Comment I dunno (Score 1) 184

As much as I like to bash on Windows as the next guy/gal I gotta say since Windows 7 service pack 1 crashes in Windows had become nearly non-existent for me. My oldest son has been running Windows 10 for over 5 years with no crashes to speak of. My younger son has been using Windows 11 for a few years and his crashes have always been due to faulty updates from Microsoft. Windows got pretty stable around 2011 (minus the faulty update crashes as mentioned). I still maintain a Windows 7 box in the house for old software I need. That darn thing has been rock solid for over 15 years now.

Make R. Lee Ermey the Marine Corps drill instructor avatar that lives within this thing. "You are a disgusting fat body Pyle!" I was amazed at how, in just three months, I went from an average fairly lazy teenager to a physically fit motivated beast during Marine Corps boot camp. As a bonus add "incentives" to do better like letting the mirror shock you when you are not sweating enough to reach your true potential or locking your AI cloud connected Samsung fridge's door when it deems you are too disgusting and fat. When the avatar notices you have gotten in your car and heading to a fast food joint it shuts down your AI cloud connected car. "Not on my watch maggot!" :) AI and the cloud are your friends.

The US is about 2% of the Earth's total land mass. That's a huge chunk of land. Of course there will be multiple large meteor sightings over the US in any given year. Meteors in the 3 to 6 ton range are estimated to enter Earth's atmosphere 2 to 3 times a month. That number is probably larger given the area of oceans where eyeballs are not present. This was a small one (1 ton according to article). Meteors in that range probably happen much more often.

Little did I know that when I fired up my TRS-80 Color Computer back in 1981 and saw "UNDER LICENSE FROM MICROSOFT" that Microsoft would be the company that would continue to screw the computing world for years to come ... and still does. No glory in that at all. Just a psychopath at the helm ready to rape the world (amongst other things, yikes!).
