This is AI related, and a very disturbing to me post. I bought a Chrome book that had mostly good reviews. It was on sale for $129. This thing is the worst thing I have ever had. It was loaded full of AI but I only got it to play frequencies for sleep. It was sort of ok at first, then it got worse until I was watching a video and it just shut down. I would click on something it would send me somewhere else. Even if it was the volume button it just sent me where it wanted, this site included. Today it shut down and would not turn back on. Then I found it shut off all my computers, and I could not turn any of them. It took me forever to get them come back on. There are videos on you tube that show how to remove AI from your computer. I am going there next, as these are making it wore every time. The AI uploads in secret, and ignores the no update for 5 weeks command. It is making my computer hard to use.

My first computer was a Timex-Sinclair, which used the Z80 chip, same as the TRS-80 Model I. I bought a machine language book at Radio Shack so I could do some more complicated programming.
I built my current desktop computer about 13 years ago. It does only what I want it to do. It was state of the art when I built it, so it still handles everything well today. I can have dozens of browser windows open and simultaneously be downloading files from Usenet, listening to music, and writing in WordPerfect without a problem. I just have 8GB of memory, but it takes an awful lot to gag that memory.
My computer doesn't update squat unless I want it to, which I haven't in years. The main update I've done is replace the hard drive with an SSD. The old drive was starting to make noises several years ago, so I cloned it to the new SSD. I swapped the drive out, and the computer started the same as it did before. I don't upgrade software unless a new version comes out with really desirable new features. For example, my current version of WordPerfect (X9) was released in 2018. I don't see a good reason to upgrade on it and pay more money.
awesome!
