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.


I recently went to the bank to get a letter on their headed notepaper to act as proof of account ownership. They just printed it out on blank paper from a laser printer.


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.


Grep was originally written to help identify the authors of the Federalist Papers.
There are much more powerful tools to automate that kind of pattern matching now, of course.
Okay then, how about doors? https://lizengland.com/blog/the-door-problem/
In recent times I’ve played Baby Steps, Cocoon, Inside, Slay The Princess, Thank Goodness You’re Here, Hyperbolica, Unpacking… Going further back, Unfinished Swan, Untitled Goose Game
I don’t think that originality has gone. Maybe it’s just easier to churn out shovelware, but there are still new ideas appearing.

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.


That’s a great question!


Wait, does “this comment” refer to your comment, or the one that you’re replying to?


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.


Just having driveway alarms can be useful. Battery motion sensors trigger a chime on the base unit. Enough to give you an alert that something needs to be checked.


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.


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?


Last year they announced a price increase to the 365 subscription along with adding copilot features.
It turned out that they had actually kept the non-copilot version at the original price as a hidden “legacy” subscription.
So they were just tricking people into paying for the copilot upgrade.
I had to look up embeddings: so this is comparing the encoding of movies as a similarity test?
Which can work because the encoding methods can indicate closeness of meaning.
And that’s why this isn’t running an llm in any way.
