My kids are a little older - just learned to read without sounding off the words - so I need to introduce parental controls. But you may see your purchase as an investment: a year from now, the hardware may be worth twice as much.

I have a working emachines desktop with Win98. They'll pry it off my cold, dead hands...

I’m in the process of getting my kids their first PC this Christmas. They’ll both get a mini-PC, with severely restricted Internet access. I’m actually thinking about just letting them connect to the home server where I’d mock the Web sites I pick for them. For this reason, Win11 with its online account requirement is automatically excluded from consideration. I wated to give them Mint anyway, but this was the argument that convinced my wife.

I have an account where I only post after I translated my writing through three different languages and back to English. The original input and the output convey the same message, but have very distinct styles. Randomizing the three languages in my translation sequence introduces enough variety that I doubt current LLM’s can identify me. (Full disclosure: I don’t post any sensitive information under any account; I do it just for fun.)

Bastard…

Dude. I still use 8 of them. And you’ll only take those eight from my cold, dead fingers. Which, apparently, won’t be long…

We have separate bathrooms, but I still have PTSD from the time I changed the skirting boards in hers.

This shouldn’t be a binary question, but a spectrum. And based on the answer you could guess the person’s age pretty accurately.

Why do women have smaller feet? So that they can stand closer to the kitchen sink. But seriously: whoever is free, does the dishes. And we have the microwave rule: when the microwave is running, don’t stand around waiting, do something useful. Obviously, this is applicable not only to the microwave. So, cleaning the kitchen is an ongoing process, but thanks to that we never get to a stage where doing the dishes or cleaning the counter feels like a chore.
