I've generally had pretty good success with laptops, but they were always Intel + Nvidia with only one HDMI port available.

I have about 10 protein/gym shakers, that I use for shakes (obviously) but also just water. I have so many because they will sometimes come free when i order supplements - but they can be bought for a few dollars. I rotate them daily and just run them through the dish washer. Because they're wide and the lid comes off they are super easy to wash and dry.

I'll normally get a couple years out of them before they need replacing.

You could definitely automate this with voice commands in Home Assistant

If you're into podcasts, he has one too - its called Better Offline.

We've heard promises like that in the past and its almost never come to fruition. So, I doubt that very much.

I tried hard to get into Bazzite, it went really well for a while but I had issues after every update. Most recently something to do with the os-tree got corrupted and refused to boot, ended up having to boot into a live iso to edit some files on the disk.

I will absolutely be trying it again in 6 months because its really good and I'm sure they'll smooth out those update issues.

Didn't even know that's a thing. I definitely wouldn't buy it just for that though

Did they ever end up enabling Linux support?

Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools

Jokes on you, my microwave doesn't use a plate at all

Hilariously, all of those issues could be resolved if those same developers that are complaining donated some of their skills and expertise into contributing to the fixes and features they need.

This reads very much like an "Old man yells at cloud" moment.

Exactly. I'm over simplifying it of course, but that's generally how it works. Its also not "AI" as in Artificial Intelligence, in the traditional sense of the word, its Machine Learning. But of course its effectively had a semantic change over the last couple years because AI sounds cooler.

Edit: just wanted to clarifying I'm talking about LLMs like ChatGPT etc

Because its an auto complete trained on typical responses to things. It doesn't know right from wrong, just the next word based on a statistical likelihood.

I used to turn off my phones alarm by throwing it across the room and it would burst into 3 pieces. Never had an issue.

Can't argue with that

Took me about 4-5 seasons of The Walking Dead before I realised how formulaic it was :(

No we don't, literally never heard of that.

I'm avoiding Seagate drives again now. I thought I'd give them another chance because they were cheaper but also it had been years and thought maybe they'd improved. I got 4x 8tb Pro drives on a ZFS raid in my Proxmox server and I had no end of issues. It went fine for the first few months but then I'd constantly get errors, eventually replaced the whole lot with Western Digital drives and haven't had issues in years.

Bazonga!

Harder to prank someone when it highlights it
