Yeah cause my work computer limits onedrive storage to like 100mb and downloads is one if the only places where I have write access and it doesn’t go to onedrive.

I love that he’s like “I co founded Netscape and Mozilla, now I run a dance club and pizzeria”.

Dude’s living the dream.

Holy crap, I hadn’t considered that we have the technology to create articles on the fly based on search terms.

That could be a serious weapon of war - you get your site to the top through SEO, then show each user personalised propoganda. You show googlebot the genuine page but adjust the page based on what you know about the user.

Haha in NZ you get a message from all sorts, king, prime minister, minister for seniors, local MP, amd for many places, the mayor of where you live.

The list is here on the page about applying under “Who the messages are from”. You do have to apply (normally a family member will apply on their behalf), the king doesn’t magically know where you live 100 years after you were born.

I am not either - anymore 😆. I have been running Nextcloud for years, but this was the push I needed to bring everyone on my OneDrive plan onto Nextcloud instead.

I seem to recall enjoying Riven, but I suspect I never actually finished it and just gave up at some point.

Riven came out nearly 30 years ago so I think I can be forgiven for not remembering too well 👴

OneDrive: we are putting up the price of our family plan significantly.

Also one drive: look at all the new AI stuff we have added to your plan

(Also OneDrive: yes your 6 person plan is for sharing but you can’t share the new stuff we’ve added to your sharing plan)

In NZ you could get a Queen letter too (now it’s from the king). I wonder if it’s available across the Commonwealth.

I had a friend who had a whole scrap book of notes for Myst. I wasn’t dedicated enough 😅

To give credit to the people trying to make good search, the internet is so much worse than it was a decade or two ago.

Over that time the ad driven internet has encouraged low quality, high volume websites full of articles designed around common search terms.

It started before AI, but now you can drum up an article in seconds it has got much worse.

AI is driving more searches

This is hilarious. People are searching more because they aren’t getting results they need from AI, which drives ad revenue so Google’s doing great!

Yeah that’s why I called it out. It seemed like it was an important part.

There probably isn’t an actual reason why you couldn’t connect it to a wall plug in a way that replicates this setup even if a bit hacky. E.g. short cable then attach the unit to the top of the plug. It’s not that heavy and may attach fine without coming out of the wall.

How far away is the Home Assistant Voice Preview from what you’re looking for?

It doesn’t plug directly into the wall but instead uses a USB C cable (that you provide). Other than this, mine can answer questions, search the internet, turn things on and off, play music via Spotify, Jellyfin, etc. Tell me about the state of stuff in Home Assistant (temps in rooms, how the solar is doing, what’s on my shopping list and can add things, etc).

It requires you already have Home Assistant set up but it is a pretty good experience so long as you’re willing to do some amount of tinkering to make it your own.

Like other comments say it’s not general public ready but it’s pretty close and costs $69.

Can we get a meme about calling it main, effectively master but not granting it the title of master? That’s where I thought this one was going.

Why? The hot dogs didn’t become a taco until it was sliced. Before that it was toast.

It clearly does. I point you to number 3, tacos, in the original link. Where it classifies “Slice if pie” as a taco. Clearly being sliced gives it it’s class.

This is also true of hot dogs, where if you didn’t slice the bun it would be class 1.

Well being an adult is taking a giant bite through a bunch of giant kitkats, then putting the rest away for another day.

I deleted all mine but the funny thing is back then they were all posts on people’s walls. You used to go to their wall and write something then they would come to yours to reply like a really bad chat UI.

If you went back to 2009 my posts would all be “That’s so true lol” or “Thursday at 7?” And make no sense out of that original context.

I can’t see anywhere on the box it claims it’s fun for the entire family. It’s a two person game after all.

I have a great technique for this.

First, pick some to do software. Start adding things as you remember them, and ticking them off as you do the. Soon you will find you are adding things to the list much faster than you are ticking them off!

Now here’s the trick: find some new to do software, and start adding your to dos to that one instead! Ignore the previous list.

Repeat! It’s like magic!
