    Come on guys, don't bring attention to us Gen X lot. We've quietly become adjusted to being the ignored generation and we quite like it that way...

    “Millennial” is usually defined as those born between 1981 and 1996. I hate to be the one to bear this news, but anyone whose year of birth starts with ‘198x’ is either: already in their 40s, or hurtling towards their 40s :grin:

    I’m fine with being a “millennial”, but that “elder millennial” nonsense can piss right off :hehe:

    I was thinking the same.

    The Boomer’s period is usually defined as 1946 to 1964, meaning I’m from the last year of the Boomers.

    My record: 636kB base memory free *with* mouse driver, sound driver, MSCDEX, DOSKEY, *and* Smartdrive loaded. I could run *anything*.

    Impressive.

    Incidentally, installing DOS 6 with an updated Smartdrive then installing Windows, which changed the Smartdrv path to point to the older Windows version and tripped up DOS at boot, used to trigger me so hard.

    Obsidian Entertainment has, like so many companies now, decided that an LLM makes for a great customer-facing support "agent".

    obsidian.jpg

    ...it does not.

    For those wondering what the problem is: that support email goes to Obsidian the note-taking software-as-a-service outfit, not Obsidian Entertainment.

    Source.

    Here's a fun thing, too: nine CSS clocks generated by nine LLMs every minute. Some of 'em get close, to be fair, only to lose it the next minute - others fail miserably every single time. The Future(!)
