ok, that wasYour callousness to the concerns of your own employees is concerning - Slashdot truncated the headline.

after they got caught auto-adding AI.

Did they "auto-add AI"? My impression was that they were starting to look at doing this - but not on this scale - but realised pretty much from the start that a lot of people did not want it so they offered an Opt-Out.
btw, this 4GB won't be a one-time "thing", there will be bugs found and updates provided.

Given what happened at the end of 2025/ start of 2026 it looks as though the PRC overlords struck back.
(I got that link from another comment here)
Of course a non-affiliated Notepad++ could just as easily be carrying any kind of malware from any state-sponsored grouping, has anyone had the chance to look at the source?

poor quality software?

An alternative explanation would be that Copilot itself was responsible.

Well in my case, my Graphics adapter does not offer Display Port and I'm not about to buy a new one at current prices. My monitor supports both and this will be good news for me - once it comes.

GameStop is preparing an offer for eBay is from two days ago, and some of the comments there were actually appropriate.

Because: CEO Ryan Cohen has signalled interest in large-scale acquisitions to grow GameStop into a significantly larger business. Cohen’s compensation package includes incentives tied to achieving a $100 billion market valuation.

You're looking at this the wrong way, the 2017 - and subsequent - platform(s) got it right, but the Las Vegas bookmakers either bribed the predicted top 4 jockeys to slow up a bit or they manipulated the top 4 predictions in the first place. Let's hear it for conspiracy theories!

At least Israel's bombing of the Tehran synagogue does not appear to have been double-tap, and killing civilians was not their primary aim. They claimed they were trying to kill some political or military figure, although I have not seen any names named so that could just be garbage.

If Trump wanted there would be literal rivers of blood in Iran. Instead it's only the odd supreme leader or 2 and some ancillary support staff pushing up daisies.

What about the 150+ Grade School kids who were at the business end of a Tomahawk missile on about the first day of the US's attack? The Revolutionary Guard had been stationed there around a decade earlier and the US had never got around to updating their maps.

I believe there was specific mention of horses (or horse-drawn carriages) as well, it seemed fairly obvious that the variance was down to inflation.

I was in a motel somewhere on the Maryland / Pennsylvania border a couple of decades ago, and they had the penalties for skipping without paying the bill in my room. It was something along the lines of: a $50 fine or a year inside prison. (I made those figures up because I can't remember the real ones, but it came down to pocket money or a long sentence).

damn, I forgot the other ones.
There is a mutation which increases the likelihood of surviving Bubonic Plague. Not a big deal nowadays but up until 330 years ago it made a really big difference.
When Covid first started and the Chinese were not being so defensive about it, their data indicated that people with certain blood groups were far more likely to die than people with other blood types. As it happens, my blood group was "low risk" and - even though I was frequently exposed to people who had it - it took almost three years before I caught it myself, and then it was over in around a week. Of course the virus itself had mutated far away from the original version - it turns out that killing (or incapacitating) the host is not a good strategy for a virus and newer variations were less dangerous.

Don't play with things you don't understand.
Take sickle cell anaemia for example. It is an extremely unpleasant - and life shortening - condition, but the underlying gene mutation protects against Malaria. If someone inherits the gene from one parent, they have the Malaria protection. If they inherit from both parents, bad news. All this has been known for some time now, and nowadays the gene is probably more trouble than it's worth, except in areas where Malaria is endemic.

What about the Evil Bit? How do they handle that? (nowadays usage of a Google domain should act as a substitute).
