What annoys me is the people that try to buy a higher end product, and then low ball you, and say but I don't need that function, all I need is to use it for video out so I don't feel like paying higher price. I had a person that was trying to buy RTX 3080 from me for $100 and his excuse was, well I won't be playing games on it, I just need four monitor outout. Or someone was trying to buy 2TB Gen5 M.2 for $50, well I don't need the speed, is just for basic storage. Or i was offered $80 for 20TB hard drive, that person said well, right now I only about 7TB, so rest won't be in use Just some examples in last month or two... The guy with the 3080, I replied to with something like go to Chevy dealer and offer them $15K for that brand new corvette and tell them that you you only need to drive to work, so you don't need to go fast. There a lot of low ballers that try to take advantage. -

Here in Finland we have lots of rural areas with narrow roads, one of the highest taxes in the world (cars are taxed way above EU standards) and fuel is quite expensive. Yet we educate our drivers to drive responsibly and safely in all areas, and our people respect each others rights and freedom to move around safely. Which is why we have even small children under 10 years old walking and cycling alone to schools in the streets, even in big cities. Safety is about being responsible and about respecting others. And I would hate to see AI (or anyone else) destroy our way of life. There are and always will be outliers, accidents happen and machines break. I dont't want to see people relying on AI to do things like driving for them. I want people to think and react to the world around them themselves, and being responsible instead of them browsing TikTok or whatever instead of looking out the window, and then saying that "It wasn't me, it was the car". Already people walk around town with their eyes glued to a screen – I don't want people driving around the same way. -

And I should hope none will. I don't want to walk ouside to have some randome AI drive over me and mine. Not that I want a person to do it either but I want there to be an actual person who takes responsibility of their actions instead of relinquishing control to a machine. In some highways I can accept self-driving, but even then there should be some kind of dead man switch etc. that actually monitors the drivers status. -

No thank you. I want to drive myself, and not just because I don't trust a machine or whatever – I like driving, and I like doing it with a manual car without lane guidance and all other "driver assists". I wven rarely use cruise control. I went through and paid for to have a license to that allows me to do it, and do it responsibly instead of relinquishing control to a machine. I currently drive a van for work in a city, something like 200 km/day. If we everything is automated and computers decide everything for us, the dumber people will get since they don't have to bother thinking for themselves nor do they have to take responsibility for themselves since "it wasn't me, it was the machine" will be their future defence for everything. Soon, Neowin's writers will be out of a job because AI can do it just fine and it doesn't need pay. Wikipedia – a free service with voluntary writers – just started replacing real people with AI, and had to shut it down (at least for now). Lets let ai AI and those that run it (or rather run them) the keys the the world and watch it burn because no one is able to actually do anything without some AI assistant telling them what to do (driving included). What a world!

Question
Large
Hi OOP Mateys,
I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread that contains locations to FREE .Net controls, so I'll start the ball rolling with the new Power Pack I just found !
The VB.Net Power Pack over at Microsoft is a free download containing 7 new controls including Blending Panels and Notification Windows.
Link : VB.Net Power Pack
The Power Pack can also be used in C# !
They are a great addition to your .Net toolbox and they are free !
Enjoy ! :D
