“Vendors are throwing AI at EVERYTHING. For some things it’s helpful. For others, like this when it’s clearly still a work in process it just gets in the way. Dear Vendors, when rolling out new AI stuff, tell us. Show us where the enable, disable settings are. I get it that we’re your beta testers. But if it’s a cloud service on subscription? It’s not that “sticky” in my organization and I can find another vendor.“

This week’s #AskWoody free newsletter delves into #AI generated art. It considers “ethical factors”, while completely ignoring the environmental ethical factors.
Not exactly essential use of anyone’s computer, let alone natural resources! Sorry for this TL:DR summary. 🤦♀️

Woody had a very varied life, and his background (of which I only knew snippets) was quite surprising. His unique writing style was very readable and engaging, but it was not his original training. Above all else, he had a wicked sense of humour. Gone far too soon.

#AskWoody How to preserve your #battery charge on a #Windows 11 laptop

Last week, for the SMBCommunityPodcast, I had the opportunity to speak with smart person Will Faiste, editor of #AskWoody, about the future of #AI and humans. He wrote commentary in the AskWoody Plus newsletter (https://www.askwoody.com/plus-membership) that had a take on this issue that I thought was important and interesting.
Have a listen! https://smbcommunitypodcast.com/2023/04/ai-news-and-other-click-bait/

“Windows 10 is going to be supported until October 14, 2025 and if you are like me, you are going to squeeze every single last bit out of that operating system – or rather – until the hardware won’t run it or it it’s too risky to run it anymore.”
If you're into Windows tech or have tech questions - A good follow would be:
