Computer Basics for Beginners: Get Started Now

AI Thread Summary
For beginners learning about computers, it's essential to start with the fundamentals of computer systems architecture. Key areas of focus include understanding the operating system (OS) and its functions, basic hardware components like the mouse, and the concept of software. Beginners should learn how to install and run software applications. Additionally, many computers come with built-in tutorials to guide users through basic operations. If these resources are unavailable, seeking assistance from the place of purchase can provide tailored guidance for specific computer models.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI.

That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
