Why Won't Mozilla Run After PC Fan Repair?

AI Thread Summary
A user experienced a malfunctioning PC due to a non-working fan, which was subsequently replaced. However, after the repair, Mozilla Firefox only displayed the splash screen and would not launch. Attempts to resolve the issue included reinstalling the browser and deleting the Chrome RDF file, but these efforts were unsuccessful. Guidance was provided to uninstall Firefox completely, remove its settings folder, and manually delete specific registry keys. The successful resolution involved deleting the "mozregistry" and "mozver" entries from the registry before reinstalling Firefox, which restored its functionality.

Did you try to unistall it and remove the folder with all the settings. Also try going in the registry and manually removing the keys if there are any. Then try install it again.

Thread 'AI and Ethics in Journalism: The Sports Illustrated Scandal'

Interesting article about an AI writing scandal at Sports Illustrated: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/29/opinions/sports-illustrated-ai-controversy-leitch/index.html I hadn't heard about it in real-time, which is probably indicative about how far SI has fallen*. In short, the article discusses how SI was caught using AI and worse fake reporter photos/profiles to write game summaries. Game summaries are the short articles that summarize last night's Phillies game. They are so formulaic that...

Thread 'Looking for free Word Processor with at least some formatting features'

I've had it with Open Office Writer. Lost too many documents to spontaneous exploding. Even reflex Ctrl-S'ing every few minutes is too risky. I somehow managed to Ctrl-X a large table just before it exploded and I lost the entire thing. I'll give up some of the more sophisticated features. I want to set fonts/styles, use bullets, make tables and colour rows. Suggestions? I guess Google docs is an option, isn't it?
