Far and away, business is the primary use case for PCs, education second, art and design art likely third, and gaming (while always growing) is still niche use case for PCs worldwide.

At best, gaming has over taken media consumption as a PC task but I think that has more to do with media becoming primarily, a mobile device activity in the last decade.

Maybe. That’s certainly not my field of experience. But LLMs will never produce thought the way a human brain does. Certainly not without substantial change in how the tech functions fundamentally.

Large language models are not intelligent. They are predictive text applications with massive dictionaries of circumstantial sentence structures to choose from. Nothing more. They do not feel and do not think for themselves. The only time they do anything is when the API calls them to produce more text with an updated context string.

Ah, the Mr Bean approach.

But they can cook

You aren’t UwUing hard enough during the install.

Mullvad has a bunch of ways to pay by cash or Bitcoin. Several are totally anonymous. No digital service will allow you to pay only once because it’s not free for them to provide said service.

Most VPNs are better as a paid customer anyways. Mullvad is $6 a month and I get nearly my full Internet speed while using it. Invest in your own privacy.

Making fun of a black woman for alopecia is kinda low… You’re better than that. At least I hope so.

In Houston, some days there isn’t a cloud in the sky, then it rains like 2 inches over 30 minutes and then it goes back to clear skies and the water evaporates making the air sticky. Goes from perfect to drenched to perfect to a totally different kind of drenched in an hour’s time. Also the drivers all lose their minds when the weather changes. So all the time… I guess.

Excellent food and a good cultural mix of people. Melting pot of America for sure. Awful heat though. I left there years ago. Though I return to visit old friends.

Holy shit you are pinning my exact experience. I grew up in Fresno CA and have never even seen a red pistachio in my life.

I just don’t believe that at all. The power the US holds has long faded into a shadow of its former self. I’m not even sure Trump could convince BB of the best breakfast spot in manhattan. Regardless of what the POTUS wants to happen in the Middle East, the Middle East will continue to do its thing.

Left-hand side is like saying your left, not mine. You could also say on your left but then again, English has lots of ways to say lots of things.

This is just not true… Tuna fish is the stuff in a can. Tuna filet is a filet of tuna. Tuna is the live or freshly caught fish from the ocean. Anything not actually made of tuna is imitation tuna or tuna flavored or artificial tuna.

But also, what’s wrong with having any of those things? I’d argue it’s better to have those things with less developer crunch. We don’t need children to form “attachments” to video game franchises. That just breeds loyalty to corporations. We need games that are developed with love and care by developers who treat their employees and customers humanely. Whatever that looks like, we want that.

It’s not a foreign language in English speaking countries…

Frys electronics is a good bet too they’re a more recent shutdown that might be more relevant than a blockbuster or toys r us

I’m sorry but, the 80s were more than a couple of decades ago. 1986 was 40 years ago.

Also 20 years ago this was still an issue. Plasma screen TVs were becoming accessible to consumers and surround sound was taking off in the home video space. TV was mixed for surround cinematic but not everyone had a surround setup yet. They had to write laws that said the tv commercials couldn’t be louder than the main content of the channel (though these laws were largely unenforced).

It also does not explicitly mean they are fucking… IVF is pretty common.
