Can any of you tell me what name or spec of plug will fit this power socket? The opening is roughly 4 mm x 17 mm overall, with a square end and a round end. It is for charging a lithium battery, and I don’t think the original cord had a lump/brick in it. Of course I lost the cord. #WhatIsIt#HiveMind#electronic
In the '90s we still shipped software on 3.5" floppies. At the company I worked out, one of our tools was a: 3.5in Disk Duplicator. It was an external drive with a mechanical arm. The drive tilted up at 45 degree angle to accept a new disk and then down to eject it.
I think it was called a Mac Douglas Disk Duplicator.
Can anyone help find a picture or other reference?
Looking to probe the #hivemind 🐝 of Mastodon in my search for a #fooddiary 🥯 🔖 app on #android . I have various gastrointestinal issues including #ibs and I want to know the ingredients I have consumed and at what time during the day. This means that most of the many calorie / macro-nutrient trackers out there are not appropriate. Ideally, it will be a local-first and #privacy conscious solution. Boosts very much appreciated. What I have already looked at...
#Hivemind some help. In my personal #Agile friend group, I know 10-15 people who're looking for work right now. I plan to make infrequent postings to promote my friends. Help them network, etc.
Two things:
What would you want to know about someone that would get you to connect and talk to them?
How would I need to frame the whole thing so that you repost/reshare so these people get to know more people than I do?
(The post will be on LinkedIn since that's were ppl have profiles)
Is there an #app for #Android that shows me all available #mobile wireless networks and if #5G is theoretically possible even if my current provider doesn't offer 5G? The phone supports 5G. I want to know what alternatives I have.
I beg your pardon; I saw only your second toot and pressed reply without looking for a first.
I think we are both right, but I had not twigged that you thought it improbable that folks might anthropomorphise the machines. In my limited experience humans have a low threshold for thinking in terms of analogy, and I suspect this leads to a low threshold for anthropomorphisation.
You're quite right about the dictionary definition of learning. I'm slightly hesitant to agree beyond that but because of my own ignorance rather than anything else: I am disinclined to call a "hard disk drive" "machine-knowledge" because it seems to me to be too close to thinking by analogy, when such is not necessary.
I know, it's a slippery slope to arguing with a reporter about learning by analogy like that famous video of Richard Feynman, or correcting one's grandchildren for being lazy using "car" as a contraction of "motor-car" (thanks Gran :P ), or readjusting one's students for saying "plane" when they mean "airplane".
As much as I wish "meta-algorithm" might be a preferred term, I realise it never will be. Forgive me; I think I replied on an optimistic day xD English teachers, indeed any linguists, everywhere will agree that language is a fickle mistress; perhaps only slightly less fickle than thought herself.
I hope it is some small consolation that I think right and wrong are constructs of the animal mind, that I accept p>0.05 as probably being real, and that we're probably both right.
What is the preferred platform/service to compile a public music playlist?
I have been asked IRL by several people recently to give them a primer to Prog Metal/Rock - I told them straight away I am not an authority in this by any means, but would be happy to provide them with breadcrumbs into this genre.
So, what does the #HiveMind suggest to use?
Hey #iOS people, please recommend an email #app to replace Mail. I need to be able to filter my inbox using keyword rules (to block spammers by content rather than the “contact” link), and iOS Mail doesn’t appear to allow that. #HiveMind#iphone
I want to monitor a server on my network. Simple up/down monitoring. Reason being is that I'm having problems with my internet at home, and I wanna see how often it drops out. UpTimeRobot offers 5min intervals for free, but their paid plan is $7/month. That's more than I'd like to pay for something so simple.
@TechConnectify@SnoopJ I don’t want to be the kind of #HashtagFetishist that I will appear as here, but it would be great to have one to attach that indicated “hey, this assclown is being an assclown in one of those standard irritating internet assclown ways, and I don’t have the energy to show that clearly on my own, can someone please assist me in affirming that the assclown is being antisocial so we can get back to the fun parts and not become Twitter? Thanks!”
Because I totally agree, and I think sometimes people don’t assist simply because they’re worried it might be unwanted. Please #hivemind, think of a clever tag for calling out for help at exposing #mastodonts
In January I get to give a division talk about artificial intelligence / machine learning.
I'm looking to gather as many instances of poor learning sets, bigotry, and other biases. It's going to be primarily clinical / clinical research people who are being sold that 'the algorithm' will save medicine because machines are unbiased. Shoot me your examples of why you shouldn't trust a confident algorithmic liar
turns out the screws on a #Forerunner 35 are Torx T4s!! once the set of precision screwdrivers arrived, it was easy-peasy to get the new strap on.
this fairly ancient Forerunner just got a new lease on life thanks to everyone who had tips and suggestions 😄 no more chewed-up, torn, dirty #Garmin strap for me!! I really like the new strap, it isn't as bulky as the original strap, and doesn't have a clasp. looks cute, too.
dites le #HiveMind, ma copine a été "grippée" la semaine dernière, puis moi aussi depuis ce week-end (mais en plus light, je vais déjà mieux). Elle a fait un premier PCR négatif, puis positif 2j plus tard : ce bidule est donc le covid (joie bonheur)
ma question est : est-il nécessaire que j'aille aussi faire un PCR ? Il y a aucun suspense, j'ai clairement le même truc qu'elle a eu. Est-ce que ça a un intérêt quelconque auquel je penserais pas ? merciiii
I, like you, hate cleaning the shower. But it has to get done.
What is your best #lifehack to make the job bearable?
Best products?
Made-at-home concoctions that don't blow up, give off noxious fumes or easily ignite?
I want to hear them all!

#hivemind#climatediary I'm writing a handbook on Earth Crisis Conversations.
One section is quotes as conversation starters. What are some really thought-provoking, chat-generating quotes about climate, biodiversity and change?
I'll start you off:
"Nature is not a place to visit. It is home." Gary Snyder, 1990.
“Dear future generations. Please accept our apologies. We were rolling drunk on petroleum.” Kurt Vonnegut
Mastodon #hiveMind, it's a long shot but I need your help with getting a very random request to the right person. Please boost to help me get some traction on this one.
I'm looking to find a photographic reference for an art project and can't find one.
As a child in the 70s, my bedroom had this awesome Heinz Edelmann Yellow Submarine vinyl wallpaper, in white, lemon yellow, lime green, and maybe bubble gum pink? with black outlines for the drawings. My mom said it was something fun I could enjoy as I grew up. And easy to clean for a kid who tended to draw on walls as a preschooler.
I remember staring at The Beatles, the Blue Meanie and Dreadful Flying Glove (in green), trippy flowers, and other features of the print for hours.
This French wallpaper is the closest I can find, but it's not the same as the American version and simpler colorway I'm looking for.
Anyone happen to have an old sample of this wallpaper or an image of it I could borrow?
