Oh crap, I gotta contact my online company about this.

Sounds like Cohost is circling the bowl, too. And what happened to that social network started by two teenage girls? There were so many of these damn things I couldn’t keep track of it all. It was like the web search industry before the Google meteor struck.

Gee, who ever thought there would be racist content from a site owned by Apartheid Boy? And of course, he probably denies it exists in spite of clear evidence to the contrary. He literally defamed the Anti-Defamation League when they called him out on him jerking it to his Nazi fantasies. Then I think he cried to his mommy, who looks like the Bride of Frankenstein.

I was saying this over on YouTube… it’s his responsibility to report tech developments accurately and responsibly, because today’s tech developments are tomorrow’s history. Future nerds need to know the score! Scooty-Puff Junior suuuuuuuucks!

But they can’t sell you more shit if they didn’t have planned obsolescence baked in!
(It’s a little sobering realizing that technology is old enough to be, you know, OLD. Nothing about this is novel to anybody anymore. We’re way, way past being impressed by two lines batting a dot around.)

Not so smart to buy, it would seem!

“Gemini, set an alert for when Google dumps you and goes back to the assistant.”

Is this gonna be one of those tech bandwagon things that Google fails at so consistently? You know, like Google phones, Google Plus, Google Pay, Google Stadia, Google Your Poodle, etc.

Amazon’s no longer any good at shipping, and Google’s no longer any good at searching. What a terrible year to be a tech nerd.

What, did ChatGPT find an algorithm that writes irresponsible “both sides are equally as bad” news articles faster and better than the New York Times? I can see why that’d rattle their cage. You know, the bird cage lined with copies of the New York Times.

I can’t wait for Commander Data’s Greatest Love Songs collection. He sings with such soullessness!

I wished for the bare minimum of decency, and Elon the Nazi sympathizer failed to deliver. If I wanted a social network full of right-wing nutjobs, I would have just signed up with Truth or Gab. Maybe you’d be more comfortable there, though.

The Twitter brand is so totally not the problem here.

“Mountain Dew for me and you!”
“ERROR, ERROR! Someone else entered the room! Drink another can!”

Sam Bankman-Jailed!

“Bruce Lee” sounds like a pseudonym. Either that or the guy had a painful childhood.

I have immense difficulty feeling sorry for any of the members of Elon’s Rent-a-Fascist program. He’s a huckster, everyone knows he’s a huckster, and the people who don’t or refuse to believe it will have to learn that lesson the hard way.

I did eventually put the system back together with the SSD inside, and it’s fully functional. I didn’t get in all of the screws, though… I think I used six of them, instead of eight. I just couldn’t take anymore of Satan’s Operation… being thorough wasn’t worth sacrificing my sanity.

SSD is already in there, and I’ve edited the original point to reflect this. Used a Y-splitter to get around the fan speed issue, because I’m not buyin’ a forty dollar temperature sensor for a fifteen dollar computer!

A media center isn’t a bad idea at all. I’ve got no end of things that play video games, but it would be great to have a machine that I can copy all my disc media to, and then watch at my leisure. You have no friggin’ idea how many DVDs I’ve got, but I never watch any of them because boo hoo, switching from my game system without an optical disc player to the one that DOES have an optical disc player, and actually getting up to put the disc into the machine, takes oh-so-much effort. Good lord, the 21st century has made us so lazy as a species.
