Well there's no shortage of those, and they're unusually cheaper too (unless they're specced out). I prefer a thin silent one myself, so I welcome this innovation.

That's just embarrassing.

It's not that uncharacteristic. Mono is a fully open source project they didn't create, didn't really work on, and one they can't extract any value from. So this is basically a gesture that doesn't cost them anything, but at the same time it doesn't do much except generate a headline.

Someone found a way to weaponise bikeshedding.

Just have NAS A send a rocket with the data to NAS B.

By having the stupid idea of existing next to Russia (or a similar country).

I believe they're called "logicool" in Japan. So maybe it's some form of logo consolidation.

Did it end up bitter?

They didn't just start calling it AI recently. It's literally the academic term that has been used for almost 70 years.

The term "AI" could be attributed to John McCarthy of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), which Marvin Minsky (Carnegie-Mellon University) defines as "the construction of computer programs that engage in tasks that are currently more satisfactorily performed by human beings because they require high-level mental processes such as: perceptual learning, memory organization and critical reasoning. The summer 1956 conference at Dartmouth College (funded by the Rockefeller Institute) is considered the founder of the discipline.

How did you pay with PayPal on AliExpress? They haven't supported it in years?

They'd tell you what the movie was, but they'd have to search for it and don't want to waste an hour.

Jokes aside, I believe them, I spent close to an hour recently finding a YouTube I knew existed but I could only remember vague details. Ended up having crawl back months though my YouTube history in the end.

It used to be that you could just describe a movie to Google like "movie where " and it would be really good at finding that movie even if it was some obscure one. Now if you're trying to find that one movie you saw years ago where you just remember one scene, be prepared to spend that hour.

I remember some 10-15 years ago when I'd look at the y windows website every couple of months hoping for some news of progress, simply because I was sick of x11 being so crappy. I hated it, it was so fiddly, it didn't work right, I just wanted something that worked.
So you can imagine how happy I was when Wayland started taking off. Here was the promise of something better, something that just worked, it sounded amazing. And yet, today I'm still running xorg and I will be for the foreseeable future.

The reason is simply that in the time passed xorg just became usable, I don't have to think about it, it works reliability, it has all the features I need and I hardly ever have to touch it. Meanwhile, I log into my Wayland session and instantly 3 or 4 of the applications I use daily either don't work or act weird. I go and try and fix the issues and I'm told to just accept it, or that I actually don't exist because Wayland works perfectly for everyone. And I'm not even using an Nvidia card, just plain Radeon.

So I quit and go back to what works. Maybe in a couple of years, until then: no thanks.
