What don't you steal by learning it? AI is a tool, it learns things and puts it back out in ways that we ask. The fake book problem has been a problem for years except it was usually stuffed with wikipedia articles rather than AI mash.

I was just checking out pictures of a light-up drone display, and I know this is me just being old, but gently caress drones. What a loving stupid waste of electricity and circuit boards. I know you can say the same thing about fireworks or whatever, but I don't know I hate them. We're so obviously past the point of sustainability and the world is dying and some nerd is jerking off at the idea of building a fleet of ten thousands drones to paint star wars murals in the sky just gently caress off with this come on please.

Would Diogenes have a problem with my huge collection of piss jugs

According to wikipedia a jug is "a type of container commonly used to hold liquids. It has an opening, sometimes narrow, from which to pour or drink, and has a handle, and often a pouring lip. Jugs throughout history have been made of metal, and ceramic, or glass, and plastic is now common." The etymology of jug is from the 14th century old english "jubbe" which itself may have came from a word for servant, and possibly a name of a specific person.

If you're interested in knowing more you might enjoy the American Jug Museum on in Evanston Illinois.

I've posted so many dozens of words about Brother printers today, which means that tomorrow Brother is going to unveil Brother+, a $2.99 a month mandatory subscription service that does nothing other than let your printer function normally. Don't worry, if you buy a new Brother printer, it comes with 3 free months of Brother+, followed by 50% off Brother+ as long as you pay for an annual subscription to Brother+ bundled with Hulu. If you try to print out something without an active Brother+ subscription, your printer will only produce pixelated pictures of the times in your life where you were not brave

She left, and she's not coming back

Brother+

The 2 factor "approve printing" button in the mandatory app is so easy to use though.

Idk about y'all but when I was growing up nobody knew how to type and computers were black magic and nothing has changed except kids can use touchscreens.

People still don't learn basic computer skills and most people still hunt and peck.

Idk why y'all are thinking the kids are so stupid. They're as stupid as the general public always has been and always will be.

I played piano and had my parents old electric typewriter so I learned that stuff pretty easy, but most people never do and never really need to anyway

I taught myself to type when I was like 6 years old and the way I type I use index fingers for like 90% of it and only occasionally use the middle/ring fingers on my left hand so everyone who sees me type thinks I'm doing the hunt&peck thing except I type at like 110+ WPM and confuse the poo poo out of everyone

I don't trust homerow typers, they're slow and prone to errors, also they're conformists.

Now when you pause Youtube on a console, the video shrinks so they can display an ad on the right half of your screen. I try to pause videos to read stuff and the video instantly becomes too small for me to read it.

I watched Twitch on my phone for the first time in over a year and they also squashed the stream over to the side to show me an ad on the other side... while the stream was playing!

Today I got a new gaming mouse. You know, one of those fancy ones with lots of extra buttons.

I wanted to know which button changed the sensitivity. The mouse came with a little piece of paper. In the past, this paper would have an image of the mouse with labels pointing to the buttons explaining their function. That is way too old fashioned.

This mouse came with a QR code that I could scan with my phone. Then it lets me register the mouse online. Then it texts my phone with a confirmation number. Then I get to choose my region. Then I get to start again because it timed me out. Then I can search on their website for the mouse I bought by name, even though I scanned the QR code already.

Then I got to view a PDF on my phone depicting the mouse and explaining the buttons. It was a big file so we could have about 40 languages on there.

This is so much better than that old primitive piece of paper. They saved so much of Earth's resources by still including the piece of paper but then adding several electronic steps to the task of finding "What mouse button do"

Why didn't you just press each mouse button once?
