And that's just the tip of the iceberg.  Hackers using AI can steal your car, your home and your identity with little to no trouble at all.

Darn .. my mom needs the "Dummy version".....

Any ideas?

There is always the tried and true Ubuntu.  It has a similar look and feel to windows and comes chock full of useful apps for everyday use.  For gamers like us, there is a lot more configuring to do.  But it should be okay for what your mom needs.

THAT is shocking how far head they are from us! If Canada had even the medical advancements China has, Canada would no longer be in a downfall of lack of staff, long wait times, and misdiagnosis! As it is, I had to be sent to Chatham (an hour's drive from Windsor) for my CT scan because of just how long the wait times currently are in my city (they are very short in Chatham though). Yet Windsor keeps tearing down its hospitals thinking one "Mega Hospital" will solve everything. As it is they are naming it a stupid name after the highest donor but the name sounds like "Fancy Family Hospital" which is just plain lame. It is actually spelled Fancsy Family Hospital but sounds the exact same.

When it comes to AI you are right. That video is scary and just shows how easily it will be to replace jobs and leave human beings jobless. But not just that. Something that is never talked about those who are pushing AI is the situation of how scammers are using AI to scam even more money from victims than ever before. It is getting harder and harder to recognize scams as they are making fake images of receipts, romance partners, fake romance scammer families, fake hospital stays, fake lottery win proof, fake court papers, fake home listings, fake job listings, and even fake clothing and items that the scammers sell on all the online shops.

Nice!!

It seems that everyone is trying to get in on the AI wave.  It's all greed and no compassion for its user base.

Definitely. Now even some of the AI image generators (done by text prompts) you can even remove any hint of artists signature of stolen artwork, and voices can be duplicated to make full videos of you saying things you never said based solely on an image of you from social media and you just say hello on the phone when someone calls you and hangs up.

One Eyed called me recently saying that he has made a USA installer for a version of Windows 11 without all the AI bloat.

So, what is stopping you from creating a live boot media and taking it for a test drive?

You are right, and I DO know how to do that. Just hard to sit at the moment given my current health situation and also busy with funerals and sick family, bla bla bla and procrastination as I have so much to do before the start of this cancer treatment after the surgery. I think after the 17th things will get even more busy so you are right. I should do it now. My mom has been successful at making things real busy for me as it seems she can't do anything without me anymore. (Doesn't even know how to plug in her headphones ... and this is the woman who used to know how to burn her own music CD's....)  :duh: :duh: :duh:  ::)

Agreed.  But for the most part, Linux has a very steep learning curve.  Windows is built for dummies.

Take a look at what's going on in China right now.  Are you scared?  You should be.

At the time of this post, the 7d2d server has been updated to v2.5 (b27), which is current.  I have updated all the mods to support all the new changes and even fixed just about every buggy mod we had.  Including the hyper fast workstations that show negative crafting time when certain conditions are met.  Wrote a few new mods and even started figuring out proper progression systems.  I did a ton of work on the server getting it better than ever.  There is a few new POI's since moving to v2.0.  Including a brand new multi trader base that I made and published on Nexusmods.com called Trader Cafe.  Trader Mechanic now has every vehicle that you can purchase and craft in our server on display.  Including boats, lawn tractors and a Star Wars speeder bike to go with a devastating light saber that you can craft or purchase from a trader.
