Anthropic and OpenAI literally have no control over their leading AI models anymore and it’s only by sheer luck that they’ve not gone full rogue.

Goes on to write an article with a bunch of issues that very few people will actually have. It’s like he’s deliberately gone out of his way to write a karma whoring post on Reddit.

Linux Mint isn’t a bleeding edge distro like Arch, CachyOS and other current flavours of the month which means it’s more mature which make it both more stable and less likely to randomly come across issues that can cause it to break quite badly. It also has decently put together things like an “app store”. There is also a massive online community for support. For someone coming from Windows with no Linux experience it makes it easier to get to grips with and less likely something bad will happen that would put them off.

Except they’re not. Here in the UK semi-trucks run at 97,000lb and we’re also moving to SUVs and Ford Trucks like Raptor are also starting to make yet pedestrian casualty rates aren’t going up.

Just switched from Pixel 8 Pro to iPhone. Looking like that was a good decision even though iOS is a shitshow to use in comparison.

Plenty of cheap RAM for older laptops on the used market.

Exactly that because drives were getting cheaper over time so it saved Samsung money to refund at the going market rate and at worst case it would be just a few dollars more. When they penned that they never envisaged the shitshow we have going on today when the price of storage and RAM has 4x’d or more.

Once again for the stupid…IT IS OPTIONAL. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT ANYTHING IN THERE NOR DOES ANYTHING YOU PUT IN ANY OF THOSE FIELDS HAVE TO BE THE TRUTH.

Does he not want them to tell them the truth?

It’s a torture for seldom used Linux PCs as well. In short any PC that isn’t updated for a long period of time is going to spend a long period of time updating with the possibility of breaking things.

It wouldn’t win out. They typically didn’t have any crumple zones to dissipate the forces of the impact so the full forces in the accident got transferred to the passenger cell and therefore the passengers. Also no seatbelt pre-tensioners to stop you flying forward before the seatbelt locks would engage and no airbags to protect you. Steering columns were also not collapsible so the driver’s chest being impacted by the steering wheel was a common thing in a head on.

Anker or uGreen are my go to.

AI generated crap. Lots of people posting in /r/Apple that they’ve uptimes many times longer than this without any issue.

Trump is just a symptom of a country that’s been sick for years, especially since Bush. The relationship you had before and the position the US enjoyed is gone thanks to Trump setting fire to whatever soft power the US had left. All the middle powers, such as the UK, EU nations, Canada, Australia, South Korea etc are pivoting away from the US, strengthening trade with themselves and China and reducing reliance on US tech, US banking especially Mastercard and VISA, and US military equipment. The end of the petro-dollar has also begun.

People in those comments need to get a life. I can only assume that they were still at school if they’re considering 35 as middle aged.

It has zero impact on my life therefore I don’t care.

If you have a pension you or your employer pay into you are also one of those shareholders via your pension fund.

Run a VM for Windows…

systemd…works fine for me. Have changed from systemd-boot to Limine because I dual boot and it’s better at handling Windows and Window’s EFI partition being installed on a separate drive. It just auto-detects it and means that if I do decide to completely ditch Windows I can just wipe that drive.

Chris Titus’s WinUtil. In it is a tool called MicroWin that can create a custom installation media which will allow local accounts and also remove all the telemetry, adverts and all the other crap.
