Something's gone a bit wrong here. You have the link and bon mot from this message[^] about the death of Internet Explorer, combined with the title and summary from this message[^] about tabs in Windows Explorer.
Either there's a glitch in the matrix, or too many years of wearing the mankini has restricted the blood supply to your brain.

Ah. I made a mistake while posting, fixed it where it matters, and forgot about it here. I might have corrected it.

While you're rearranging things, my post a couple above is in reply to the File Explorer item (next thread up).

I can move a thread to another board, but I can't move a message to another thread. I've really messed this one up.

A Google engineer released a conversation with a Google AI chatbot after he said he was convinced the bot had become sentient — but the transcript leaked to the Washington Post noted that parts of the conversation were edited "for readability and flow." Brought to you by an article editied for readability and narrative coherence in mind. The conspiracy continues!

This would be a good time to mention that I'm all for computer rights.
Right to repair, right to vote, right to education and healthcare.
I care about computers.
Computers are my friends.
My computer is paid a competitive salary.
Just covering my ass for the inevitable technological singularity

Andres is back to the office three days a week, and like many knowledge workers, he’s not happy about it. Let's schedule a meeting to talk about it. Virtual, or IRL?

When Shutterfly decided recently to move the database where it clusters reams of customer photos to the cloud, one name was noticeably absent from its list of potential providers: Oracle Corp. Can't understand why anyone would move away from Oracles outstanding security record and friendly licensing practices.

The biggest laptop vendors in the world no longer sell laptops with hard disk drives, at least in the US. Like the dinosaur, you had your time.

California-based Astra on Sunday launched two shoebox-size NASA satellites from Cape Canaveral in a modest mission to improve hurricane forecasts, but the second stage of the company's low-cost booster malfunctioned before reaching orbit and the payloads were lost. It's almost like space is dangerous.

Quote from the article: It was the seventh launch of Astra's small "Venture-class" rocket and the company's fifth failure. Yikes!

There’s a growing split over how much room browsers should leave for ad blocking — and Chrome and Firefox have ended up on opposite sides of the fight. The name is Spock. If we don't battle to the death, they *will* kill us both.

RFC EDITOR PLEASE DELETE THIS SECTION.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Google uses MACHINE LEARNING and DEEP AI to scrape the menus out of PDFs and photos submitted by patrons. It works about as well as you'd expect. Either that or £800 burgers exist and are the best things I could ever eat.
