At least they offer a fix for it:

Head to about:config in a new tab, accept the risk warning, and use the search bar to find the controls.

To kill the AI chatbot feature, search for browser.ml.chat.enabled and set it to false.

To stop smart tab grouping, search for browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled and set it to false.

Germany and a handful of other countries have been moving to Linux over the past decade. Betting the rate of uptick speeds up now though.

Does this also mean Microsoft would allow China to spy on the US if asked?

So many people in Austin drive well BELOW the speed limit that you end up wishing you were on the West or East Coast again doing 20MPH over every time you drive. Atop of not driving fast, they also refrain from anything more than a little tap of the horn for even the most life threatening maneuvers.

It’s not even a Texan thing, it’s JUST a ridiculous Austin thing.

Fun fact! I’m studying for my amateur radio technician license and learned that ham came from calling amateur telegraph operators’ sloppy work ‘ham-fisted’. The amateur radio community decided to lean into it, and thus the ham radio operator was born

I’ll assume FCC Technician license; it’s a fun hobby. I have had a General license since the 1990s when the FCC still required a proficiency in morris code. At a cost of $35 to renew and the ability to have a cellphone alternative while traveling long distance by car, it’s worth keeping.

Have fun, find your Ham niche and enjoy it for the rest of your life!

They prefer the term Hams and love to remind people (in morris code of course) that not all heroes wear capes.

Hams are responsible for helping out in just about every natural disaster, war, power outage and anything else where a cellphone signal cannot be had.

In truth though, hams are just a bunch of likeminded nerds with a love of the airwaves.

Welp, it was fun while it lasted…

Now all international travelers will have to go back to the early 00s method of buying burner phones and calling cards to be able to make a call.

Yup. Motorola is Chinese Lenovo now sadly. Lenovo is absolute trash devices and support.

IT Manager here. You’ll probably get a hundred different answers to this as it sincerely depends on the industry.

I currently see a lot of need for the following in SLED (State, Local, Education), but again, this is just one of many industries:

Python, SQL, PL/SQL, RUST, automation (ansible/chef/puppet), powershell, cyber security related and cloud related stuff.

Great, now make it uninstall faster.

AI : Actually India

People don’t realize how much doctors leverage opening old books, reading subscription articles and looking at case files to help their patients out.

Anything that can aide in the diagnosis and treatment of patients is a good thing, even if it’s AI.

Source: I am in IT and my wife’s two siblings are a general practitioner doctor and an otolaryngologist (Ear Nose Throat Specialist). There’s not much difference between being a systems administrator and a doctor in many ways.

Bill announces a collaboration between the two, starting with an open source implementation of BOB and Clippy AI for Linux…

This is also the officially supported US Government way. Not lying. I worked for a VAR with NASA and DHS contracts. Bad hard drives were bashed with a sledge like this before the top plate was sent to the manufacturer for RMA.

As someone who was Sun Certified 5.7.1 to version 10, I feel this way too hard as well.
