"...in a few years time" that means it's the next CEO who will have to worry about that

We have "regulations" for child pornography and they work. Unsanctioned AI generated media should be considered the same as child pornography.

Great for pretty much every outdoor activity. If you went outside, you would have known.

why would you want Clippy to follow you everywhere?

acrowhat? does anyone still use that junk now that everything can print into PDFs?

I can't really wrap my head around one thing. I start a program in Windows 11, and the lowest part of the program's window gets placed UNDER the Windows taskbar. For fucks sake, its 2024 and this crap worked better 30 years ago in Windows 95!

..maybe it's a known port for some other service then

nah, had been running sshd on something like 53491 for ages and never received a single unwanted connection attemp... it's simply not efficient for malware to scan ALL service ports - scanning just the known ports is a lot faster and obviously will get better results, because more hosts will get scanned in the given time

run your sshd on a random high port then.. or better yet, put it behind wireguard - nobody will ever know that you are even running wireguard

Having played BG1 & BG2 with all expansion packs back when they came out, the original DUOLOGY (there was no trilogy before BG3) pales in comparison to BG3. Compared to BG3, the old games contained way too much filler content - way too many recycled enemy encounters a way too many generic and pointless quests. I am a huge fan of the old BG series, NWN1, Icewind Dale series, DAO etc, but after spending roughly 300 hours with BG3, it made it painfully obvious just how much of the old games is made of pointless filler. In BG3, every quest and every enemy encounter has a meaning. You are fighting *new* enemies all the time. You don't need to kill 300 goblins to level up - you level up by progressing the story. The is no grind - just awesome new content behind every corner.

I started playing with Linux as a teenager, back in the RedHat 5.1 days, around 1998. I have used it as my main desktop, or dual-booted between Linux and Windows 98-2000-XP. Back then, I had a lot of time to waste, troubleshooting hardware (remember internal hardware modems?), and just playing with the system. Why would I use just an email client when I could set up fetchmail, qmail, spamassassin and mutt to accomplish the same, right ? Went from RedHat, to Slackware, to Ubuntu, to Arch. But the times have changed - I have a job, kids, and I really don't have the time to struggle with Linux anymore. I've tried a couple of modern distributions, but ended troubleshooting the same problems I encountered 15 years ago ! I use Windows 7 on my desktop exclusively. It just works, is stable, and honestly is the best desktop OS I have ever used. I'm running Linux where it thrives most - DD-WRT on my router, Ubuntu on my tiny odroid-u2 "server", and XBMCbuntu on my HTPC. I can not imagine running anything else on these devices.

are those CFLs instant on ? do they produce an equal spectrum of light ? if you manage to break them, can you walk around safely without exposing yourself to mercury vapors ? No ? Well, I'll buy incandescent even if it costs 3times as much as CFL.

"As of 13-Oct-07 fit-PC has been "slashdotted" (article on it published in Slashdot), so we observed unexpected demand peak. Currently we are out of stock. We expect to resume stock beginning of December '07. We apologize for the inconvenience." ..seems it worked..
