Now I’m wondering if NakedNews is still a thing… Haven’t thought of that in many years.

Edit: apparently so. At least the website still exists.

Something I found today - ask it for the lyrics of your favorite song/artist. It will make something up based on the combination of the two and maybe a little of what it was trained on… Even really popular songs (I tried a niche one by Angelspit first then tried “Sweet Caroline” for more well known). The model for those tests was Gemma3. It did get two lines of “Sweet Caroline” correct but not the rest.

The new gpt-oss model replies with (paraphrased) “I can’t do that because it is copyrighted material” which I have a sneaking suspicion is intentional so there’s an excuse for not showing a very wrong answer to people who might start to doubt it’s ““intelligence”” when it’s very clearly wrong.

… Like they give a flying fuck about copyright.

That IS uplifting.

I did notice that the Mexican coke that I occasionally buy as a treat (in the US) got new labels printed on the bottle instead of just a sticker.

For some reason it doesn’t taste as good as it used to though. Feels like even more sugar than previously maybe? I should look it up.

I was half way hoping you’d say Estwing… I love their hammers. I have two of their cross peens that I used for (backyard, redneck) blacksmithing for years that still get use any time I need some girth/weight and one of their “masonry” hammers that I use for stone work (again, backyard/redneck shit).

Their 3/4 axe (I think they call it a camp axe) is also solid.

What’s your favorite hammer?

Thank you, I have a new goal in life.

Garmin is where I landed too.

I couldn’t do the instinct 2 solar because of the 50mm size (I have dainty little wrists) but the instinct 3 solar is available in 45mm.

I’m over a month in and at 70% battery with minimal direct solar, but it does give it a 1-3% bump when I’m working outside.

At this point, I have to see how long it can go without charging.

(Again, I don’t use any of the “smart” stuff, just the heart rate monitor for sleep tracking - is that a new thing to require HRM for sleep tracking? Long ago, they did it with the accelerometer)

A web interface? Is the keyboard running a webserver or is it remotely managed by the manufacturers website?

I’m confused about configuring keyboards via web app.

I remember looking for a new watch awhile back and seeing a review that said “The battery life is outstanding! I get almost two whole days without a charge!” and thinking “naw dude”.

But, I also don’t like “smart” watches… or “smart” anything. I want a damn watch that can occasionally do GPS tracking when I want it to and the battery should last, at minimum, one month.

I already carried a flashlight in my pocket and now I have one on my watch. Phones are obsolete.

Just (re) started Dead Space after not playing it for 10-15 years. Still good, still enjoy, why buy when I can just replay games I’ve forgotten the story to?

Same for Control a few months ago… And I’m sure others.

Came here to post this… even though I haven’t seen it yet (it’s on the list!)

Hey! You can’t say that on the internet! You have to say fuck

This may explain why I’m wearing a hoodie in the office in late June while most everybody else is comfortable or still hot.

But, I also do lots of outdoors stuff and acclimate to heat up to a point.

The center point of the pie chart, where the lines meet, is slightly off. It’s making my eye twitch.

This was me on Sunday… And then also on Monday after replacing the cap and then realizing that the fan motor was janky (which might be what caused the cap to fail)

Reminds me of a similar phrase from reloaders: “if it seats it yeets”

If by AC you mean air conditioner, I just replaced mine with a 50+5uF dual cap @ 370/440 VAC
