  • With 5¼" disks, it was more convenient to keep them in a ring binder by punching holes in them.

    The other similar story I've heard is someone asking for the backup copy of a disk and being handed a photocopy.

  • Some laptops use magnets to help the lid snap closed. I took the back off an old Lenovo and could see the magnets clipped inside.

  • "Our Pixel range has a fast easy-to-find fingerprint reader on the back. It's possible to unlock the phone as you're removing it from your pocket without even trying. How can we improve that?"

    "How about we hide a slow, unreliable one somewhere under the screen. You can't feel or see where it is. When you do find the right spot, it'll illuminate your finger with the light of a thousand suns. Then, it might unlock the phone, if you're lucky."

  • I'm not typing all that in. No wonder emacs users are angry all the time.

  • I pressed 6 while holding shift, then x. But it just typed ^x in my file.

    Maybe I need to swap black and white as I type them, but I don't know how to do that.

  • ok then

  • Music went through this many years ago.

    iTunes would have drm'd music files. Amazon too, I think.

    Then at some point it all became sane and I could buy an MP3 and download it.

  • Possibly her best scene was in Enterprise, where during an appointment with Data you see that her PADD says "top beach destinations".

  • What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally?

    Jump

  • I've run koboldcpp on a steam deck. You have to stick to small model files, of course, like maybe 4Gb, but you can get decent speed if you do.

    And Edge Gallery on Android can run models locally on a phone.

  • If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting?

  • I use Obsidian as a OneNote replacement because it's built around markdown, which is just a a text file that includes structure and formatting.

    I don't use their subscription syncing service, just sync files to my own phone and server. Obsidian is great for organizing, but I can still read all the files as text.

  • I found that the resilio mobile app would use up a lot of battery at night (sometimes about 10% an hour).

    Syncthing was better for that, but would sometimes just stop updating on a phone. I would check and it would have not been syncing for weeks and be signed out of the web UI.

  • If you were a roofer and you built a roof and it was two feet off, you'd still be in prison

    Unless it was the prison roof that you built.

  • While we're at it, is a compass needle's North pole actually a South so that it points North? Or is the Earth's North pole actually South so that the needle's North pole points to it?

    (I know that I could look this up, I just want to confuse people.)

  • Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android

    Jump

  • I should add that I do use it for backups, it's a great program, but I've only ever used it for one-way scheduled syncs.

  • Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android

    Jump

  • I've sometimes found that it just stops syncing on one phone. And I did turn off battery management.

    I need something that's reliable.

    I use resilio, but recently it used 20% battery in 6 hours overnight, when nothing needed syncing.

  • Is there any way for it to sync from desktop to Android immediately when a file changes on the PC?

  • BCD is something that's supported directly by some processor instruction sets.
