@slashdot Do not want. I mostly run Windows on my desktop for gaming purposes... Not sure this would still be fit for purpose.

@slashdot I'm reluctant to trust zero-calorie sweeteners in general (this includes "natural" ones like Stevia... Where it comes from doesn't matter as much as what it actually does). Best option still seems to just be real sugar, and only in moderation.

@slashdot I still remember Clippy! We need more fun projects like this.

@slashdot I wouldn't be inclined to buy a car that would prevent me from using Android Auto. Having the infotainment system provided by the phone app of my choice solves the problem better than most automakers' attempts at it would.

@slashdot Is it weird that I'm a little sad to see #Cortana go away? I think #Microsoft should have kept the Cortana branding, but simply upgraded it with ChatGPT rather than replace it altogether.#AIAssistant

@slashdot This sounds like something I would have wanted in high school or college. I imagine a backpack gives more space for hardware than a phone or watch would.What if the majority of a smart glasses setup was in such a backpack, and the glasses were for display/camera only to avoid having the bulk on your head?

@slashdot I used #GameMaker heavily as a hobbyist when I was a teenager. I still remember when you could use most features for free, then unlock the rest for a one-time $35 payment. I also remember when YoYo Games took it over, and raised the price to $699 while severely limiting the free version.I no longer recommended GameMaker to others after that who are just learning. Nice to see this latest change, though.

@slashdot Things like this are why I still keep my own local backups.

@slashdot This is cool because it reminds me of the recharging strips from Nintendo's F-Zero futuristic racing games.On the other hand, I wonder about the expense and efficiency compared to simply using a plug while stopped.#ev

@slashdot We need to rally around #Firefox, if only to help ensure no single browser technology monopolizes the Web.

@slashdot Where was this when I was trying to make up a Christmas wishlist for my family members?

@slashdot My desktop computer was originally built to run Ubuntu Linux, before I added a discrete graphics card and installed Windows 10 to play games with friends. If I wanted to keep it alive, it would almost certainly return to Ubuntu. Everything has come full circle.

@lowqualityfacts This is useful to know if anybody still needs to cut down a Christmas tree. 🎄
