They're reading the wiki for lore because they're 85% through the game skipping all cutscenes and lore drops, but they're finally interested in the story now, if only because of the lore based puzzle they're stuck at.

I love the Moon+ Reader app. Tons of features. I like that it has a dark mode and you can set the brightness very very low (on OLED) so reading in the dark at night is comfortable.

It's just stretched. That portrait of Mario is supposed to be square, but here it's wider than it is tall.

Probably just a setting on their TV. Maybe it's intentional or maybe they didn't realize.

Can confirm. I love both.

That's their kink.

In addition to all the automation everyone has talked about, some of us are also data nerds.

I enjoy knowing the temp, air quality, etc. in every room. How does this change throughout the day/season? Did leaving this door open or this fan on improve anything? What can I automate at what threshold to improve things?

You can also get a lot of data about energy usage too. And if you have solar and battery, it's neat seeing how much it affects and how much you save.

Automation is useful, but in the end it's just a hobby like many other things. It's fine to be into it or not into it.

Nah, it's just an incredibly lossy compression

Let's get this out onto a tray.

And the nature of computers is that they are magnitudes better than humans at brute forcing. Machine learning can brute force (depending on the technique, it can be smarter than brute forcing, being more efficient) test many many many more designs and techniques than we could manually do. Sure it'll fail many times, but it's just a numbers game, and it can pump those numbers. It'll try a lot of weird and unique stuff we wouldn't even think to try, with varying degrees of success.

Yeah, it makes me think back to the CD days. I think just having a Windows install CD already premade for you made the process at least semi approachable.

Last month when I was installing an OS (it was proxmox, not exactly beginner friendly, I know) the first boot disk creator I used "worked" but ended up failing in the install. The second one worked though.

All in all, creating your own install disk is nice and flexible, but it really is a barrier for the average user.

I've never seen x-files, but it does get brought up a lot in conversation about Fringe (one of my favorites). Fringe starts off as {insert scifi thing} of the week, and then the plot starts to develop later. I recommend giving it a shot.

I stumbled upon this regex crossword puzzle a while back. I was never good enough to get it, but it seems like it could be fun.
