Local video could be a nightmare in 90s. I remember those days. I remember when it was revolutionary that the Microsoft Media Player came out, and you could use one player for several formats, rather than each video format requiring its own

I've been using Brave since forever and comment on YouTube a fair bit and have never experienced this. There are a few instances where I had to go to another browser to make a website work, but even those have become vanishingly small

Well, with the recent discovery and harnessing of Vita-Rays, I might be inclined to think that's not so far-fetched.

So is it obvious that the bridge is out? Did the incident occur at night, and was visibility poor? As much as I hate Google, I find it hard to believe they should be held accountable before whoever owns the road with a bridge to nowhere t

My first question about this WHO report is, "Who paid for it?" In other words, what powerful entity wants us to think aspartame is bad? And why? Until we know the answers to those questions, we cannot evaluate the significance of

I remember asking an earlier version, it might have been GPT-2, to translate a phrase into Klingon. It gave a different (presumably nonsensical) response every time you asked. Since GPT is basically a text prediction engine that doesn&#x27

Windows 7 was the last Windows UI I didn't hate. With the exception of Task Manager, which was seriously spiffed up, there's very little about Windows 10 that I prefer over Windows 7, and a whole lot that's objectively worse

The funny thing about Mad is that it was incredibly literate, especially in the 50s and 60s. Those were some smart guys writing "Snappy Comebacks to Stupid Questions", etc. In fact Al Jaffee just passed away at the amazing age of

"Rocky and Bullwinkle" was an incredibly smart cartoon, at least on the level of Looney Tunes, with a sophisticated level of satire that the Warner Brothers cartoons generally didn't do. The new R&B shows on Amazon do a p

This is odd, because I asked it when sunrise would occur tomorrow in $city_in_live_in, and it gave me the correct answer. I asked about that, and it explained it has access to some real-time information, including weather, stocks, and news.
