Turbo was the default behavior. There was a toggle button that turned off the turbo light and slowed the machine down when needed for compatibility. Note: almost nobody needed this capability it sometimes they bumped the button and later wondered why the pc was slow.

When they moved it must have sounded like crinkling bags of Sun Chips

There was no Fox News, Facebook or Joe Rogan when watergate happened and no citizens united yet so there was a shared concept of reality in the country.

Trump was tried for stealing state secrets but a judge he appointed abstructed justice for him and he got away with it.

What if ~~Zelda~~ the president of NOA was a girl.

Why the fuck is the president rolling back or setting any regulation? That’s what congress is for. Also, for example, they are supposedly handling tariffs and upholding the constitution. Their duties include impeaching and removing from office presidents that violate their oaths and the constitution.

Yes I know we’re in this mess due to the combo of an evil fascist president and a weak corrupt congress. And decades of congress allowing presidential power to escalate.

As far as I can tell, AI almost always makes a call to a remote server. So why do you need a powerful PC for that? You could do that on a 20 year old computer easily.

I tried AI on my MacBook to ask it how to fix my config. It just did an internet search and didn’t even check the setting on my computer.

The Flintstones fascinated me when I was a kid because everything had already been invented but it was just made out of rocks and wood instead of metal and plastic. So for example they had a stone dishwasher appliance powered by a bird or something.

Nice but maybe it’s Earnest Borg9

No that’s not the same thing. It’s the difference between looking up how to do something and having it done for you.

There have been multiple articles recently that show AI weakens skills.

Btw there’s no need to add strawman arguments with scenarios I didn’t mention.
