Tired: showing off high uptime to prove your system can run uninterrupted for a long time.

Wired: showing off low uptime to prove your system survives a reboot.

LOL, what a pathetic opener. Welcome to my "always send to junk" list.

If I'm king, I'll make it illegal to claim that something is "free" if it's selling your data or showing you ads.

All crew,

We have updated our privacy policy for all Enterprise crew members.

The policy describes how we use internal sensors to generate a transporter signature of your brain and body at the quantum level, and when and how we transmit that info to third-party planets.

How's it going with asking Gemini to analyze a PDF document in my drive to answer a question.

Baseball keeps breaking AI, which still makes me think Fallout script writers knew something we don't yet know.

FYI, the best way to phish my Google credentials is to wait until my tab goes idle and then replace it with Google's "Verify it's you" screen when I tab back to it. It's guaranteed to work every time, because I will be too busy swearing to remember to check the domain in the URL.

attention duelists!

a rather important security update has just been released (v.3.13.2)

i'd advise upgrading asap
no special intervention needed, just a standard upgrade

Tesla is running a deep discount on the "Full Self Drive (FSD)" subscription right now, so I got it for a month just to try it out. I've completely turned it off after a couple of days:

- It tried to drive me through red lights a couple of times, because apparently, it has no concept of "green arrow" and assumes anything greenish-looking means green in all directions.
- I can sense the frustration from other drivers, because the FSD is stupidly indecisive at intersections with all-direction stop signs -- it waits for too long, and then tries to go when the other driver has given up waiting on me.
- When it auto-changes lanes to pass a slower vehicle, it just stays in the left lane and only moves right when something comes up behind at higher speed -- and at that point the other driver is already changing lanes to pass me on the right because I'm clearly stupid.
- And overall, it's like permanently having a grossly incompetent driver's ed graduate drive you around.

Don't bother. It will make everyone angry and then try to kill you.

Heh, this dude emailed the helpdesk address at 4:40PM my time asking for a comment on a sensitive matter, and gave me a 2-hour turnaround to respond.

I've got to admit that ChatGPT 4o does a lot better at complex baseball scenarios than its predecessors. It still gives me invalid answers every now and again, but now they aren't nearly as frequent.

Just as a synth would do.

I'd like to know how someone can manage to find the helpdesk address on the kernel.org site, and yet not figure out that, you know, maybe it's not the site for the restaurant chain launched by the former Chipotle Mexican Grill CEO.

It has been a long time coming, but I've made it official:

"Daniel no longer answers questions on stackoverflow. Use a dedicated public curl forum for accurate and timely answers about anything . "

(yes, speaking about myself in 3rd person)

If instead of a trifecta of achievements you only manage to reach a single one, that's still a solid monofectum.

I'm so sorry if you're waiting on me! I am trying to get things down to something reasonable, but people just keep emailing me back and ruining my perfectly good downward trends. :)

Me: "please follow these steps to make it work"
Person: "but what if I don't and try to do it my own way?"
...(shortly after)...
Person: "help, I've tried everything and it's not working"
