General Discussion / Very inexpensive prescription ...
Last post by ssfc72 - Yesterday at 08:17:06 AMI had an eye exam and got a new prescription.
My last pair of eye glasses I bought online from Goggle4U.com and they were very good eye glasses.
So I went to the Goggles4U website and found a nice eye pair of eye glasses. Rimless frames, progressive lenses, extra thin with scratch resistant coating.
$52 total cost, delivered by mail in about 2 weeks.
The eye glasses are again, well made and fit well. :-)

Last post by buster - October 30, 2026, 01:37:21 PMAI influenced stocks moving down today, but it's only 1:30, though many stock players don't like holding 'dangerous' stocks over a weekend, so may convert to cash as a safety measure.
Copied this Friday afternoon:
"Worries are rising about whether all those hundreds of billions of dollars will produce enough profit and productivity to make the investment worth it. At the same time, stocks of computer chip companies and other winners from the frenzy to build AI data centers have come under pressure on concerns that high interest rates may slow the further build out of data centers.
"We're moving out of the hopes and dreams phase of the AI trade and into the 'show me' phase," said Joe Tigay, portfolio manager at Equity Armor Investments, in a note to investors.
A drop of 4.7 per cent for the stock price of Nvidia, whose chips have made it the poster child of the AI frenzy, was the heaviest force pulling the S&P 500 downward, even more than Intel."

Last post by buster - October 28, 2026, 07:42:23 PMWhile this is hard to beat Bill, this one might do it, and I apologize if I didn't grab the one I watched and thought, "Are Americans this stupid to vote for this man?" (The comedy routine is down the page a fair distance.)

Last post by Jason - October 28, 2026, 12:35:23 PMQuote from: buster on October 27, 2026, 12:37:10 PMMicrosoft buying out 60,000 employees. AI seems to be the culprit, either in diversion of cash, or 'efficiencies'.
I guess at least they're actually buying them out, and not just laying them off. I expect the quality of everything will suffer as we alpha-test all the new crap AI makes. I know somebody who had a great atheist live video stream on YouTube, and then he used Vibe (it generates code based on descriptions of what you want) to set up new streaming features, and we all suffered through watching the feed drop out repeatedly to add all these new features. I expect they'll hire (or try to) back some software developers to fix everything AI breaks. Or they'll just make us put up with lowered quality.

Distributions / Mint is prepared to offer a lo...
Last post by buster - October 27, 2026, 05:28:06 PMI'm on a Mint long release that will receive updates for a couple more years, and my hardware doesn't need anything new, so I'm in no rush.
But somewhere around Feb/Mar I'll expect instructions to upgrade so I don't have to do much with what I've already got. I'll just, I hope, type a few instructions and watch it move up a notch.
Have kept the same system going a long time over two computers with a clone jump once. (Maybe twice. Hard to remember as the years flow by.)
This message is for people who want a good Linux system that just keeps chugging along year after year, and unlike a wife, doesn't require much upkeep.
