The government controls what they want you to see and sometimes blurs things out to let others know that we know what you’re hiding. ei Russian missile sites.

I know the credit cards have chips in them but never took a closer look. Sure enough, there’s a little chip imbedded behind the metal contacts.
Wow. Very similar to the chip they implant when you get the COVID vaccine!

I was looking at a lot of his stuff (linus) when I was building my new PC and that guy came off as such a big fucking AMD shill lol.
In the end I stuck with nvidia.
My PC is a full AMD build and I have nothing bad to say about it, it’s performance or how it performs compared to Intel/Nvidia builds.

They did up their game lately, but the way Linus was unapologetically shilling for them so hard turned me off.
In the end, it was also about me just being more familiar with NVIDA/intel.
I could probably have saved some money with an AMD build.

Well, familiarity is a plus. I’ve run AMD CPUs for quite long, but always with Nvidia cards.
A couple years ago I decided to do a full AMD build so the ecosystem helped itseld. Motherboard, drivers, data pipes, RAM access, even the monitor Vsync, all that stuff being managed by a single brand makes sense to me, and it works very fine. -
Damn. Look at the directory listing for c:\windows for Windows 1.04.
That’s all there was to it.

Was BASIC part of MS DOS? How about that game with the gorrillas throwing bananas?

It would have been. From what I understand, Windows 1 wasn’t much more than a glorified menu system and a shared clipboard.
A search tells me the gorilla game came out in 1990. You can play it here:

@Hog that’s it. That and mine sweeper. People were fired at work for playing those games. Solitaire and Mahjongg were big ones to.

vi was written in 1976.
And 10 years later it was surpassed by a far superior editor!!!
Ok boomer!!!

Don’t worry, you’ll be able to go back to manual-save-only Notepad if you want.
OMG. Auto-save now in Notepad. What’s next? AI integration?

Is notepad becoming too powerful?

Google thinks Shorts-style videos in the Play Store will supercharge app discovery
Yeah that’s exactly what it needs. I was starting to worry I could still see the actual search results even with the ads, “limited time events”, more ads, “you might also like”, and “similar apps” sections crammed into the search results.
