      Something I learned today. Microsoft Office Clipboard viewer has changed. Now you need to press Windows & V to bring up something called Clipboard History which does exactly the same thing as the old Clipboard viewer except that you need to enable it first. Why? Who knows, but it’s not exactly JAWS-friendly. It took me several attempts to activate it. Not that I use this feature very often but I hope I don’t need to enable it every time I want to use it.

        key role of IBM's technology in the Holocaust genocide committed by the German Nazi regime, by facilitating the regime's generation and tabulation of punched cards for national census data, military logistics, ghetto statistics, train traffic management, and concentration camp capacity [2]

              Elkjøp, likely the largest Norwegian based electronics store, is now running ads for Copilot where they speak about how great Recall is. Likely the ad is paid for by Microsoft.

              They show the picture below and they talk of how great it is that the machine remembers everything you have done with it (and has the pictures to prove it!).

              I guess when you make something that most people do not want, you just push it harder.

                  AI is exposing the deep absurdity of late capitalism. Much of the economy in the West consists of what Graeber called bullshit jobs which are roles that even people performing them struggle to justify. I’d argue these types of jobs are uniquely vulnerable to replacement by AI.

The 2022 law requires internet companies to aggressively combat hate speech and misinformation. The U.S. government has condemned the move, and while Musk has not as yet addressed it, he has shared an X post advocating for a U.S. bill that would allow companies to sue foreign entities over censorship claims.

It's incredibly damaging to the environment, expensive, and the way it's currently being used isn't respectful of privacy nor does it improve the well-being of peoples' lives. Now it's being shoved into pretty much everything.

                                                                                      The oxidation on the outside of the FDD, clearly indicates electrolytic capacitors inside which should not be electrified.

                                                                                      If I really want to I can even repair the Picasso 96. The video IC is just a Cyrus logic IIRC
