True, but the X is not part of the version number, it’s part of the name. The name of the OS was OS 10. Where the X is meant to be pronounced 10.
The version number comes after. Obviously OS/2 also had version numbers, but the 2 was not part of the version number.

Obviously you have memory. Which is a foundation for consciousness.

If you don’t get the right signals, it definitely is detrimental to having the right behavior.
Regarding thirst it is well known that elderly people don’t feel thirst to drink as much as they should.
This harms the kidneys and people may actually die earlier from such a thing.

I am not aware that this can be trained. You should ask a professional, if you urine is dark yellow you should definitely drink more water.

The first version of Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server 1.0,

Weird that Apple has renamed OS X to Mac OS, my first thought opening the link to statcounter was NO WAY 8+% use an OS that was discontinued 25 years ago.

WTF Apple?

Opening Wikipedia it says Mac OS was introduced in 2001!?!?!!??
WTF? That’s the year it was discontinued!!

macOS (previously OS X and originally Mac OS X

Mac OS X succeeded the classic Mac OS, the primary Macintosh operating system from 1984 to 2001.

For fucks sake! No it’s not “classic Mac OS”, it’s Mac OS. It was never named classic. Just because Apple fucks up doesn’t change the name of the original Mac OS.
And no OS X did not maintain the same version number for decades. It was introduced as OS X 1.0, 10 is not a version number, it’s part of the name like with OS/2 where the number is also not a version number but is part of the name, and describes something completely different, namely that it was meant as the default OS for IBM PS/2 computers.

Sorry for the rant, but the stupidity of Apple removing the X from the name and not distinguishing properly between the original Mac OS and the new macOS is just such a piss poor decision IMO.
For instance Mac OS does not have multitasking! But macOS does.

There are absolutely degrees of consciousness.

Pretty normal stuff

For humans it is normal. The “simple” function as you call it, is actually the foundation for consciousness.

Brain hunger is a very good description IMO for what is probably a conditioned unhealthy dependency.

I think this is the general formula:
The Serotonin decides (expected reward). The expectation of biggest reward in the shortest span of time with the least amount of effort and sacrifice of other things.
If time is prolonged, the reward needs to be bigger.

Being hungry moves you towards the food, not being hungry will move you towards the TV show.
If he is not that hungry he might choose the TV, but if he gets hungry while watching he might change his mind and go for the food, despite being in the middle of the show.

If money is short the dish will decline in priority, especially for people with functioning frontal lobes.
But there can be many many factors that are weighed not consciously but emotionally. Research shows we are way more guided by emotions than we think, we do what our emotions tell us, and then we rationalize it afterwards to convince our consciousness that it was in control all the time, despite it wasn’t.
A significant part of our emotional state is actually controlled by bacteria in our stomach! So it is not entirely the brain alone as another comment claims. But it is signals that are sent to the brain, so in that way the brain remains the ultimate decision maker.

Ignorance is being uninformed.
Stupidity is to either ignore or not understand or to intentionally (willfully) stay uninformed.

Goddam that’s smooth. 😎

Thank you. 👍 Yes that works, I never thought about it as a way to go in low performance mode.

but you don’t have to go to a specific menu for it. Just press and walk away.

IDK why you need to do that, I use a hotkey on my keyboard.
So regarding speaking for yourself, how about you respect that not everyone do like you do, but your way is the only kind of hardware that exist.
I am not the arrogant one here, you are.

A physical power key on a desktop computer should physically shut off power IMO, but that option doesn’t exist anymore. And from an energy preserving perspective that is bad.

It resets wifi settings and a favorite setting you can make to start a combo program faster, like washing faster or more thoroughly in the bottom drawer. And it resets 2 settings for water.
So quite annoying to have to do all that shit again, except for the wifi which is completely useless, and doesn’t have a single function to make it worth it.

IDK I think resident evil sounds like a more interesting title anyway.
Biohazard is just a generic term, and sounds pretty lame for a game title IMO.

That switch is hard to reach, and basically useless, it’s better to unplug the cable.

The power button does a graceful shutdown

Which is pretty useless, because you normally shut down through software, and if you can’t do that, the system has likely crashed anyway, so it’s better to shut down fast, than having a crashed program causing damage.

That’s exactly how our stupid Siemens dishwasher works. You have to press the power button for ½ a second, and then it only shows that it registered when you release it!
But if you press it for 3 seconds you make a factory reset.
And you have to press the power button first before you can do anything!?!?
Why not just allow people to choose the program they want, and have it turn on with that?

I have a tendency to press those buttons way harder than necessary, because it feels like they aren’t working! 🤡
Last time I ever buy anything from Siemens, it’s simply too demented.

Absolutely this. Why do I have to press the power button for 3 seconds to force it to shut down?
If I made a bad overclock that could fry my system, I want it to shut off immediately!!
In the good old days, we had a REAL power button on the front of our desktop computers, that physically shut off power to the PSU.
And the computer didn’t use any power when not used.
This idea of pressing a button for x seconds before it does what it should have done instantly is moronic IMO.

3 The overall replication process should sustain itself for an indefinite amount of iterations

Indefinite can mean both not determined or infinite.
It can not make infinite of course, because at some point the Universe according to current standard model will cool out.

But apart from that no problem, as long as the physical conditions exist to support it.

In the 80’s we had games to learn touch typing that were very helpful and also quite fun, compared to old school methods.
Here’s a site that claims to have that sort of games:

Warning I have no idea if these are good, it’s just a random site a search came up with.
