It’s not necessarily garbage, but it sure isn’t curated either. Throwing everything into the blender and hoping the mechanism will usually spit out good info is a scientific spinning of the roulette wheel. Sometimes the odds are pretty good. Sometimes they’re horrible, and you should know better than to expect anything but.

But AI has become the shiniest hammer, and every damn thing is a nail now.

Using Linux and everything else not Microsoft:

“I’m doing my part!”

The early ones were easier. The one I had needed to do some mess with a grounding screw and some other stuff that I forgot (there are websites dedicated to the procedure guidelines and which requires what), and like you say, it’s not going to be able to do much anyway. Such a contrast with throwing Kubuntu on an old MacBook, and 10 minutes later it was better than new.

It’s true that most people just want instant on functionality with no need for major changes beyond colors and backgrounds. Totally fine too, for many that’s all they need. But as a “power user”, which would mean anyone that needs more than a portable browser, I was very disappointed to find that’s all that ChromeOS is (twas a used one in the family). And then when I researched putting actual Linux on it so it could do more… good god they locked that shit down hard. Not even worth that rabbit hole. And that was the intent of Google.

It’s either saying it out loud, some inside joke that shouldn’t have been made public, or they don’t get the point of themes and morals of stories.

The other number should be the one that’s mind boggling. We see the number “million” so much and don’t grasp its scale.

Never apologize for giving your opinion. If you do it badly, then do what you did and expand on it. I don’t like olives either. Nasty things. :D But I get other people do, and probably don’t like things I do. I can appreciate why people may like them, even prefer them over lots of things, I just don’t myself. Can’t change that. And the olives are always there if I ever get a craving for them, just not my thing.

Don’t. Everyone has their preferences, which was the point.

Speaking as a straight guy, I can’t blame her for not finding men attractive.

It also means the OS is in total control of the things it’s running. This goes for running programs, shutting down, and crashing. The only crashes I have on my Linux are when I use up memory, and I’m still convinced that even though everything looks seized up, if I left it for hours or days it would probably end up resolving itself. I’ve had some cases where the OS saw the program wasn’t going in a good direction fast enough and killed it.

Blame Microsoft sure, but where this ignorance of LLMs’ faults keeps coming from is baffling. Either the CTO and CIO and the rest of the IT departments are idiots, or someone is grabbing their bonuses while they can before things break.

The book that came with the C-64 was a good primer for first-time computer users, but I ended up needing more and bought the “Commodore 64 Programmer’s Reference Guide,” which was far more useful, and then “Mapping the Commodore 64” and “Machine Language for Beginners.”

Yes, I still have them. You never know… :D

Jack’s a keeper, clearly, but Ryan got the party popper, also. Something is going on there.

Caleb is probably a wish that isn’t even going to happen with those numbers; better be more concerned about Ryan.

CEO proves that CEOs can be replaced by AI.

Punching a nazi in the crowded streets so much better than in the alley. Tell them we don’t want them here, period.

“This is cyberterrorism.” Letting those sites do their thing without cracking down on them… I agree.

That’s assuming Copilot could form a coherent report to send back to them.

Windows 10 was the last Windows I’ll use. Windows 7 was the last one I was happy with. Windows 98SE and XP, we had great times, didn’t we? Miss you guys.

That is my response, every damn time.
