Shouldn’t the first image be “Successfully scheduling?”

I actually need to pick up some basic Japanese and was looking for something like this! This is great, thank you!

docx is OOXML, Open Office XML.

However, it was definitely written to ensure existing doc files could be fully supported, so a lot of the format is “bit 7: if enabled, use Word for Mac 5.0 layout engine.” So… Documented, yes. Usable, no.

PDF, as mentioned, is very similar. The format is available, but no one really wants to implement ALL of it.

Shareholders want an ever-increasing return. Officers of a publicly traded company have legal responsibility to the shareholders, not “customers” or the public – so the publicly traded studios have to make little line continually go up. Even making the same profit as last year is deemed a failure (or cause for bailout or purchase). So yeah, the people making decisions have zero tolerance for risk. =]

Forgot the goat-triggered Delay of Skiing.

My partner and I have tried to explain this to our child. They just don’t get it. I even got them the Carmen San Diego handheld game… But without a physical book, it doesn’t feel the same anyway.

But we’ve made them listen to Rockapella. They make us listen to their music, we expand their horizons!

I have entirely too many domains at namesilo.com. Privacy is included for free in the majority of circumstances – not for .org. .com renewals for me are down to $8.85 year because of the aforemented “too many.” I also have some .social and other newer TLDs and those are stupidly expensive.

I use nothing else from namesilo. For domains I use I don’t even use their nameservers. But for what I need, their UI is sometimes awful, but it does what I need.

I hadn’t seen these charts before. I simultaneously thank you for sharing and wish I could go back to my ignorance, just for a little longer.

Google.com and YouTube.com and goo.gl. OneDrive.com and office.com and PowerPoint.com. It’s because as every company’s footprint expands they’ve proliferated domains and they’re not all subdomains of the obvious ones.

I wonder if it also overall lowers their costs, as they no longer have to pay for hundreds of .com registrations.

It’s so that you can approve .Google and only .Google .

“Well actually…” I understand that some of the large companies are leveraging it to ease filtering for customers. No one wants to block all .com, but you can opt to unblock/block all of .microsoft or .google, that would be useful.

Third or fourth hand information, so I don’t know how far along any of these companies in implementing, but… It kinda feels like they’re trying to build a centralized version a la CompuServe or Prodigy or even AOL over the internet that a company can choose to connect to.

I use Generative AI at work because I know it’s being tracked. I’ve offered examples and suggestions about things I’ve done with it.

I’ve then outright referred to it as the World’s Worst Intern. Sometimes it does the right thing, but you always have to check. Sometimes it says it’s going to do the right thing, but actually does something different. Sometimes it does completely the wrong thing.

So I have it do the things that I can do – rote steps, easy changes I can explain faster than I can type, bulk renames or code cleanup that the compiler can validate – but not the things I don’t know if I can do. I trust the compiler, I don’t trust the code it wrote. I’ll use it to write the first draft of documentation based on the steps I took, but I’m editing it and expanding it.

It’s not smart. It’s not intelligent. It can kind of do things as long as you’re willing to let it flail for a while or to spend the time checking it’s work. It’s the World’s Worst Intern.

Thank you for the great explanation! I felt I had to come back to thank you after I tried to upvote your reply twice. I’m going to look into this more – and then look at how far out on the lake I can get signal. Thank you!

I’m a complete newbie to LoRa/Meshtastic things, so please forgive the honest question: what do you use this for? I see it has some sensors out of the box, but… What are you doing with it?

Oh, I know. I’m not a little kid but I probably shouldn’t put them in my mouth. Honestly, I’d be more worried about my dog.

I like seeing other people’s recommendations for books I need to get!

My mom’s cookbook of choice was “The Joy of Cooking,” so that’s what I bought when I moved across the country. It has explanations of how and why it makes decisions, and mistakes one might make.

Switch cartridges also taste terrible, so simultaneously you need to put them somewhere to be sure you don’t lose them while switching cases AND you don’t want to make the mistake of finding out the hard way because you needed your hands free.

There’s a blu-ray decoder extended license.

Stop! You’re scaring me!

He’s still sore about the XFL, isn’t he.
