That just sounds like a Sonic Drive In.
This is one reason I'm still paying my monthly Microsoft dues. I'm an advanced [I guess] Excel user and none of the other spreadsheet programs out there can do everything Excel can do. At least not easily.
Around here being honked at usually means, "Why are you not running that red light!? I would run it right now if you weren't in front of me!! It just now turned red! You got AT LEAST another three seconds before you gotta worry about t-boning that Buick! C'mon! Why TF aren't you going!?!?"
"It's so great! It automatically writes the [wrong] answers to everything for you!"
My first "real" job was in retail. One of the assistant store managers was an old Vietnam vet named John. John spent his whole [civilian] career, 40 something years, working there at a job he absolutely hated. He was notoriously grumpy, rough around the edges, and smoked like a freight train. But, John did two things for me that I will never forget.
First thing: One day a customer was looking for something in a department that I wasn't familiar with. I tried (and failed) to help him find what he was looking for. There wasn't anyone staffing that area so I called John for help. The customer was an asshole. He was being a complete jerk from the start and when John showed up, he proceeded to tell John just exactly how incompetent he thought I was, while I was standing there.
John just glared at him and very politely but sternly said, "Sir, I'm going to have to stop you right there. jubilationtcornpone is one of our finest employees and I'm sure he tried to help you as best he could. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't talk about him like that." The guy wasn't happy but that did shut him up.
Second thing: John and I are talking one evening and he just kind of puts his hand on my shoulder and says, "JubilationTCornpone, You need to get the hell out of here and go make something of yourself. You don't want to be here when you're my age. Don't waste your life."
16 year old me didn't particularly like John. He was a hard boss. Also, did I mention he was perpetually grumpy? But, he earned my respect. He stood up for me and wasn't going to just stand by and let someone else treat me badly. Even if that meant losing a customer. If you're an executive or manager and you force your people to just sit there and take it while they're being bullied or harassed, then you're an enabler.
Nobody deserves to be treated like that. People get upset. Sometimes for legitimate reasons. i get that. That doesn't give them the right to treat others like they're less than human. Even if it's someone that they'll never meet face to face.
Friendly reminder that Wells Fargo is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a bank.
It turns out that the village idiot(s) are a larger percentage of our population than previously anticipated.
Possibly due to widespread chronic lead poisoning but the verdict is still out there.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is the best film version of A Christmas Carol. I will gladly die on this hill.

They have stiff competition but this has to be one of the most incompetent boners I have ever seen pulled by a major corporation. Stating very clearly to the entire world that you have no confidence in your own product. If Eric Yuan (Zoom's CEO) wasn't the principle shareholder he probably would have been fired out of a cannon by now.
I can't think of a worse marketing strategy for a company that relies on remote work to remain relevant. This would be like if General Motors forced every employee within 50 miles of an assembly plant to ride a bike to work.
I use a combination of both. SSD’s to store read/write intensive data. In my case, I run multiple VM’s and store the primary VHD’s on SSD’s. HDD’s for stuff where space matters more than speed, like digital media and local backups.
