I don’t speak French, but I did translate “cat, I farted” into French on Google Translate and had it dictate the result. It sounds a good deal like ChatGPT, especially if you’re primed to listen for it.

EDIT: Or at least it used to. Now, if you translate “cat, I farted” it gives you “Cat, j’ai pété” and pronounces the C as a hard C, like it reads. Maybe it’s deciding that “cat” on its own is the name “Cat,” and thus not in need of translation. If you give it different context you get the expected result, as with translating “I had to tell the cat, I farted” you get back “J’ai dû dire au chat, j’ai pété,” which when pronounced the last bit sounds as expected.

Just write a script that runs periodically to check the log’s size and delete when its near the crash threahold.

Exactly. As far as Linux has come in terms of ease of desktop use and hardware compatibility, there is still a barrier in knowing how to know which flavor is right for you and, almost more importantly, why that flavor is right.

The kernel is too old for newer AMD gpu drivers to work, but switching to a newer kernel isn’t too hard. I had to when I built a new computer last winter, but I have also used various *nixes for a good long time.

Knowing how to discover you need a newer kernel is a bit tough for recent convert, though.

Note to anyone heeding this advice: it has to be a metal water pipe, no plastic.

Drives do this on their own.

Your glove caught fire because you put it in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, when leather will readily burn at 210 degrees. I don’t know how other people are pulling it off, as googling around pulls up the same instructions you apparently followed.

I never believed them, because I feared it would catch fire.

Seems like you knew better, which must make this more frustrating. Nothing stings quite like a self-inflicted wound.

As for the Easter stuff, that’s really all about your personal situation and your belief system.

I’ve got a BeeLink N100 system that’s just a bit bigger than a NUC, has two 2.5Gb LAN ports and came with a 512gb nvme drive. Works a treat as a Jellyfin server with TONS of processor and ram headroom. N100 is a great little chip, so long as you’re not expecting i5+ power.

I agree. This should be called a honey sauce at best.

No, I drive a Volt when I drive my Volt that I own. It is not quite the rocket-powered go-kart that tue Bolt is, but it’s still quicker off the line than your average can and a lot of fun to drive. Chevy’s hybrids and EVs are totally decent cars that cost very little to operate.

I drive a Chevy Bolt for work and RAM drivers routinely roll coal on me.

You can use it as a firewall/router or a VPN gateway and even slap a wireless NIC or two on there and make it a combo router/AP, which can simultaneously play and transcode video as a Plex/Jellyfin server with zero hit to networking performance.

And camera lens.

I liked seeing that someone’s computer had .nfo files associated with Notepad. You knew you had found a fellow matey.

Lae’zel?

Wifi is not for critical services, get that thing wired.

I have an S23 Ultra and my wife has a Note 20 Ultra. Both have S-Pens and look nearly identical and had nearly identical MSRPs. The S23 Ultra is effectively an up-to-date Note.

Scissor Sisters in general SLAPS.

I, too, wasted scales on the Drake Sword.

I don’t get short bed trucks at all. If you can’t lay down in it it’s not a bed. You’re better off with a station wagon in 95% of situations.
