AI Thread Summary
Creating a custom front for a computer tower with a missing panel can be accomplished by using acrylic sheet plastic. Local shops that sell acrylic can provide assistance, especially if you explain your project and budget constraints. It's advisable to visit a shop with the case to discuss your needs, as they may offer helpful tips on cutting and gluing the material. You can purchase pre-cut pieces or find scrap materials in various colors, such as deep red or cobalt blue, which can enhance the case's appearance when illuminated with LEDs. For sourcing acrylic sheets in Pennsylvania, searching online for suppliers in Philadelphia or other medium-sized towns will yield numerous options.

You probably have a shop in town that sells acrylic sheet plastic. Haul the case in there, show them what you want to accomplish. Explain you probably don't want to spend a fortune on this. If they don't think you are going to waste their time they will sometimes be helpful, particularly if they think it is going to turn out to be something novel and cute. Ask for a little advice on how to cut and glue acrylic. You can buy a piece cut to size or you might even be able to get a small piece of scrap from their left over bin in deep red or even cobalt blue that should make an impressive front of a case if you illuminate it from behind with appropriate large LEDs.

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...
