May as well just add Windows 10 Debloater to the mix. It lets you disable the Microsoft spying features, disable Cortana entirely, prevent Edge from taking over as default PDF reader, and it's a good way to automatically remove the bloatware that comes with a typical install of Windows 10. It's good stuff. Oh, and you can tell it to remove whatever apps you want. Literally any app, so do be careful to not fuck up your system by uninstalling Settings or something.

KFC wasn't joking when they announced their console. It's not even a half-assed thing; it's a full-fucking-fledged gaming PC (with an RTX GPU in there, for kicks), and the Chicken Chamber actually works to heat chicken by drawing heat from the CPU and GPU. They hired someone from Cooler Master to make this thing. This has to be the highest-effort shitpost ever.

Just one question: why? What is this shit? There was the dating simulator (yes, that wasn't a fan game), a romance novel, then this year, a Lifetime Original (Mini) Movie. I've heard that KFC isn't very good in the US (one of the worst, apparently). I'm not sure what strategy they're going for here. Like, your product has to be good first before you can start advertising, so I have no clue why they're putting the cart before the horse, shitposting so hard that it makes Wendy's look normal by comparison.

Seriously, I've eaten KFC where I live, and it's, like, good. It's my first "fuck it, gotta eat something" choice. The marketing makes sense; it's not shitpost after shitpost, trying to pull off a Wendy's. It's a bit generic (just imagine product shots of chicken being grilled/cooked for half the advert), sure, but it makes sense. It's a brand that people respect.

What the fuck is wrong with the US KFC, that they think this shit is acceptable when their service is some of the worst there!? They're making people laugh, but at them, not at their jokes! This can't be sustainable, surely.

Just one question: why?

It makes people forget about the rat incident(s).

Also, if the Double Down is anything to go by, KFC has been shitposting for years

I woke up today to see this for a disk speed test:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Keep in mind, it's supposed to have up to 160MB/s read and up to 90MB/s. Not even fucking close. Not even on the sequentials.

Get the fuck out of here, you fake SD card. Fuck you, seller. I'm giving you incontrovertible evidence that it's not even close to hitting the advertised speeds. There are no bottlenecks other than the SD card itself; the SD card reader is connected over USB-C, so if you want to contest that, you'll have to tell me that USB-C somehow has a minimum speed of less than 100MB/s. I know for a fucking fact that my real Sandisk Ultra gets 90MB/s read on this exact reader, so it's not the reader. The fact that this piece of shit cannot reach even that is evidence that it's not the speed it says to be.

It's not my SD card; it's a friend's, but I feel the same righteous indignation I feel towards fake products and their sellers. You fucks (the seller). I hope you (the seller, not anyone else) get paid in fake money your entire life. At least I'm not the one that has to deal with the seller, presumably in a calmer manner than mine.

Right?  Give us that candy, it tastes of capitalism utterly failing to plan at all.

V-day is something I force out of my memory until it just shows up.

Although christmas and halloween being neighboring aisles in August is a known phenomenon.
