Did being gamblers make them successful, or just memorable? Nobody cares about all the times Goliath won, after all.

Microsoft seems to have stripped away mentions of the “Copilot” brand in the Windows Insider version of the Notepad app. The Copilot button in the toolbar is gone, and instead, you’ll find a writing icon which will present you AI-powered writing assistance, such as rewrite, summarize, tone modification, format configuration, and more. Additionally, “AI features” in Notepad settings has been renamed to “Advanced features” and it allows users to toggle off AI capabilities within the app.

Bending Spoons identifies a popular product it thinks it can improve inside and out

Basically, they didn’t do this: (I’m on Android, so I don’t know what the options look like in iOS, but they should be identical.)

Is there anyone in the open source office suite space that has their shit together? I was looking for alternatives now that I'm committed to migrating away from Microsoft, and it feels like moving from one room where everything's on fire to... another room where everything's also on fire.

I don't know much about Texas. Is this meaningfully different from how it is now?

Based on the picture, it only has one

“Telegram is widely used for influence operations, particularly by state actors such as Russia, who invested heavily in information warfare on the channel.” WhatsApp and Telegram are among platforms with consistently expensive fake accounts, averaging $1.02 and $0.89 respectively. … Small vendors resell and broker existing accounts, or manually create and “farm” accounts. The larger players will provide a one-stop shop and offer bulk order services for follower numbers or fake accounts, and even have customer support. A 2022 study co-authored by Dek showed that around ten Euros on average (just over ten US dollars) can buy some 90,000 fake views or 200 fake comments for a typical social media post. I’m glad that the fediverse is mostly humans and not corpo-bots, but I think this is mostly because it’s not popular enough to be a target yet. We have manual sign-ups and instance-level blocking, but I wonder if that would be enough if the botters really decide they want a piece of us.

Looking through reviews and official specs, they are infuriatingly vague about what the refresh rate actually is. It’s all “super refresh technology” and “four different modes”, which is about as meaningful as “natural flavors” on food packaging.

The latency with VNC is very little. The main bottleneck is the low refresh rate and the lag of my old E-ink tablet. This can be a much better experience with a newer tablet with higher refresh rate. What refresh would we need to hit with e-ink monitors for this to be a viable alternative?

What the judge should have done is threaten to cut the domain name in half and see who was willing to give up their claim out of motherly love.

The video codec was AV1. Saved you a click.

Trying to figure out what is up with that formatting.

Hundreds of thousands of internet strangers is differently from lived experience. I take the author’s opinion more seriously because they went out and tried it for themselves.

At the moment the only fix is likely a reimage, unless you can get to the registry to make some edits or deploy a Powershell script to delay the launch of Explorer.exe until the system is ready for it. How has Satya Nadella not been fired for this dumpster fire of a rollout?

Guys, I don’t think we should use this for work. It’s not safe.
