Porque no los dos?

I love that there’s a relevant Posy video that is only 22hrs old

Vista wasn’t that bad. The dodgy selling it on computers that couldn’t handle it was an issue (much like they still do with selling laptops with only 32gb storage).

I still think it was one of the nicest looking - black taskbar with the start button sticking up, sidebar widgets, aero glass etc

I think so, it doesn’t look like any device from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_(PDA).

The logo is from the first palms, but it’s way too curvy

That’s a great idea - didn’t think of that

So the issue comes when using tables.
Make a table cell end at the bottom of the page, and you’ll likely have a new blank page appear at the end.

The reason is because word needs a ‘new paragraph’ marker (the backwards p symbol) after the table. This delineates where the table ends - it’s part of the formatting. You can’t delete it.

Ways to get around it:

• Don’t make you’re table go to the end of the page.
• Reduce the font size of the new paragraph marker to 1 (you need to enable show formatting marks). You can probably fit this at the bottom of the page without losing much space.

There’s other ways - write it into the conditions of loan that it’s not the school’s responsibility to monitor student use when at home.

There are solutions that allow monitoring only on campus - both the monitoring person and the student need to be on-site for the software to contact a licensing server. No server contact=no monitoring.
And never bring ‘AI’ into it.

Like doing homework in your room? Where now the monitor can turn on your webcam without you knowing and watch you in your personal space?

OK so that’s nuts they installed a private ‘AI’ monitoring software that they have no oversight or control over. From the article, they can’t even see what it flags as inappropriate - it just flags and deletes.
A school admin should never hand over that much control!

This is so frustrating when trouble shooting - trying to re-find where that one settings page was because you opened another.
It’s not a phone - it’s a windowing desktop environment. Allow multiple instances!

Have you tried Ardour?

You should use Wayland, not x

Second OpenTTD - that’ll keep you busy

Already has - air Canada was held liable for their ai chatbot giving wrong information that a guy used to buy bereavement tickets. They tried to claim they weren’t responsible for what it said, but the judge found otherwise. They had to pay damages.

Iirc just recently they started giving out blue ticks to people with lots of followers, regardless of if they wanted it. Then this week they make it so you can’t hide them. It seems like a dim move - piss off the people who bring lots of traffic to your website, but actively decided to not get a blue tick, by forcing the tick on them.
If they didn’t leave beforehand, maybe this would make some people/orgs consider leaving?
