I bid on a sports card and the photo seemed to match the description. But as soon as it closed I saw that it was not what was in the title. Wrong year, wrong set and most importantly it was sold as an autograph and it was not. He immediately responded that “I dkw it says that” then “you should noticed the error” then I responded, no problem just reverse the payment and we are good and I’ll leave good feedback as soon as completed” He responded that “you need to be more careful when bidding”. I said it was fine just reverse the payment and cancel. Within 5 minutes he responded “too late, mailing”. I tried to cancel myself or file with eBay but the response was I needed to wait for delivery to complain and give seller an opportunity to resolve. The seller will not respond. The tracking information provided does not actually track to a package in route (three days later) so do I just keep waiting for the wrong item to possibly arrive before I can formally do anything? BTW this is a really small order (about $12) but it is just so annoying that he has over 300 currently listed and upon review I see he has duplicated the same fake titles.

AI actually was able to create 16 new viruses. Not computer viruses, actual viable viruses. The writer notes that there could be some concern that AI viruses may be harmful but for now this is good news. Really?

I am a first time user and had tried for a couple of weeks to get my 5 year old IdeaPad-5 to work. I tried multiple USB sticks. I flashed and refreshed the sticks. I turned off Secure Boot. I renumbered the priority on the drives. No matter what I did I was stuck at Bash Prompt and it just would not load. Finally this weekend I got it. The problem was the quick start from sleep. I had assumed if I held down the power button that it was fully powered off. I changed the power button from “sleep” to “shut down” and just like that it resolved. I had not seen this as
Part of the original instructions. There were lots of posts about BIOS and security and various other things. But I just had not seen that the default for the IdeaPad was always to sleep/hibernate and not to simply power off. Everything installed, no issues. I’m sure most are rolling their eyes at my noob attempt and solution (essentially turn it off and turn it on) but that simple answer was such an ah ha for this tech limited dude.

When I was in college (late 80’s) the upperclassmen would tape copies of their “ding letters” to their doors and highlight the “we do not have and will not a position for you in our company” and others like that. It seems like a very Gen-X thing to do but perhaps the new generations still do this?

There were five final (single copies) of the creating cylons. All of them ended up on Gallactica and four of five were assigned to Gallactica. To our knowledge all other Battlestars except Pegasus were destroyed. So was it just really lucky that all of the final five were on Gallactica or do you think it was a grand plan to put them on Gallactica and then let it escape?
