Call me old fashioned, but to me a search in the computers task bar should be a search in LOCAL files only. If I want to find random shit from the Internet I would use a proper search engine. Right now, windows search is just rubbish for both local files and Internet content.

In an unmodified windows it would also show random tabloid news from MSN or affiliates inside the start menu…
It usually works if you change the wording in your prompt so it describes what you want, instead of calling it by his common name. Instead of “create an image of Donald duck smoking a cigarette” you can try “an image of an amphibious bird with white feathers in an sailors attire, with burning rolled paper in his beak”.
On the plus side: he is also invisible to face scanning from security cams and billboards.

8·8 months agoA second reason for growing Internet energy consumption is that we spend more and more time on-line. Before the arrival of portable computing devices and wireless network access, we were only connected to the network when we had access to a desktop computer in the office, at home, or in the library. We now live in a world in which no matter where we are, we are always on-line, including, at times, via more than one device simultaneously.
While I agree with the point, i would like to remind everyone about the insane amount of news papers and print magazines that where produced, printed, shipped, read once and then discarded, especially up to the early 2000s before paper sales started to tank. I think it’s muchore effective and cheaper to transfer this content via the Internet instead.
