I don’t think my kids have ever used a Windows machine. I have a couple of machines at home that both run Linux Mint and they use Chromebooks at school. There is not much software that they need that is not either a web page or also available natively.

Much of the time, the sites only put a small blurb and a link to the actual article in the feed, so you still have to click through to read it all.

If you fired a gun past an MRI machine, could it conceivably catch the bullets? I am currently assuming that significant deflection is absolutely possible with such a powerful magnet.

Oh, look. An U.T.B.A.P.H.

I remember this thread! Before I saw this comment, I had already gone to look it up again:

I abhor those Temu YouTube ads.

TikTok is correct. Ban them all.

Good point. She commutes a few days per week, but I’m 100/% work from home. Can’t say I miss commuting.

My ADHD would not allow me to function without reminders.

Best side effect of the insulated bottles is not having to use a coaster because they don’t sweat.

Not sure I could get used to using transparent bags for dog poop.

My wife and I share the cars like this. Is it so weird? We usually select the best car for the job at hand.

I’m totally going to try this.

I still use Windows for work, but the last version I used on any of my personal computers was XP.

If AI is better than the existing voice-prompt systems, then I’ll take it, but I doubt it will be.

I remember running Slackware and having to recompile the kernel for just about any hardware you added. I configured a box to be used as a router before routers were something you could get commonly at Best Buy.

I was taking comp. sci. at university and all our work was done on Sparc workstations. Having a Unix-like machine at home was a great help during that time

I see what you did there.

I have this problem for the new Doctor Who series before it split off from the old 2005 Doctor Who series and became its own thing. Jellyfin was tagging the new Doctor Who series the same as the old one.

When IMDB finally got its own entry for the new show I was able to successfully identify the new show appropriately.

I’m not sure if the ADHD got worse or it was just the consequences that got worse. Either way, I’ve had to try to find coping mechanisms. I make a lot of lists and use the reminder app on my phone a lot.

Actually, just having to rewind things at all.
