It was shot with a Canon EOS M200 and is 100% real.

Once a user came into our office on the verge of tears. Her notebook wouldn’t boot and she thought that meant her thesis was lost.

Didn’t make a backup either.

But luckily it was the mainboard that quit and not the SSD. So we were able to decrypt it and get her up and running again. After we told her to make a backup next time, she was so happy that she wanted to give us money. We refused.

Come next day, she stormed in, without saying a word. Just threw a pile of candy and a handful of soft drinks on our table and ran off before we could do anything about it.

Fuck you, boss. That’s our candy now.

Man. Those poor souls. Sent by some wanker who neither knows nor cares about them, just to die for some bullshit game. Their one chance to experience anything wiped out for eternity.

You can Block WebRTC via uBlock.

From my understanding, this, along with setting Meta on fire, may mitigate the issue.

At work we have bad documentation dept. Almost nothing is fully documented and most of the documentation is either outdated or has never been up to date (or accurate) in the first place. Old documentation is deleted without checking if it is still relevant… ect.

But somehow someone actually wanted Copilot to magically fix everything.

Luckily enough people seem to get that this won’t work, so our manager resorted to ask us in a team meeting if anyone had ideas for problems that “AI” could fix. It’s insane.

People keep telling me that the drainage holes on planters are not there to drain me, but the soil. But that’s totally nonsensical. I mean, if the soil needs to be drained, why water it in the first place?

Anyway, how does one get their dick unstuck from a particularly sexy terracotta planter?

If you have any key depressed, for any reason, including but not limited to having taped a key (eg. ctrl) down, Teams will register you as “available”, rather than “away”.

Why are you not gay?!!!

It’s amazing that the faster Ethernet gets and the more powerful network devices become, the fewer things we can do.

Why wouldn’t just about everyone get the ability to print on the device whose sole purpose is to print things? If everything is set up right, you can even set per-user policies so Jarrett doesn’t waste ink printing 50 AI pictures of kittens to hang in his soulless office cubicle.

It must be some sort of hobby. Especially with the Elitebook series.

The G1 had a bad charging curve and tended to produce spicy pillows. HP fixed it with a firmware update, and since the G2 had mostly the same design, they were fine.

Then the G3 came out, again with an incorrect charging curve. HP fixed the problem. The G4 were fine.

G5? Bad charging curve… wanna guess if the G6 was affected?

I add oil, just enough to barely coat the pan, and then tap a teeny drop of tap water from my finger onto the pan. Once the drop pops (if it got touched by the oil) or simply boils away, I can start cooking.

Additionally: butter. Butter somehow doesn’t stick for whatever reason, even if the pan isn’t fully heated up yet.

It puts the update on its skin.

Damn, woke plants. lol

I think so. Although I’ve seen videos, where people will fertilize with pollen that’s up to a few days old.

My current method is just having multiple flowers and since they usually open one after the other, I’ll just sacrifice the first one and keep a daily fertilization streak going.

…btw. don’t use cotton swabs. I used cotton swaps and a small brush is definitly the better tool.

Just like with solid fertilizer.

I sprinkled a bit on top and worked it in, like a few centimetres.

I understand LLMs well enough that I really don’t want to use them because they are inherently incapable of judging the validity of information they are passing along.

Sometimes it’s wrong. Sometimes it’s right. But they don’t tell you when they’re wrong, and to find out if they were wrong, you now have to do the research you were trying to avoid in the first place.

I tried programming with it once, because a friend insisted it was good. But it wasn’t, and it was extremly confidend, while being exceptionally wrong.

Man. Every time I read an unsolicited comment like this, I get moved a bit more to the “optics matter” camp.

If someone is interested, they will ask. And if they ask, you get to camly explain your thoughts and feelings.

That’s how I managed to get everyone to think of the “haha, my food eats your food” guy in my social circle as the weird “berates people for their personal choices” guy, rather than me. He brought it up in the most childish, naive way, and I got to be the adult in the room.

And that stuck. A bunch of my friends lost their fear of meat alternatives, because of me wordlessly picking the meat alternative from the fridge in the grocery store, while picking things out for the BBQ. People do notice these things. And some will copy you, if you seem cool enough to copy.

Sure, it may sound bad when children become homeless. But have you ever thought about how much money it saves? Just think of all the good things we can afford with all that money!

Like anti-homeless park benches. Or those little speakers that emit ultra-high-pitched sounds so that young people don’t … enjoy … existing somewhere or something, idk.

And just because I’m unable to actually satirize reality at the moment, yes, /s

I’ve only used an LLM (you can guess which one) once to write code. Mostly because I didn’t feel like writing down some numbers and making a little drawing for myself to solve the problem.

And because a friend insisted that it writes code just fine.

But it didn’t. It confidently didn’t. Instead, it made up something weird and kept telling me that it had now “fixed” the problem, when in reality it was trying random fixes that were related to the error message but had nothing to do with the actual core problem. It just guessed and prayed.

In the end, I solved the problem in 10 minutes with a small scribble and a pen. And most of the time was spend drawing small boxes, because my solution relied on a coordinate system, I needed to visualize.

Isn’t it mostly 9*10+2? 9 * ty (implying 10) + 2.

Even german does that, although weirdly the way you can’t just write down long numbers reasily one by one: Zwei (2) und ((and) neun- (9) -zig (*10)).
