I'm not sure why you would think I would blurt that out on the internet. And are you sure it's giving you good info? "AI" is famously subject to hallucinations, so you may not be getting the "good info" you t

Good. I typed in a search for some medication I was taking and Google's "AI" summary was bordering on criminal. The WebMD site had the correct info, as did the manufacturer's website. Google hallucinated a bunch of stuff

>Apple actually caring about UX again I doubt Apple ever really cared about UX. It took Apple 24 years after Microsoft's Windows 2.0 introduced resizing a window from any edge, for Apple to finally implement it in MacOS Lion in 2011

>Note that downside: you could only resize from that bottom right corner, not from any other edge! This was one of the worst things about MacOS and why they lost me as a user early on. I used to be a Mac Sysadmin for 3 years, and the awf

Of course it's not "a conspiracy", but it is a major, gigantic, huge, alarming failure by Apple. Resizing a window is just about the most basic and useful thing a window system can do after opening a window, and Apple totally

The only reason I'm not using Linux on my work-provided computer is due to the security software. None of it runs on Linux, it only runs on Windows and MacOS. Glad I don't have to use any software that only runs on Windows to do d

Frustrating UX? Nope. Slow? Nope. Constant hardware problems? Just no. I've already switched to Linux, but this was not at all my experience of Windows. The only reason I switched was because Windows is going towards an "AI"

What "adverts"? I've been on Pro for over a decade on a dozen machines and have never seen one single "advert".

No, just no. Across dozens of machines with different hardware configurations, I've never had Windows download a driver. It just doesn't happen. But neither of us can provide any proof, so this comment thread isn't going to g

I started with Ubuntu but had some problems installing software. Then I moved to Mint and it stuck with me. I converted 6 virtual machines from Windows to Mint Linux, and it's been great. I then moved my main server that runs the VMs f

Yeah, I requested to have a Linux desktop from my employer and was flatly told " NO ". None of our many security applications supports it, which is a real shame. As we use Windows and MacOS, I can't see how we'll really

You are hilariously wrong. Seriously, what century are you living in? It's been a very long time since I had to install a specific driver for any piece of hardware on Windows, and I go through a lot of hardware . Every piece of hard

If you want the "Home" version of Windows, you'll get ads and crap, but the cost will be free/low. If you don't want the ads and need a more professional setup, then you can pay for Windows "Pro" version.

There have been a few "AI" submissions, but they honestly aren't that great.

I can't wait for all the data center fire-sales when the whole "AI" boom goes bust. Ebay is going to be flooded with tech.

Well we didn't found a company with Steve Jobs and get only 1% of the wealth from it.

Only works in a one-way system, which might be okay, but if bidirectional is a requirement then the other gear would be necessary. I suppose then just create a symmetrical gear. Sorry I'm not a gear-head.

It would be nice to have a way to output a corresponding gear. I can make a gear with small teeth with a wide gap between them, but the same gear wouldn't really work to engage with that gear, on the other gear the teeth would need to

Was the visa program being exploited by Onlyfans models and "influencers" in the 1990's? Because that is what is being talked about here.

If one guy's pot is worth 10 billion, and the other's is worth 100 million, and the first guy got rich from the second guy's work, things seem a little bit upside down. 1% of Jobs wealth is still a lot of money, but the dispa

Your take only applies to recent developments. For the entirety of the H visa program, it has brought in very valuable talent, which stayed here to generate incredible wealth for the country. "onlyfans" is a recent thing. The kick
