CCleaner also hasn’t been necessary since at least Windows 7. I remember working in a PC repair shop when people would just arbitrarily run CCleaner on its most aggressive settings whether it was needed or not and it would always break more things than it fixed.

This is still my favorite meme of all time and I have no idea why.

Hit me with that Opus No. 1

I’ve had the most luck with using ChatGPT for troubleshooting my existing code. I typically tend to lean more towards creative coding, and can provide it with my source code and a casual explanation of the issue and it can often explain how to manipulate things in a way I want.

I’ve relied on it a lot less for code generation and found it to be much more useful as a tutor for concepts that I can rework myself. I haven’t spent much time with Copilot since most of my projects are aiming for an uncommon goal.

Where I’ve found it to be less than useful in code generation is I’ll get caught in a loop where it’s trying an approach I’m not familiar with, so I feed it back the errors I’m getting and hoping it can solve it on its own, but it rarely is able to.

I don’t code professionally, but I’d probably hesitate to use it for anything used in production just based on what I’ve experienced.

It’s a series, but The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window was a pretty fun watch.

This is amplified by 10 of its music you made.

Hue bulbs (and any other RGB LED) can display (almost) any color perceptible to the human eye as it combines the three wavelengths of colors our eyes can detect (red, green and blue) and blends them at different brightnesses. The “millions of colors” sell comes from 16-bit color found all over the place in technology. Here’s more info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_color

I remember back in high school, this was the browser to have on your flash drive. So many built-in tools that were normally entire separate programs. It had an email client, BitTorrent, download manager, FTP client… all sorts of tools so you didn’t have to keep them all updated and portable separately.

It was a sad day when all of that started getting stripped out just to end up like every other Chromium copy on the market.

Been on Firefox ever since they took away my grid home screen.

Goodbye, my once good friend.🫡

If Silicon Valley taught me anything, take the cash.

Ouiji was the worst offender of this. The first half of the movie, it’s got some of my favorite subtle directing in it, keeping you on your toes, then BAM. Halfway through they’re showing the creature in full view and it’s some generic black goo. Not scary at all. Would have been way better if the horror never showed its face.
