I've bought Crucial upgrades for the last few laptops I've owned, both RAM and SSDs.

I used to joke around about how the AI companies wouldn't be satisfied until all resources on the planet were directly routed to them and everything else was eroding because of it. Now? Now, it's not seeming so much like a joke.

Precisely. Someone told me that's all he hears when humans talk anyway.

The Windows 10 Decrapifier Script, combined with most of the tweaks available in WinUtil should reduce your workload pretty effectively.

Sad it needs to happen...but I hope it helps streamline things for you.

You got it backwards. If AI were involved, it would have chosen the correct file, and this wouldn't have happened. AI is infallible, neigh unto God, and humans are silly and stupid. That's the lesson to be taken from this. Remove humans from decision making, for their own good.

I cast disbelieve. Nobody fucking requests recaps. I'll sometimes poke at my history specifically to find that video by that one band that I remember being good, but can't remember the name of, but I *NEVER* want a summary recap of my history. This sounds more like some marketing department wet dream come to life than something any normal user would request.

We're almost to the point where it seems we'll be getting recaps of our recaps on top of our recaps to recap our recap from the previous years' recaps.

It's an accumulative thing. Having a free U2 album shoveled into your bits may be viewed as a minor offense, depending on how much you despise U2, but life is filled with minor offenses, and all Apple had to do to avoid causing yet another was simply *offer* the album for free, rather than force-loading it automatically.

It's a lot of work, and Japanese has a lot of characters.

That they probably use a small subset of, And can have a bot scan their game's text assets for all characters presented in a certain font
and build a font with only the ones used in their existing program.

The AI is significantly more aware of other cars around it. Unlike a human, the self-driving system has continuous 360-degree visibility.

While I agree that it *should* always be safe to hit the brakes, the truth is that when you're driving on busy roads most of the time it's not safe to brake hard. People follow too close more often than they maintain proper separation.

I also agree that drivers should always have sufficient situational awareness to know whether or not it's safe to brake, they often don't, and they often react without considering the consequences. This isn't a "man vs woman" thing, it's a human thing.

Can you let Tim Cook know that?

I'm an Apple fan, but the money they charge for internal storage is ridiculous, especially given that I can buy an external SSD with 2 TB for like $150 if I shop around a bit.

The cynic in me wants to say that they see "intelligence" and go "great, it has something I don't, let's just 100% trust it".

The social critic in me wants to say that it's due to the gigantic hype about AI and how it'll revolutionize everything, replace everyone and solve all problems.

And the tech/security guy in me wants to say "doh, people do dumb shit. What else is new?"

Among widely available fonts under OFL, GNU GPL for Fonts, or other free licenses, not many of them cover the 2,100-odd Jouyou (regularly used) kanji and 1,000 name kanji that BadDreamer mentioned. It's a lot easier to make a font that covers 100-200 characters from two alphabets, such as Chilanka that covers the Latin and Malayalam scripts in a distinctive and dyslexia-friendly handwritten style, than one that covers 3,000 different kanji made of 600 radicals (as iggymanz mentioned) with manually-tuned slight variations to their shapes to make them fit next to each other in a character.

So... many....jokes.

Smother it in peanut butter and dip it in chocolate and it ain't bad.

They paused enshitification to improve enshitification. Don't confuse yourself by thinking improving the experience is different from enshitification. They're synonyms.

It was a U2 album force-crammed onto my devices. It wasn't controversial. It was adversarial./p.
