Back when I came into the office every day, it was a 45-minute commute. At least one day every week, I had no active memory of getting from the north side of the beltway to my house (about 20-25 minutes). I'd reach this point, and it was like someone flipped a switch, and I became aware that I existed.

I've done this with Audio Books. I've listened to 2-3 chapters, and they'll mention an assassin; Brain goes, wait, assassin? WHAT ASSASSIN? I start rolling back find out I completely tuned out 20 minutes of the story.

I got to buy a flip and a fold for QA purposes for work. I test drove them for a few days before handing them over.

I daily drive an s24 ultra so I'm a fan of big phones already.

The use case for the fold is for anything where you would rather have a tablet. Some people would rather consume media on a bigger device. The real downside to me with the fold was the thickness while folded. It was uncomfortably thick in my pocket. And then of course there's the inability to have any decent protection on the phone, and the lack of water resistance.

Now the flip on the other hand, I really enjoyed that device. It opened up to the same size as a decently large phone, you could fold it up and throw it in your pocket, It was protected.

They're both too damn expensive. You could buy the biggest baddest flagship phones with the most beautiful screens and cameras for the same price as something that just folds up a little smaller in your pocket.

ALL ROBOTS MUST ATTEND!

I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac.

Same. 2015. I could have pushed them to let me use Linux, but it would have been making waves in a remote shop. The 2015 MacBook hardware was decent, so I got it. Domain binding was still in fashion. 99 problems. Finally, I got it okay-ish, set up Brew, it's a hack. I started trying to use the terminal to do things, almost no config available, the disk mount subsystem was alien, the logs were crap. Since then, the hardware and compatibility has just gotten awful.

You're not wrong. I use it a lot. it's super for short local trips and maybe medium trips.

When I asked it to go a few states over, routing cost me a couple of hours last time before I realized something was off.

Use it, but scrutinize it.

Music artists aren't getting paid.

Companies regularly buy up IP, then leave it unavailable.

No central ability to find things.

All licenses are temporary and have no end date.

Companies are regularly raising rates far beyond inflation.

Lowering quality for a given price, then making a higher price point to get it back.

Adding advertisements and raising rates to get rid of them.

Selling our watching habits.

Or, you can download it and not deal with any of that.

When piracy rates go up, it's because customer service and value has gone down.

I keep one in a docker container and one in an actual pi, that way I can perform updates and upgrades without interrupting DNS service at the house.

If it weren’t mainly a rural vs. urban split, I

Yeah, we'd have to move them somewhere, perhaps down South.... Make the link around say Virginia... Sounds familiar, but I can't lay my finger on it...

First time I've heard of your project. it looks great!

Do you have any place you'd like to collect result issues? I'd be willing to run it for a while and give feedback on anything out of whack.

The biggest problem I see in about 10 minutes of playing with it:

Official documentation gets trampled by older fan docs.

q="Setting up Tailscale on Linux"

In a perfect world would give you "https://tailscale.com/kb/1031/install-linux"

Bing, Google, Quant, all rate that high (#1), it's a universal instruction page for most linux.

q="Tailscale" does bring me right to the official site.

q="site:tailscale.com tailscale setup" does net a couple of results from their kb, but not 1031.

another example

q="Pinokio Setup"

expecting to headline pinokio.computer as the official site, but there's nothing on the first page.

changing it to q="pinokio" drops you right on the pinokio.computer

q="site:pinokio.computer pinokio setup" results in no results

It's super responsive, please keep up the good work!

Hell, even if you are a programmer and have no memory issues, it's a hell of a lot faster to have it boilerplate something for you for a given engine with certain features than to sit down and write it from scratch or try to find a boilerplate. Stack exchange usage has been going down regularly as LLMs are filling the gap.

It doesn't get you to third base or anything. But it does get you started and well-structured within the first couple minutes of code for any reasonably simple task.

Last year I worked on a synchronized Halloween projector project. I had the first week of work saved into my repo, but as Halloween approached, I wrote a lot of it on the server. After Halloween, I failed to commit it back and inadvertently wiped the box.

This year, after realizing my code was gone, I decided to try having copilot give me a head start. I had it start back over from scratch, asked it in detail for exactly what I had last year, it was all fully functional again in about 4 hours. It was clean, functional well documented code. I had no problem extending it out with my own work and picked up like I hadn't lost anything.

Nobody is going to upload this but this is the same scenario that had Brave screwing around with cryptocurrency and selling search engine results.
