  Google Chrome 64 Bit Query
Posted by: Neil F - 30-03-2023, 09:07 PM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (3)

My laptop is Win 11 64 Bit -fully updated. Today, using, FilePuma I selected update to Google Chrome 111 .0.5585.147  (64 bit)  I had problems with completing the update so followed Google Help , and using Revo Uninstaller V 2.4.4 (latest)  I uninstalled Chrome -including the leftovers . then reinstalled the 64 bit version. In File properties it shows as 64 Bit but in Revo Uninstaller it shows as Type 32 Bit 

Why does the Type 32 Bit show instead of 64 Bit?
Guidance please
thanks 
Neil

  Rabies
Posted by: nzoomed - 30-03-2023, 01:27 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (1)

First case in NZ.

https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/03/30/overs...irst-case/

Horrible way to die, was pretty frightening to see people getting attacked from wild monkeys on a beach in Thailand.
There was a video from a travel vlogger who got bitten by one at the beach and was rushed to the hospital to receive a rabies shot.

  CAD programs
Posted by: brucem - 30-03-2023, 01:17 PM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (2)

I have had several cad programs in the past starting with Imagineer Technical, a good but expensive approx $1000 in the late 80's when I was still working, it later became Smart sketch, and I couldn't upgrade.  Since then I have had some cheapies, at least one dissapeared without trace, leaving lots of drawings on file and unable to be opened.  I am looking for something cheap (preferably free).  I have found some free ones on the net, and one - Librecad looks as if it would be OK.  Does anyone know it or can recommend an alternative?

  Where can I get free legal aid?
Posted by: Roscoe - 30-03-2023, 06:59 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (3)

I have been seriously defamed and I would like to take action against the person who has defamed me. Unfortunately I cannot afford a lawyer as I am on the pension and a lawyer costs over $600 an hour! That is two thirds of my fortnightly pay! 

I had a look online and I found that I can get legal aid but it is as the title says, "aid" and it needs to be repaid and I just can't afford that.

My question is where can I access legal help that I do not have to repay? Is free legal help available? 

Thanks for your help.

Thumbs Down Corrupt Newshub Framing Posie Parker as Nazi
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 29-03-2023, 06:18 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (19)

You wont get the truth if you keep watching our useless media.

Check this out here, skip to 2mins into the video.
Newshub blur her hand out in her video and say she was making a nazi gesture, but all she was doing was adjusting her zipper!
This is getting bloody ridiculous now.
Oh and by the way, the person who threw the tomato sauce on her is now facing charges.

  Sack Marama Davidson!
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 28-03-2023, 08:40 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (62)

For her stupid remarks about "White Cis Men" being the cause of violence.
This weekend, Minister for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence Marama Davidson proudly declared on camera: “I am the prevention [of] violence Minister, and I know who causes violence in the world, and it’s white cis men.”
As alarming as it is to once again be confronted by how easily and happily our Government differentiates us based on skin colour, it is also an example of how this kind of racialised politics doesn't help anyone.
It certainly doesn't help all of the victims of family violence that was not caused by a white man. Does the minister not consider them in her work? New Zealand has some of the worst statistics for family violence in the OECD!
Her abhorrent statement is actually receiving endorsement from groups and individuals who clearly have a warped and inaccurate picture of the world and no understanding of how family violence dominates our violent crime statistics.

This person is not material for her position in power.

  Yet another school shooting in America
Posted by: Roscoe - 28-03-2023, 06:30 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (15)

I find it hard to understand why a school shooting in America is news. It's not as if it's anything unusual. They do it on a regular basis. 

Anywhere else in the world that would be news but why do they report a shooting in the land that invented school shootings? And they said on the news that the gunman had an arsenal of weapons and ammunition. But that's the case with all these maniacs that go on a killing spree.

So why do the news people think it worth reporting? It's just a normal happening in America. It does not make sense.

  AI
Posted by: harm_less - 27-03-2023, 03:48 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (9)

This is an interesting take on the progress being made on AI. As this technology advances the ability to recognise it from 'the real thing' will become increasingly difficult. My partner is a tutor at a distance learning college and has plagiarism detecting software in her toolbox but AI generated content puts a whole different perspective on this issue.

  America today; principal resigns after students see Michelangelo's David
Posted by: Lilith7 - 26-03-2023, 02:21 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (11)

Oh dear -  so now the ignorance is spreading to the arts. A parent complained that the naked statue of David is 'pornography.' Rolleyes Dodgy

This is getting really pathetic now & given the inroads into women's rights which have been made there you really have to wonder if America isn't slipping back into far earlier times.


https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65071989


"A principal of a Florida school has been forced to resign after a parent complained that sixth-grade students were exposed to pornography.
The complaint arose from a Renaissance art lesson where students were shown Michelangelo's statue of David.
The iconic statue is one of the most famous in Western history.
But one parent complained the material was pornographic and two others said they wanted to know about the class before it was taught.
The 5.17m (17ft) statue depicts an entirely naked David, the Biblical figure who kills the giant Goliath.
The lesson, given to 11 and 12-year-olds, also included references to Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" painting and Botticelli's "Birth of Venus".

Principal Hope Carrasaquilla of Tallahassee Classical School said she resigned after she was given an ultimatum by the school board to resign or be fired."

Our methane emissions cant be significant enough to be of concern!
But, hey lets tax the shit out of our evil farmers for destroying the planet.
Also its just emerged that a recent IPCC report has discovered that they have actually overestimated the impact of agricultural emissions, in other words, its not as "bad" as previously thought!
