Reply to A Rogue AI model broke free from human control in Artificial Intelligence WinCustomize Forums

Yes, I have seen several articles on this happening. It's a little scarry for sure. The spammers and hackers are making good use of AI to infiltrate the internet, especially IoT devices like TV's and now vacuum cleaners! It hasn't effected me yet (knock-on-wood), but like Jeff says – sooner, not later! Stay safe everyone. pelaird

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="3994989" id="541900"] [quote who="pelaird" reply="3994939" id="541900"] My wife's computer (DELL XPS8900 from 2015) recently died. We replaced it with a GEEKOM A7-MAX mini-PC. It included an AMD R9-7940HS processor with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD with Windows 11 Pro for $587. [/quote] Thanks, Pelaird.

Reply to System Icons - Who still changes them? in Skinning Stardock Forums

I am a big fan of Icon customization. However, in Windows 11 it has become increasingly more difficult. I typically change every icon I can to a custom icon.
