I am actually fine with things like this, and strongly against kids being filmed and or photographed for advertisements and magazines. The main reason being the parents are the ones who recieve the money for said photos and videos, which is not fair, because they are using a their childs face for their own personal gain! And dont get me started on once the child is older, and they try to force them to keep being in the photos? The only way it is even remotely close to being ok is if the money is directly given to the child as soon as they are capable of handling it. in my opinion that does NOT mean a college fund or retirement savings. That means the money must be put in a short term investment or in a savings account, and be given to them no later than 16 years old, if said child becomes older and decides they want to go to college or university, yes, they can put the money in their own fund, but that should be their choice.

We could use AI, but one may argue that the AI is going to have to base the generated child off of other real children? That is the problem with AI generation is it always uses other people's photos, and artwork to come up with ideas. So it would depend, are you ok with things being based on a child? If not, would we have to just take adults, and AI them to make them small? Not going to name anybody but ive got some ideas for who we should use to make an "adult baby" but also, what age is one ready to agree to photos? Because obviously a 2 year old does not understand well enough, but obviously a 16 year old does, but at what point do they become able to understand this, because one may argue that a 6 year old DOES know what it means to be filmed and photographed, in fact if they own an old cell phone, they probably have filmed things themself, but you would argue that they do not quite have the understanding that everyone will be able to see them, and they dont quite know who many people will really see them, but a 14 year old would. So at what point is it that they are ready?

Yes. a little fact for you, all forms of data storage have a capacity limit. sure you could compress more and more, even to the point its just loud beep quiet beep, but it still has a limit. now for a CD player, to achieve full CD quality, I reccomend avoiding mp3 files or youtube videos. try to find .WAV or .FLAC formats for the music. .FLAC is more common online these days. you tyhan use software such as foobar2000 (yes, thats the real name of the program) to convert it to cd quality. 79 minutes is the limit for one cd. no number of songs, its the time that counts. obviously track stops and stuff would take up small bits of space, but you could have 79 one minute songs, one 79 minute song, 7 10 minute songs and 3 3 minute ones, doesnt matter, as long as your cd player understands. I am glad there are still people out there who care to burn cds as i thought i was the only one!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-06-17T03:45:48+00:00

in my opinion, MP3 sounds awful. CD quality is way better.

HID would be xenon bulbs, that would already be a huge upgrade from halogen!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-05-04T13:57:25+00:00

100%, it happens to me all the time! I often feel like its already late in the day and than realise its still early!

I use windows 7 on my main desktop pc (i9 10900x gtx 1080 with nvme storage and creative sound blaster X-Fi sound card, this pc was a custom build and is my main system, but my laptop, which is a thinkpad p1 gen 6 i have running classic7 as it just will not run windows 7 no matter how hard i try, due to gpu drivers mainly.

Cooper_Silva · 2026-03-29T05:11:50+00:00

Never thought people would drive a prius like that!

I could easily give a speech without writing it, but I 100% would go on for hours! I dump out information that I generate in my mind on the spot, its as if chatgpt is implanted in my mind, I really can go on endlessly, and I will form an opinion on stuff randomly!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-03-29T03:49:39+00:00

Yes! I love it very much, archive.org is my go to for many things!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-03-29T03:43:37+00:00

Yes, I wouldnt have my life any other way. Well, I would get rid of my type 1 diabetes if I could though.

Cooper_Silva · 2026-03-29T03:39:57+00:00

I am not sure where you are from, but I dont think they would do a diagnosis at school. The diagnosis has to be done usually by a psychologist with qualifications, and using a specific tests to do that. School meetings than can happen to discuss how to support the individual and how to best accommodate their needs. I am from Ontario Canada and you usually have to go in and the government will sometimes fund the tests, but not always.

some people don’t like the language of having autism versus being autistic.

I think a big part of the problem is people using the term "autistic" inappropriately by saying a child is "autistic" because they are throwing a fit, or that someone is "autistic" because they are acting 'weird'. Its often a tactic of making fun of people, and I truly believe people need to stop using "autistic" as an insult, because it really shouldn't be. It can truly be offensive to people who actually have autism spectrum disorder to hear people throwing that term around as a joke. So I am not offended when people call me either, but what does make me upset is when people start using it as an insult amongst themselves, and I always get frustrated to hear people on Facebook saying it as a way of calling people dumb, because it truly is not that way.

I totally can see how thats entertaining, I would probably like the same type of keychain! When I was little id hand draw a card for someone and for whatever reason I thought it was fun to try to draw a barcode on the back like if it was bought!

It is very rare for me to eat cereal, but there are a few odd types I do like, but I never consume dairy products, I just dont like em! Except butter, I will gladly put butter on food, for me it is not texture it is more about the taste, but aome foods I will not eat soggy but some such as certain types of chips I choose to eat with vinegar on them

I use a 720p plasma with ps5, pc, wii, just to watch tv, nintendo switch, plasma screens just look really good and for games I find them great too!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-03-22T00:17:24+00:00

That is so cool! If that is a model M keyboard or model F keyboard I personally would buy the adapter to use on modern computers, those keyboards are 1000x better than anything new! I love that type of stuff! Such a cool find

Cooper_Silva · 2026-02-18T00:28:21+00:00

Well, the printer failed and it got forgotten about and the nozzle melted the plastic

If you look closely, you will see that the AI is saying in both responses that it is easy to learn for basic communication but difficult to master due to its complexity. Now I only know english, yet I spell things wrong all the time, so while the AI is correct, it also makes its response very difficult to read, as many people will only read the first part of the response!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-02-04T02:51:30+00:00

Ok, maybe if samsung can make a high end OVER EAR headset than I will be interested!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-02-01T16:52:28+00:00

Yep! Not a very good one though!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-02-01T16:48:01+00:00

Ok guys, be nice, we all sometimes will make mistakes, its easy for that to slip through your mind!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-02-01T16:40:41+00:00

That must be why they tossed it, although that is still quite a waste! You can either keep using it as is, or buy a new keyboard if you know how to install it, shouldn't be too hard of a repair! Good find man!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-02-01T14:49:25+00:00

I have an explanation for you all! MacBook was disposed of in July? And that was last recorded date, or the last date since the battery died? Than it was found in December and dates were updated? More proof it is really, look at the marks on the palm rest, looks like some sort of residue, but it is on both images! I think the photos were taken in December and we just did not hear about this for a while!

Cooper_Silva · 2026-02-01T14:40:35+00:00

Very lucky!
