AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the compatibility of an older Intel P4 1.5 GHz system with an Analog Goldstar monitor. Users express confusion regarding the monitor's ability to work with Windows XP, with one participant suggesting that a proper connection to the video card is essential. They mention the availability of adapters to facilitate this connection. A refurbished 17" VGA CRT monitor was highlighted as an affordable option, reinforcing that running Windows XP at 1024x768 resolution is feasible even with older hardware. One user successfully switched to VGA mode in the BIOS, achieving a resolution of 800x600 at 32-bit color depth, indicating that while the monitor is old, it remains functional for basic tasks. The conversation emphasizes that many analog monitors are still in circulation, and modern video cards typically support them with appropriate adapters.

It's not obvious to me why that shouldn't be possible. Is there something special about an "Analog Goldstar monitor"?
Can your monitor be connected to your video card?

You can try looking for an adapter so that it can connect to your video card. If you can get the POST screen (Bios) to come up, then you get WinXP to work.
The other day I saw a refurbished 17" VGA CRT for only 30$.

Unless it is an especially bad monitor, you shouldn't have a problem. People were running 1024x768 at 16bits 10 years ago and that's what you need for XP.

yup, that what I thought initially, why XP won't run on Analog Monitor contrary to what my vendor told me, I think he wanted to screw me.
I changed to VGA mode in BIOS and its running perfectly with 32bit resolution(800X600). I think my monitor is quite old by age but quite young in the nature of output work

Though most new monitors are digital, there are lots and lots of analog monitors out there and most video cards today still come with dvi to vga adapters.
Here's an upcoming presentation from the grad school I attended about applying AI to fundamental physics, namely, analyzing high-energy scattering data:

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...
This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening.
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...
