Buckshot

100%. It irks when software has messages in the first person. The human-like TTS are very uncanny valley to me.

I needed voice over for a video recently and everyone is telling me to use AI, I tried dozens and they'll all just off. Ended up getting a friend to record it. I don't have a decent mic so my own recording sounded bad.

I have to use windows at work, have 32gb and regularly get browser tabs unloaded for low memory. I'm not running VMs or anything. Usually just Firefox, visual studio, and slack.

Personal computer is Linux with 16gb and that's more than enough.

I've found the same thing. I've turned off the auto suggestions while tying because by the time I'm typing i already know what I'm going I'm to type and having mostly incorrect suggestions popping up every 2 seconds was distracting and counterproductive.

Built mine about 12 years old before YouTube existed. Honestly can't remember where i learned. I think i just guessed. I'd previously taken apart my parents because i was that kind of kid so that's probably it. There's not many things that can go in the wrong place and cause damage.

My dad saw me doing it and quit his job as a butcher to start a business doing pc repairs and sales. This was around 2001.

I just got a phone case that holds my debit card in the back and turned off NFC.

I had the same issue which is by I don't self host bitwarden. If my house burned down the same day Bitwarden had a catastrophic outage I'd probably have issues but that seems unlikely.

Years ago now, they pushed an offer for lifetime subscription onto my server. I clicked it, went through to their website and bought it, paid, the subscription activated and worked.

The next day they emailed to say actually i wasn't eligible for the offer, they cancelled it and refunded me and said it would actually cost $30 more.

I installed Jellyfin that same day, it was pretty buggy back then but was definitely the right decision.

I do this. I already had a cloud vps with a vpn on it for remote access so i figured i might as well set it up to route traffic as well.

Still get loads of sites blocking me

Yes, you need the sandboxed Play services and have to gove it a few extra permissions but it works fine after that.

Helped a disabled pensioner recently with her phone that kept plaging loud obnoxious ads at her even while locked.

She had 4 different "virus scanners" that were all fake adware.

I speed ran this. First job right out of uni, the team lead went on holiday 2 weeks later and never came back. Everyone else was gone within 3 months.

Bought a new dryer recently and ended paying more for one that didn't have internet connectivity. It's entire operation requires physical presence, why would i need ever need remote access. It's just something else to go wrong.
