I mean, I don't like AI. But leaving in debugging messages can easily happen without AI, too.

99% of Windows usability issues would be fixed if Windows had the guts to add this button
Windows has that button, but only if you right-click the drive in file explorer and select "eject". The dialog is very similar, but has the option to continue anyways. That option doesn't appear when ejecting from the taskbar.
Which is weird, because it means that Microsoft went out of their way to make two different, almost identical dialogs. And they made the better one harder to reach.

A wish
A guy walk into a bar and pulls out a scale model of a grand piano, as well as a wooden puppet. The puppet immediately animates and starts playing the piano.
After a perfect performance of Mozart's piano sonata No.11, the puppet gets up, bows to the audience and falls lifeless to the ground. Everyone is astounded.
The bartender asks the guy: "That was great! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get a puppet like this?"
The guy hands him an old golden oil lamp. "You see, I found this lamp. If you rub it and say what you want, a genie pops out and grants the wish. Give it a try, if you want!"
The bartender is sceptical, but tries anyway. "I wish for a million bucks!" Immediately the bar is filled with a giant flock of ducks. On the tables, on the bar, on the ground, ducks are everywhere.
"What the fuck?! That's not what I asked for!"
The guy chuckles. "O yeah, the genie is hard of hearing. Did you really think I asked for an eight inch pianist?"

Only in Settings can you find Life's true meaning

Windows is clearly superior. If you've had enough of the settings app, you can just switch to the control center!

Intel Confidential CPU?
This seems to be an engineering sample CPU. Since these are pre-production, that could mean it's basically a fully functional CPU. It could also have serious issues.

SawStart(XKCD)

Unfortunately, SawStart is one-use-only. Once started, the blade cannot be stopped, and must be replaced with a fresh blade while the running one is carefully disposed of.

That study states that brain damage can cause more conservative views, but the reverse isn't true. Not everyone with conservative views has brain damage.

He proposes the cloud be owned by communities, so in a way by everyone. That's not the same everything being owned by private companies.

What did you expect? We're talking about one guy who might have lived over 2000 years ago. You're not going to find his birth certificate and social security number.
The best anyone can do is assign a probability to his existence. And reading the article you yourself linked to, that probability seems to be pretty high.

Wie trefft ihr schwere Entscheidungen?
Sorry dass ich nichts hilfreicherws beizutragen habe, aber der Janosch passt hier einfach zu gut:
Herr Janosch, schwere Entscheidungen, wie trifft man die? "Man schreibt die Alternativen tabellarisch auf einen Zettel. Anschließend legt man den Zettel nieder und wirft einen Löffel auf den Zettel. Dann geht man weg und lässt den Löffel das regeln. Sein Problem."

In the Dune universe, why not use laser weapons as bombs?
IIRC, this is actually done at some point in the books.

You can host a Firefox sync server yourself. You could run that on something like a Raspberry Pi in your local network. If you need remote access, use something like cloudflare tunnels (although I guess that's something else to be paranoid about).

Sure, the skull is biodegradable. But didn't you know that large-scale human farming is responsible for the vast majority of CO2 emissions?!

Post your Servernames!
My router is called Jupiter, everything connected to it is named after a moon. Callisto, Ganymede, Thelxinoe, Kallichore are what I'm currently using.
