A few years ago, a man took a vacation to Las Vegas. In the end, he managed to lose everything but his plane ticket back home. He didn't even have any money for cab fare. However, his flight was leaving in fifteen minutes, and he didn't have much of a choice. He got into a cab and told the driver,

"Hey, I need to get to the airport now. However, I don't have any money on me. But, if you take me there and give me some contact info, I promise I'll wire you the money as soon as I get back home. I'll even give you a little extra for the trouble."

The cab driver wanted nothing to do with him.

"What? You have no money? GET OUT OF MY CAB!"

The man was at a loss. Having been refused that ride, and unable to find another cab, he decided to walk. Well, more accurately, he decided to run. Very fast. It took him 30 minutes of marathon running to get to the airport. Lucky for him, his flight had been delayed. He managed to make it home safely.

One year later, he returned to Vegas for another vacation. This time, he hit it big. He was about to request a limo to take him to the airport when he noticed a line of cabs at the side of the road. And who was in the very last cab in the line? The driver who refused to give him a ride when he was down on his luck. He tried to come up with a great way to get back at him, and thought of a great plan.

He got in the first cab in the line and asked the driver,

"How much for a trip to the airport?"

"About fifteen bucks."

"How much for a ******* on the way?"

"WHAT?! GET OUT OF MY CAB!"

He repeated this conversation in every cab in the line until he got to the last one. There, he just got in and said, "To the airport." Then, as they drove past, he gave a big smile and thumbs-up to all the other drivers in the line.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.
    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
