Oh I agree but it would be nice if he’d have listened to me years ago and started using a password manager at least. I know he’ll never go full self hosting, but come on at least use Bitwarden!

Like with Bitcoin, not your keys not your coin. If you don’t hold it you don’t own it.

I should get this for my dad, he recently got a new computer at best buy and the geek squad told him his files were all in the cloud and sent him home. Guess who got a call the next day because “all my passwords are in a word document in some fucking cloud”. Yeah that was a fun day spent setting up his computer while listening to his rant about the geek squad and “the fucking cloud”… thanks geek squad…

Yep, I saw they had The Monday Night Wars and every episode was listed as free to stream. When I finished episode 4 a message came up that I could subscribe to continue watching. I checked online and it was all, from episode 5 on, behind the paywall after saying beforehand that it wasn’t. I deleted the app from my Roku and phone, then deleted my account. Fuck peacock.

Well don’t you want an expert to lead the investigation? - Bobert probably.

We’ve always been at war with Eurasia.

I think they’ve suffered enough.

Thread also works on the 2.4 GHz range but can utilize sub ranges of 868 in Europe and 915 in north America. The 868 and 915 GHz ranges are what LoRa operates on and provides a much greater range for low data rate transmissions.

In fact Meshtastic operates on LoRa on 915 here in the U.S. and I have a node in my second floor window with a 3db antenna and I have been able to message both ways up to 3 blocks away.

Long story short, utilizing 868 and 915 in these devices will make dead spots a thing of the past within a home, even with their lower gain internal antennas.

Yeah my first thought when I read the headline was “why not just use meshtastic?”

That’s a good way to use the tool. I generally use the OpenAI option to set up a custom gpt and tell it to become an expert on the subject I’m writing about, then set the parameters. Then once I’ve tested it on a piece of the subject matter I already understand and confirm it’s working properly, I begin asking it questions. When I’m out of questions or just need a break, I go back and check the citations for each answer just to make sure I’m not getting bad data.

Once I’ve run out of questions and all the data is verified, I have it create an outline with a brief summary of each section. Then I take that outline and use that to guide me as I write. Also it seems like the A.I. always puts at least one section in the wrong place so that’s just another reason I like to write it myself and just use an A.I. summary outline.

Oh I check the citations. I’m fully aware of A.I. hallucinations.

What these companies didn’t take the time to understand is, A.I. is a tool to make employees more efficient, not to replace them. Sadly the vast majority of these companies will also fail to learn this lesson now and will get rid of A.I. systems altogether rather than use them properly.

When I write a document for my employer I use A.I. as a research and planning assistant, not as the writer. I still put in the work writing the document, I just use A.I. to simplify the tedious data gathering and organizing.

Fuckin A.

I really wish people would stop saying Idiocracy is a documentary, it’s not. President Camacho was able to see his shortcomings and hired the smartest man in the world to fix things, that’s not happening in real life.

Idiocracy is something for us to aspire to.

At least they’ve learned a skill?

Refuge here, moved to joined a new server, couldn’t get my subscriptions moved over so I just resubscribed to each one manually, annoying but not the end of the world.

I am looking into the idea of hosting my own instance on something like a $5 linod just to make sure this never happens again. But I don’t even know if it’s worth it, or possible with that. You can tell I’ve only had the idea not the motivation.
