I'm almost positive my uncle is also on a community well, if not his own personally well. There's no outside major pipe line going into the mountains there.

OK, but I've actually lived where I've been on spring water with a sewage connection, and where I've been on well water without one and using septic, and meanwhile I had to get internet via a local WISP. So while the water and sewage needs can sometimes be handled locally, the internet needs cannot and never can be by definition. But also, the internet is much easier to bring in, I can't reasonably send water through the air (though it does arrive that way sometimes) and I certainly don't want to airmail my sewage.

In some scenarios, your best bet would be more cell towers or satellite, especially if the alternative is attempting to blast or bore through rock.

That's really important to Morlocks, but not so much for the rest of us.

Microsoft differentiated itself from slower-moving rivals by being willing to embrace (etc.) the hot new thing. Now Windows is on most desktops and we mostly use office, despite both being shit. (Yesterday, Windows 11 forgot how to pop up right-click menus from the taskbar and office forgot how to open new windows, while I actually had RAM free... I love rebooting!)

As such it makes sense to AI all the things since that's what stupid people have latched onto now, and there's no shortage of those.

The available information isn't terribly specific; but on the surface it doesn't sound any deeper into application internals than it already does.

You can certainly go deeper into etw trace hell; but Task Manager knows how much CPU time you are eating, your memory consumption metrics, your network traffic, and has a (currently less granular) look at your consumption of GPU time. It also having a view of consumed NPU time seems totally analogous for a new flavor of coprocessor. Only one that might involve gory poking at the application(though I'd assume would be more logically pulled from the GPU driver) would be distinguishing "GPU Neural Engine" from GPU utilization generally.
