ChatGPT IS NOT A SEARCH ENGINE. it is an autocomplete. that's it. that's literally all it is and all it was ever designed to be. the "information" it gives you is *exactly* as reliable as cutting up a newspaper into words and pulling those words out of a box and saying it's "the news." stop using it as a fucking search engine!!

FYI O&O ShutUp10++ is a tool that allows you to disable most of Windows user-hostile features (as well as anti-features) from a very simple UI.

It has plain text explanations of what every toggle does, what are their effect on 3rd party software as well as suggested settings.

It's really useful, you can find it here: oo-software.com/en/shutup10

All you need to do is to click "Report a problem" in the dropdown menu next to image's author

File loaded on the page that will open is a raw uploaded JPEG with just the metadata stripped lol

This was a person who made the active decision to reject as many claims as possible for medical assistance, claims that would have saved the lives of children, teachers, mothers, he went into work each day and actively worked to cause as many people a long, painful death as he could to add an extra 0 to his bonus. There is no redeeming that. You need to understand that he was an enemy of the working class, not some great, stand up guy, he knew he was killing people, he knew.

A health insurance CEO was never going to suddenly have a Scrooge moment and decide to undo all the pain and suffering he'd caused, and he was going to continue collecting paychecks written in the blood of cancer patients and miscarriage victims and everyone who died of a preventable disease. His job was to cause people to suffer and die to save his company money, it wasn't an undeserved end for scum of his type

I get that gun violence is an awful thing and people's first instincts are to say 'well even he didn't deserve to be shot' but I need to make it clear that even if Hitler hadn't killed himself and the soviet soldiers had found him alive and shot him, that would still have been just and good, sometimes the only way to remove evil people from positions of power where the entire system is designed to protect them, is with violence.

Intel launched the Pentium processor in 1993. Unfortunately, dividing sometimes gave a slightly wrong answer, the famous FDIV bug. Replacing the faulty chips cost Intel $475 million. I reverse-engineered the circuitry and can explain the bug. 1/9

so uh, if you have an AMD CPU and have annoying graphical stuttering issues that you can't get rid of:

turn off the fTPM in your firmware settings

unfortunately this is not a joke, this made my VR setup go from stuttery but tolerable to completely smooth

My mother’s union just secured a 40% raise and 7 weeks parental leave for its workers after walking off the job (in an illegal strike no less).

Don’t let people tell you unions aren’t worth fighting for
