1987? Email address at university but didn’t know anyone off campus with an email address to use it with. There was a MUD one of the computer room assistants was coding.

Real Internet started for me around 1992 working for a company funded by Vint Cerf and Bob Khan. Found Mosaic on release date in 1993 on an ftp site and my mind was blown. Every morning I’d check the Cambridge coffee pot, and Library of Congress which was digitalizing documents and uploading new files all the time, and Adam Curry’s MTV which had a new article every few days or so.

NATO ISAF sent troops in January 2002. ISAF took command in 2003.

"Deployed in 2001 – initially under the lead of individual NATO Allies on a six-month rotational basis – ISAF was tasked, on the request of the Afghan government and under a United Nations (UN) mandate, to assist the Afghan government in maintaining security, originally in and around Kabul exclusively. NATO agreed to take command of the force in August 2003 "

2001 or 2003. Your claim that NATO never mobilized in Afghanistan is false.

Article 5 was invoked over a year possibly 2 years prior after 9/11

“The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) declared an Article 5 contingency through a series of resolutions of the North Atlantic Council enacted between September 12 and October 2, 2001, done in response to the September 11 attacks in the United States.”

Nato went into Afghanistan in 2001.

without Article 5

I already linked with sources that Article 5 was invoked and Afghanistan was a NATO mission, not the US and some allies.

NATO has never been mobilized.

Nato was mobilized for Afghanistan.

NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history after the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States.

NATO went to Afghanistan. France (part of NATO) was so against Iraq that they wouldn’t let the US use its bases for refueling. American politicians officially renamed French Fries to Freedom fries because they were mad at France and other members of NATO did not support Iraq and sent no troops.

Those Tualatin core CPUs were absolutely fantastic. They doubled them and made the Core2. I had one running for 10+ years. I don’t know what it was about the bios but it was the fastest boot PC I ever built.

Vans and minivans do everything trucks and SUVs do,

And move big things. I have a minivan. But I destroyed my suspension using it to rent yard equipment. I couldn’t rent many because they wouldn’t fit. There’s also the whole moving a muddy bush hog into my carpeted minivan that is a huge hassle.

If you want to go tiny you could get an Anbernic Gameboy like the RG35xxSP. They run Linux with a gaming UI on top. But it’s very easy to run full desktop Linux distros on them.

Jerryrigeverything has said don’t buy Pixel because they have horrible battery glue making them worse to repair than Apple.

But it’s probably still the best because of Graphene.

Some manufactured DVDs can go bad too.

Btw the CPU in the Lenovo P330 is an e-2174g. I also got an e-2274g.

I got a sff P330 Xeon with integrated graphics for ~$500 two years ago that includes case power supply etc. Far faster than an n100 and even lower power than if you added a GPU to an n100.

I just plugged in a kilowatt to check:

My Lenovo sff workstation running Plex idles at 15 watts- which is 90% of the time. Streaming 4k 52Mbs hevc (This Flash Gordon is my torture test that caused me to upgrade 2 years ago) it’s 18 watts! I was so surprised that I went back and unplugged the Ethernet thinking I put the killawatt on the wrong server.

What’s your budget? I’m a big fan of old Xeon servers.

I have two instances open for two different inboxes and try to pull one up on the taskbar, the wrong instance will pull up every single time without fail.

That sounds like how everyone always guesses wrong which way to plug in USB, not a specific problem with outlook.

Labels should be the default but UI designers on all platforms only care about appearance. Googling says you can change the taskbar to not combine instances and show labels. That way you always know what you are clicking.

Was it YouTube or someone else that reported him? I think YouTube is fully automated so it blocked him and is ignoring appeal because of the previous complaint.

I’m pro AI but absolutely fucking not.

The use case for AI is to summarize Wiki as an external tool. If Wikipedia starts using AI, it becomes AI eating its own tail.

Do you have any natural wood around like the desk? It could be a drop of resin that came out of wood.

In the future, all Fridges will do it. You’ll have 10 brands to choose from but they’ll all collect your personal data and send it out via built in cell service.
