AI Models Falter Answering Election Questions in Spanish.

Was the iMac a casualty of the “capacitor plague” that happened a few years ago? I revived an old monitor pretty easily from a blown cap

Fuck, I’m this comment…

Do people not understand how files work?

Oh honey, imagine trying to tech-support a family of rednecks. Threaten to charge them for services and they’ll stop pretty quick though…

There’s got to be a better way to do cross posts. When people/bots crosspost, my “All” feed gets cluttered with multiple copies of the same post. Maybe something like a drop-down showing all the instances and communities it’s posted to.

Edited to fix autocorrect…

Mazda recently surprised customers by requiring them to sign up for a subscription in order to keep certain services. Now, notable right-to-repair advocate Louis Rossmann is calling out the brand.

Services. Services!? What the actual fuck are you talking about!? Remote start isn’t a fucking service, it’s a feature, that they are trying to control through greed.

Edit: I will give a small concession to the remote remote start, as that does need an OTA service. The service of course shouldn’t be any more complicated than a SMS setup, so $15 per year is the absolute most you’ll be able to get out of me…

2nd edit: And you damn well better include free modem upgrades. None of this $50+ for a fucking map update shit the other companies are pulling. That shit should have been an OTA update, Christ knows the damn thing tries to find an open Wi-Fi…

Damn! I never even thought about sending it YouTube links. I might try doing that with some of those “retrospective” videos that are hours long.

Innovative solutions to what problems exactly? Problems they created so that AI could solve them?

Because each and every one of them is a hypocrite.

Musk plans to sue advertisers planning to withdraw from x in record numbers.

My Halo account name is fuckmandatorysignins@personalDomain.com

Fuck you Microsoft, fuck you Logitech, if the Internet goes down, I’m fucked…

Hell, I stopped using LiveJournal when they were bought out by a Kremlin aligned company and moved all the servers to Russia…

The complete and utter lack of a mobile friendly interface is beyond frustrating. No android, i don’t want you to snap zoom to the search bar every fucking time i go to my stacks page!?

During the pandemic my car sat in the garage until the battery died. After 7 hours of charging it, turned on the car and found the hybrid battery was almost full.

I get why the high and low voltage systems are separate, but damn that was one of those “Really!?” moments…

I had to fight my old company to purchase Fireworks since it had the absolute best jpeg compression engine. I still miss the “export selection” tool…

For me, it was wake on LAN that Windows just kept sucking at. Leave the computer, it goes to sleep. Wake up the next morning, head into my office, computer is wide fucking awake and the whole room is warm…

I’d go back, put my feet on the desk and collect a little walkin around money, basically daring them to fire me again…

And yet, my YouTube app has to be force closed at least once a day because they just can’t seem to get their shit together…

Dear YouTube/Google/Alphabet/what-the-fuck-ever, GET YOUR APP SORTED FIRST! THEN TRY ADDING FEATURES!?

And it looks off-center too…

If you’re close to a Microcenter, they should have a bunch of “sample” keyboards so you can find the switches you want. Nowadays, you can even build your own keyboard with swappable switches, so you can have different switches for your WASD keys, if you’re into that…
