  • Agree with most of the other posts here. Some of the cheaper faucets I’ve come across have these miserable plastic valves that set you back $15 a pop and last only a year until they break. Then it either jams or water starts dripping.

    That said, an Ikea faucet I got on sale for $20 five years ago still works like it did on day one. In fact, I got two more while it was still on sale, fearing it would break like the other cheap ones, but they’re still sitting in their boxes under the sink.




  • Windows 10. When your OS no longer respects your choices and you have to fight it every minute, there is something wrong. The creeping invasions on privacy have only cemented my use of Linux

    Truthfully, I’m not sure if I would have ever switched over if Microsoft kept the Windows 7 paradigm. But I started my search for alternatives when Windows 8 - already too adventurous for me - came with the computer I bought.

    Towards the end of my time using Windows 10 as my primary OS, the realization that the UI is not an inherent component of the OS sealed the deal. As a Windows 2000 fan, I fell in love with the way Chicago95 Debian replicated the look and stability that I had sorely missed.
