  • Also had to update virtually every time I touched it and half the time those updates would break it so I had to reinstall. I didn’t use it on a daily basis or anything and it’s been a few years so maybe they fixed that but it’s why I don’t currently use it (along with the fact that it’s a microsoft product and I’m trying to stay away from all their shit as much as possible).











  • Yeah, I’m not arguing with you, it’s just a pain in the ass to deal with. I don’t mind seeding the shit I download at all but it shouldn’t be a fucking competition when it’s a requirement to download stuff. Obviously they’re not hurting for seeders. IMO a better metric would be having a required seeding time (which they do anyway) and let you download as much as you want as long as you seed it long enough. Like you said I’ll never hit a positive ratio, even doing things your way I doubt I’d find enough shit I wanted to build up a big ratio. I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing and rely mainly on public trackers and use the private ones only when I can’t find what I’m looking for. I actually have quite a high ratio on both the private trackers I use just from seeding stuff for a long time and trading points in so I can download stuff, it just doesn’t help my ratio.





  • Our IT sent out a test once that was a fake “someone sent you this document on teams” link and I fell for it assuming it was another stupid microsoft workflow for sharing documents. The only reason I didn’t actually hit the log in part that would have got me reported was because I didn’t care enough about whatever it was that was supposedly sent to me.


  • The entire phrase I used was “anything beyond the absolute basics”. Meaning it only works on basic things. Just because you fixated on a word doesn’t mean it was “key”.

    I’ve had to fix literally every piece of code, scripting, email, or whatever else I’ve tried to use it for. The only time it’s moderately successful is if I give it very explicit instructions on information I need from a document or website and it can accomplish about as much as hitting ctrl+F and doing a search, and even then it throws in random bullshit from the internet if it can’t find all the information I asked for. Even when I explicitly tell it to stick to the source. If you have some examples of how you’re using it effectively I’d love to hear them because it’s been absolute trash for me.
