Brainwashing can only go so far. At some point, (such as targeting civilian children) any sane soldier will crack and say “No”.

He can’t monetise on PeerTube. He will be able to get sponsors, but YouTube revenue will dry up.

Feudalism is based on Chivalry where the Lords have a mutual responsibility to their subjects and serfs.

They are not trying to create feudal kingdoms, they are trying to establish little dictatorships.

I’m pretty sure he is doing it on purpose now.

He is trying to destroy the country. No one can be that stupid.

I don’t see a bio security camera.

All I see is someone’s new camping trailer. It probably already has a dual battery system preinstalled!

Me too, and Copilot is disabled on my work computer (and then magically reenabling itself)

Please tell me how to disable Data Detectors on MacOS, sometimes a number is just a numerical string and is not a Phone number; actually it it quite unusual for it to ever be a phone number. Even if it is a phone number, I would love to be able to just copy and paste it without it trying to connect to my phone and prank call some poor sucker.

Substitute “Pie” “Couches”

Sounds like it was using DCAU YouTube videos as training data.

I was always advised that “NATO standard” was instant coffee with 2 sugars and milk.

Very glad to hear that you are OK.

We all make mistakes, there are always surprises from road users (including pedestrians, animals, cyclists) behaving in ways you do not expect.

**Number one rule of driving; Don’t try to occupy the same space as someone else.

Number two rule of driving; Always assume road users are all idiots…

Number three rule of driving; …including yourself.**

All the driver-assistance systems in the world cannot help you there, because they are also programmed by idiots.

This can be paired with the “Erase all Data” option in “FaceID and Passcode” settings to add another level of security.

Just remember to play dumb when you “accidentally” incorrectly enter your passcode 10 times in a row and to make sure you have a recent backup that you are able to access.

This reminds me of when I got Spore on Optical disc for my (brand new at the time) Intel iMac. The disc was ISO9660 with both Joliet and HFS extensions, so if you put it in Windows, it would show up natively and if you put it in a Mac, it would also be native.

After a few games in MacOSX I was disappointed with the performance so I started to dig and realised it was the Windows Binary with some sort of WINE-like translation layer. I assumed it would run better natively in Windows.

I installed Bootcamp and a stripped-down version of Windows Vista and then installed the native Windows version. It installed a Root kit that broke most of Vistas security and the game ran even worse and crashed constantly.

I don’t think that Microsoft deserves all the blame for games running like shit natively. The users who pirate games and the studios who don’t trust Windows users to not pirate games deserve the blame as well.

Microsoft (and Post-Jobs Apple) definitely do deserve a lot of blame for allowing their platforms to get so bloated with so many features that users don’t want. Copilot should have been laughed out of the boardroom and Apple Intelligence is an underperforming, overly obnoxious know-nothing know-it-all.
