My kitchen range just adjusted its clock and is now two hours wrong.

But sure, AI will work great when they add it to appliances.

I feel like "kill it with fire" is a good impulse to follow on "AI" misbranded garbage, but I may just be getting old?

Since #Minnesota has this new #flag coming in... Can the official flag poles for it come with a little Loon statue/topper at the top, like the US flag pole gets an eagle?

70 hours in, I am starting to wonder if the title of this game is a gag, and the end — at 200 hours or so of play — is going to be one of the characters cresting a hill, looking out over the cityscape from the main menu, and saying, “there it is: Baldur’s Gate”, smash cut to black, roll credits. Look for the sequel DLC, “Baldur’s Gate 3 2: Actually Baldur’s Gate” in 2029, with 7000 more hours of voiced dialogue.

Is it just an audio book with an interactive game tacked on?

    Well, at least there is a timeline, not that they'll feel obligated to keep to it

    $75 low-income subsidy targets areas where ISPs face "economic hardship."

    I really wish that Apple Numbers's view of spreadsheets would catch on in more places — specifically, the idea that when you start a spreadsheet document, you can make a bunch of small tables that each represent homogenous data of a particular type, then link them together via references by, like, clicking on a thing you see, rather than the obtuse way that almost every other spreadsheet makes you repurpose the cell grid for visual layout.

    Well the new university BYO device policy just kicked in so I can’t check my work email on my phone any more unless I give the university the ability to remote wipe it. So yeah, I’m not going to do that. And they won’t even let us use webmail. 🤯

    It is an interesting struggle, I do wonder the actual motivations behind it, I never trust that it's actually for security...

    I'm so confused by the boiler setup in this house (we didn't set it up). My visiting parents aren't getting hot showers in the evening, and I can't for the life of me work out why. To make matters more confusing we have an eddi which diverts solar energy to the immersion heater (but also indirect boiler heated?) tank. I can't work out how the boiler decides when to heat the cylinder (and whether it's the hot water or central heating system that does it).

    I keep wanting to modernize our extremely vintage equipment, and then I think about all the microprocessors connected to make your current puzzle... In my perfect world there would be a beautiful wall with all of these systems thoughtfully laid out, but they're almost always spread out and crammed wherever they can be fit...

    Would you be comfortable joining an instance that required you to provide your mobile phone number to send a code you enter during registration, knowing your # wouldn't be stored and only used to verify you are not a spammer?
