I have a few devices that have usb-c but only charge off an A-to-C cable. Presumably no charging circuit to negotiate with usb-C chargers.

AND you need to be a hacker!

Yeah, which key is em-dash?

Just use one of those “baby changing” stations.

Can we not argue about the quarrel?

They have an interview with the father of the “Charlie but my finger again!” kids, so they’re adding some good historical context to it all, too.

When you look at the world, you’re actually perceiving the pattern of lights and shadows that pass through your iris onto the inside of your cave-like eyeball.

Strictly speaking, you’re really glad that you didn’t drop one of them.

Sorry, that was just using the share link in voyager. I hadn’t noticed it wasn’t a link to the post.

A few days ago, me to Google home:

“Hey Google, turn on the light”

“Sorry, I can’t control powered devices.”

“Hey Google, turn on the light”

“Turning on the light.”

I had a similar experience getting it to summarize my maps info, it would alternate between correct answers and claiming it had no access to the data.

AI runs in the cloud because it needs a powerful server to run the biggest (i.e. “smartest”) models.

The cloud servers are doing nothing special that another powerful enough computer could do, just a huge amount of data processing.

You can run an ai chat on a steam deck or directly on a phone, if it’s not too demanding (“smarter” models are bigger data files, so won’t fit in the memory of a small device).

Today, for instance, I had a phone call from “Spectrum Internet support” and part-way through the call my phone blared an alarm and said “possible scam” on screen.

The phone itself interpreted the conversation as sus.

Baker’s dozen.

I almost thought to myself “I can’t be bothered to watch a YouTube short”, but then I thought “I can’t be bothered to press Back to get out of it, either”.

I am so glad that I didn’t miss that, it gets better and better.

I watched a jumping spider video on Facebook, now the algorithm thinks I’m obsessed with them.

I do keep watching the videos though, they are cute.

Their behavior gives off a smart animal vibe, so they’re more relatable than the usual spider’s unpredictable scurrying.

It’s still Friday in parts of last week.

I had a captcha a few days ago that was something like “click on all the pictures that go with this” with a picture of a saucepan and the grid was food items and other things.

I pointed my phone at it and asked Gemini and almost instantly it said “the potato in the top left and the carrots look the middle of the bottom row”.
