> Is this an actually serious question? Yes, it is. I just Googled that exact question (and I promise I'm not trying to be obstinate when I say I'm Googling the exact phrase!) and it's automated AI response was to use WiX

Isn’t that kinda the point, though? If you already lack the required knowledge to ask a web-based chat UI (which, as an aside, is almost exclusively referring to ChatGPT Free for the average user) to build a HTML page, how could you possibl

Same here, got stuck in an infinite loop of the booster pad (?) sending slamming me into the wall over and over.

Absolutely! In my opinion, the only way to learn anything in any meaningful way is to actually do the thing . In the example you described, you'll quickly start jumping into "Wait, how do I configure a firewall?" and discove

I have often thought about trying to figure out whatever Win32 API is responsible for focus stealing and neuter it down to something akin to void steal_focus_when_user_is_least_expecting() { // stub, much better :) }

I would love to use Safari more, but unfortunately Facebook Messenger and similar ilk (maybe all messaging apps?) seems to be completely busted on it.

> "adding rich text editing features to a text editor” Yeah, we already had that. In the form of Wordpad. Which was EOL'd. And now we have Notepad with AI features. Notepad was, and always should have been, a simple & light

Glad (/s) to see the MBA-ification of tech companies continues uninterrupted as we enter the second half of the decade.

> So management basically have no clue and want you to figure out how to use AI? This is basically the same story I have heard both my own place of employment and also from a number of friends. There is a "need" for AI usage, e

Further to this - even if the script doesn't contain malware and you're 100% happy to run with this persons' defaults, you probably still shouldn't, as it doesn't teach you what you're actually doing. Presuming

To be fair though, I don't think it's unreasonable for the "average user" to expect that there are sensible defaults for the things they buy / install. Obviously, there's a huge difference between something lik

To preface this, I'm not a Japanese speaker, so perhaps my fears are misplaced, but learning from anime seems like it'd present users with a very particular flavour of Japanese (i.e. one that is much more hyperactive or exaggerate

Good lord, that's awful. I'm definitely firmly in Camp Apple for the most part, but this just looks actually atrocious.

Definitely not an accident - the announcement was made on the TF blog [0] [0] - https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=238809

TF2 definitely looks amazing, but it very much does not perform amazing - at least, not anymore. Source really wasn't built for the amount of particles present in the cosmetics (especially the "Unusuals")

It absolutely grinds my gears - Chrome's profile system and / or Firefox's container tab system work somewhat, but it feels like a bandaid fix.

The institution I work for is a completely Google-based shop, with an Enterprise agreement with Google for data retention and various other requirements. Even for us, Google Takeout is a complete mess that fails all the time, or straight up

> If users could set their own preferred AI bot as the go-to for Siri requests or writing help, like Anthropic’s Claude or — say, xAI’s Grok — it’s doubtful that Musk would be yelling this loudly about the dangers of such an integration.

And I'd be willing to wager an even smaller amount of "users" are actually real people.

Looks like it's affecting anything Bing-related, at least over here in Australia. Same symptoms for Bing and Ecosia.

> The fact that you drew a comparison to BBC is telling. That indeed was a specific choice - you could also state that it's a state-run "propaganda tool". It's also going to have a western (specifically UK) based view

That's not a solid basis for considering something to be "fake", let alone to be banned. I could say that I have read and compared the BBC to Truth Social, and decided that BBC is "fake news"; that doesn't mean
