I love how unhinged that show is.

I don't think users actually write those. You just pick the amount of stars and the term is hardcoded for the amount. It most likely is just a translation mishap.

True, that totally happens to me all the time, too. For example, yesterday it was repeatedly insisting that there's a certain checkbox in qbittorrent settings, which wasn't there. I gave it the screenshot of the setting page and it "realized" it's named differently. So in the end, it helped me with something that I couldn't google properly. It's a supplementary tool for me.

Happened to me yesterday. I have an old 4K TV, every component I used to connect to it had HDMI 2.0+ capabilities. Neither laptop nor Steam Deck would output 4K60, only 4K30. Tried getting another cable and a hub, same result. And I know that my Chromecast outputs 4K60 to this TV, so I was extra confused. In my desperation, asked GPT-5 what was I missing, and it plainly told me that those old Samsung TVs turn off HDMI 2.0 support unless you explicitly turn it on in TV settings under "UHD Color". Apparently Chromecast was doing chroma subsampling, but computers refused and wanted full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth...

Sure, he might be doing it for the wrong reasons, but at least he's doing the "right" thing. Isn't that the best one could expect of him?

Criticizing someone else’s censorship in order to defend your own right to free speech is as valid a reason as any. In fact, I’d say it’s the very point.

Maybe they wash: 🤞

It obviously means that the fart was spicy and is now burning his anus.

I'm pretty sure most regular users will not even notice the charge, and find it useful down the line. Cause one day they will mess something up, complain to MS that they "lost their work", will be pointed to the cloud where everything was synced, and rejoice. Most users don't really care about the implications that their documents are in the cloud.

Sure, but they wouldn't have worded it like that.

Sarcasm here is too obvious to be pointed out.

It was ironically used as a means to make fun of people who use the term...
