Oh. Well then I couldn't find the setting on my parents' PC when it was pissing me off. Whatever.

The semantic search is the actual useful part.
Outside of.
- It's difficult to type on my phone's virtual keyboard
- I'm too busy to type
It's not that helpful.
When it gets to the point where AI can actually think, or when we have a real IoT, then it'll be notable to me.

I gotta stop telling jokes on this forum.

I'm sorry, I misinterpreted your joke to mean.

I am not a gamer, so I have never played the games themselves, but I am reading the books (in order according to Wikipedia). Have any of you read the books...? Am I going to miss massive parts of the story because I haven't played the games?

The original mac team didn't even want you to be able to customize your desktop backgrounds as you could put a "bad looking one" on there and spoil the overall aesthetic. So I expect that they just didn't want people to choose colours they didn't think went well and was finally ran out of excuses and had to implement it.
I remember reading this somewhere but I can't even find the reference now.

Maybe so but it came pretty quick. The Mac II allowed it and it shipped with like Mac 4.x. That just let you make a 8x8 pixel pattern in a single color, though. Image backgrounds didn't come until like Mac 8.x. Pretty much the exact same time Windows got them.

Windows 3.0 could already have BMPs as background; the box says it’s copyright 1990, while my MacOS 8 box has a copyright date of 1997. Anyway, here’s one I made earlier:

Not surprised at all to find this very same attitude turning up in the GNOME team. If Apple did it, it must be right!
