#windowssucks Got on my work computer (fucking Windows 10) this morning, and I noticed that the fonts in some of the applications (not all) were messed up (really pixelated and faint looking). This kicked off a couple of hours in web searching. (Did you know that fucking Microsoft made it so you fucking have to change the fucking registry to change the fucking system font?)
Finally somehow arrived at "Adjust Clear type text", which is of course WTF? This goes through a virtual eye exam.
