So it turns out the Perth Museum is massive. I’ve been here three hours and done, like, one floor
I said “ok google” and she replied “I can’t find your WiFi. You might want to check your router and connections”. Ok. Fair enough but why did the one in the kitchen start playing arabic music? I don’t even know what Rayan FM is but it says “Stay with us”. Ok, but a please might’ve been nice.
a please might’ve been nice
it’s not a suggestion.
A plea or a command? I dunno.
An order.
Just had my teeth cleaned at the dentist. Holy fucking shit that sucked.
Don’t ever do that without local!
I wish I’d known that was an option lol
It was a good laugh with the dentists, but holy shit never again without a local
My dentist sent me to a periodontist for a deep clean. It took two hours and $3000 dollars. That sucked too.
Ouuuuuuch
I started the day with multiple packidge notifs and great delight, i end it with no packidge and great aggro.
Bonus aggro: trying to tell a vendor about a serious code issue on their back end and getting shuffled to the AI dumbass repeatedly telling me invalid solutions that assume i’m at fault. Gaaaaaaaaah
I need to remember moisturise my skin more; so much dry skin.
I’m going to buy my old laptop off work but it needs a new SSD.
I don’t want to spend too much on a replacement SSD, but I need to balance speed and capacity.
There’s probably no point looking on the second hand market as SSDs just wear out and I’d be buying one with a shorter shelf life vs going new
SSDs are getting pretty dirt cheap, you can get a 240gb for $29. Is it SATA or NVME?
Its NVME and I figured I’d go 2tb gen 4 since that’s what’s in there.
I can get one for about $169 but I’m all about cost minimisation
How much free space do you have on there? I’ve only got a 1tb in my gaming pc because media lives on the NAS. I could probably have gotten away with a 500gb, I only play three games anyway.
There’s plenty of free space on there at the moment because it just has work stuff.
It might replace my current laptop because it can get pretty slow at times, but weirdly it’s only on the internet, and specifically sites like Google Maps.
I don’t have a NAS set up yet. Definitely on my list of things to do, I should just buy one because I’ve had trouble getting the desktop to work as remote storage.
2tb is heaps for a laptop, do you need that much?
If you drop down to gen 3, it’ll still be plenty fast and slightly cheaper: https://www.umart.com.au/product/silicon-power-2tb-p34a60-gen3x4-tlc-r-w-up-to-2-200-1-600-mb-s-pcie-m-2-nvme-ssd-61704
But gen4 from the same site is not much more: https://www.umart.com.au/product/klevv-2tb-cras-c910-k02tbm2sp0-c91-pcie-4-0-nvme-m-2-2280-ssd-80368
Never heard of klevv though, could be sketchy
I just figured I’d keep it consistent. The HP SSD I’m looking at is at least a known brand and a bit faster for just a bit more.
The current laptop is filing up, but that’s from trying to get old games running on it through WINE and not being partitioned properly because I left Windows on there. I could back everything up to the new laptop and do a clean sweep of the old one.
Got robbed for the first time ever, just some stuff out of the garage. Still unlikely to vote liberal/nationals.
Oh wow, how did they get in?
dunno. Garage door was open when we got up. It has been opening itself but I thought we solved that issue.
I’m sorry to hear that, I hope you didn’t lose too much from it.
Oh shit, that sucks
yep. Quoting up replacements and it wont be cheap.
Hopefully your insurance covers it all. Let me know if you need any tips. Companies can get shifty with claims and such. happy to provide some advice from previous experiences
it wont sadly. Excess is like 2k. We intentionally set it as high when the premium and just accepted if the tv blew up or got stolen we will just cop it on the chin. So I guess thats whats gonna happen.
that’s awful
Damn, that sucks. It may be expensive but I hope it was nothing sentimental.
So the rest of the family here missed out on a whole table being delivered. I just brought it in from the front step.
We’ve got one of those Google doorbells so once I find one of the old Home Minis we have kicking around I’m going to set it up in the back half of the house so they can hear the doorbell
Off again today but attended a meeting with the slt of a large national franchise chain.
They were actually pretty funny lol I was surprised how they didn’t have a giant stick shoved up their ass.
Procrastinated biiiig time today but wow, I have to confess, when I finally got around to it… ChatGPT saved me hours of time and heaps of mental energy by spitting out a perfect script that did exactly what I needed it to and I got the thing done in 5 minutes. Even was able to get an instant solution when I initially got an error (it was because my Python path environmental variable had been misconfigured which was an easy fix). And able to get it to explain or run snips of the code to see what the output would be like…
I feel a bit dumber for not figuring it out myself but then again, seriously, I have better things to be doing with my time and brain right now. So excited that this did what I needed!
I’ve tinkered with using AI to help with code and it’s one area I’d trust it with a bit more than anything else. Code is a lot more structured than regular language so it’s harder for AI to just hallucinate an answer. And it helps when you’re somewhat familiar with the language and you’re trying to fix a specific problem.
I’m pretty ignorant of the details but it’s my general experience that GIGO applies
sounds to me like you’re very skilled and knowledgeable and can use tools well
i would be totes clueless
I’ve been wearing my top inside out til now until someone told me about it.
Yep, having that sort of a day.
Old friend asked me the other evening if I missed Carlton.
I do not.
Carlton Gardens were nice but I think I liked them because there were no front gardens in the streets, it was just terrace houses. Here there are large front gardens every where with all kinds of plantings and designs.
That’s the thing I like about living in the suburbs. There’s a man a few streets away who has filled his garden with beautiful wildflowers and every time I pass it, it makes me happy :)
Got some hot cross buns on clearance from Aldi, for the applie and cinnamon ones for 2 bucks.
I just ate a big bowl of super crunchy chips from the air fryer, oh they were so good, haven’t had them for ages.
I’m watching Underbelly for the first time since it “aired” and we all watched it on bootleg dvds smuggled over the border. Still pretty gripping.
I liked when they fought for the gun like two brothers fighting for a remote. Just both grab it and wriggle.
I’ve changed so much by reducing my adhd medication.
It’s mind blowing.
Imagine all of a sudden, your crippling social anxiety is gone. Just like that.
Unreal.
I’m glad you’re better. You are a sweet kind man who deserves better in the world.
That’s incredibly kind of you to say :)
this is wonderful that you are so much better 🌞
Imagine all of a sudden, your crippling social anxiety is gone. Just like that.
You would be unstoppable! This is an excellent development!
