    I got Bard to execute a fork bomb, I think, when it was first launched. I noticed that it was evaluating the flow of a shell script incorrectly and it allowed execution, then refus…

    I added a ratgdo to my garage door opener and use that with Home Assistant (and wireguard to my phone) instead of MyQ, so that wouldn't be a problem. It's probably worth doing, but…

    I have a Pixel 7 Pro and I've been considering reflashing with GrapheneOS. I bought a Garmin watch which does tap-to-pay to deal with the loss of that feature. How is the camera on…

    Even if it was 595 billion, that sounds like their problem. "If you owe your bank manager a thousand pounds, you are at his mercy. If you owe him a million pounds, he is at yours."…

    I had a OnePlus 3. It was fantastic for the time, but the limited radio bands really hampers it now. The screen is falling off of it and the battery is not what it was, but it's a …

    From what I have read, they only have ~30 employees. They're not exactly onboarding a lot of new people here.

    This makes me sad. We've lost something.

    Expedition 33 ran well, at least on Xbox Series X. It runs like dogshit on a Steam Deck, though.

    There's a few traffic circles / roundabouts near me now. I love them -- they are safer and greatly reduce traffic if I'm headed out that way. The number of people who blame them fo…

    There's kids who go around on ebikes in my neighborhood, and it's only a matter of time until one of them is hit. I don't mind kids on bikes, and encourage it. I do, however, encou…

    This is 6x6x6" and can sit on my desk, quietly.

    I have two, both adults now. The first one, if she woke up early and I was still asleep, would politely come over and say that she was hungry. The second one, though, she was a sca…

    With the first kid you sterilize everything. After that I guess you learn how much dirt they put in their mouths and don't bother.

    Yeah, I felt that someone had to speak up about the health of the lawn.

    I have a feeling that humanoid robots will have other, more intimate, tasks first. Our most primal drives seem to drive the advancement of technology. Also, mowing the lawn on a ve…

    Do you feel the same way about cloning a GitHub repo and building it? It, too, achieved a result. The track saw and router, imo, are existing libraries.

    Oh, sure, I can make things with it. But I have an extraordinarily hard time saying that I made something. It feels like it cheapens the whole thing. Maybe I'm just old, because I …

    It's making things less fun, for me at least.

    Man, do I feel this, but my situation is a little different in that we are similar ages but my kids are (nearly) all adults. I've put enough in 529s that both of them will be able …

    I regret not building the PC when I was looking at it. It's not a money thing, at the end of the day, but I can't bring myself to do it. I had it all priced out, but a bunch of bir…

    It penetrates walls so much better than 5GHz. If I lived closer to my neighbors I would agree with you. Plus I still have some esp8266-based widgets that I made which only operate …

    I've been running Unifi since ~2014 and it's been rock solid. I forget that they are there most of the time. The only headache has been setting up a Canon printer -- it doesn't kno…

    I find it funny that the one device in my household which will not roam between APs is the Nintendo Switch .

    I help my neighbors out a few days a week, and walk their kids down to the bus stop and make sure that they get off to school okay. There's a bunch of kids at the bus stop, and I k…
