it is always about the grift

The pessimist in me feels Microsoft need people to buy the new devices with the shiny new co-pilot button more than ever… gotta recoup the hundreds of billions sunk into OpenAI

It is funny how fascinated we have become with politics while it is this stupid theatre. I would prefer have the Government do a good job so I don’t need to think about them at all

Yes but it is not moving that air at a rapid pace past the components as it drags it though the case

Sounds like the screen is cracked. They are so brittle

I always thought this is why the Facebooks and Googles of the world are hoovering up the data now

I have been using Jdownloader2 for years… I don’t know what the differences are, but might be an option for people who want something GUI based

lol… where do I start?

Eyes, went from being able to read the tiniest font to not being able to read a large font book in about 2 years.

Getting up to pee 2x a night

Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary…

I thought I read that Intel said this was from messing with voltages? I have had plenty of these processors in the last couple of years and never experienced crashes, but I don’t overclock
