AI Thread Summary
To upgrade to version 10.5 from 10.4.11, a new purchase of 10.5 is required, as updates from 10.4.x to 10.5 involve a major version change. Minor updates, indicated by changes in the third component of the version number, can be downloaded for free. For Intel Mac users, it is advisable to hold off on purchasing 10.5 unless an urgent upgrade is necessary, as version 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") is expected to be announced soon and will offer improved efficiency for Intel Macs.

I was thinking if I have to buy new cd for getting 10.5 version or I can update to 10.5 from 10.4.11?

Thanks.

You have to buy 10.5 if you're at the 10.4.x level or below. When only the third component of the version changes, it's a "minor" update that you can download for free.

Suggestion: If you have an Intel Mac, don't buy 10.5 now unless you really need to upgrade in a hurry. There are rumors that 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") will be announced at MacWorld next week and will be available in the next couple of months. It's being designed to be significantly more efficient on Intel Macs.
 

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
