I… I thought a middle manager is any manager who’s not the very lowest manager, and not the CEO? As in, any manager who has managers above and below them?

I fell for a similar (but less) obvious joke on my first Linux installation back in 1995. That one used dd instead of rm. I lost a lot of code that I had written. After that, I’ve failed to see the humor in this kind of joke. There’s always the risk that someone new doesn’t understand it’s a joke, and tries it out.

They dont need to invade to conquer. They already control the president.

Yep. America is now, whether they understand it or not, a vassal state to Russia just like Belarus.

Zelensky should stop the war

Why is it he who should stop it? Why not Putin?

Like so many have said, if Putin stops fighting, there will be no more war. If Zelenskyj stops fighting, there will be no more Ukraine. One of these is the better option. I’ll give you a hint - it’s not the second one.

Well, at least in our case, it wasn’t something that we bought. I’m pretty sure it came with our MS-DOS.

That was it, yes.

I figured it out - it was memmaker. It automatically edited autoexec.bat (and possibly also config.sys, I’m not sure).

I was talking to a friend just the other day about that. I remember some application we used to reconfigure autoexec.bat to optimize it for one type of memory or the other, but I can’t remember the name of the application (I think it came with the OS), and I can’t remember what the different memory types were called either.

Lol, of course not.

… my cutting hammers are in the bathroom.

Yes. I’ve experimented with this too. This is the perfect use case for LLMs - there are no wrong answers, the LLM should just make something up, which is what it does.

Agreed. As far as I know, there is no actual artificial intelligence yet, only simulated intelligence.
