably be happier in the long run, but this is extremely painful, the learning

@kingrat how do I turn it off? I’ll Google

Setting up my Mac and it keeps talking to me and telling me I can press the voiceover key + whatever to do things and WHAT IS THE VOICE OVER KEY?

Sorry for yelling, I just really need this to work lol

@kingrat ok good. And also it’s almost unbelievable, the luck I have not had

@kingrat @smellsofbikes FFS

@smellsofbikes @kingrat i never encrypted it

Remember how I had two BRAND-NEW computers fail last week and finally decided reluctantly to go to a Mac?

The dell I bought on Tuesday has had 13 blue screens of death and this is the final. It won’t restart.

I’m going to take it to Best Buy to return but… how do I delete my info if I can’t restart it?

@kingrat I can return it still; I don't know if I should just get the same thing bc this one's just a lemon or if I need to try a third option.

@kingrat my previous lenovo was amazing. The one I had for 2 months had a hard drive failure which is why I switched to a Dell.

And yeah, I need windows and not linux

@kingrat yeah, I don't know how to navigate without windows

@kingrat I had a Lenovo Yoga and its hard drive failed this week after 2 1/2 months. I got a Dell Inspiron on Wednesday and I've gotten various blue screens 7 times in three days. It always restarts and woks fine, but that can't be a good sign, right?

(two examples, but there have been more. The blue one has happened 3 times I think)

OK, this is going to sound unbelievable. I mean, it's actually going to sound unbelievable.

I had to return my lenovo because the hard drive failed. I bought a dell. Three days ago. I've gotten SEVEN blue screens in 3 days. "Recovery: it looks like Windows didn't load correctly" "Unexpected operating system exception occured" and more

I. Cannot. Deal.

Do I need to get a Mac? I don't want a Mac, I find them coutnerintuitive. I don't know if my peripherals will work with a Mac, is that still an issue?

I don't want a Mac and can't afford a Mac but this is three PC laptops in a row with major problems. I don't know what to do anymore.

@kingrat yeah it’s super obvious how different threads is now va when it started.

I put this on threads also and someone came at me for supporting OXXO when it’s destroyed momnpop corner stores and…

1. That’s absolutely true

2. I’m willing to bet that person has used chain stores before and this is not unique to OXXO

3. I was honestly just pointing out how nice it is to be able to buy water at 10 pm when you realize you’re out.

Maybe threads is not for me any more. Is blue sky any better?
