I needed something mundanely weird to make my afternoon, thanks to whoever at Lenovo decided to get a LLM to make this. I took a few minutes checking out the wider glossary page and came across this on the keyboard layout page[1]: >What

I'm not a developer, but what can be done in the future to prevent this from happening on a wider scale? Have search engines index verified photographs from key news + historical sources? Do they mark down results including "AI ge

As someone who went through the same experience it'd take a lot for me to even think about touching GIMP again. I'm sure that it's a viable Photoshop alternative but any functionality is obscured under a web of riddles. Blend

Earlier this week I picked up a copy of On Writing Well by William Zinsser, a style guide on what he believes makes for good informal writing. It's yet to reflect in any of my comments but I'd recommend it if you struggle with bei

IIRC redeeming a Half-Life or Counter-Strike CD key on Steam grants you the Half-Life 1 Anthology pack[1], so it's worth giving it a shot! [1] https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/237/HalfLife_1_Antholo...

As someone who first played a CD copy of Half-Life before picking up the Steam version, it's amazing to see that they brought back features which were neglected from the Steam release – most notably the viewroll when moving left &

It was disastrously successful to the point where 'hoover' has been synonymous with 'vaccuum cleaner' ever since over here!

Being subject to such UV lights without my knowledge and waking up in the dead of night to my eyes burning is a new fear I'd never expect to develop. A nice reminder of how important combating negligence is.

The Gameboy is impressive but I can't stop chuckling at the site's URL pattern, that's what really ties it together for me.

On one hand I've found the entire saga of the Somerset Gimp to be oddly fascinating since he first popped up pre-pandemic[1] and I've been following the updates on him since, it's just the sort of news you don't hear bu

I'm pretty much in the same boat, all my smartphones have been Android phones and I was always excited to see what changed from version to version because Google had a good track record. I didn't agree with every change but for me

When talking surveys, it's always imperative to bring up this scene from Yes, Prime Minister which describes how these surveys work - https://youtu.be/ahgjEjJkZks?t=26 For reference, National Service was a national con

It was never perfect, but it was a great niche for storing memories of certain places in a way that pictures or a normal panorama couldn't do. That faux-3D scroll really helped capture -something- of the moment which brings everything

This story has been cemented in my mind since I was a teenager, and no matter how many times I read it, when someone posts it I always go out of my way to read it one more time.

To me what stood out was how clean the audio was for a recording you'd expect to be covert. Yeah you've got the background noise slapped in, but the AI voice is nearly crystal with no change of volume, and there's no /ph

Really it's a bit daft. The secondary SSD I ordered didn't arrive for a while, and I got inpatient. I moved as much as I could onto some spare USB sticks and used them to pass the files along to the new build. I prioritised my pho

My extra advice, make a note of who made what you downloaded and where you downloaded it from to help yourself and others in the future. I recently built a new PC and, while I didn't migrate everything I saved, I made sure to keep my o

Mechanical keypad locks dont require you to input the code in a certain order. If the code is 0451 you can unlock it with 1054 or any other combination of those numbers. It's not exciting exciting, but it's oddly novel to show o

A few years back I read through The Art of Discarding by Nagisa Tatsumi and I'd highly recommend it. It's a short and light read that breaks down our habits of keeping things and has a handful of strategies to get rid of what we d

There's this unfortunate mean streak that plagues this country when it comes to people's ability to work and how much they earn, even if it's due to health. YouGov recently did a survey asking about what people should be able
