"One last comment which is as you get faster, the keyboard starts to make a real difference."

Yep, that is why I continue to use Model Ms and Fs as much as I can, or at least clones like Unicomp's. Rubber dome keyboards are the worst.

Probably made by Philips (or Magnavox) given that the Philips name is on the box and then, like you said, branded by Microsoft. Either way I had no idea these even existed. Cool. Microsoft was known to do this occasionally, like with iRiver making the media player for their Portable Media Center OS.

AI is the pinnacle of human made slop that delivers sloppy seconds on command.

I'm one of those people that learned how to type 60+ WPM the wrong way (had a computer in the home since 1980 when I was 12). Those natural keyboards only made my typing much worse and slower, but like you I have heard others (that know how to type properly) rave about them.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those early PC cards.

The only Microsoft hardware I've ever been impressed with was their mouse. Now that Microsoft is a full-on spyware company I can't imagine ever wanting to own one of these laptops.

Altman is the ultimate dick.

A browser that does not support ad blocking is a non-starter. You simply can't use today's Internet without ad blocking in place.

Just updated. Wow, hideous. Thank goodness one setting turns it off:

In the address bar, type about:config , then press ENTER
Accept any warning
Search for nova
Double-click on "browser.nova.enabled" to change it to "false"

Looks like they started in 2009 and made no money until 2025. Sitting dormant for 16 years?

I don't understand. I'm still on 156.0.1 and my tabs are already rounded? I believe they've been like that for a long time now. How is this new?

I have never understood why Bill Gates is considered some sort of genius to be listened to. He's a ruthless asshole that happened to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right lies, to build a monopoly. Why do people listen to this ass-hat? He has proven time and time again the only thing that matters to Bill Gates is Bill Gates. News outlets giving him a soapbox to spew his crap needs to stop, especially given his relationship with Epstein and his wife's divorce because of it. He's a creepy evil individual that needs to leave this planet now.

These data centers are not being built solely for AI. The real push behind them is to store every damn thing about you. Think Flock on steroids. These leech tech companies need to be put to heel now both through legislation and the public outright rejecting them. The cloud is your enemy people.

You got peanut butter in my chocolate!

"potentially" - don't worry, the fine will be .001% of the total profit for one year as is the norm for these types of trials. The lawyers will get rich, a little left over for the State, and nothing for the peons, you know, the ones actually affected by this.
