The only thing it’s useful at is shit that isn’t necessary.

We had a P&Z member at the city I work at get butthurt because we corrected him at a meeting, so the city manager asked me to write an apology letter to him.

That was the one time I loved ChatGPT. It was bullshit that didn’t need to happen that I didn’t care about and achieved nothing, so I let the fucking bot write it.

Well, it’s a Seagate, so it still comes out to about a hundred bucks a month.

My recent experience with my phone is I tell it to set a 5 minute timer and it sets one in the fucking Google search browser, and if I page away I lose the timer.

I had a Fold 3, and while I loved the form factor, the battery was shit.

The screen got broken, and I decided to upgrade to a Fold 6 so far I’m very impressed. I took it off the charger in my car at 100% on Wednesday night around 10pm, and put it back on the charger at 11:30pm Friday with 15% left.

48 hours with moderate usage (including some gaming and YouTube) is pretty good.

But non-tech people aren’t buying Faiphones, but whatever they’re pushing at the Verizon store.

That’s just because Microsoft waited until Android and iOS were well-established before trying to make a smartphone OS. It could have been the best OS ever made, and it still would have been a failure because there wasn’t a market for a third OS. It was hard enough at the time to get apps developed for both iOS and Android - there wasn’t room for a third player.

Everyone talking about how it’s because of Windows 11 or their greed driving people away, etc. But they’re ignoring the big one:

People don’t need as many computers these days. You don’t have a lot of households with a laptop for every member of the family because smartphones and tablets have replaced the PC for many people for media consumption and basic tasks.

Sometimes re-wiring a house or building isn’t as practical as setting up a mesh network that’s good-enough.

It’s a bad band for cellular. It’s short-range and shit at penetration.

It’s really not even that good for wifi unless you’re close or have a mesh network with APs all over the building.

Are the instructions in a basement lavatory marked “beware of the leopard”?

Also, don’t use their website.

There’s a reason ICE conceal their faces.

They know what they’re doing is wrong and don’t want to be held accountable if their fascist rule collapses.

You already clicked. It doesn’t matter anymore.

I don’t think there’s proof yet, but Isreal has shown zero qualms about killing innocent civilians.

There are services online. I don’t use any of them, so I’m not comfortable making recommendations.

That being said, printers are getting cheap and really easy to use, so it may be worth looking into buying one for 200 bucks. Even without knowing how to model, there’s a ton of free designs out there.

Want me to 3d print one for you?

I found a few pre-made designs:

I think they need an application that simultaneously posts to YouTube and PeerTube. So creators can effortlessly post to both the existing platform with all the viewers while also adding content to the alternative.

Similar how OBS can stream to YouTube and Twitch simultaneously.
