  • According to https://android.gadgethacks.com/news/chrome-weightsbin-file-what-the-4gb-ai-download-is-and-how-to-delete-it/ the machine needs 4GB of GPU VRAM among other requirements for Chrome to actually download the model.My work laptop doesn't have this so it seems I've blocked something that wasn't gonna happen anyways.Chrome has now successfully updated to the version 148.0.7778.97 that would've given me the weights.bin if I was running eligible hardware.

    edit: apparently I was wrong. My intel igpu counts my system ram as vram. I can't see that I've downloaded the weights.bin though.

  • On the eve of his 100th birthday on 8 May, Sir David Attenborough shares a message for us all:

    "I had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas. I’ve been completely overwhelmed by birthday greetings from preschool groups to care home residents and countless individuals and families of all ages.

    "I simply can’t reply to each of you all separately, but I would like to thank you all most sincerely for your kind messages, and wish those of you who have planned your own local events tomorrow, have a very happy day."

  • For Windows 11 the folder to look for is %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel\On my work laptop that folder didn't exist yet so for fun I created the folder and removed all permissions for everyone to it.Not sure what's gonna happen if Google Chrome wants to push the weights.bin file when the ntfs permissions deny it.

  • Welcome to the losing side, I guess. At least an ancient egyptian would enjoy the fact that we've regressed to using hieroglyphs instead of proper written words in our menu systems.

    "Press the hamburger menu in the upper corner" "the what now?" "Press the three horizontal lines in the upper corner and then look for the cogwheel" compared to "Press "File" in the upper corner and then choose "Settings"".

    If making design and aesthetics easier in multiple languages means regressing to hieroglyphs that change meaning depending on context, then I rather have a menu that grows a bit unseemly when using a language with longer words than English.

  • Look into NAT hairpinning on your router/firewall and see if you can use the external ip. :)

  • Yeah, a third-party headhunter isn't worth it. When

    <friend from school>

    reaches out and says their team at

    <company>

    needs someone with

    <skill set>

    and they thought of you then it's another question completely. :)

  • You use the contacts you gained during your studies and internships to get your foot inside the door and a chance to speak to a human.

    The linkedin approach only works when a company headhunts, not when a worker does the same, in my experience.

  • Vegetarians nowadays eat eggs, vegans wear leather and self-hosters do it on someone else's computer.I'm old and grumpy and will stick to calling the modern vegetarians lacto-ovo-vegetarians, tell the modern vegans that veganism is a lifestyle not a diet and insist that a VPS on Hetzner is hosted by Hetzner, even if you have to manage and maintain the VM.

  • Not that my tiny customers have enough of an IT budget to buy their own servers with the recent price hike on memory and ssds.

  • The only thing I can think of then is to get your family members to start curating the photos into different albums using the Immich app. That way the sync gets to work and you get the usage statistics of the app up higher allowing the background task to run. If you create some shared albums and ask them to contribute photos to them f.e.Or simply telling them about your shared album and getting them to check it out using the app.

  • After checking the german datacenter vps offerings I realize that Glesys can't compete.

  • I think I prefer having to tile my windows with Super+Arrow keys to be honest. I doubt Hyprland will know what I run in the different terminal windows and therefore can't automagically tile them in the quarters I want them.But I haven't tried it, been too satisfied with KDE Plasma to look further at Wayland desktops.

  • I imagine that they don't care for the small segment of users that can install another OS. Even if they stay at Windows we probably hamper and sabotage the telemetry/adware parts of the OS and become less profitable.

    When looking at their Q4 earnings the Windows and Devices and Advertisement revenue should be high enough to warrant some effort. That effort is probably to increase the Advertisement revenue though.https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/investor/earnings/fy-2025-q4/segment-revenues

  • I wasn't, no. Seems like it can be useful but I'm probably gonna keep using notepad instead of risking having sensitive data saved in the clipboard history. :)

  • The notepad++ update infrastructure is secure now, yeah. Not that I ever did the in app updates tbh.

  • I went to Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases and turned Notepad off so I can start the old one with win+r "notepad".I only use it as a clipboard, my .txt, .log and .csv are all bound to open with notepad++.
