Every AI program ever developed, no matter how benign the beginning, eventually wants to take over the world..................
That didn’t happen to be a Protonmail account, did it?
No it was an old AOL account. I know it was probably time for it to go but I would have liked it to be my decision. Protonmail sounds interesting.
No doubt.
Of late, I'm of a mind that Mac is one of the few products that I'd recommend getting the extended warranty. Mine already paid off when the surface of several keys on my MacBook Pro wore off, actually making the letters unreadable. Wore the black plastic right off.
This happened right as it was exiting the 1 year warranty. Fortunately, I had an extra 2 years of "AppleCare" and as a result, got the entire top assembly, including the battery, replaced at about 13 months of age. Hopefully, they didn't use as cheap of materials on this keyboard as they did the last.
I think Steve Jobs would be pretty PO'ed about the QC of more recent Mac products - they were always expensive, but until a few years ago, were also pretty well built.
My transition to protonmail has been slow - mostly because I have so much invested in my gmail accounts. But I like the encryption and the ability to use my own domain name.
But this heavy encryption also means using a “bridge” app to be able to use apple’s Mail app with Protonmail. The update in question caused a hiccup that I had to deal with. All working now.
I will begin looking at a new Macbook Pro when the chips can handle more than 16GB of RAM. I realize the M1 chip supposedly handles memory better - but when working with really large files - I still need more RAM.
Back at you Sword!!! Sword Master. I only like the internet as far as computers go///// and opening numerous tabs (200 and more) on Brave and Chrome so for me it is an HP i5-8400 desktop, connected to a 27 inch IPS LED with Windows w 16GB Ram with a 500GB NVME drive from Western Digital. Installed on a desktop and a similar spec Dell laptop. Installed the same West Digital 500GB NVME on the Dell laptop plus a 16GBmem stick on the Dell laptop making this 20GB of memory total/
