I was a PC tech for local computer shops back in the day. AMD processors came back too often with issues. Intel CPUs never did. Not to mention that stupid P rating AMD used back then. For example, they marketed the CPUs to end users as being 133MHz but the BIOS reports the true speed as 120MHz. Try explaining that to a customer that thinks you ripped them off. I used AMD in the 386 era (loved my AMD 386DX-40, my first DOOM machine) but the CPU failure issues among other things that came later made me personally avoid AMD after that.

AI is making it wronger.

I use Startpage to avoid all the AI slop.

Back when I was a teen in the early 80s we only looked forward to Friday Night Videos. My friends and I just didn't understand the appeal of watching music videos all the time on a dedicated channel. There was too much to do outside with friends. Cooped up in a house was not a thing back then.

I just got an OS update less than 6 months ago. OS updates don't have security patches included? Well shuck my corn.

Intel, what the heck happened to you? In the past I would have never considered an AMD processor and/or GPU. Now it looks like the only way forward. How the mighty have fallen.

My phone still gets regular updates.

I'm still rocking an iPhone 5s. When 3G was phased out I had to get rid of my dumb phone. The 5s was a used phone a family member had thrown in a drawer. It makes phone calls and texts. What more do you need?

The results were hallucinated. Get your corporate team speak terms correct people. The founders of AI would never intentionally lie. They are not sociopaths in any sense of the meaning. They are the benevolent holders of the newly born AI's hand. Llama states this explicitly.

It's public domain day every day on the high seas ... arrrrr

Tattoo babies born in the USA to US citizens with "Made in USA" on their bottoms. /s

God I hope not.

I never missed an episode of Computer Chronicles when it aired. Every computer enthusiast in the world knows who this man is. He will be remembered fondly. RIP Mr. Cheifet.

The minimum price you need to pay people to help you screw up society.

I finally got through PC Magazine's DOS Power Tools that I purchased back in the early 90s (crazy thick book). Fantastic read, although a little outdated now. I also found this great series called Breaking Bad while sailing the high seas. As far as anything more "modern" ... nope, nothing seemed to interest me.
