I like the page on “Pumping” which as far as I can tell is a completely made up term https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/glossary/what-is-pumping/

There’s a page for “Minecraft commands” but not one for Minecraft. It’s also incredibly wrong.

Oh no…

For example, they can spawn mobs, summon items, change weather conditions or even initiate a minigame.

To undo a command, the first thing you need to do is locate the command block that contains it. Then you can use the “/undo” command to revert back to the game state before the command was executed.

… while “/weather” lets you change the environment from rain to snow.

Building a house in Minecraft requires the use of several different commands. Firstly, you’ll need to use “/fill” to quickly and easily create walls, floors, and other structures. After that, you’ll want to make use of “/clone” so that you can copy and paste specific parts of your house without having to build them all from scratch. Finally, you’ll use “/summon” to spawn in furniture and other decorative items. With these four commands, any player can have a beautiful home built in no time!

The 4th command is a secret well kept…

The “/noai” command in Minecraft can be extremely useful when trying to create a more challenging and realistic gaming experience. This command prevents any artificially intelligent entities, such as zombies and creepers, from attacking or following the Player.

Ah, yes, more challenge by literally making zombies be braindead.

LMAO /noai sounds like someone’s successful attempt at poisoning the model

Some finds:

Run

Yes, Run can significantly improve the startup time of your computer. By prioritizing essential startup processes and optimizing the boot sequence, it reduces the time it takes for your system to be fully operational after powering on.

Mickey

The number of mickeys in a mouse is determined by its hardware and sensor technology. Modern mice have high dots per inch (dpi) sensors, which provide more mickeys per inch, allowing for fine-grained control.

Incognito Mode

You should also clear out any cookies stored from sites visited while in incognito mode so that they don’t continue tracking you even after turning off private browsing modes.

The Future Of AI

“Will AI help me become a better programmer?” Absolutely. … This means you’ll be able to write code that’s more efficient and with fewer errors, saving you time and effort.

Apparently the Mickey thing is an actual term, not something they made up

I searched around trying to double check it, and the first related thing I found was this same ‘glossary entry’ :|

It’s just a silly name for DPI, but it does exist.

I went to a trivia night at a local bar with a guy from high school and his family. We were in contention for the top. The whole night I was useless, since most of the questions were about European sports legends or actors or singers from the 20th century. The guy starts feeling up the last question:

“This is a tricky one and one of my favorites. Going to the realm of technology… What is the name for a unit of measurement, named after a Disney character, which is related to how far your mouse moves?”

The whole family looks at me, cause I’m known to be a tech guy.

Complete blank. Flustered. Uhhh uhmmm it’s called DPI? Pointer speed?? Is there a Disney character called Peter Pointer?..

We lost. They were disappointed, but not as disappointed as I was in myself.

Went up to the trivia guy at the end to ask him to show his sources. He pulled up a legit looking wikipedia article so I accepted my defeat.

Definitely AI, but they might do it because there is a lot of clueless parents who, when their kid have a problem with their game, decide to call the first brand they see on the PC (here Lenovo). Putting those answers in a glossary saves Lenovo’s time.

As a side note sqlite had a similar problem with McAfee:

2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be "sqlite_". But then Mcafee started using SQLite in their anti-virus product and it started putting files with the "sqlite" name in the c:/temp folder. This annoyed many windows users. Those users would then do a Google search for "sqlite", find the telephone numbers of the developers and call to wake them up at night and complain. For this reason, the default name prefix is changed to be "sqlite" spelled backwards. So the temp files are still identified, but anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid of the file.
