    On mobile (similar on Desktop), just go to Setting -> Shields and Privacy -> Content Filters. In there are a bunch of Youtube related blockers (including Shorts), that I find work …

    I was thinking the same thing. I switched from Mikrotik to OWRT because I wanted actual Linux, not a nerfed version of it that made scripting miserable.

    I would expect LLMs to be especially excellent at configuring Mikrotik stuff, given MT publishes markdown reference docs for LLM ingestion, the full config without secrets can be d…

    I won't comment on the others you mentioned, but Musk has probably done more for reducing CO2 emissions than any other human on the planet by popularizing electric vehicles and mak…

    Yep, and that's anywhere from about $1.30 to $3 something in the really expensive states for electric rates in the US. Half that if you only count the delta between that and a low …

    Enough for a drone strike on a single target? It could be fairly crude and still effective, if accurate.

    Many modern ones have a door open sensor that allows for the dishwasher to display that dishes are clean after a cycle until the door is opened and fully closed again. That doesn't…

    Bitlocker can use keys that are local only, but the default for home editions of Windows was to use the online account to back it up. 'Happily' is also a stretch, as they really do…

    An old PC ATX power supply is great for most things that use 5/12V. You get the 2 most common voltages for network gear, with plenty of capacity and efficiency (with a decent PSU.)…

    It's the other way around, unfortunately. The senior engineers will still be useful for architecture and infrastructure considerations, as well as guiding the agents. It's the juni…

    GitHub Copilot was the only one with absolutely insane subsidies, where they metered by 'request' instead of tokens. A request that costs 3 cents could end up burning $20 worth of …

    Comment #47943743

    If their pricing turns out to be what they claim, and copilot cli has accurate token counts, they had the best deal around. Just today, when I wasn't being especially chatty with G…

    I'm more optimistic about LLMs tracking down and fixing issues in software, even without SO/forum posts, at least for OSS. I've seen enough unique insights from agents on tricky pr…

    Have you tried the Import plugin in Obsidian? I used it the other day, and it seemed to do a good job with OneNote, though my ON notebooks are just simple text and images. I believ…

    Nonsense. WinGet has the ability to add repositories, just like any other package manager. If you want the 'approved' packages for the distro, that would be the msstore repository.…

    Disagree entirely. GHCP at least is transparent about the pricing: hit enter on a prompt= one request. CC/Codex use some opaque quota scheme, where you never really know if a reque…

    Windows has great support, surprisingly, for TPM-backed sk keys using Windows Hello and OpenSSH. Protected with physical presence and anti-hammering at the hardware level, and easy…

    You can just replace dropbear with openssh on OpenWRT. That was one of the first things I did, since DropBear also doesn't support hardware backed (sk) keys. Just move it to 2222 a…

    GHCP also has magical rate limits that hit users that slam multi-agent workflows or other crazy request burners. Mind you, I think GHCP is a great service at an excellent price, bu…

    Hey LLM, write me a system prompt that will avoid the common AI 'tells' or other idiosyncrasies that make it obvious that text or code output was generated by an AI/LLM. Use the re…

    The bigger question is: does Anthropic have a big enough moat to matter? I've used/use both, and find them pretty comparable, as far as the actual model backing the tool. That wasn…

    But onset of action is a very important distinction in medicine/pharmacology, as is dose. Most abusers of methamphetamine are not taking it orally (slow route of administration) an…

    While stay at home parenting isn't, and shouldn't have to be, for everyone, it also isn't somehow a downgrade from being in the working world. If anything is doing something 'over …

    This is the point missed by many. The trades are in high demand, right now, because of a labor shortage and demand from upper-middle class individuals without any DIY skills. A gen…
