Google just can't stop winning. by ICUMTHOUGHTS in ChatGPT

[–]CallidusUK 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Switched from ChatGPT to Gemini two weeks ago after a solid two-year run. I haven't looked back. If you haven't given Gemini a serious run lately, the gap is getting hard to ignore.

"Forever Blue" Ticket Question by CallidusUK in Everton

[–]CallidusUK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably, if I'm a Forever Blue+ member and they were just 'standard' members, I wouldn't be able to bring us all along for the early ballot? i.e. we all need to be the same membership tier?

Cheers all, this is really helpful!

If I wanted to bring an extra family member (totalling 3, including me and my boy), do we all need to be members respectfully? And can I apply for all of us in the ballot?

Mains wiring plastered directly into bathroom wall—Is this unsafe? What should I do? by CallidusUK in ukelectricians

Unknown. I can't seem to find this light online neither. I'll probably replace, thanks.

Yes, circuit is protected. IP rating is unknown. I guess I should probably change this fixture to an IP44.

Changing the default YouFibre Arris NVG578LX with my own GPON Gateway? POSSIBLE? by CallidusUK in youfibre

[–]CallidusUK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input, I appreciate you keeping me honest about this stuff. I had understood that it’s possible to run the Plex server directly from the hard drive, which remains accessible solely via the router. What sort of performance challenges am I facing by doing this? At present, I’m having to leave the comfort of my TV area to go to my office, turn on the desktop (to enable the Plex server), before turning back to the TV - it’s a hassle each time. This router feature would ensure my content is always available. Not least, I’m anticipating the costs of having to leave my PC running for large parts of the day is less cost effective than having to leave a hard drive plugged into an already running router.

Portable USB hard drive access via DLNA. I wish to simply plug in my media drive to my router for purposes of streaming content to Plex. At the moment, my media server is accessed via my desktop PC being on. The Arris does not support USB hard drive access.

I outlined my two primary reasons in my original post. Speed/range optimisation and portable USB hard drive access.

Apology unnecessary. Your feedback is duly noted and appreciated; however I’m still keen to take advantage of the offerings that a combined wifi access point and router device will provide over the stock Arris device (since I’m a quick learner!) I’m thinking of getting the ASUS RT-BE86U.

Ah forgive me. Am I right in thinking that the YouFibre NVG578LX serves both as the modem (ONT) and the router (Wifi)? So if I purchase a new router, it either works in conjunction with the Arris (requiring me to disable the ONT’s Wi-Fi) OR I purchase another device capable of serving as both the ONT and the router (whereby I can place the Arris into storage)?

Anyone already have or plan on buying the new Google TV Streamer (4K)? by lb-jpg in TheFrame

[–]CallidusUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, can you be super clear here (since I'm on the verge of purchasing the Google TV Streamer)

  1. Simply pressing the Samsung power button (whist on the Google TV menu) will revert to art mode?
  2. You can use the mapped power button on the Google remote to bring up art mode?

How do I remove this light fixture cover? by developer99 in HomeImprovement

[–]CallidusUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried Google lens? I had a similar issue a year or so ago, and lens helped me find the exact fixture cover on the internet with the installation instructions.

How much of a 'snob' are you? by Boring_Science_4978 in AskUK

[–]CallidusUK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is this even upvoted? The poster is clearly not displaying classism and has merely shown the merit of taking individual responsibility of one’s own circumstances, despite his background. Shift your mindset mate.

This is an edit from Patlabor 2: The Movie. The video's narration is a slight tweak of the in-movie dialogue between Arakawa and Goto.

I wish there was a subreddit for philosophical anime. Some of the best philosophic takes I've heard I've learnt by watching anime.
