- Comment on Upcoming Win10 EOL Options to buy old Office PCs 1 day ago:
Op, I have half a pallet. I could ship you one… From the middle of USA. It’s probably not worth the cost in shipping.
Aren’t German government agencies moving away from Windows? The lack of forced waste might be driving prices up.
- Comment on New home server, NixOS vs Proxmox vs Arch 1 week ago:
The two reasons to run proxmox here are one, to create external snapshots and two, to allow multiple operating systems to share your workstation. I keep a virtual Windows install for random windows os stuff on the same server.
If you are not getting the benefits of virtualization, then it makes sense to run bare metal.

I was fed the line that NORTHERNERS treated their slaves well.
- Comment on Charged supercap with reverse polarity 2 weeks ago:
They may be damaged internally and might not perform as expected. If they were going to explode, that was probably going to happen when they were backwards.
It is also quite possible that nothing happened if the circuit could not overcome the bias of the capacitor.

Whoops, I meant rtf.

You are correct, but it always caused issues in the tech world. People would show up with a wps and nobody could open it.

No, they just killed it off for 24h2.
- Comment on Charged supercap with reverse polarity 2 weeks ago:
They could be damaged. Only ways to tell would be to test the capacitance with a multi meter an to try them properly.

I think if a LLM is pointing to a source and quoting it directly, it might actually be a valid tool for the less able.
However
The tool would need to actually go to the page and show that content.
I was thinking that they might actually also be good at describing text and images for those unable to see or read.

Manny areas have a rule where it is okay within 3 years. Look up Romeo and Juliet laws in your area.

A friend of mine recommended it to me and I’m so glad I watched it. The opening to S2 goes so hard, too.

I honestly thought that Mejiro’s dad was going to be the school vampire from earlier in the season.
Seki has been missing for a while, by the way. The way the father acted reminded me of Seki. I’m wondering if Kiku was the father’s progenitor.

- Comment on [Episode] Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 2 • Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou 2nd Season - Episode 10 discussion 5 weeks ago:
I went into this show expecting straight trash. Now I want to meet Mr Field and see the MC get a human body.
Honestly, I think the MC would be happiest if he could assume a humanoid form at will.
- Comment on US | FCC rejects calls for cable-like fees on broadband providers 5 weeks ago:
Whoa, we didn’t have the budget to collect fees.
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 5 weeks ago:
This is a situation where AI needs to be correct nearly 100 percent of the time. Errors mean wasted time from the employees correcting orders and wasted food from incorrect orders. An employee that makes hourly mistakes is a problem. No AI proponents are saying that Gen AI is going to be 100 percent correct because the goal is Gen AI is to provide a probable answer.
I’m not sure if you have read this, but here is an example of a more simple interface where Claude was asked to run a vending machine. At times it acted out an existential crisis or even attempted to call the FBI.

- Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely? 1 month ago:
I am using proxmox to host my docker machine as well. I’m also using it to host a W11 machine for just-in-casies. Third machine so far is a VM for testing.
- Comment on What is a perfect anime? 1 month ago:
Fantastic references.
- Comment on What is a perfect anime? 1 month ago:
I was also initially frustrated with the exam arc. Looking back on it, it contributes significant to the idea that the world moves on and how humans take magic and use it in new ways. I would have preferred to move more quickly through there, but rushing the story would be ironic.

- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 1 month ago:
You can try user agent switcher. Sometimes it is detected or causes issues, but if YouTube thinks you are running Chrome then you may get better service.

I was going to say to get the one my mom used to use. It’s a boar bristle.
- Comment on OpenAI’s new model can't believe that Trump is back in office 1 month ago:
With all these safety measures, it is going to hallucinate and kill a family one if these days with bad advice.
Also, it appears that grok is about to be sued into nonexistence: “This week, xAI and X introduced a new “spicy mode” that’ll let your inner freak fly with NFSW content — including illicit deepfakes of celebs.”
