It hasn't happened to mine, so it's all bullshit. FTFY. Quick, now tell us how secure Adobe products are.

When you take their actions and consider them as a whole, it clearly paints some as good or evil. Sure, no one is movie villain evil or saint-level good, but when a preponderance of their actions have outcomes that are bad for others, then

I find it helpful in working with technology. I have been experimenting with generating powershell scripts using chatgpt, and aside from a few syntax errors or localization, the scripts are a great starting point. Instead of writing the who

The best one I ever saw was someone took a few gallons of 3M non-conductive liquid, put a working 486 motherboard in the bucket, put the bucket in the freezer, then overclocked it until it burned up. They got an impressive overclock out of

That's level 13, after your Thetans have been excavated, drug out to the parking lot and beaten with sticks. That's Xenu's kink, and I don't judge. Also, it costs $14 million in "donations".

Most of it is likely being spent on the backend pieces that support delivery of the content. That being said, it's still an insane amount of money for something that really needs to wait a few decades for hardware to catch up. Everyone

Why would anyone waste their time uploading a resume, as requested, then spending the next 15 minutes entering in, everything on the resume they literally just uploaded??!?! Let's not get into OCR in these, it's abysmal, throwing

There is already "work" being done to detect the user's eye focus. If the user looks away from the ad, the ad pauses, until the user refocuses on their garbage. Granted, for now, it's 20 mins of ads for free tickets, an

I think it's both. I think the article is meant to generate clicks, but at the same time, but this is Micro$oft. Of course they are going to roll out ads in the future. It starts small. Want Windows free? Watch ads, then when enough pe

This is how they got and stay the profitable. Remember, you're talking about a company that removes features to sell over-priced adapters or wireless earbuds or cases or charging cables or or or, while calling itself "Brave".

I'm similar. Something that's helped me in this regard is to mentally try to pronounce it the first few times I read an unfamiliar name. After that, it gets pegged with whatever pronunciation I chose and for me, I remember the nam

We had a VCR with a wired remote and oddly, the cable that connected it was something like 40' long. You could almost stand outside and start a movie. Thanks JCPenny. :)

This is sadly common in business. The approach of "who cares about current customers and their experiences, when there are so many people not on the platform already", which leads to quite predictable results. Look at the arroganc
