I believe this to a degree based on my personal experiences with being thought of as either a brilliant wizard or evil hacker for unimpressive things. It even would happen at different jobs until my current job where my boss is the opposite. he thinks that anything and everything is possible and should be “easy” despite being technically illiterate. His new AI obsession has made it so much worse. I actually miss the super annoying “OMG you can do that? You’re a wizard/hacker/demigod!” days.

I believe the previous post was talking about Wake on LAN (WoL) and Wake on WLAN (WoWLAN) which are separate things.

I bought one of these for my wife and we she has unfortunately had to switch back to her other phone due to some bugs. It seems to fail to be able to make phone calls or maintain bluetooth connections frequently. She has never had an issue receiving calls though. I’m still working on trying to find a solution for her because her old phone is a Pixel 6a which Google just nerfed the battery into oblivion like they did my 4a. I swear they have it out for us.

That one off movie where he combed the desert, but did not in fact find shit.

It was truly wild to meet him briefly at Defcon after years of seeing “FREE KEVIN” and such.

This is true because Linux users know that daemons are something that you can rein in and perhaps restart on occasion.

I am also a big fan of the MX518 lineage mice, so I hope someone make a version that has that shape. When Logitech released an updated MX518 several years back I bought a couple of them, so I will be good for years hopefully.

Maybe you just need to add a reverse psychology sign saying how so many people have fallen and it is a hip things for older couples to go do.

This made my day. I’d totally run a holodeck program based around Monster Squad.

Well, it’s true, I don’t understand what the fuck I just read.

My main issue with people doing it, and I have multiple, is that it isn’t just helping them with grammar and punctuation (I don’t have any problem with people having the little editor autocorrect). It is rewriting the message entirely. Many times the new AI produced message had nuance and tone either added or stripped out, and rarely it has added items entirely. I probably wouldn’t have noticed it if my CEO been had not been using it so heavily to restate what has already been stated elsewhere, especially in cases where I have read or written the original statement. Let me tell you that when you are told vehemently that you said something that you did not because of AI help it is beyond frustrating.

This is right up there with MS products replacing my double quotes with the stylized left and right quotes that end up fucking things up when copied into anything else. At least when I change them back, it doesn’t keep doing it like the really old versions of Word used to when they first added that sort of functionality (yes, i’m old).

At this point I have a difficult time trusting any tomatoes I don’t grow myself.

Quod Libet can do all of these things to my knowledge. It is currently my favorite linux music player.

I do like that particular fact lol, but the first movie is one of my favorite movies so everything else just doesn’t hold up to it. I think what did it the most was that all the attempts at satire in it just fell flat, like they were trying to mimic the first movie without “getting it”.

You are unwell because it is a poor way to watch a proper Robocop movie, to which I personally think that Robocop 2 barely counts (nothing afterwards other than maybe “Our Robocop Remake” counts at all).

I actually had this happen more than once because of a coworker that uses Copilot and it would help him with code and use functions not in existance. He has since finally stopped trusting Copilot code without more testing.

A 33MHz DX 486was great. If you got stuck with a slower SX CPU, things were frequently not so hot.

I’ve had great luck using Intel NUCs as home servers and HTPC boxes. Since those are now gone, I have found that Beelink is the most cost effective replacement when I needed to revamp the setup. My biggest complaint on them is that the cooling fans on them are not super reliable and it is not easy to find compatible replacements. I had to order them direct from China and there are a few wiring incompatible variants. I ended up with one of them being the wrong type and I had to resolder the leads to match the existing broken fan.

That would have been inevitable, but the previous poster skipped the obvious Dexter Takes Manhattan
