Came here to say this exact thing. Crazy to me how people can use weird ass terms like this and not understand why people are put off

Honestly I kinda wish it would give shorter answers unless I ask for a lot of detail. I can use those custom instructions but it's tedious difficult to tune that properly.
Like if I ask it 'how to do XYZ in blender' it gives me a long winded response, when it could have just said 'Hit Ctrl-Shift-Alt-C'

Excellent Radiolab episode about this. Pretty interesting https://radiolab.org/podcast/goo-and-you

A Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 5.2 W/kg technically does exceed limits and device manufacturers agree to meet regulations. However, SAR values are not constant and can vary with real-world usage. Phones often operate at lower power levels, reducing actual SAR exposure.
A weak microwave, for theoretical comparison, would likely put out hundreds of Watts per kg.
People are way more likely to get heat damage from the battery than the radio waves from a cellphone

Careful there. Breatharians might like a word with you.

Anyone got any spare money to buy ads on reddit? I know it's giving them money but maybe it'll help bring more over

Shredded wheat or raisin bran for cereal, bit of yogurt, some fruit, plenty of water. I eat like shit aside from this and I rarely have bowel issues.

Its a gift and a curse. For work I always seem to somehow pull miracles out of my ass, but only last minute. It's likely that days of panic and anxiety are what fuel my miracle powers

I'm willing to bet that not one single wealthy person benefiting from these tax cuts thought: "Hey cool I'll pass the money I saved from these tax cuts down to the less fortunate"

Can't speak for everyone but here are the reasons I prefer an actual jack:
-
3.5mm headphones are extremely universal and can be used for any audio device. USB-C and Bluetooth headphones cannot
-
Bluetooth is extremely inconsistent when paired with multiple devices and often gets disconnected because of competing devices
-
I can't charge my phone and listen to USB c headphones at the same time
-
Manufacturers claim the removal of the jack was to improve the water resistance. I have never dropped my phone in water and would be willing to risk it.
-
I already have too many wireless things to charge
-
I have a small stockpile of broken wireless headphones. Meanwhile my 10 year old wired headphones are collecting dust
-
I have never lost something more often than that tiny ass USB to 3.5mm dongle adapter
-
I distrust large corporations with incentive to get consumers to buy more stuff from them

Yeah probably, but Nvidia can afford lawyers and delays for years. Much longer than any oss group could afford

I think it's more just reducing the overload, not really hiding. An information vacation.

Funny how he refused to separate conflicts of interest when he was president but thinks it's a good idea now that he's in legal trouble
An associate developer foolishly joked about senior developers never being able to spend time actually coding. As a senior developer myself, I took offense to that and decided to waste the last 30 min of my day typing up my previous day. - 09:00 - Sit down, log in to PC, sip of coffee, check emails - 09:20 - Open up IDE, start working on PBI's for current project - 09:45 - Get random email from a different team saying a service I manage isn't working in QA for them. - 09:50 - Tell them nothing has been deployed to QA in weeks so its still the same. Issue must be on their end. - 10:00 - They reply back and CC their boss saying they haven't changed anything on their end so it must be my issue. - 10:10 - My boss emails me asking about a support ticket that came in for a different service in production. Schedules an impromptu meeting to discuss. - 10:35 - Meeting done, pulling QA logs for other team. No log entries for their requests. Strange. - 10:45 - Pull up the project to run locally. Everything runs fine. Check repo to verify nothing new has been pushed to QA. All good there. - 10:50 - Reply back to other team saying I see nothing wrong on my end. Ask them what specific error they get. Start looking into the other service production issue. - 11:00 - Send email to user having production issue asking for more details. Out of office reply... - 11:03 - Forward email to users coworkers. Everyone replies with unrelated and unhelpful info. Guess I'll keep splunking. - 11:30 - Team Standup - 12:00 - Working lunch to make progress on my PBI's. - 13:10 - User replies saying their production issue magically stopped happening. - 13:30 - PI planning meeting. - 13:35 - Other team sends me a chat message asking if I've made any progress on their issue. Tell them a second time I need to see what specific error they are getting. - 13:45 - They send me a screenshot of a generic error popup in their application. - 14:00 - Meeting done, I reply to other team saying that error is on their app, not mine. And can they give me actual logs showing an error response from my service. No reply. - 14:05 - Coffee break. Thinking about taking up smoking. - 14:06 - I ignore a message from my BA asking what's up with the QA issue for the other team. - 14:30 - Another unrelated meeting. - 14:50 - Other team schedules a meeting at 15:00 to discuss this QA issue. Says its keeping them from testing for an upcoming release. - 15:00 - Leave other meeting early to join this new meeting. - 15:05 - Have their QA tester share their screen to show me what they are doing on an app I have never seen or used. - 15:10 - Have them use their browsers web dev tools to get the network call to my service. Everything on their site runs through an ASHX handler so i cant see the actual call to my service. Ask them to get one of their devs on. - 15:20 - One of their devs joins, we go over the whole issue again with them. - 15:25 - Says they hired a consultant to manage this old crap but he is out of office today. I ask if he can still access any logs - 15:45 - Finds the logs. Overly verbose with nothing useful but I do see an error calling an old service we dont use anymore. I ask them to pull up their repo to see recent commits - 16:00 - Shows commits from their consultant yesterday. We start to compare to last known working build. - 16:20 - My BA sends me a 'Bueller?' message. I ignore. - 16:30 - We find a web config entry that is using the old server name for my service that we changed months ago. Consultant must have messed up his repo somehow. We change it to correct URL. - 16:45 - Once we verified the site was working again, i casually joke that I was right all along and none of this was my issue to resolve. Crickets. - 16:46 - Screw this I'm done for today.

Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but for as long as I can remember I can usually stop mild twitches by just thinking about it. They sometimes come back after a few minutes but usually not.
That's probably the only superpower I have.

Hollywood will just do what they always do. Pour billions more into lobbying the government until they pass something that will allow certain exemptions.
Mine is seeing humans having respect for each other. I saw that tonight. It was nice. I hope you all have a good night!
