Also not a dumb q btw we should really begin to ask this kind of question much much more often and loudly. Was something wrong with iPhone 8? Do we need a new car model from each brand every year? Etc

The one and only problem with Win 10 imo was that Microsoft had already sold it to anybody who was willing to buy it and needed something new to sell. They are otherwise on record saying 10 would be the last release of Windows, they'd just keep updating it. That's senseless ofc but Win 11 is a scam.

idk where I saw it but seemingly even amids prompt fondlers Copilot has secured itself the glorious position of utter backbencher with usage numbers that doesn't even see the numbers that IE 6 had in 2015...

"Copilot, the IE of AI"

But shitposting aside, I feel like we might see a Windows 12 release sooner than expected, mayhaps with a change to the naming scheme & some sort of bone thrown at people thinking of moving to something else, that also turns Copilot into something that installs on demand.

just give us back windows 7

I've indeed read some of the most awful news I have in my life in these few days.

Re: associations, it's mostly online imo, I've seen record players in houses of ppl who have nothing to do with that sort of nonsense.

Apparently they pollute air a decent bit indoors, there's a YouTube video by Benn Jordan on it

CDs & cassettes are much better, portable sturdy shiny and can be used both in players and CDs also with computers. They have practical appeal + some nostalgia. Vinyl is merely nostalgia and audiophile bs

It's been my mood since early in 2024.. I used to be extremely computerish but kinda burnt out on how awful it got & nowadays I think I've build a less extreme and more healthy relationship with these devices. I do miss the days when they weren't a mandatory part of daily life tho.

I've had to deal with whatsapp groups for years at different stages of uni, absolutely abhorrent, thankfully not used in my current PhD. I don't get on well with Moodle, but I'd take it over whatsapp groups, always.

Or it's something that uses a word which if you interpret in isolation might be considered problematic but isn't in context and invariably actual bs in the same thread is visible.

Is this malicious incompetence?

Oh! Silly of me to assume otherwise hehe

Would you say the robot pivot is essentially Tesla publicly admitting it's an unviable business with one foot in the grave? That's how I read this bollocks

oh been on the humanoid robot trail for a while!

How do you mean?

NB:

- Insults for "AI" and its users aren't slurs in any way

- Repurposing actual slurs / stereotypes &c against some marginalised group X to insult "AI" and its users is discriminatory & harmful against *that group X*, not "AI" and its users

We must also note that before they removed it first and now re-added sub par versions thereof, Firefox had a pretty decent tab grouping feature and it's probably the browser that made vertical tabs popular thx to the excellent tree style tabs extension.

Incomprehensible.
