My 78 year old mother bought a new laptop, windows 11.

Immediately I had to remote in because of some S mode BS which just put you in the MS only application environment.

3 months later and somehow she fubarred her login and can’t use her new laptop. There’s probably an easy fix, but since she hates windows 11 and wants to go back to 10, I suggested Linux.

So it will be a Merry Christmas for my mom when I visit and install IDK? Some version that’s super simple. Anything is better than what she currently has

No expert, but lately I’ve heard they got energy, manufacturing, and money problems. And it’s getting worse. I think they’ve been in desperation mode for a while now.

Afaik they are winning, why would they capitulate?

Wtf is this? A karaoke scam?

It’s actually the cure for a multitude of ailments…

When I was growing up, you had to go to the mall, and purchase the anarchist cook book if you wanted bomb recipes. Or go to the library. You kids got it easy today…

I checked my magic 8 ball, we are screwed

I’m pretty sure that writing something down has been proven to be helpful for retaining the information.

But that study is probably 50 years old, and people learn and retain information differently.

So I wouldn’t be surprised if using a computer to take notes is just as effective as writing it, especially for younger generations.

Seriously, in my experience AI generated results are only actually correct maybe 10% of the time

Lol no he didn’t.

As a full stack web dev I’ve been using AI off and on and while it seems really good at basic markup language, it almost never gets PHP or JS right.

It suggests weird ways of doing things that either don’t work, are completely asinine, use some random unknown libraries, or is just outdated.

My experience with BF6.

Open beta required to watch twitch for 30 minutes to get a key to get early access. Got key, doesn’t work, says it’s invalid. Load up game, can’t play because it’s only early access beta and locked. Try again the next day, now the game won’t even start up saying secure boot must be enabled. Check bios, secure boot is enabled. Guess I can’t play BF6?

Russia is getting more desperate by the day. Last month it was motorcycles and Ladas, now they are pulling out chemical warfare. They must be losing their ass if they are resorting to WWII tactics.

How can it be, it’s millions of microplastic particles. Am I wrong? Those single use plastics produce a ton of microplastics, right?

After switching to torbrowser for all my questionable searches and downloads, I no longer get notices from my ISP for like 10 years now

That’s how I remember it!

Funny thing. Back in the day, and possibly today, all windows Hotmail/Livemail servers were Linux.

Months? What happened to weeks? They’ve been saying weeks since 2015 or earlier

If anyone is interested, it’s X Celsius times 9/5 + 32

I just buy cds 5 for a $1 @ GW and rip to pc, transfer to phone. Got almost 100GB
