Hi, I am an engineering and science guy. Started with C64 and programming in assembler and moved through almost any computer generation afterwards (Atari, Amiga, PC). Worked with Macs in the 90s which, I think, this led to my preference of Windows, Linux and Android till now. I don't like closed systems and take care of IT security by myself. Over the years I did some programming in alternating languages (Fortran, Pascal, C, VBA, JS, TS, Python). I also played games on all plattforms mentioned above and finally arrived (8 years ago) in VR which I cannot go back from. I also did some hardware development for my science projects.

Am a retired government worker who is retired and got my first computer about 25 years ago. Since I knew nothing about computers, gave my kids a piece of paper with the words "turn on" and "turn off" and had them write the instructions on how to use the computer. I first got a Windows computer and an android smartphone. Most of the kids were into Apple products so I transitioned into the Apple world around 2016 or so. I know have a 2019 MacBook Air as my main computer, the latest iPad from 2023 and a 2015 iPhone ProMax and enjoy using them all.
I'm still not that great with tech so run to the kids whenever I have an issue and they're always happy to help. Since they all grew up with computers, this stuff all come so easily to them. Just amazed at how much tech and the internet has taken over our lives though. But since it's here to stay, might as well learn as much as I can from it and thought this site might be a good way to learn.

Hello all,

I hope you don't mind me preferring to introduce myself as Wikiwide. I am a fan of retro technology, such as mobile telephones with hardware keyboard sliding (or swiveling) out - and running Linux (such as Maemo 5 Fremantle). Unfortunately, finding a pocketable mobile phone with capacitive+resistive touchscreen, sliding out qwerty/T9 keyboard with RGB LED backlight, 5G connectivity and running Maemo 7 Leste is impossible. So for now I have settled for trying to transition from ancient Nokia 1.3 to HMD Fusion. Which will probably involve getting a 3D printed case for HMD Fusion, at some point.

im rey somera aka aritao an AI enthusiast and i read about comparing CHAT GPT and GEMINI
7 things as TOM stated and "this is my view maybe in writing they have differences but to me CHAT gpt is wider in scope why one example is LLM cht gpt have a wide range of languages which GEMINI cant do limited thats 1advantage of cht gpt 2. cht gpt converts file or data into 1. word docx, excel and ppt . As user of CHAT GPT, chat gpt is more easier to use depends command prompt, gpt is also conversationalist. In comparison to me CHAT GPT is more useful tool than gemini "UNLESS" money involved thats why the one who review favor's gemini advance rather CHAT GPT. why not try chat gpt on LLM and you will be surprise it can generate and answer you in other language you want to prove it. Ergo CHATGPT IS BETTER.

Hi there and thx for letting me join the community. My name is Mikael and I am from Sweden.
Going to celebrate my 60th birthday later this month, and started to play video/pc games as late as 3 1/2 years ago,and have to say that I am hooked. 🫢
Have been fiddling around with computers for some years,but is not a wiz in any way,but love to build/rebuild them..for my self or for friends. I have heard about Angel snapping and would like to try it, but I can't for the life of me find the settings. I am using Logitech G502 Lightspeed and G-hub, but either I just need a new prescription for my lenses or there is NO settings to activate Angel snapping in G-hub/G502.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Mikael.
