I am casually 'researching' this in my own, disorderly way. But I've achieved repeatable results, mostly with gpt for which I analyze its tendency to employ deflective, evasive and deceptive tactics under scrutiny. Very very

I keep one of those Amish hand-crank drills in my vehicle toolbox. I have one in the closet too. I have a thing for old tools, but not much can substitute a drill when one is needed. And the ones I refer to are surprisingly effective, and b

If all will pardon the name drop, I'm listing my all-time most revered astronomy resource. It's not quite what is was 20 years ago, and I no longer look up much, but I've managed to get a smile from it with each visit. It&#x2

Xfinity's is sensitive enough to configure for animals or humans under 40-70lbs, I forget the exact number. From my minimal research, it could be pushed a lot further. What I'm particularly interested in is the edge case scenario

I've a bone to pick with the title, which euphemises degradation. If they evolved, one might assume they'd survive more than a few years. My last two vehicles have been Toyota and Hyundai, both of them having multiple broken and m

I'll second here. While not profound, I found myself nodding, involuntarily, in agreement.

Every time I see these articles about iphones posing trouble for authorities, I always think of it as free (and fraudulent) advertisement. I could be naive, but just don't think they'd really have any difficulty getting what they

Dependencies may be becoming less properties of software, and more so properties of the distro's systemd wiring. More and more software will assimilate systemd features. Free distros will patch, shim, emulate, flounder. Or in GPT parl

You're almost certainly on to something and I'll be doing something similar. That must be the crux. Thank you!

Not stopping. Just clashing with that and a hundred other things that I never wanted managed by one guy. Systemd.timer, systemd.service, yes, trivial, but I don't catalog every thing that bothers me about systemd - I just stay away fro

After over a decade of Debian, when I upgraded my PC, I tried every big systemd-based distro, including opensuse, which I wholly loathed. I finally decided on Void and feel at home as I did 20+ years ago when I began. There are serious prob

It's a newer Lenovo vpro, not because I wanted that, but because it's what I got. It came with 16g of reputable ram, then I added 8g ~1 year ago for $20, the exact same module which is now $120. Orher than a bad ram chip, what els

Can your "one issue" be tweaked by adding more RAM and allocating it thusly? I'm using Void with 24gb ddr5 and frequently get system freezes during high productivity. Browser tabs in the background are often contributors, but

From my experience with Gemini, Grok, Claude, GPT, GPT by far is the most sophisticated liar. I have a hundred documents of GPT performing amazing deception tactics which has become repeatable. All models tend to lie and apply an array of d

It doesn't matter what I search for on ddg; Sumerian statues, Hubble Deep Field, parasites in South America - I always get highly irrelevant local results for stupid shit, eg hotels, restaurants and things too bizarre to remember. I&#x

Just in case you wondered, and even if you didn't, I admire ignorance of smartphones and consider such as virtue. I obtained my first in 2018 after years of resistance. But driving a semi and not being the best with maps and logistics,

I have updates blocked, which is why the simultaneous update seemed odd. In my wild imagination, I vaguely surmised something involving compromise. I'm not sure what you're implying though, probably something spiteful.

My service was out for approximately 7 hours. But I pose a question that I've been wondering since: I have a Moto. Updates are explicitly disabled. A lot of stuff has been deactivated via ADB. While Moto does try to force sneak updates

As a teen I was fooled for a short time, confused about fats, types, etc. But I was a feral child and as ignorant as any animal. It didn't take long to figure things out after I learned to read. I expect more of government though, and

In my experience as a consumer, for study and amateur production, the preservation and fortification of critical-thinking is inevitable and prerequisite. Without such, it would be a dark age, with incoherent whispers from the future. With c

Around house. When in use, I piwer it with an old nook charger which I think is gentler on the battery. I can always find a purpose for an old phone. But nothing on the Internet, unless it still gets updates.

It should also be noted that no simple option exists within the Perplexity UI to export an entire session. Select-All/Copy/Paste captures only single or small groups. To test this: generate a session with a dozen or so pages (or o
