I read that as the AI's were gaming now. I can just see MOLT book filled with ravings by AI's who "P)WN3D" meatsacks around the world in games. I might almost feel better that it was an AI vs knowing an 11 year old korean girl just smoked me for the 10th time today...

Well 450 million years was a good run. As soon as there is some perceived value to humans pythons will be hunted to extinction. Humanity killed off inumerable species for a good looking jacket. I can only imagine what will happen if pythons can make you thin....

Why is the compter the problem ? It seem pretty obvious that the issue lies in the curriculum and how the tools are used. Educators figured that just having a computer would promote learning...they were wrong. Now the same educators are convinced that just having books will promote learning...again they are wrong. Modern education has become indoctrination and lacks critical thinking tools because that would enable the students to realize what a shit sandwich they were being fed.

some end in .com but oh god yes I HATE the term app.

I used the hell out of MS Works. It did what I needed quickly and without the HUGE bloat of M$Office and Word. Though I came from a GML background so it was easy...

LMAO...I wish I had mod points...you deserve it.

I'm with you brother, whitespace is overrated!

I also went to take a look at his history. His posts were very sporadic but not too bad until the time of the Covid lockdowns (2020):

... and progress downwards from there. Pretty scary progression.

They are now. But they used to be a solid brand that you could get at Costco. I think back in the 90s they even sold computer monitors.

Thanks for the box recommendation. Does a Mi Box work with local media (on a NAS)? I switched from Roku (tired of the ads and constantly added apps) to Apple, which solved those annoyances, but it doesn't play media off the local network.

The last Vizio I bought wouldn't let you past the screen-covering EULA without signing in or creating an account. Which is why it went back to the store and it's the last Vizio will ever buy. It also lacked a sleep button on the remote... and required 8 button presses EACH time you wanted to use the sleep feature.

Years ago, they were my favorite brand of TV, worth paying a bit extra for. Never again. I'm so tired of the enshittification.

"You are too smart to be a cop...."

LMAO That is what they tell the ID10T's that can't be trusted with gun, badge or any responsibilty. Almost any reputable force requires a degree and advancement requires a higher degree. I am not saying a degree shows intelligence or more importantly common-sense, but I'd say your "buddies" might be more suited for the Marines.

We need a burn-down pin. When entered performs a factory reset.

They act like dynamic pricing is a new thing ? NOT..

It was the standard for almost the entire human history. There were no price tags and you haggled for a discount, so if you sucked you paid more. If the merchant thought you were a rube you paid more...

Now that Chuck is gone William Shatner "Capt. Kirk", and Clint Eastwood are the last super heroes from my childhood.
Getting old sucks....

Maybe one will have a temper tantrum and generate complaints upstream, complete with accusations and fabricated evidence of the other largest users getting them blocked in order to free up bandwidth. I read somthing like that somewhere.
