From the jump

Chill Regular-ass Post

Woman escapes kidnapping by jumping from trunk of moving car.

What a badass. And the article is correct: any car (in the US) built post 2001 has a trunk release in the trunk. It’s usually really easy to find. Her kidnapper might not have even been aware of this fact; many people are not. The releases, I believe, all glow lightly so should be visible even when the trunk is fully closed.

Fun fact about a terrible event that I couldn’t find in the press anywhere: that car is a 2013-2018 Altima. Can’t tell the exact year because they’re all of the same generation, but I’d guess a 2016 based on the wheels.

It’s been five years

How can Windows 10 and Office 2016 bite so much ass that Office 2016 applications manage to look blurry on two different monitors of different DPIs, when theoretically the application should be scaled correctly for at least one of the monitors? How can you fail on something this goddamn hard?

In this case, it’s not just my picky eyes. It’s a pervasive and huge problem Microsoft has been unwilling to fix (even though the fix should be relatively easy) for years.

This has worked correctly on the Mac, by the way, since 2013, without any real issues.

Office 2016 is basically unusable if you have monitors with different DPIs. This is a very large number of people and increasing all the time. It’s just ridiculous in a profoundly absurd way that no one from Microsoft planned for this or worked to correct this.
