Not that long ago I clicked on a link that Microsoft provided somewhere in Windows -- could have been the event log, I don't remember. I do remember it was for a specific support a…

Yeah, it was better. Windows 8 and 8.1 was a disappointment with its "metro style".

At some point I guess things became "good enough". The leap to Windows 95 was huge. The leap to Windows 2000 was huge. Leaps in hardware was huge as well around at that time. It's …

I'm not so sure. Is there really a demand for more AI data centers? Has anyone been turned down by OpenAI or Antrophic because they are out of capacity?

Same for me. Slackware (I guess 4.0) and E16 was my first proper Linux installation. Learned so much during that time.

I remember playing GTA I with a 3DFX card. Man that was smooth. When I later played at a friends house, I was disappointed about how choppy it was.

https://torh.net I have a plan of making it a "proper" webpage with more sub-pages for hobbies and such. But right now its a 90's style page with some info and a lot of links.

I read this as an ownership issue, where Meta owns your content as long as you post on Facebook or Instagram, and has nothing to do with LLMs.
