AI Thread Summary
For a budget PC suitable for a 5-year-old, the AMD Sempron is recommended as an ideal choice, particularly the slower and cheaper models. Prices for Semprons start at approximately $45 without heatsinks/fans and $54 with them. Alternatively, the Celeron-D is another option, priced at around $66.50, but it is suggested that the Sempron may provide better value for this application. Building a system around a low-cost Sempron is considered a practical approach for educational purposes.

how about celeron-D ?
 
It looks about the same to me, except it costs $66.50 instead of $54.
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
