If it helps, Adguard Home has individual settings of 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d for logs and stats.

Thanks, I'll bear this solution in mind if my printer outlives the driver support.

If you're a light user, best to have a much stronger preference for laser printer. Inkjets use up that expensive ink to clean the nozzles between uses if you're lucky, and will fully clog if you're unlucky (I was unlucky twice and never again). I'm a light user and a laser printer can go for ages between printing.

If it's got copying, it'll have a scanner anyway.

I've got an HP that has served me well and my HP cartridges have lasted ages - not because they're great or cheap, but because I print so little. At the time, I choose HP because it was more compact. Next time, I'll definitely lean towards Brother laser on principle.

Even Apple marketing can't reach this level of truth-bending.

Also, on the "standard with ads" tier, they've removed the ability to chromecast.

Hey @[email protected] OP, I saw this on Reddit and thought of you:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1dluz2r/comment/l9rlakb

That I was more addicted to the breaks and deep breathing than I was to the nicotine.

...

Yes! Because what do you do when you smoke? You go outside and take intentional deep breaths and it relaxes you. So, I kept my full routine of breaks when I needed, went outside and took intentional deep breaths. Just this time without a cigarette. Quitting was SO EASY this time and zero cravings. Because it turns out, she was right.

I need to replace a set of expired smoke detector at my elderly parents' house. They're too old to have alarms going off in the middle of the night just because the wind blows.

Yet, Amazon only seem to sell ones with photo-electric sensors, and many reviews complain about over-sensitivity with dust, and under-sensitivity when the room is clearly full of smoke.

Additionally, the ones with sealed 10 year batteries - many reviews report a battery life of 2 years or so in practice, with increased false positives as battery life runs down. So now, they have to replace whole units rather than just batteries.

What happened to good old ionizing smoke detectors with 9v batteries that needed replacing every 2 years or so?!

In the UK, the ads for these patches also say "requires willpower". From what you've written, it sounds like that's the part of the process you need to find in you. Good luck!

I asked about a plot point that I didn't understand in a TV series old enough to be in an LLM's knowledge. Chatgpt and Perplexity both said they couldn't find any discussions or explanations online for my particular question.

Bard/Gemini gave several explanations, all of them featuring characters, locations, and situations from the show, but confidently bullshit and definitely impossible in the story's world.

Yep, same here. Whereas ChatGPT and Perplexity would tell me it didn't know the answer to my question, Bard/Gemini would confidently hallucinate some bullshit.

Yes, I should've added - whether the write speed matters depends on your own use case.

For my SMR drive, it's taking roughly 2GB of backup files every few hours, in the background, and there's plenty of empty space on the drive. In my case, it doesn't matter at all.

However, if you're sat at your computer, frequently transferring large files while the drive is at least half full, and you have to wait for completion... Then it'll matter.
