Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions?English181·13 days agoI fucking hate Microsoft search. Microsoft controls the OS, they control the file system, why the fuck do they suck so bad at file search?
I’ve been using a program named Everything for file search, it’s everything the built-in search should be.

Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four YearsEnglish4·15 days agoNot when the lab and the hospital are owned by the same company. Promedica (local hospital) sent my sample to Promedica (lab) and I got a bill from the lab. Because Promedica (lab) didn’t have my insurance information.
Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I have never in my 43 years heard of anyone else with the first name Sigourney.English11·16 days agoFrom what I heard: There was a sequence where the team had to sleep in a haunted mansion (for whatever reason) and Dan Aykroyd insisted on having a ghost come in and blow him. And when they cut the entire scene, he insisted on keeping that part as a dream.
Fun Fact: in the original script, Winston was ex-Army/Marine and an important member of the team. But instead they just made him some unemployed schlub because he was black and it was the 80s.

I think they wanted the behind tense of “but” to indicate it’s not just a urinal.
The desperate hope that a “good guy with a gun” will show up and rescue us like they promised.

Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you think about reaching AGI?English34·22 days agoWe are a LOT farther away than 5 years. What you see right now is a lot of hype from venture capitalists over chatbots.
I think any real AGI will have to have some kind of reasoning ability, and I don’t see any sign of that in current AI.

Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The state of YouTube history searchEnglish2·23 days agoWho is Jerma, and why does his crap clog my YouTube feed? Except it’s not Jerma’s stuff, but people making videos about Jerma.

Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you're wearing sunglasses when you're out, do you take them off when going into a store or do you keep them on?English10·1 month agoI have prescription sunglasses, and occasionally forget I’m wearing them. But I try not to wear them in a store.

It’s an ex-car!
Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The new fake "Indie" radio station in townEnglish25·1 month agoThere is a local “rock” station I started listening to when I moved into the area. Their playlist was limited, and I quickly realized they would play the exact same songs at almost the exact same time every day. I think the weekend was the only time I ever heard any recent music.
I drove a lot, so I subscribed to XM. That was super nice, but pretty soon I noticed the same thing. I switched channels a lot, then started listening to a talk channel because I tired of the same songs. (O&A, Ron & Fez, fuck you Anthony you racist piece of shit…)
I dumped XM, started listening to podcasts. And I expanded my music library 10-fold through the wonders of privateering.
Recently I was outside at lunchtime, and someone was sitting in their car listening to that same old local “rock” station. And they are still playing the same garbage songs at pretty much the same exact time every day.
