Winget is still playing catch-up in my experience. Microsoft’s own office365 winget package is broken constantly.

The fact that industrial and commercial use pays lower rates than people trying to live their lives and heat their home is such bullshit.

Seeing how much they’ve advanced over recent years I can’t imagine whatever that guy was working on would actually impress anyone today.

I just set up a rule on my firewall to disallow outgoing web traffic from my TV so I can still control it over the wifi. Then if I want to sell it I haven’t broken any functionality.

You can do anything…

This used to work for me but unfortunately at least two places I haven’t been able to figure out any button combination that mutes them which has been infuriating.

The gas pumps that blast ads at you are driving me insane. All of the places in between my house and my work have them now.

At least on Android, spoofing GPS location is trivial (not that workarounds like this should be necessary).

Maybe that’s where people are who need the information the most?

Businesses are happy to have their employees be more productive without having to pay for expensive new licenses… But eventually they’re going to find out that letting all your employees share swaths of private data with random websites is not a great idea.

Ah yes… Pre-crime… Just like all those utopian sci-fi novels.

People just going about their business living their lives as they have for many years…

Silicon Valley: Hey fuck you. Also I came up with a dumb nickname for you.

I want the Ubiquiti Doorbell Pro (wired Ethernet) but it’s always sold out. Plus I’ve been hesitant to spend ion a Cloud Gateway or Dream Machine. I just wish I could use my own storage.

I need to just bite the bullet though.

Won’t longer key lengths increase the overhead for everything?

Bazzite is great.

Everyone on the fediverse is Nicole and you can’t prove otherwise.

What I haven’t figured out is this…

If we’re all going to LLMs instead of asking each other for help (or providing help to others), then how do the models learn new things? Aren’t we no longer generating the same volume of consumable data?

I suppose we can provide feedback to the models to tell them if their solution worked, but I can’t tell if that sort of feedback is more useful than just crawling forums.

Obama taking no action to dismantle the surveillance state was my biggest problem with his administration. It was so obvious how that surveillance would be abused were it ever to get in the hands of a President with authoritarian tendencies.

And here we are.

Now they’ve fully eroded the 4th amendment and will use that knowledge to eradicate the 1st.

Wake on LAN. At least that’s what I do. I can turn on the TV and adjust the volume from Home Assistant but the TV itself can’t reach the Internet.
