Reinforced with steel so as to not to damage the floor, but coated with enough shock absorbent rubber to keep shards from flying all over the room.
Located right under your feet, picking up your Microsoft infected computer and smashing it into pieces becomes a joy, not a chore.
Even if you never
use it, very comforting to know it's always there just in case. Should come free with every god forsaken Windows "update".
"Windows: Named for what you want to throw this crap out of."
I'll see myself out.
Like so

Steve Jobs looking at the big picture, not getting into the engineering weeds.

I thought shards flying across the room was part of the point? |
|
| |
We considered that, so you can flip this over to get more of a shard shower if you'd like. |
|

Remember, there are 7.888 billion people on Earth and each and every one has a different opinion on how a computer running Microsoft Windows should be smashed to pieces. |
|
| |
There are far more then that if you count illegal people. |
|
| |
And to be fair, there might be some people who feel differently about computers that run Windows. Some might think burning them is the way to go, or even using explosives. |
|

Can't make assumptions about such large groups of humans, we all see things differently. |

Microsoft Office Products aren't half as bad as the excrement of a web-based change management database that is the front end for TeamCenter that we have to deal with is. TeamCenter Rich Client is fairly useful. But this DeLoitte and Touche-created steaming pile of cowpie takes everything that was good about TeamCenter and removes it, while keeping all of the bad nonsense. It violates every tenet of good UI design, be it predictable interface, clues to the next step, or feedback that the path that you're trying to go down to release this dumb product is completely wrong and you need to go submit a workflow for the implement stage is first, whatever the hell that means. Oh no. Microsoft Windows, being much worse than Office, but eons better than the flotsam generated by well-paid 'consultants' is only about the 3rd circle of hell in Dante's software. |

My solution is engineering departments need more old people or children to test things on. |

I was working with the person making a training video for my company, giving advice and verifying the training was correct. I put myself in the "man on the street" mode looking for what somebody new to the process might get hung up on. Sometimes it was an assumption that the scientific processes discussed were already understood (I'd suggest the very simplest overview and analogy of the process) or a simple thing like the next page/video link being in different places. |

I believe Steve Jobs was great at his job because he WASN'T an engineer, he was an end user. Watch him describe what he wanted from a product that turned out to be reasonably successful. The iPhone. |

Should be trivial to make a sound and image recognition system to identify such a device as is being targeted in the idea. The system would be built into what looks like an ordinary desk. On detecting the diagnostic system sounds, or on recognising the screen display, the top of the desk retracts and tilts, allowing all devices on it to slide into the centre where large toothed hardened steel mechanised rollers chew it all to bits with satisfying crunching sounds. |
|

There should be a user-adjustable setting to either deposit the detritus onto the mat, or to spray it across the room, depending on user preferences. |

What are you using? Microsoft computers are just as reliable as Macs, *at the same price point*. Windows, like Android, is more accessible to the masses due to its widespread availability on cheap equipment at budget prices. The poors who have only ever experienced it on the low end of the budget spectrum and finally decided to jump ship to Apple and think it's more reliable WOULD have found just as much reliability on an equally priced Windows machine, without all the sacrifices you make switching to a less 3rd party friendly platform. Take, again the Android comparison. People will get fed up with their cheap Samsung A53, which they bought because they considered the $1,000 Galaxy S22 to be outrageously expensive, then switch to iOS and spend just as much or more on the latest Apple phone and think Apple makes superior products when it works better than the $400 budget Samsung phone. |

Now don't be getting all technical. Just remember, M$ BAD and you will soon be cool. |
|
| |
Which is badder, Orangeman or M$? |
|
| |
Only one solution... Fight! |
|
| |
It's Doc Rem with the steel chair... mat! |
|
| |
I can shut off M$ at least. |

Just kind of fun to rant a bit sometimes. |
|
| |
If ranting a bit is fun, does that mean ranting a lot is funner? |
|
| |
New idea: Rant competition. Who can rant the longest. |
|
| |
OK its not a new idea, it is already invented, it is called "the internet". |
