Right I better go now because Claude is popping up all sorts of boxes all over my screen and keep moving my mouse about by itself !! :lol: :roll:
If Claude asks you "Do you want to play a game?" For everybody's sake, say no ;)

Claude: Would you like to play world domination?

Me: Sounds like a nice simulation.

Claude: Simulation?, no....not a simulation...first move....

Claude is very busy today..

One instance is actually running on my tablet which is logged into the server working on updating my Claude chatbot with more Atari information..

I updated MX to version 23 on my laptop and that was a bit problematic as it seemed to crash after downloading new updates and then it just came up some weird error on loading but after hard powering off a couple of times it finally decided to boot up and now my touch bar has gone weird :lol: :roll:

Getting Claude to work on my laptop was a pain, kept on saying illegal instruction which long story short, seems to be that Claude is using processor instructions which my processor does not have, so there was some going back in versions to using a older version which would actually run on my laptop.. so now Claude is now figuring out why the toast bar went funny..

On my main PC, Claude is also updating Linux, which has caused my theme and dolphin to act up a bit, but this was kind of expected anyway. Now I have been doing more testing, I've noticed a weird, redraw bug in dolphin, so Claude is currently trying to figure that out.

Dolphin had to be recompiled to add in some features I wanted, so hopefully one day I will be able to put my thought version on my own git page for people to use if they want, though that version really should be married with my Windows 7 theme as well.

At some point I shoild be able to download the whole theme onto my laptop and hopefully it will work...

My voice recognition program port. Not sure if it actually works I need to download and install on my laptop but probably may take a couple of days to test it out.

Will push my grub program later as well :)

Exxos Easy GRUB Manager

Slowly making MX more user friendly :lol: :hide:

Dolphin im adding in "auto mount" , yeah go ahead and moan, but its just to much work and faffing about otherwise. Currently it all seems to have some strange bugs like not finding my network drive and not auto refreshing when a media change is found etc..
