How exactly does one wake up in the 1980s to get the latest from Sky News?

Yesterday I watched a video in which the thesis was that AI's 'intelligence' is directly inversely proportional to the intelligence of the…

That's hilarious. Management never changes. What's been borne out so far by AI is exactly the same failed management as we've been talking…

The most typically corporate redundancy round I witnessed was mid-level management deciding a regional call centre was no longer required.…

I'm almost sad I've never been through that with any of my employers. I have been through redundancies though. The good people always leave…

Proto-Arc are not far off releasing a gaming trackball. Alternatively, there's the Ploopy Adept & a couple of others. Trackballs that…

I have flown PAI where, to avoid checked luggage fees, it was perfectly acceptable to store your duty free washing machine in the aisle…

Yah, I received the same email from zip. I barely use it so didn't notice either transaction.

I wouldn't recommend buying any of the monitors rated less than 4 stars. The panel is basically a lucky dip.

If you don't need to stay on the bleeding edge perpetually a mid-range gaming laptop should last about 5 years. That said, for the people…

Make widget go but if touchie go BZZZZT!!.

No, this is the correct thread.

I have found AIs give attitudinally helpful but not correct answers on many issues, not just legal. Even processing something as simple as…

Oh no. Sovereign citizen vibes just touched down.

Of course. Why wouldn't I be?

~3-4hrs light use <1.5hrs light gaming <2.37mins AAA gaming unless Cyberpunk 2077, then ~0.029mins

That's actually not bad. Shame about the 2*8Gb DIMMs for anyone who wants to upgrade to 32Gb.

Yeah, I tried that but the coffee shop people, librarians, bus drivers and air hostesses all said _"You can't use your computer there"_ and…

I won't be doing much on w11, if anything. When the w10 ESU runs out, my machines & the friends/family I look after will all be migrating…

"... more than 2 tabs" is a gross understatement. There's nothing inherently wrong with these for people who have only basic needs. They're…

How does Linux perform with 8Gb?

It wasn't usable on Win10 either. I have a Lenovo X1 Yoga I can't even bring myself to turn on because it runs like such a dog on 8Gb.

Thanks for investigating

Wooosh

Don't be surprised if they try to cover up future shortages by announcing a shortage of power buttons.
