Option 1: Admit your UI choices (made mostly to accommodate an all tablet PC future that never arrived) are terrible and redesign the Windows settings screens to display all new and old settings that still work, with search functions.

Option 2: Spend tens of billions training an AI to find those settings and change them.

Well done, Microsoft. I knew you'd make the right choice.

Well, they say societies grow great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in.

Trump doesn't seem like a man who thinks that far ahead. He's more the Fox News "great replacement" type.

If $5000 is a lot to you, he's really not interested in there being more of "your type" of person.

I remember Antonio Banderas (and indeed most of Europe) being bemused when a US interviewer called him a "person of colour".

I watched that last Captain America one, and at one point my wife just went "Why are they in a car? Both of these men can fly!"

I knew it was going to be shit because Harrison Ford looked bored. Always a good barometer for any movie he's been in the last 20 years or so. He just can't hide it any more.

Plus it was horrifically slow for everything. Even when new.

It arguable it's not more powerful than a phone, but the keyboard would certainly be useful.

Phones are capable of a lot, but even something basic like a network ping is buried and they prefer you to install some crappy app with adverts and in app purchases, rather than let you use the PC in your pocket.

"This app is Free!"

*opens app*

"Psyche! Get your credit card out..."

I don't know why they put tariffs on movies though.

Surely movies are the one thing Americans export more of than they import.

So they tariff them, we tariff theirs in response... American influence wanes around the globe.

I mean, I'm not complaining, half of Hollywood seems to be using shitty AI to write dogshit scripts. It just makes no fucking sense.

On what planet does a Steam Deck give 4070 performance?

And on which does a 4070 cost $300 for that matter? They cost more than a whole PS5.
