Many people buy CHEAP crap machines and then complain when they perform poorly. Before the Intel 12th generation, most of them went for dual-core i7 based laptops that they thought MUST be great at purchase because it was an i7. Then Intel released the 12th gen, and since then, you see many laptops with only two performance cores and 6+ efficiency cores, and then they still think the OS must be the problem and not the garbage CPU.

That's odd, my old Ryzen 5 4600H based laptop had no problem with 8GB of RAM and Windows 11. Your problem may have been the dual P-core Intel chip that you had as the CPU. Having only two performance cores makes many of these machines run like complete garbage when you do more than one thing at a time.

I found this one for $700 on sale a few weeks ago. $10 for the WiFi 7 upgrade, $70 for the 512GB SSD upgrade. $500 for the CPU upgrade to 10 core Zen5 with 32GB RAM if you want to customize...factory order, so custom built.

Grindr crashes every time Republicans have a convention or gathering. Those who yell the loudest tend to be covering up for their own insecurities.

If someone is attracted to someone of the same sex or gender, but then are against LGBT+ because they don't want to admit who and/or what they are attracted to, then they don't deserve sympathy. Being against what you actually feel is a sign of someone who will cause problems in the long run.

The weekend of September 26th, not mid-July, so it is LATE in the year for this sort of thing to be happening. Sure, seeing sharks in July/August isn't unusual, but the end of September when the water temperatures are going down is a strange time for it, and seeing a storm bring them SWIMMING into flooded residential neighborhoods should be a wake-up call.

Sharks, fish, and dolphins move based on water temperatures and where prey is swimming. Unusually warm waters will bring in fish from further South. Air temperatures are also affecting the migration patterns of birds, which are not being talked about here(it's about hurricanes), but it's connected.

This is the end of September, not mid-summer, and when storms are able to allow ANY shark to swim into a residential neighborhood, that's not your typical thing. If this were July, sure, but the end of September, the waters SHOULD be cool enough this far north where sharks are nowhere to be seen. There have been more dolphin sightings in the summer months as well up off the coast of Long Island, NY than we have seen previously, again, it's due to the warmer water temperatures.

More fish that are more typically found off the coast of Southern states are being seen further North, and that's the thing, the water temperatures are higher, and if not for the things preventing tropical system formation, we would be seeing more storms that cause MASSIVE levels of damage.

Those who don't understand even the basics of a subject need to admit it and shut up until they learn something. The sand/dust off of Africa, combined with the shifting of the jet stream are the big reasons we have not seen organized tropical systems in the Atlantic this season, even while the ocean temperatures would normally cause whatever tropical systems to be more intense. The climate change deniers really should shut up at this point, because when even a small shark is seen in the floodwaters of a STREET in New Jersey after the nor'easter this past weekend, that should say that is strange enough stuff to make EVERYONE realize that things are changing, and not necessarily for the better.

If you run Copilot on a machine with or without a NPU, there is nothing there to say if the Copilot+ stuff is even enabled or not. There is no "click here to verify it is working" button, or troubleshooter. There is nothing in the Windows 11 settings to indicate if your machine hits the requirements for it to work.

So, if Microsoft can't put in a basic "Welcome to Copilot+" when you open Copilot on a Copilot+ enabled machine, that makes it so people won't care, because they won't know if a given machine has the extra functionality or not.

The Internet as such STARTED with the ARPAnet, which was a government provided backbone. Pushing to get EVERY home broadband isn't being fascist.

Many people don't understand the logic of it. When the super-wealthy have only 1% of their income being needed to cover all of their expenses, then the rest of it is just gaining additional wealth. At that point then, the idea of a top marginal tax rate of 90% or more isn't going to affect anything other than the money "in the bank" growing slower than it currently does. Before Ronald Reagan pushed his trickle-down economics, that is how it was, a 90% or even 94% in some years top marginal tax rate, and the wealthy were never limited by that sort of tax rate.

Why should there be a cap on Social Security contributions, the more people make, the more they should put into the program, with no cap, which would again, make those who make more money contribute more.

When the overall economy does better, that means people can work and afford to pay their bills, and crime isn't needed to survive. When the economy goes down, more people need to steal to afford to feed themselves and their family. Trump is driving the economy down, so crime is increasing, but violent crimes can still go down even as other crimes increase. The desperate won't necessarily go to violent crimes.

Ignorance of the law isn't an excuse for breaking the law, and just because a driver under the influence of drugs and alcohol may not be charged with murder(intent), manslaughter is still a charge.

Just because these AI companies weren't trying to make a criminal piece of software doesn't mean the software shouldn't bring criminal charges.

There is a clear difference between murder and manslaughter charges, so while these AI companies may not be guilty of certain crimes, negligence should still be a reason for them paying $1 billion fines for each case of their products breaking the law. If they can't afford it, then their incompetence should be reason to shut down their business, but also, to bar the executives from working for ten years due to neglecting security in their products.
