Clippy gets a lot more crap than they should. I think people forget that Office 97 was many people’s first time using a graphical word processor and for some their first time using a mouse. Those who bought machines just a couple years prior when Word first came to Windows weren’t ready to upgrade yet. So those who had some experience usually had it in older DOS based programs where mouse support was hit and miss, but most were coming from typewriters or nothing at all. Clippy was actually pretty good a bouncing around the screen and showing people what to click on to do things or even just walking people through the things they could do.

If and only if you disable wake from USB.

The only time I would disable hibernation is if I was running out of disk space.

AFAIK the use case is laptops because sleep and hibernate still uses some small amount of the battery. You used to be able to stop that by turning off wake from USB but that meant having to press the power button to wake it up and I guess they decided to just make it that way anyway.

Here you go!

These are cops were talking about, some of the most controlling people on the planet. I think it’s entirely plausible they were stalking/tracking people they were actively dating. I’m also going to guess that this isn’t just something they’ve started doing since they got access to this technology.

This user is well known as a lighthearted troll, but I have heard others say this unironically IRL.

Very likely that this is Oklahoma’s future Governor, btw.

The election is this November and I have literally never heard of this asshole. He also doesn’t appear to have announced a run. At this point I kinda doubt he will be the next governor. My money is on Drummond, the current attorney general who has announced a run.

My single gay friend adopted a kid in Oklahoma in the mid 2000s. This is definitely one of those your mileage may vary things.

Culture doesn’t have anything to do with intelligence. Also, no, driving 3 hours in the US will definitely get you to a different culture, likely a different accent even. It takes 3.5 hours to get from NYC to Boston…

Adjacent states aren’t much better.

That’s how Mozilla works too…

They are still around.

Okay but the Maxwell House was a hotel…

Im talking about both definitions. As I said to the other person; arriving at a private deal does not set precedent for other private or public deals even if it sets an expectation in the mind of a certain dumbass. It would only be a precedent legal or otherwise if we now are okay with future presidents doing the same thing.

If I give my dog a treat every day at the same time that doesn’t mean somebody else has to give their dog a treat at that time which what you are implying.

Does that make sense now?

Again. If two people make a deal in private it doesn’t set a precedent for another private or public deal. That’s it.

It’s because you aren’t understanding the distinction. Settlements are not part of a legal preceding. They are by definition the parties agreeing to arbitrate outside of the legal system. There is no more precedent set by a settlement than any other random two assholes making a deal in private.

I need more things to have a block censorship option. Like streaming music services often have a ‘block explicit’ option. I want a ‘block censored’ option.

Cortana was meant to compete with Siri and Google Assistant (and Alexa to a lesser extent), when Windows Phone died they put her on life support and then pulled the plug when ChatGPT became a thing.
