Jokes on you, the wall switch is just a prompt injection for 'please turn the lights on', which the LLM subsequently also ignores.

I've been using linux since 1992, and find 'ip' far far easier to use for unexpected situations than memorising the bizarre ifconfig incantations.

Some of the dewrapping constructs can get a bit gnarly looking when there is something wrapped in a wrapper in a wrapper sort of thing. But it's probably largely author-dependant and you could write the same code more readably.

This reminds me of a time I was working for a company that motorola contracted, they sent us a system to install some software on, but forgot to set the root password to something shared with us. When told, they said ' sigh you'l

When you look at near-history serial killers - ie the famous cases of the 50s-80s, you often find the phrase 'unwanted child' who was neglected/abused by a mother that didn't want the child, often born as a consequence o

Not conclusively, I guess, but it's there at any time the conditions are correct (ie, a fan moving air somewhere in the apartment, and otherwise silence). It, however, sounds nothing like an acoustic leakage sounds, I'd describe i

I wonder if there are any pad/cpad servers still around anywhere? Probably not, I don't think much of the X.25 JANET remains at this point.

I can hear a local FM radio station if the room is quiet but a fan is blowing air. At first I thought it was just one fan that did it, but it seems to be almost any fan. Most of the time what I can hear is just at the edge of my hearing, bu

No, the hum is around 80Hz normally. This is much higher frequency.

Once-upon-a-time dropbox had a built in screenshot tool that could upload to your public directory. It was always a pain because I was forever having to determine which of onedrive or dropbox had taken print screen handling away from my pre

That list has several 3 and 4 digit entries, so the assumption 'no currency is defined for transaction below two decimal points' is indeed a fallacy. Did you misunderstand the statement as being a truthy claim rather than a false

I definitely heard it in the 90s, in 1990/1991 my university had a lab full of televideo 910 and 905 terminals that were maybe 5 years old, suffering from massive burn-in and a lot of them whined really bad, giving me a headache if I h

If LLMs cause most 'well ackshually...' replies to be aimed at LLMs instead of humans, I think it's probably a small win for humanity. Let them have their smug satisfaction at outwitting some python code.

If I have to download a new QR scanner app, then this new QR format is useless atm. It might be useful in a year or two when there might have been users driving a reason to download the new app (or existing apps to add support)

It's apparently all "Plated wire memory" which was a Bell Labs invention, so quite possibly Bell themselves. Edit: more likely made by Honeywell, since they seem to have made the other plated wire memory used in the shuttle.

To add some context... Yes, it was documented in our ISO 9000 docs. But only 'strongly recommended' to perform a regular/routine test restore. I attempted to get it converted to a mandatory step, but since I was only a tempor
