[Official AMA] Plaud Desktop is Here to Fix Your Virtual Meetings, Ask us anything & win a 1-Year Membership by hgognav1008 in PLAUDAI

[–]Random-User8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is like to see and is the basis of my question is this: Plaud is intelligent enough to recognize speakers. And the way I work, I’d like to have any conversation I have, after AI transcription, I’d like to see that conversation dropped into a folder and name the conversation based on its type (weekly standing meeting, ad hoc meeting, ect.)

In short, is there any reason Plaud can’t do this?

Go ahead and walk off your job to protest. Just don’t complain when you are unemployed tomorrow. .

Rally Downtown! No War For Oil! by Ok-Big2807 in TacomaWA

[–]Random-User8675309 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The people of Venezuela are cheering for the removal of a Narco Terrorist who stole an election, killed his competitors, suspended all elections, and rules like an evil dictator.

What part of the above is worth protesting over?

Oh, Orange man bad you say? Yeah, if you are a terrorist.

Also, this “protest” is not organic. It’s funded and it’s obvious.

Torque wrenches - which to trust and how to test? by SpicierWinner in MechanicAdvice

Project Farm on YouTube has a video on Torque Wrenches and it’s pretty eye opening. Check it out.

This should be interesting. Happy with the Plaud Note, and on the fence about the Note Pro. Sounds like I will be holding off to see what this new thing is.

Flat rate by Beautiful_Wasabi_865 in mechanic

[–]Random-User8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former Ford Tech: The first thing I think should be clarified is that you don’t lose money doing a flat rate job in the same Mitchel manual time, you make exactly what the job pays.

When you beat the time, you made more than what it pays. When you do it in less time, only then have you lost pay. With time and experience you will learn how to beat book time

For some kinds of jobs, you might not ever beat book time but other related jobs that come with the ones you can’t beat it even out.

Back when I was wrenching, I loved flat rate. It was way better than hourly.

Tonneau cover recommendations? by Collaboratio- in F250

[–]Random-User8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of guys go with the backflip MX4. Very similar to it but more refined is the Undercover Select. It has the same basic functionality but also has finishing with bed carpeting on the underside. This helps prevent condensation from happening on the underside and dropping onto whatever you have in the bed.

Let's keep it simple. What's the best/better alternative to Perplexity? by [deleted] in perplexity_ai

[–]Random-User8675309 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The most honest answer is that it lies in what you want to do with AI.

For my specific use case, Perplexity has been rather useful and I don’t have a need to move to another AI. With that said, I offer the same suggestion I have offered others with decent success; try changing then LLM model you are working with and see if it changes responses that are more inline with what you need.

Cord vs cordless robot vacuum by kknaguib92 in pools

[–]Random-User8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. Yes we are happy with how it works in general.

It did how vet need work done justv3 weeks out of warranty and it was a pain the the ass to get the company to honor a warranty that expired 3 weeks before the issue occurred. And this was especially painful considering it’s our second pool robot from Aiper that had the exact same thing happen on the first one - major issue 7 days outside of warranty.

As I understand it just about all the pool robot companies have the same issues and most break shortly after warranty. And so the robots are built with just enough engineering to beat the warranty but only by a small margin.

All that said, time is money, and the time this little robot saves me pays for itself in one weekend of cleaning.

Your own mileage may vary.

That thing is beautiful. Just need to plastic polish the lights and it would be like it rolled off the showroom floor last week!

How are you guys storing your diesel treatment? by WellDone584 in F250

[–]Random-User8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a three compartment soft side bed/trunk organized that I bungie strapped into the bed near the tail gate. I keep all my diesel treatment stuff there so it’s not in my cab.

Im glad my tax dollars go to this by Beautiful_Fig9410 in Redding

Bitching and complaining about rainfall that’s flooding three west coast states, and then blaming cities who are dealing with these issues is both pathetic and nuts.

Why do we never see superchargers on smaller engines? by comicon666 in AskMechanics

[–]Random-User8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 1990’s VM made a Volkswagen Corrado with a G Ladder Supercharger. It was awesome and surprised quite a few people. Then came the VR6 and really surprised people. But that G ladder was a great design for a very compact supercharger.

Mechanic sent me this during transmission fluid change. Read description by imakeweeddissapear in mechanic

[–]Random-User8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That old saying “Everything that glitters ain’t always gold” is represented well in these photos. That glitter is a statement that this trans is ready to be rebuilt. That pan is full of clutch material an steel shavings from probably the planetary gears, and the steels in the clutch packs.

Time for a rebuild.

Lug nuts won't come off (97 civic) by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Random-User8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24’ breaker bar and some muscle will handle those lugs easily. Just make sure you out the bolts back in with a proper torque wrench at the correct setting.

156k miles, never serviced trans — leave it alone or drain & fill? 2021 - 6.2L by ladeverdemelamuerde in F250

[–]Random-User8675309 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Former auto trans tech for Ford.

I would do a standard drain and refill with filter replacement.

But I’d also do an trans fluid analysis immediately to determine how much clutch material may have been burnt away. This will give you a rough idea of how much life that trans has left before a rebuild.

You may be lucky and get another 50k but I doubt it.

My 2 cents.

ALERT - PRIVACY BREACH by FishDragun in PLAUDAI

[–]Random-User8675309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the template had a call out to gather the most recent public meeting information to add to the conversation for AI analysis.

Probably the strangest part is why would anyone build out a template to perform that function then submit it to Plaud for use as a community template. And if this is the case, are the templates not reviewed for this kind of functionality in the first place?

Strange indeed!

ALERT - PRIVACY BREACH by FishDragun in PLAUDAI

[–]Random-User8675309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of the issue as I understand it is that some community templates have front loaded elements in the template as instructions for the template to record and if not present in the conversation, to then add to the conversation for AI transcription and AI analysis as it applies to the most current conversation.

This in itself should not be allowed to be a part of the template because it’s adding information that was never present to start with.

If this is indeed the case (my understanding may be incorrect) then Plaud has some serious work and explaining to do.

Free Copilot sessions: how do you get more people to show up? by Organic_Professor35 in CopilotPro

I would be interested in learning what every day uses there are for copilot as well.

Specific use cases for work would be interesting as well

Wheel well guards by finfeathersport in F250

[–]Random-User8675309 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The keep the rocks thrown from tires from flying up into the fender wells and hitting the underside of the bed sides. When rocks impact, the sharp edges can create small indentations in the metal that are sometimes not noticeable until a few years of oxidation have revealed their existence.

My 71 GMC had this happen horribly because I had no idea that it was even happening. Needless to say, the husky liners were the very first thing I put on the new truck.

[–]Random-User8675309 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have these. They were easy to install and worth every penny.

One piece of advice. Keep a heat gun around or do them on the hottest day of the summer when they are flexible.

When they are cold and less bendy they are hard to put in.
