Back on Masto.

I store my work and private files on a USB which until recently backed up on the Norton cloud. This was good, so of course they've withdrawn this functionality. I want the USB files to be the originals so I can work if internet down. Suggestions, absolute certainty no AI scraping. #microsoft

I've had a weird issue on windows 11 PC where twice now, the time has been incorrect. Just out by a few minutes. This time it was 7 minutes fast. I nudged it correct, but I'm wondering why this would happen. The CMOS battery is new. Any ideas? #Windows11 #techadvice

Nhiều nhà phát triển đang vội vàng tích hợp AI vào sản phẩm, dù không phải lúc nào cũng cần thiết. Bài viết cảnh báo không nên biến AI thành cái búa đi tìm đinh. Thay vào đó, hãy xác định vấn đề cần giải quyết trước, rồi cân nhắc liệu AI có thể hỗ trợ chiến lược hay không. Đừng để AI lấn át bản chất sản phẩm, hãy dùng nó như một công cụ hỗ trợ thông minh.
