Obviously annecdotal, but a couple years ago my friends kid was sick, and doctors were trying to figure out what was going on. My friend threw the symptoms and test results into ChatGPT, and it said the likely cause was leukemia. A few ho

The Egyptian Fry's in Campbell was my local store. Fry's was amazing - you just had to know that the salespeople were on commission and avoid them. I never had one come up to me in line and try to get a commission, but that hone

I was just gonna say that! Yeah, you had to have sufficient rep on Slashdot, then you were randomly allocated a certain number of votes (5 or so, IIRC) that you could use to vote. There were fixed categories you could vote an item for, suc

I was sitting by someone on the bus a while back, and they had all their apps arranged by predominant icon color. Black on one screen, blue on another, green on a other, red, orange, etc... I can't imagine what sort of havock this le
