I have been diagnosed as level 1 autistic late in life, and I feel that I am somewhat different from neurotypical people. Yet, every time I see an autist with a higher level of need of assistance (in my city, autists are identified with special lanyards, for they have some benefits as people with special needs), I don't think that I have the same disorder as them. I can't understand some social norms or irony, I can't identify who is being kind to me and who feigning kindness, and I have limited interests, however, even though that put me at some disadvantage, I don't think that as kind of a real disorder, but something that I have to work on with a psychologist.

Sorry, I keep forgetting that things are not the same everywhere. My psychiatrist is actually not a Gen-Xer. She's from the same period, but we are from Brazil, and her generation has none of the characteristics of Generation X. Computers only became common here by the time Windows 95 had been released. Very few people had any experience with MS-DOS.

"[...] feel as alien as it does to Gen Z [using] MS-DOS." MS-DOS feels alien to anyone that has never used command line. My psychiatrist is Gen X, and using MS-DOS would feel alien for her as well.

Most of the engineers who implemented two-digit years in dates did not expected their programs to last until 2000.

Isn't it more confusing if you call 26 the version lunched in 2025? What happens if they use the same scheme for numbering iPhone and Mac models? Soon enough we'll have the same versioning scheme as car models, with something like a 26/25 Mac.

The question is not whether AGI will ever be achieved, but by which definition it will be achieved. There is no consensual definition of AGI, so the Big Techs have a lot of space to define it themselves when it is convenient for them. OpenAI and Microsoft have already defined AGI as an AI that brings one hundred billion dollars profit.

Hadn't you abandoned yet? Every change they made in the service made it worse. Going AI is just the final nail on the coffin.

I am not a native English speaker, so I am a bit confused. I would call a person who takes top secret files home is a spy, but the summary is calling such a person an 'intern'.

According to Wikipedia, .su (Soviet Union) top domain is still in use, and is used mostly by scammers and criminals.

I can't understand why they blocked all traffic from Brazil. This is underdeveloped country. We don't have IA capabilities. All of our best engineers are abroad.

Does Notepad come with spell check now? That's the feature that I always missed and if I can turn off everything else new and just have spell check, I'm okay with the changes.

Yes. I used it today for about five minutes without internet, and could use One Note.

Couldn't it be solved with a prompt the first time every user starts using the browser, whatever the OS, listing the main search engines available randomly with a single line explaining the pros of each one?

Of course it was a "political agenda," just because the main characters where not mostly white. It had nothing to do with a confusing plot that had to be explained over in interviews and by commenters, together with nonsensical nods to the previous trilogy. Lack of creativity did not play a important role as well. Bring back the villain of the previous two trilogies! More giant spaceships! Why not?
