No.

Your brain has to process stuff. And it is at it’s best when you are sleeping. Having your kids sleep in is beneficial for developing their brains.

Society might think you are lazy, but instead your brain is processing new thoughts and information.

Getting exhausted is not ok for a normal sleep pattern. Don’t overdo it.

Hell yeah! Of course, best Christmas movie ever. Multicasting it over the corporate network since last Monday and won’t kill the process before 2025!

now i’ve got a machine gun ho ho ho!

Not medically trained or experiencing any illnesses, but keep this in mind:

In just a few years, the medical world made huge steps in treating a lot of things using RNA techniques.

Don’t compare a situation 10 or 20 years ago with the possibilities today.

Inclusive tax, but exclusive service fee, handling fee, network fee, administrative fee, etc. You get the picture.

We are getting screwed by the energy companies and the infrastructure companies. Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

At least (some of us) are getting money back, when your solar production exceeds your consumption. But that is going to change soon.

Dynamic pricing contract. Planning when to charge the car, running dishwasher etc is small effort.

Adding 5KW solar panels and a change of contract, from >€500 to something like €75. Family of 4, pretty heavy usage.

Vic-20, Atari 600 XL, zx-81.

In that order

Asked several to write a c implementation of some basic networking stuff.

ChatGPT: needed to refine my input, got reasonable output. Complete answers, just compile and run.

Google: the output was just a few snippets, nothing to be used as-is.

MSFT: terrible output, and -no suprise here- the compiled code crashed with null pointer references etc. The worst answers ever.

For simple problems (programming low-level microcontrollers), my go to will be ChatGPT everytime.

Google should get it’s act together, Microsoft can exit the stage.

Yes this.

Check out the don’t vacuum me site and pick a ‘hackable’ robot. Add Valetudo and you’re set.

Using a Roborock S6 here, started by home assistant when no one is home.

For the occasional jobs/accidents, we use a Hyundai cordless. Really robust, easy to clean and properly designed.

This is just the beginning…

Cars.

• mechanical, no software bugs
• physical buttons, no touch screen
• everything just worked, no need to license the heating of your chair
• freaking lane assist

You get it…

Weighted blanket.

Please tell us more…

Well, early '90s and pretty much without any documentation apart from the source it was quite a struggle.

I totally agree, but this depends. It helps if you have backups already in place, if a few additional containers or VM’s won’t matter much etc.

Running forgejo and runners took me way less effort than properly setting up sendmail for instance.

It all depends on skills, resources etc. Everyone needs to make these decisions themselves.

Be the cool kid on the block and start hosting your own forgejo instance.

Did Azure DevOps (yuck), did GitHub (meh) now very happy with forgejo.

Ali got a nice escrow payment system, when you and the selling party disagree about delivery or quality, you get your money back most of the time.

Did have some issues with deliveries in the past, but always got them resolved or refunded.

No experience with the other platforms, but have done hundreds of purchases using AliExpress, from a few euros to hundred+

This exactly. Just ask for some location rights in the app and get access to wifi also.

Most users don’t mind giving an app a large amount of access and in doing so, a lot of personal information gets exposed.

If you have a choice, use a website.

That’s too bad. And that will be a challenge for me, when I upgrade my current phone.

Really love the flym reader. Just works, no ads.
