Ah you are indeed correct. I’m probably thinking of classic paint, not notepad.
Either way, i have the downloader for ye old notepad and paint tucked away on and off my machine for future sake when my company middle management decides they want to try to push the new AI tools down our throats for productivity again.
Yep precisely this.
Notepad is where stuff i dont care about 5minutes from now goes to die.
Notepad++ is stuff ill probably take to my grave, or at least til next week.
For folks who cannot do this due to it being a work-controlled machine or otherwise, you can use notepad++. (Obviously id rather this be a tipping point to ditch all the junk at once, but sometimes that isnt feasible)
That said, i find i still need a throwaway notepad for fast trashy notes. In that case ive just uninstalled the new notepad and re-downloaded the legacy notepad then re-aimed “notepad.exe” to the legacy one.
There are a few guides out there, just search your standard “how to get legacy notepad”
I think there’s an angle for people who wish they could take part in the good drawing too.
It’s like that kid in school that would trace a really good drawing and then change the color a bit and say they did it themselves, but for adults. ‘Aren’t you happy i made it better?’ Just equates to me as ‘i want attention for the art too’
The sad part of course being that instead of even having the guile to pick up a utensil and trace it themselves, they just copy paste it to a program and become a middle man for downloading and uploading an image.
Setting aside the ‘soul’ of the drawing or how it appears visually, it’s just sad to watch someone make a cheap facsimile of the thing you made at the cost of a few mouse clicks and making the climate a tiny bit worse.
All that just for ‘siel’
Sir! That graph with ‘number go up’ has been completed! We’ll have another on your desk first thing in the morning.
Selling you 10 year old hardware at modern prices so you can play pokemon with stutters and freezes. Classic
According to the “political” meter in this website, this article is “unfair left leaning”
Mannnnnnn, is it unfair to want people with that kind of power to treat communications with respect/thought/security? Why is this even a left/right thing at a fundamental level?
I believe the common strawman is “if min wage goes up, prices go up” which… You know just admits the system is there to abuse. “If you make more money then we’ll take more money from you”.
Oikos / Silk / International Delight are the brands potentially affected btw.
Missed opportunity to say “reel” dictionary.
Missed opportunity to call it shi®tposting. There truly is no ethical sucky puns under capitalism.
Every day im reminded squeenix is fundamentally a crap company.
Specially after they tried potentially pushing the concept of artificial scarcity through nft’s.
Itd be like disney started abusing their IP to make a quick buck. Oh wait they’re doing that too lol.
If its ff14 related and yoshi-p’s team didnt make it, i just won’t even look at it.
Yep. More accurate reading by it “feeling” your finger instead of “seeing” your finger.
Nominal upgrade but an upgrade none the less.
A lot more benefit comes from how fast the software can detect you trying to unlock your phone, waking the phone, enabling the thumbprint reader (sonic vs light), then decoding the print and finally waking to your home screen.
I love the feature that lets me open the phone to home screen from the phone being asleep. Just put your thumb on a black screen in the right spot and boom, already at the home screen.
Old oneplus gang! Dozens of us!
Cant wait for the page where its just him in borg outfit doing the same job.
War truly is hell
The stones will cry nut was how i read it at first and it got a laugh from me
Correct, but thats not really a solution as i would still need to emulate a windows OS to play the games i want.
That said, linux has come a far way in that regard. Hopefully just another few years.
Windows becoming more of a service/subscription will hopefully speed that process up as people abandon ship.
My favorite part is how it’ll reinstall itself every so often when the OS updates. I used to be able to brick that in registry but its changed again to where that trick doesnt work anymore.
Nope!
Amusingly there is a very large overlap in the companies that want to try to force ai tech crap onto their workers, but dont limit admin controls for users.
But to be more specific, what i meant by work-controlled is that you cant just install linux on a work machine or uninstall office products for alternatives due to company licensing.
Nothing preventing you from just not using that crap though of course but at that point you know your own company limits than i would so god speed!
Last thing you’d probably want to do is be forced into sitting in a class with Mr.MiddleManager / Mr.NepotismHire to go over why these AI products are actually good for you and they arent happy you circumvented that.
