I just pour a little of the hot water into it while I start my coffee brewing, swirl it around and pour it out, then wipe out the mug

I’ve never had any buildup and it gets plenty clean enough, and takes effectively zero time because I’m already waiting for the coffee anyway

They asked what’s wrong

Like, Microsoft’s CEO bragging that 25% of all their code was written by AI, and that was a year plus ago now so it’s probably higher at this point… I don’t find that reassuring, it’s part of the reason I won’t let my Windows workstation upgrade to 23H2 and I’ve almost completely converted to Linux at home (I keep the laptop running my simulator games on Windows because peripherals can be a pain to get working right without the manufacturer’s software, but it’s also locked to 23H2)

And I’ve used AI to assist me with writing code.

But that’s the distinction: it assists me, it doesn’t write it for me. If I don’t understand how or why something works or why I would do it this way, I’m not using it in production. Far too many seem to be checking out, though, and telling their GPT to take the wheel, and that’s where I think one of the biggest issues comes in.

I never used it specifically because of it being run by Brenden Eich. I have no intention of knowingly throwing my towel in and helping to enrich someone who’s thrown his money around to strip people of the right to marry who they want because he finds it icky.

I’m sure there’s other bad shit from him but after that I just treat him and anything he does as pure toxin.

If that sounds harsh, well, I don’t give a fuck.

On the flip side, errors in 3D graphics typically won’t cost a company millions, while errors in an SQL query very well might

Anyone who cannot stop working and live off their own wealth (and not rely on the working income of others) for the rest of their lives is, by definition, working class.

I actually really liked 8.1, preferred it to 7 once I got used to the Start Screen. Surprisingly well designed, actually found myself preferring the menu over 7’s

10 had the best start menu in my opinion, but the quality was just an ever advancing downward spiral.

Now, I can’t even stand it, deal with it at work as much as I have to, but at home, the only Windows machine left is only still on it because simulator peripherals are a pain to get working right on Linux sometimes, so my dedicated simulator machine still uses that, but it’s used for nothing else

Oh, but you could buy a subscription for the “car keeps working” feature

For me, I loved it because my combined gifts were much nicer than the gifts for one or the other

I think my last count hit north of 500 tabs…

I… I may have a bit of a problem…

I don’t even get the point to the flashy BIOS interface, the thing isn’t something you should be spending much of any time in. You get in, make the change you intend to make, burn a sacrifice as an offering to the gods, and hope that it works out right.

Only the nice ones, the naughty poor children get free coal

Because I went with Jellyfin and it worked well… I don’t know if I even checked out Emby, I’m not familiar with it, but I’ve had no reason yet to look for something else

I’d say “don’t give them any ideas” but I’m pretty sure they’ve already thought about it and have it planned for the near future

And the icing on the shit cake is it peacing out after all that

This makes me glad I went with Jellyfin for my home server

And then they would just keep hitting him for his defiance
