Hehe got it in one.

Some people will find him unbearable or a bit repetitive, but he really enjoys himself.

Favorite phrases of his seem to be Apocalyptic Dingleberry His name is John Sena Woa Woa Woa. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. NPC move. Need to know when to pull out. You’re not in the UK now.

To quote AVCH, “His controller disconnected.”

A bit of both I think.

As a Facebook group administrator I get to see a fair bit of definite fake stuff. Any time someone posts anything with the word stolen for example, a number of fake accounts will attempt to post with names of people who ‘can help get your things back’.

They recently got a bit more advanced and will sometimes use 'I’m new here" type posts or similar tricks to try to trick the admin into letting them into the group. It’s a public group, hence a juicy target. There’s several tricks an AI can use.

That said, we have a fair share of legit nutters, rednecks, NIMBYs, homophobes etc as well - I just suspect some of the EV and renewable energy hatred for example, on Facebook is manufactured.

I’m not convinced that much of it is real. Many accounts have to be fake. Surely people can’t be as stupid as they appear. I think it’s AI’s funded or designed to be so stupidly biased.

Hehe - sounds similar to my case. On my PC if I try to log in as the work account, it asks for a code from an authenticator app, but rejects it. Still working on my phone though. Microsoft being Microsoft.

Today I tried to get some files from Teams that I hadn’t used in a year or so.

Error.

Something went wrong [7q6ck]

Works ok on my phone for now though so at least I got past that road block for today.

I think if you consider the cost to manufacture then bury a fibre optic cable for everyone who lives 10km from a town centre, I think it’s still a net positive. It’s not great for sure, but amortised over a huge population it’s probably the best option we have at this time.

As a driver with short sight and glasses, if my glasses fall off I’m not suddenly blind - I just can’t read license places or signs. Traffic lights, other cars etc are still pretty obvious.

If it’s on solar / battery, then meh. 10 watts is pretty modest.

Maybe so.

For those who don’t understand it, Windows 3.1 etc needed a third party program called Trumpet Winsock in order to connect to the internet.

Where’s my trumpet?
