He always seems to be chasing or trying to create the "next big thing". One guess how this will turn out.

Companies see no ROI when investing in their IT infrastructure (this includes well trained staff), instead handing over IT functions to the lowest outsource bidders. That is, until this kind of shit happens ... then the blame game begins. Look no further than the mirror Clorox. You're to blame.

You think I'm a conspiracy theorist after 30+ years of Microsoft's antics? LOL

So, telling Microsoft's Windows not to enable Recall on tabs by simply telling Windows they are all private is going to ensure they never get copied? I don't think so, this is Microsoft we are dealing with here. One simple update "mistake", or forced feature enabled for "your" protection, can make this all moot. Simply stop feeding the Microsoft beast people.

While QB64 is 99.9% compatible with old GWBASIC and QuickBASIC code, it's real power lies in the slew of new commands added to take advantage of today's modern processors. A good tutorial highlighting the new commands can be found here: https://www.qb64tutorial.com/

I like most of Marvel's superhero movies. This one, not so much. To each his/her own I guess. I see I've already been down voted so perhaps I'm in the minority.

Of all the computers from that era I would have to say the TI994/A was the best. First, it was really a 16bit computer and supported true sprites. A friend and I spent a weekend programming our custom BattleZone on his TI994/A and it came out amazing (in our eyes at least). We did it in TI Basic! On my CoCo I would have had to dust off EDTASM to get similar results. Yeah, the was you had to load disks on the Commodore was fantastically horrible. As far as universal BASIC goes; most of the 8 bit computers from that era used a modified version of Microsoft's BASIC. When we all finally moved to PCs and compatibles I suppose the "universal" BASIC was GWBASIC, then QuickBASIC (QBASIC), and finally Visual Basic (until .NET murdered it). You can still get the universal BASIC feeling today using QB64: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/...

Thunderbolts was stupid, not a "very, very good movie".

How can anyone "shop" on Amazon, especially with a ridiculous small phone screen? I stopped using Amazon because it's so stupidly hard to find any real value on the site, and the "search" features laughably horrible. It's nothing but a Chinese trash pit as far as I'm concerned.

For some reason there were very few Commodore 64s in my area when I was a kid. Most of us had TRS-80 CoCos with a few TI994/As added in for good measure. In 1984 my high school introduced their first computer class and it was filled with 20 Commodore 64s, ugh. They were clunky beasts and the damn diskette drives were slower than my CoCo's tape drive. Now, if someone were to offer a Tandy CoCo3 today with modern amenities (yes, I realize the CoCo SDC exists among other modern add-ons) I would be interested. Man, computing back in the early 80s was a blast.

Very cool though if confirmed to be true.

LOL, where are my mod points when I need them?

Give thanks to the mighty Windows 11. The best thing to ever happen to Linux. An honorable mention needs to go to the nutter Satya for making it all possible.

I used AI the other day to invent anti-gravity. A few weeks ago it helped me solve world hunger.

A book for my company's owner in 1995. I was the company IT admin and he told me to order a book on Amazon for him. I thought it was odd that he was interested in the Amazon. He then pointed out that it was a web site. First time I had heard of it. It was great until about 2015. I have avoided the Amazon ever since. Nothing but a scammy Asian flea market now.
