Now they (Foxit and Acrobat) have AI junk shoehorned into the interface.

Please elect me leader of the world so I can bestow well-deserved punishments on every arsehole involved in all this so-called "AI" crap. :@

It's probably the biggest grift since crypto.

Any news on the computer, Peter?

Not really.

I disconnected the graphics and RAM, but neither had any effect on behaviour.

Trying to get anywhere with the supposed replacement machine is roadblock after roadblock, with a few brick walls and dead-ends thrown in.

Everything sucks. Anything that seems good is a lie or a temporary illusion.

:(

Sorry to hear that. The world of fixing (trying to) a broken computer is like this most of the time. Replacing it is often doubly so. I'm sure it will all work out in the end. As you aren't at the end yet that isn't much use.
