AI Thread Summary
A laptop can power on when connected to the mains, but may fail to turn on after being unplugged, indicating potential issues with the battery or charger. If the battery is not charging while plugged in, the laptop might be running solely on mains power. Users should check for battery indicator lights to assess charging status.

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...
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...
