You people are all the same. You get a good faith response, and you respond with hate and anger. That's a lot of baggage to carry around.
We too have seen some negative issues with wind turbines in the NY/NJ region. When they fail, they tend to do so in a rather catestrophic manner tossing shrapnel, in our case, in to surrounding waterways where it kills or at least injures anything that comes in contact with the shards.
Except, based on Reddit, many of the people canceling were canceling their FREE ChatGPT accounts. I found that funny. If anything, a free account was hurting the company as much as a $20/mo account was benefiting them.
A a fellow old fart, I completely agree. Even minor number was stable, odd was dev as I recall.
You've summed up how my journey to learn Unix and Linux began. In the early days of the internet we used SLIP or PPP connections, and usually that came with a shell account (typically some BSD variant). I was a young tech working primarily on DOS, Windows 3.1, and OS/2. I started playing around with that shell account. I tried to figure out how to display the contents of a text file. I figured out many *mix commands were two letters, and eventually typed "vi" and pressed enter. I had to call my ISP tech support and described what I did. The next day I stopped by Borders and bought a copy of "Teach Yourself Unix..."
Funnier read than I expected. I may steal the “journalist” line. That was fantastic.
Bingo. Financial strain, delaying starting families for a career, and abortion are the real factors we have a declining population. Two of those three are really uncomfortable for many to confront though, so it's easier to point the finger elsewhere.
You cant rely on illegal immigration to prop up falling birth rates. That's absurd. If we're concerned with why we have a population decline, we should be looking at falling birth rates, not importing bodies.
Tell me you have zero idea how financial markets work without telling me you have zero idea how financial markets work.
I read more but w than I have in my past 50-some years. The difference for me was an electronic device, and a well known one you’ve certainly heard of, and some of you probably hate. It’s so easy to have a dozen or more books with me, they don’t weigh a ton, and I don’t need to worry about needing light to read by. I read an average of 20-25 books per year now. It’s replaced a fair bit of tv/movies/gaming for me.
Yes, I saw crisp text on my 1024x768 LCD display a quarter century ago. But you missed the next part of the sentence, "even at small sizes". As text gets smaller you reach a point where it is no longer clear. On an 8k display even the smallest sizes are pin sharp. They are a bit fuzzy on 4k (as I use at work) and would be headache-inducing mush if you tried to show such tiny text on a 1920x1080 display.
Back in the day there were hand-created bitmap fonts for crisp display at small sizes. Nowadays, for better or worse almost every application uses outline fonts, which look a bit jaggy if rendered without anti-aliasing ("font smoothing") and a bit fuzzy with it. Only on a very high DPI display is this completely unnoticeable. My laptop is 4k and I am very happy with it, but to make best use of a 32 inch screen a higher pixel density is better.
I'm posting this from my home PC with Dell's 8k monitor. It's nice to see completely crisp text, even at small sizes, and certainly a noticeable quality improvement from 4k. But that's because I am sitting a few inches away. I recently bought a new television, and while I was tempted to pick up a cheap used 8k model, in practice it would make no difference when viewing it from the sofa.
Even Dell seems to have retreated from 8k, however. Their newer top-end monitor has a roughly 6k horizontal resolution.
It's been a business doing pleasure with you.
