Okay. computer novice here with hopes of advice.

Are we all supposed to be using a protection subscription like McAfee, bitdefender, Norton, Total AV, etc., ALONG WITH something like Malwarebytes, etc.; or, is one or the other all we need? I have no clue anymore as to all, some, one of the services I'm supposed to use for my little world here.

How many different computer protection services am I supposed to keep up to date?

These datacentres consume a staggering amount of electricity and increasingly, a surprising amount of water. But unlike the water you use at home, much of the water used in datacentres never returns to the water reuse cycle.

Despite all its billions, ChatGPT is less smart than an Atari from almost 50 years ago.

ChatGPT "got absolutely wrecked" playing beginner level chess with Atari.

ChatGPT "made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd grade chess club" while insisting over and over again that it would win "if we just started over" and blaming Atari's icons for being "too abstract to recognize."

And it's a sore loser.
