For context, there is a BUNCH of potential issues with OpenClaw. This recently happened and then ARS used fake ai quotes of the author when publishing an article about it.

Statistically speaking, if that happened, the company’s carbon footpring would go down…

Make sure you get a good one with multiple fold out compartments too, maximum leather. Bonus if it’s ostrich skin or crock skin to really bulk up the wallet.

I’ll allow that with a big asterisk, if you consider Mexican Coke as coke then yes, its one of the best sodas. If not, there are way better options.

It really depends though, if you want to do analog in or out, relay control, or use existing hats, you are bought/forced into the ecosystem. If you are just using it as a small computer, yeah roll with whatever. To me, it’s always occupied the void between an arduino and a sffpc or when I wanted to do compute and analog/digital control on something.

Thanks! It was a new build so I did the finish work on it after doing a “dry” build first to make sure the fit was okay with the parts. Then I dyed it, sprayed poly, and assembled it again.

I did a greenburst. I think that I used 3 different greens to get there but its been a few years now. I wish I could have gotten the poly flatter on it but its good enough for a first try.

The tutorial I followed was from BigDGuitars on youtube.

Fyi, if you ever want to tint wood like that again, leather dye works REALLY well. I used the Angelus stuff on my guitar, and it is really nice to work with.

The really unsettling one for me was Beyond the Aquila Rift

I saw it on Love, Death, and Robots and it really creeped me out.

Are the superchargers lasting longer on the new doo’s? I’ve been out of the loop for a while but I never really cared for the rotax supercharger setup. Kawi made the ultra fugly on the last update though.

Good Eats radicalized me too. Not for plex but for cooking.

Zoo membership is clutch with toddlers. 100% worth it. Same with the Children’s museum.

Everyone is either saying I’m staying on plex or Move to jellyfin and I here just enjoying Emby. Its functional, easy to setup, and is a good middle ground for sharing without having to train people how to use it.

Yes, I paid for the license, and I know it isn’t foss so the potential for enshitification exists, but for now its fine.

My kids can use it, so can my inlaws, and its been reliable.

There is also a dongle for the SNES that works the same but requires usb power. It works well.

I’m using a 5v and its been a great phone so far. I will say, if you are in the US it is missing one of the important 5G bands and when it updates you have to go fiddle with the dual sim mode settings to get full internet speed again which is irritating.

It was the only phone I could find at the time that was smaller sized, waterproof, had a headphone jack and sd card slot, and a good camera though.

The top person is standing in front of a Lamborghini. Money apparently can’t buy education either.

I can’t see a scenario where a bailout doesn’t happen but I also don’t see it being beneficial if a bailout does occur.

While the automakers bailout boosted an industry that was on major trouble, they were able to return to profitability in the end and pay back those loans right? The whole A.I. industry has never turned a profit, so even if we bail them out, the fundamental model as it is now would just revert to a known unprofitable state.

You could argue that you should bail out the hardware companies so you don’t cripple the chip manufacturers, and foundries, but there is no financial benefit that I can see to bail out a llm developer. If you were going that route. I would say they have to nationalize the software companies but I don’t want that being part of the government at fucking all.

Rollermine

Oh look, another example of a product that worked fine without internet connectivity and was improved by adding extra bullshit you don’t actually need that then gets worse when those features can’t function properly because their server is offline.

We got a basic roomba 650 (the one that crashes into stuff and randomly cleans) like 10 years ago and it still works fine (well, as well as it ever worked which wasn’t great), you program the time and day of the week with physical buttons, and leave it alone.
