It would be interesting to see another study focusing on cognitive load. Maybe the AI let’s you offload some amount of thinking so you reserve that energy for things it’s bad at. But I could see how that would potentially be a wash as you need to clearly specify your requirements in the prompt, which is a different cognitive load.

Any reason you need to encrypt the host OS information? I would assume anything interesting would be in the VM and you could probably have the VM encrypt it’s own storage.

To make sure there is not a misunderstanding, the wattage of a PSU is not how much power it will draw. The wattage is how much is can supply. So if you have a 1000w PSU, but all your components draw 200w of power it will use about 200w of power.

Additionally, if you plan to get a lot of HDDs in the future, do some research on power rails. Some PSUs are designed to only be able to supply a small amount of power to things like HDDs because most people only have 1 or 2.

I have used audiobook shelf to read a couple of PDF files. Seemed to work fine. I mostly use it for audio books.

If you have mechanical HDD you may want to get a foam lined case and anti static bags. That should be the best approach to avoid drive damage.

As for leaving things in the rack, I am concerned that road vibration could walk screws out. That would be bad.

In a practical sense, making lead hot won’t break it down. But I wonder if there is any temperature where lead would stop being lead and continue to not be lead after the results cool down again?

Sounds like you might have buried it instead of processing. Perfectly understandable response, but I’m glad you got an opportunity to process in your own way.

My wife and I were living together for more than a decade before we got married. Our primary reasons for getting married were tax benefits and reducing legal complications if one of is in the is hospitalized or dies. Our wedding was followed at the court house followed by a very fancy lunch with 2 friends that acted as our witness’s.

Getting married has made no real difference in our relationship, besides now we split a joint tax return.

I understand it is normal human behavior to focus on negative things and an evolved survival trait. But it is kind of sad that no answers have any positive thoughts about the future. So I will try one:

Computer and robotic technology will improve and get cheaper. It will become feasible for home bound people to be able to have some sort of participation in society through telepresence.

When mine did that it required a battery replacement. Got replacement from this site: https://batterysharks.com/. Also, maybe you should stop doing things that aren’t absolutely necessary until you’ve taken a nap.

It’s not reliable. I will get a message on my phone that doesn’t show up on my PC for 20 minutes. I’ll get a notification on my phone but some times not on my PC. I hate that I have to have my phone ping for everything that ever happens because I can’t trust the desktop version to actually tell me.

But you don’t understand. This is the Internet. You are either a saint or the anti-christ. There is nothing In-between and nuance is propaganda. And if you don’t agree with my currently held emotionally charged position, you are what’s wrong with (fill in the blank).

I think a group of people found a dead horse they like beating. They enjoy it, so they will keep going.

As for food functionality it is very comparable to software remote control of a computer. There are 3 key features that stand out:

• It does not rely on the target machine being booted into the OS. This means you can access it even if it crashes or locks up.
• It can “push” the power button on the machine. This requires an accessory that plugs into the motherboard. So you can force a machine off or cold boot a system.
• You can mount a boot ISO. This is like having a bootable flash drive in the target machine so you can install an OS remotely.

Edit: Because this is essentially full access to the machine as if you where physically at it, it should be considered a security risk. Not saying that you need to be scared of it, but you should be aware of the risk and protect it from unauthorized access.

My perspective. I don’t think anyone has done anything wrong in this situation. You are clearly upset because you are worried about your friend. You are upset because the other person does not feel the concerned for your friend the way you are. That response is understandable, but not rational. Humans be like that.

I think the idea of leaving your family celebration early to spend some time with your friend is a reasonable solution. Nobody gets everything, but nobody is left out.

I understand that my view point is lacking in years of nuance for the situation and could be totally off. I leave you to judge how accurate/useful my perspective is.

I’m inclined to treat the body with what I would call “professionalism”. You are not emotionally attached beyond the desire to do your job well. Though I am not opposed to some people getting a burial at sea. The better for them to be forgotten.

Many times the best way to respond to strong emotions is to just sit with it. Sit and do nothing but experience it. Don’t try to “solve the problem”, don’t shove it down.

If the iGPU is getting the job done, I would leave that alone. You could add a GPU and pass it through to a gaming VM. But that is an entirely different project.

Proxmox is basically a VM management software that runs in a Debian install. You may be able to add it to your current install, but I am not certain about that.

I think people were already making the internet worse. AI just helps them make it worse faster.
