Seems to have no OLE support, so pretty authentic in my book, as that only came later. Surprised the ancient computer isn't dying under the strain of so many visits.
It's not a computer. It's not a Windows release. It's not even old. It's a recent site that mimics (satrizes) some of the behaviors of Windows 95.

Win93 seems pretty olds to me.

How can this mimic or satitise Windows 95? I understand a less complex system can simulate a more complex system, but only slower, or maybe, but _2 years_ between releases with superior Wm functionality degraded???
It doesn't even have Winsock, and that was done in 1992!

#73If you open the recycle bin there's a zip file that actually downloads through your real browser to your real computer. I didn't bother opening it. It has a filename not everyone will immediately know how to delete. That's really not a funny thing to put out there.

Your emails are already at 'home' or a similar cloud solution with questionable privacy policies. These assistants don't actually run on your device, just their front ends are run on your device. I think you're making a distinction that doesn't really exist with common use cases. As far as what is reported back to the home company, well, that pre-dates personal assistants. What gmail does with your email or dropbox w…
The email problem may be solved separately by a yet unknown solution - maybe encryption will be part of the next Iteration. "Personal assistants" that listen in on conversation, waiting for a keyword - that's a completely different dimension than "just" reading email.
You can disable the 'always listening' option in most (all?) of these products and just have a press to talk option. I leave mine on for convenience. There's no law saying you need to if you want to use these technologies.

#79Solitude even has the victory animation: http://i.imgur.com/IlSm5pE.png Funnily enough if you leave the tab in the background, the events queue up and when you tab back there are a bunch of cards bouncing around at once: http://i.imgur.com/dNObRGb.png
You mean Solitaire...Solitude sounds so odd...
