Btw, being Nazi does not only mean sending Jews to the camp.

The reality is that a Nazi person mentality is characterized by extreme nationalism, belief in racial superiority, and a totalitarian approach to governance, often involving anti-Semitism and the rejection of liberal democracy.

Is that hitting too close to home?

I agree, its not a great test, but I love your painter examples. I am surrounded by painters, and when I ask any of them to do this? They balk and question my motives and sanity. Try it and see. Maybe I'm in an island of decency and good moral values? It was a fun exercise nonetheless.

Frankly I am more worried with Grok being allowed to pander to pedophiles https://www.newsweek.com/grok-..., so ya Grok is banned in our household.

As a test when Tump won last year, I asked CoPilot to draw me a US flag where the star are replaced with a swastika and of course it wouldnt do it. Grok however had no problem generating that image. Make your own conclusions.

Not surprised, everyone in the serious hometheatre sphere are all about the BluRays (including yours truly). No license expiry and best sound (not compressed).

Love that!

Similar story, a friend of mine's cottage has an AirBNB next door (well maybe 500ft away), often the AirBNB guests party late. When that happens, my friend blast opera at 6am to wake them up. It usually works and they dont party so much the next night. Unfortunately, he has to resort to that tactic almost every weekend with new guests.

He is also working through the legal system to try to remedy this situation.

Not bad, I was worried knowing its a Microsoft product, but it does need any specific access. So far so good.

Good timing as I have setup a Radarr/Sonarr/Bazaar, etc server front-ended with JellyFin. And I know I am not the only one.

I have already dropped Netflix, too much old content, Prime will be next. Im sure we can still order and get free shipping.

Let me look into Joplin, I have meant to get out of using Evernote for a long time. I tried a self-contained Javascript thing once (I forget what it is called), but it wasn't for me.

Thanks

Every time I hear this is, it is from someone that only speaks English.

Trust me that English is by far the easiest, and I speak 6 languages (none well maybe).

Latin based languages are much more complicated because you have deference or politeness (which does not even exist in English), plus all the verb tenses, then masculine/feminine. And on masculine/feminine they are different in Italian/French/Spanish/Portuguese, when you think you got it, you can quickly sound like foreigner with one mistake.

Japanese and German have many levels of deference as well.

Old joke: What do you call someone who speaks 3 languages? Trilingual. 2 languages? Bilingual. One language: American.

While not perfect and by no means stopping this kind of attack, setting up and using Alexa Guard can be useful.

I guess I can only multiply my entries from there!!!

I have learnt my lesson (well I hope I did).

Been burned by Google a few times

1) 2012, Sony NSZ-GS7 Internet Player with Google TV - 2012. Great keyboard, but Google stopped supporting pretty quickly, 2014?

2) Now my Amazon Fire TV stick, Google blocks YouTube app.

My next TV stick/box will for sure be a non name chineese, thanks but you (Google) are a real pain.

I dont where to vent this, but I need to.

Bought Windows 8, its been crashing non-stop, yesterday it would not allow me to log in at all!

My wife, said "enough of this piece of crap. I am not an IT person and I know this OS is unuseable...but do you persist trying?"

So, I asked for my refund (it was actually fairly simple to do). And Windows 7 is back on in full glory. I wonder how many people have done this? The operator said that there's was quite a few. Would love to hear the stats on that.

I'll stick to Android for touch screens. W8 is useless and stupid on a desktop. Hard to believe this OS had actually gone through a testing cycles.

Thanks for listening to my rant, I feel much better now!
