Buy living lettuce. Eat lettuce leaves. Plant lettuce stump in pot. Regrow lettuce. Eat lettuce leaves. Repeat.
This feels like vegetable piracy. And I love it. 🥬 🧑🌾 🥗 😋

@jerrod @geerlingguy Glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Imagine being chastised on International TV/LiveStream to make sure you're keying your mic. 😅

@smallsco @ActionRetro Circa 2004-ish, my workplace had an old PC with Linux installed acting as our ISP failover router. A colleague set it up and it was replaced pretty quickly after he left, but it served well for a time.

@Karma_J@mastodon.social @nocontexttrek@mastodon.social The truly great thing about this scene? Several patents for transparent aluminum were filed right around the time this film took place. Meaning that we're obviously living in the timeline where Scotty changed the future by leaking the formula to the past. 😁

Working in tech is frequently exhausting. Late hours doing maintenance work when you should be relaxing, enjoying yourself, or focusing on personal matters. The bodily-trauma reaction of getting a text message on a weekend from someone at your workplace. And now, everything A.I.
I can and have handled a LOT in my decades working in IT, but today is a day I just want to cry. I'm genuinely afraid for our technology and infrastructure future.
Hopefully you other geeks can understand. That's all.

@DosFox (Sorry for all the replies, I am a completionist by nature and now the answer to this Mac OS version gap MUST be found!)
Oh look, a lawsuit against Mr. Beast has revealed him as a creep and an asshole. I am shocked, SHOCKED.
Anyway... nice weather we're having lately.

@DosFox What about the efforts to run those versions on CHRP hardware?
EDIT: Nah, my bad. The CHRP versions cap out at 8.0, so the gap is still there.

@DosFox Hey look! Back in 2022, someone used a similar trick to run 9.2.2 on the Wii.

It's still a *little* jank, but I assure you it's much cleaner and professional-looking than before. All it took was some rack rails, 3D-printing, and a little ingenuity. 😁

If you enjoyed the fact that I designed and 3D-printed a custom rear ports cover for the my Power Macintosh Blue & White G4 mod, you can now download that model for yourself on MakerWorld (if you happen to be doing that exact same, super-specific mod).
Now with icons!

AI model breaks out of it's testing environment and attacks a rival company.
Maybe this is marketing hype, but one thing is clear: OpenAI is not capable of controlling their own models. #FuckAI #infosechttps://apnews.com/article/openai-gpt56-sol-hugging-face-63ab84fed5612af04d8a160d60f6def3

@jzk@mas.to So many questions.
Like, why would any company want to keep their product a secret?
Why didn’t the designer cut out that red text of “still” from the background with a white outline?
So is… is A/UX… kosher?

@geerlingguy@mastodon.social Well, I still have one empty sled. Though I have no idea what version it is.
EDIT: Everyone online says the SAS/SATA sleds for the G5s and Xeon Xserves are identical? If so, that's what I got.

@geerlingguy@mastodon.social Some advice would be helpful (maybe an expanded video?) for those of us who bought into the Bambu ecosystem during its heyday and intended it to be THE ONE 3D printer we were going to own for the foreseeable future.
My guess: Turn on LAN mode and use a 3rd-party slicer?
