very, very vague 

boy i dodged some huge bullets seeded about 15 years ago that are absolutely and rightfully blowing up right now

we'll be in the uk again in less than two weeks!

if anyone around or willing to ship their retro computers or consoles for servicing to the southwest, we could use the work and our prices are negotiable :boost_ok:

not entirely sure i understand why motioncomputing went through the trouble of using a pressure sensitive wacom screen on the le1700 in 2009 if nothing but windows ink api (its predecessors from the xp tablet edition anyway, didn't get rebranded windows ink until windows 10) can use it and everything that uses pressure sensitivity expects wacom's wintab instead

The year is 2042. You log in to work in the morning. Your various Zoom vtuber clones have attended five simultaneous daily stand-up meetings. You can't really tell if the notes they took mean anything, but probably not - no human has been to any of these meetings in years. Probably safe to disregard them.

You work for a publishing house, so you received fifteen thousand scripts for novels overnight. Your Outlook assistant claims all of them were AI-generated, so you delete them unread. No real way to know.

You order food from a delivery service. Doesn't really matter what or where, the pictures and descriptions are all AI-generated and the food is drop-shipped from a ghost kitchen somewhere. Half of them claim to be McDonalds, but what you get is a sticky pizza bagel.

Outside, the Nasdaq reaches an all-time height.

classic linux thing that happened a couple of weeks ago, is i was looking up what music players had good visualisations, like the milkdrop kind we all remember. one was a standalone app that could respond to any audio on the computer. cool! so i hit up my package manager. but i noticed something. the installation seemed to require the removal of a few packages and replacement with some other ones. it wanted to remove the audio subsystem on my computer?? and change it to a different one?
