Round 2!

Best movie mash-up

if you remember using a cracked copy of nero to burn other cracked software onto cd, remember to do your gentle back stretches today

You don't have to be a "nerd" to buy your own Home Computer. Capabilities range from organizing recipes to playing Sports Games. With a compatible Sound Card, your Home Computer can even "whistle" a tune! One thing it definitely will not do, however, is give you a blow job

Sometimes I see a spider up high on a wall in the house, and I'm like "hey bud, are you lost? is there food up there? whatcha up to?"

It's funny how Christians think Darwin is the equivalent of Jesus/Bible to Atheists. Okay, I don't care what Darwin said on his deathbed because he did not influence my morality system, and I don't worship him. That's not a gotcha.

If you've been watching my videos for a while, you may have noticed this Silvertone radio in the set. It's an AM/FM set from 1952.

I restored it when I was in high school (I think) by replacing its capacitors but never got into the habit of using it since its FM reception was a bit spotty.

Well I finally hooked up a decent antenna to it and while it's still not able to tune in perfectly well, it's been a pleasure to use this again!

Elon freaking Musk not being able to set up his own PC and whining for IT help on Twitter is the most grandpa shit I’ve ever seen in public.

Got too many toolbars and animated icon sets too, PawPaw? Virus = very yes?

So glad we’ve turned over all our lives to these people.

People who claim private companies are more efficient than the government have never tried to talk to their insurance company

@Soxxxe He mostly uses Apple products and has mentioned Linux a few times, but he may needs to use some accounting or some crap software that only runs on Windows. So, he bought a Dell or something from Amazon laptop section, hoping for a quick setup. He wants to keep his data private on that laptop, but Microsoft has other ideas, including AI that is forced on everyone. So now he set Microsoft on fire. Just too funny

A friend of mine got published! She wrote the cephalopod section and I'm really happy for her. Her relationship with words astounds me and never ceases to impress!

Warren Buffett's son Howard has given $500M to Ukraine — he warns the US is making a historic mistake by pulling its support

The thing driving the need for the bigger more power and water hungry data centres is AI. Sparkling autocarrot. Where as a machine in a rack full of hard disks might consume a couple of hundred watts. A machine loaded up with a typical load of 8 "AI accelerators" can be pulling in the region of 5kw. Over an order of magnitude more power than the energy needed to store the lifes photos of hundreds of people.

And why ? To what end?

I've worked in this industry for over a quarter of a century.

At no point have I found myself thinking "I wish I could just ask the computer to write this email for me" "I wish the computer could write my code for me". MS is adding co pilot function to lots of products. Not as opt in. But opt out. And it's a right hassle to turn it off? Why? So someone can ask it to right a longer email from a prompt that the recipient can then ask the AI to summarise for them ?
