I used to had linux mint in an old computer and for some reason the wifi didn’t work.

To me this implies it isn’t their primary computer. It’s not “manipulating and humiliating” someone else. It’s just saying, “you’ve been saying you’d fix this but it hasn’t worked, I need to use this computer for something.”

And no need to feel sorry for my wife. We’ve been together over half our lives, married for over a decade, and extremely happy with each other. My wife has done things like this to me. It’s not toxic or manipulative. Sometimes I overestimate my own skills and/or get distracted with other things.

Why? Imagine your house’s door doesn’t work so you have to make a long trip through the back. You keep asking your partner to fix it. They insist they’ll get the door working. Either they can’t or don’t, doesn’t matter, but you have the money and are willing to pay for someone to fix it. Your partner insists they can fix it. I think it’s reasonable to say something like “if it’s not fixed in two weeks I’m paying someone to fix it.”

It does do some static stuff but I don’t know if you’d be able to feel that from another room.

CRT TVs have a very iconic high pitched noise. It’s somewhat similar to the sound of tinnitus. Combine that with some people not being able to hear those high pitched noises very well (especially as they age) it makes sense that you may have been able to hear them but not really consciously be aware of it.

It’s so infuriating to me that there isn’t a way to just encrypt traffic without verifying it’s part of a chain. By all means, give a nag warning in browsers, but ugh, I think that ship has long since sailed. Plus, realistically, you’d need just as many scary warnings to deter the average user that they might be getting MITMed.

Can you not issue your own certificate? I guess it depends on how many devices and what types of devices need to connect. It’s be a one time effort per device (importing your own self signed cert) versus one time effort per service per X days.

It’s like, I get the idea of saying “this user is searching for a program they don’t have, let’s link to it” but then they’re like “oh what if we searched for everything?” and then someone else is was like “And what if we put ads in to monetize it!” Then that last person probably got a bonus.

Last time I checked it out there was a lot of racist spam. It seems better now. Maybe it was one bad actor or the spam filter is better.

“I didn’t steal and distribute your work, I just made a machine distill it down and able to copy everything meaningful about it!”

And it will be legal to fork it and remove that, yay GPL!

“Hello, this brand of tools that was specifically made for people to learn about? Yes, you’re no longer allowed to attempt to understand how they work.”

What’s it pointing at? That is a directional antenna. So it’s trying to talk to something in that direction (either sending or receiving or both).

Edit: Note that the answer to what it’s pointing at night be vague like “a city”. Imagine a walkie talkie with a directional antenna. It doesn’t need to be pointed directly at who you’re talking to, just the general area would be fine.

Because they’re all over the sidewalk lol. I have a tree in my yard.

Why’d you have to ditch gaming? I play games all the time on Linux. Steam works just fine.

DDG for everyday use, Yandex for media.

It is, but I know myself and realistically unless I’m forced to learn it in an environment where it’s first class I’m not going to use it on a regular basis.

I feel like if I was forced to use PowerShell I’d fall in love with it and want to use it on Linux. Passing objects between commands instead of text sounds amazing. So many (Linux) shell commands use slightly differently shaped text, it’s annoying. New line separated? Tab separated? Null separated? Comma separated? Multiple fields? JSON? And converting between them all and using different flags to accept different ones is just such a headache.

Can you nmap to find it as a workaround? Just thinking out loud, never fiddled with it directly.

No, you phrased it right, I haven’t run any LLMs locally at all.

How do you run it locally? I haven’t ever tried it. I’m curious to.
