At the end, my windows 7 machine would take an hour to boot if I remember right because Windows used 100% of my hard drive to do god knows what. Windows 7 at the end was literally unusable without an ssd.

I've never heard anyone argue that men with no hair loss are less manly so no I don't think it counts as gender affirming care. I have man boobs, I guess fixing that would technically be gender affirming care because I'm emba

How is that legal? Could he also decide to sell a Bic pen he personally owns to XAI for 100 billion dollars? What's the line? Do you need to be able to convince a judge you truly believe it's worth that?

There's a guy who wrote a AutoHotKey IDE in autohotkey (AHK Studio). I knew it was quality when I saw his avatar was a My Little Pony character. Back then I think a single 10k line ahk file. I just went to his site and there's no

It's like when we were kids and teachers said "you won't always have a calculator in your pocket". In 30 years, we might all have an AI model in a brain chip, who knows.

New doesn't mean good, but watching something new to you has a plus value. Even if you just like old movies, there are tonnes of great old movies. Don't you want to watch more than one? Experiencing something for the first time ju
