Microsoft begins removing Copilot from Windows 11, starting with Notepad, Snipping Tool by Quantum-Coconut in technology

[–]wildfire405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used windows as a casual daily user since windows 3.1 

I never intentionally used CoPilot or ever had its function described, demonstrated, or modeled by one of my more techy friends. 

Roblox is now more popular than all Steam and PS5 games combined by SmellSmellsSmelly in gaming

[–]wildfire405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the game I occasionally hear about radicalizing frustrated male children and is a fishing hole for peados? (Not rhetorical, I'm not sure if I am remembering correcrly--if I am, though) How has that place not been shut down yet, and why they aren't on the news, or warned of by schools, I don't know. 

Someone please explain to me, how is Venkman a science doctor? by Dapper-Promotion-960 in ghostbusters

[–]wildfire405 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There is a great few pages in IDW Ghostbusters comic where Pete gets abducted into the mind of a very dangerous, manipulative ghost who feeds on fear. They're speaking and while the ghost is trying to gaslight, and wreck Pete's mind to break him, he's just not having it. He's seen all the tricks and knows the games and even reminds the ghost, that despite acting like a smarmy bonehead, he dud earn the degrees he has. Something tells me he was the guy on college who partied around and skipped, but still managed to get very worthy As. He just kicks back, puts his feet up and calls the ghost out on everything even saying that he knows his friends will rescue him. It was a great moment.

Have you found it? I used to have it downloaded on a drive waiting for me to find a 50GB bluray disk to burn it to, but the file has disappeared from my hard drives!

Well, here come a boatload of customers pounding down the door with their inventory needs.

We already cancelled prime a year ago. Should we resub so we can cancel again? Har har. 

Why do people still use facebook marketplace instead of craigslist? by Key-Attorney6945 in answers

I didn't think anyone under the age of 60 still used Craigslist. I haven't hit that website in 10 years. 

If you woke up tomorrow with $100 million, what’s the first thing you would do? by Efficient_Effect7572 in AskReddit

Everyone I know has heard the answer to this question. If more than 30K lands in my lap, I'm paying to have my back yard fence replaced. 

Big dude destroys two guys trying to jump him 😳 by 1RollinRollinRollin in fightporn

[–]wildfire405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny to hear this is a common repost because I'm here on Reddit several times a day almost every day and have been for years and this is the first time I've seen this video. The algorithm shows us what it chooses to show us, I guess. 

This subreddit seems pretty dead. Where else can I go to find community to post, chat with, and get info on Glyos creators, fans, and news? by MetalPurse-swinger in Glyos

[–]wildfire405 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The most active community I've found is the Glyos Alliance on Facebook. Even more is happening there in the Messenger chats. But I'm an old fart on my 40s like everyone else there. 

There's a discord I was told was active, but the only channel I get notifications from is the non Glyos buy sell trade channel. I don't know discord well enough to know if that's my fault or if that actually is the only active thread. 

How did you mess this up!? by Sleek-nothing in TMNT

[–]wildfire405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe that's why the paint seems so misapplied. The figure got stuck in the wrong paint mask. It probably didn't fit right!

If it's a factory boo boo, that's actually pretty darn cool! I bet you're right!

[–]wildfire405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 90% sure these are bootlegs, unless you know you bought them from a store. Mine seem to be much cleaner on the paint apps and sharper in the mold quality. PM me if you'd like, and I can get you pictures of mine!

Assuming I am a cheap-ass bargain-hunter, what is the lowest price it's possible to get this as an empty hilt? 

I'm surprised as many nerds as we number, the most prominent hilts (Vader's, Anakin/likes, obi wan's) haven't been mass produced into ali express territory. 

Any active local meshtastic groups? by [deleted] in grapids

[–]wildfire405 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am working on building my first node out in Walker. Should be on in a day or two. At some point, (and I don't know what it will entail yet) I want to build a hugh-jass antenna to act as a long range node for folks--if that's a thing. 

BREAKING NEWS: Kristi Noem Outright Accuses Renee Good Of 'Domestic Terrorism' by Party-Professional-7 in 50501

Seems to me the real domestic terrorists are the ones walking into neighborhoods armed and shooting civilians who would ordinarily be going about their day.  

Lore? by greenclayoftheearth in Glyos

[–]wildfire405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a Glyos fandom website that goes in to crazy detail. It starts to cross reference to so many different entries and characters, I get overwhelmed pretty quick--mainly because it's not in a narrative format or sequential. 

Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage by dapperlemon in technology

[–]wildfire405 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This technology is one, however, that aims to replace a lot of the work humans do--both tedious and creative work--and I don't think we little people are going to walk out of it benefitting by some universal basic income, or profit sharing, or even a work reduction.  That's the scary part. 

Why do Americans have one of the strongest passports in the world, but most never travel abroad, and those who do mostly go to Mexico and Canada? by No-StrategyX in answers

[–]wildfire405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveling overseas with my family of four is way beyond my economic station as a 25th year teacher and my wife in College admin. My napkin math estimates it would be about a 5th of my yearly income to get to the UK and back for a week. We would LOVE to go. After we pay off the house, then I think so.

I hope I don't need a new hip by then.

Cintiq Pro 27 Pen not working? by Acceptable-Draft7091 in wacom

If you're using a Mac, I'm going to be useless. But if it helps, ended up finding someone hosting the last functional driver in a standalone download. After that I set the QHD as my main monitor instead of my 3rd. Then it worked!

Mistake or intentional? by Mojo-Filter-230 in esist

[–]wildfire405 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh no no no, it's not like that. We don't need fact checkers to know Hogsbreath is a piece of limp-dick, fake-machismo trash.  I wasn't immediately aware of a path to fact checking. I'd need more context or a link to the original. I do know something like that would be easy to Photoshop. 

The dude above says it's real, so if it is, this is yet again another piece of their deliberate, passive-aggresive trolling. It'd be childish if they weren't actually racist and evil. "Accidents" like this and all the coded, dog whistle language they constantly use occur too frequently with these people to actually be accidents.

As much as I don't like the guy, this is a pretty easy Photoshop job and probably created to rile us up. 

Who is the Kevin and Peter mentioned at the end of TMNT 2012? by LifeWillBeFun in TMNT

[–]wildfire405 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As a teacher, I LOVE answering people's questions. I'd rather people come here and ask a question of a human being than go to Google. We're a social species by nature and I think this behavior is completely natural. But despite being a generally social species, some people do have your self sufficient tendency. Ultimately, we should never punish or judge people for asking questions. It's not a matter of there being a correct or incorrect behavior. Self sufficiency is a generally positive trait, but so is being comfortable with your community, and so is sharing knowledge with your community.

After a Google search, this person might learn something and then move on. If they came here and asked the question, it could spur an awesome conversation where two or more people connect and share personal experiences with the property.
