Same here, and I’m not sure what I’ll go to next - the USB port has gotten flakey.
I want to try a Linux phone, but hardware seems to be made of unobtainium, and the software seems like it’s not quite there yet.
Part of me is tempted to just get another pixel 7 Pro on swappa.
One of the selling points for an oven we were looking at was that you could start preheating it while you were driving home from the grocery store.
I’m sure someone thinks it’s a good idea to start a hot box up targeting 400° without anyone home. But to me that just screams fire hazard.
Oh, and helpfully it can also do firmware updates over wifi… I don’t want my oven to have firmware.
We ended up buying the best “dumb” oven we could find, but pretty much every one of the higher end ones had internet connectivity.
Tell me you’re slacking off at your day job without telling me you’re slacking off at your day job:
Landry, in a post on X, thanked Trump: “It’s an honor to serve … in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S. This in no way affects my position as Governor of Louisiana!”
Yes this is a distraction - but we also need to remind ourselves that this shit isn’t normal even if it weren’t a distraction.
In the middle of the Clinton blow job scandal, Bill didn’t go off saying New Brunswick needed to become a state to secure our national supply of bowling balls or some shit.
Trump can be making a distraction and also moving the Overton Window at the same time.
Are you in IT? I swear, every conversation with a male, married coworker is the same:
My dudes. I’ve been married for nearly 20 years now. Our sex life changed as we got older but it’s still banging. I play video games with her, she laughs at my jokes/memes. I can’t imagine either being alone or with someone else.
Not only never go on holiday or see your family ever again, but crucially “you better be loyal/work harder than citizens lest we fire you and your visa expires.”
I just wish I didn’t have crabgrass everywhere out back. It looks awful and does nothing to actually retain soil, and as a result my backyard is lumpy AF.
I’ve never used it, does it handle docx authorship better than libre?
Honestly, I’m not even 100% sure they need Word or if they’re just being told that by their boss.
It’s $150 for a “perpetual” license - but that’s not including any one drive storage. The Office 365 SaaS (I think now it’s Microsoft 365?) starts at $99/year.
I know this because I’ve been trying to find a solution for my sister who absolutely needs office to get a workable solution for Linux. Supposedly, she has to submit papers/writing as docx and can’t trust LibreOffice not to fuck up formatting.
Maybe a controversial take, but I like pihole for blocking only - I have a pair of powerDNS servers set up for my internal name resolution. They recurse to Pihole, but can fall back to internet DNS servers if Pihole isn’t responsive.
I tried pihole for local resolution and found it to be a fairly large pain to automate. Plus kubes has PDNS hooks for auto-updating DNS entries.
Or just have a hard cut-off for software released after 2022.
It’s the only way I search for recipes anymore - a date filter from 1/1/1990 - 1/1/2022.
If those pesky illegals want to come here, they need to do it the right way.
NO, NOT LIKE THAT!
You can try chucking smelly treats near it. Don’t make eye contact and try to be small - sit or crouch with your body facing away from the dog. Bundle up because it could take a while.
I have dyndns. I don’t recommend them, unless a coworker just gave you their lifetime pro account for free.
Thanks Roody, wherever you are!
I’ve gotten dinged for not having enough accounts/credit lines.
My old car payment fell off last month, and I bought a car with cash (not a great car, but it was cheap) - now I’m in the “fair” zone.
But fuck me for not wanting a shitload of credit cards/loans, right?
Here’s how this goes down. Roberts, Alito, and Thomas retire, Trump appoints three new super right Heritage justices. This bill is passed and forces out Sotomayer and Kagen - and is upheld by the new super majority SCOTUS. But then when time comes for Gorsuch, someone sues and it goes back up to SCOTUS who decides, “oh shit, yeah turns out there was a constitutional argument against term limits!” … and term limits go away again.
Lest Android users (like myself) think we’re immune, Google has been known to nuke accounts too, leading to a similar outcome.
I’ve been trying my best to get out of a “one account for all” mentality - photo backups are probably the #1 problem for me right now.
I’ve got the local storage, but I’m not sure about exposing immich to the Internet for photos access when I’m not at home.
I don’t think the OP is saying we’ll have LLM Terminators walking around saying, “I will be back!” while mowing down people.
But deaths attributed to LLMs have already started:
Sure, this seems to be just playing on existing mentally ill people, so let’s ignore them for now.
What about “AI” pointing the gun and having someone else pull the trigger?
What happens when a trigger happy cop gets adangerous sounding alert and decides to go in guns blazing?
I don’t believe for a minute that the military isn’t looking at weaponizing this detection by also having AI “decide” if it should attack.
Then there’s the AI in robo taxis - surely those are 100% accurate. Well they had better be - car deaths are the the highest cause of accidental deaths in the US.
I could go on about how AI hallucinating in medical notes taken by copilot could lead to improper prescriptions, or how AI hallucinating could do things like tell people to put glue on pizza.
I mean, I guess some outcomes are just injury not death so…
Yeah, if you don’t worry about someone impersonating your account you don’t have to reserve.
For gaming content, I’ve been following CallMeKevin for several years. His stuff is always a good time.
This is what I use and it’s been a godsend in my home lab.
