My journey with this IBuyPower computer continues. I have to admit I am VERY happy with this computer. I’ve had it for 8 years and she’s still cooking along. I wrote about my trouble with the graphics card which worked out great. It improved the performance greatly and I am happy with the NVIDIA GeForce...
Way back on 2/28/23 I wrote about my computer issues. They returned yesterday with some weird symptoms. Thanks to ChatGPT, we narrowed it down to the graphics card. The 1st symptom, I sleep my computer instead of turning it off for convenience. So I woke my computer up yesterday at 04:22 and it seemed okay....
UPDATE: I tried it again today (4/9/23) and I’m getting the same error, then I search the term again and I found an article. While I’m not a big fan of the Verge, they did talk to the guy in charge. AI image generator Midjourney has halted free trials of its service, blaming a sudden...
I’ve been on the internet for a long time! The US Air Force sent me to HTML school back in 1995 so you could say I’ve been here a while. I find it irritating and almost insulting that every website I visit requires me to accept some kind of cookie policy. Of course, I accept...
I’ve spent the last few weeks getting to know this phenomenon known as ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence as it were. (https://chat.openai.com/) So what exactly IS ChatGPT? Well, let’s ask it. Q? What does ChatGPT stand for? Oh-kay… that doesn’t sound interesting at all… but it is! Lately, instead of Google, I’ve been logging onto my...
I posted a blog a while back about how my computer would not start on Christmas Morning. Well, this morning it did it again. I would press the power button on the computer would turn on, then turn off, then turn on, then turn off and it would continue until I either unplug the power...
I’ve been working on a computer since I got out of the Air Force in 1987. It was an IBM PS 2 connected to a spectrometer in a metallurgical laboratory in Birmingham Al. I’ve owned a personal computer since 1991. It was handmade by some guy in California and came with a 10mb hard drive....
I turned on my phone this morning and was greeted by an ominous email from The “Google Search Console Team,” with the seeming dire warning… They provided me with a link to the console where I was told that the page davidfrancis.org/2023/02/ would not be indexed by Google because it contained the meta tag “noindex.”...
I recently did a search for “old YouTube videos and the results came up… it was “Meet me at the Zoo” by YouTube co-founder, jawed aka Jawed Karim on April 23, 2005. That got me to thinking, I uploaded one a long time ago… actually 16 years ago on October 29, 2006. It’s on an...
Carrie and I enjoyed a nice Christmas morning, we exchanged gifts and enjoyed our traditional breakfast ham sandwiches. She picked up her phone and I headed to my office to “check the internet.” I pressed the on button and my 2.5-year-old computer tried to turn on, then turned off, then on, then off, on, off,...
