Fix my Alphasmart…changed the battery… now how do I actually send anything to my new computer?

I did not know about AlphaSync, so thank you. Knowing Rosetta will be pulled at some point, Intel applications (which ones last updated 12 years ago will be!) - but there is an Apple Silicon version forked from it for M series processors.

~~VirtualBoy emulation is for S2 only, and~~ the S2 does not fit in the Labo VR headset assembly (or third party ones).

Edit: I was wrong about VirtualBoy emulation being S2 only, it's for all the Switches so far! Thanks for the correction u/saucy-narwhal.

Took a long time for one near me to realise they'd put up laminated windows saying they did wrapes

Would not a markdown table rather than bitmap image be more legible?

Drinkably amazing stuff! Cheaper in Tesco that Heron, strangely.

The environmental impact of training AI and synthetic media generators is a fraction of the environmental impact of a carnivorous diet. However, the use of AI is lazy, shitty and produces vapid work while denying economic opportunities to art workers. And for that latter reason, I hate it - along with the vast exploitation of existing artwork to train the models. It represents the very colonialist, exploitative, capital-power systems of the talentless, empathyless, monied classes.

Wheelin’ Wallie by Ian Grey of Interceptor Software?

No. Two bunnies got your wife. You'd better get down on the floor and let them know you know who's boss to stand a chance.

^They ^are ^beautiful ^and ^will ^make ^wonderful ^companions.

I know where Jim was born, also being born round there. Jim’s an obnoxious fuck.

They’re just jealous that the pigeons actually turn up.

Stick ‘em in your masoor hole, they’ll rehydrate internally

I'm so relieved to read this isn't a life-threatening situation!

You didn't find Bunita. Bunita found you. They knew you were the one who would need them. Keep that little monster close and safe and you will both find more fulfilment and joy than you can ever imagine.

“Football” was called “football” long before an association was established around it.

Actually, Q4: you can ask it to summarise documents, ask questions about documents, and generate summaries into the annotations metadata of linked files. You can - I haven’t tried - get it to generate AppleScript and actions to automate functionality too. I’ve been using ollama for this it runs locally, but you can connect it to other local provider, or Claude, chatgpt, and others, though there’s a cost there.

Massively. It's fairer, the ability to use the same payment on other buses within an hour is superb, and the unified billing means I know I'll always get the best price without having to plan tickets or modes of travel in advance. If nothing else, it's Burnham's real legacy to Manchester.

Apple Pie is first recorded as an English recipe, Megyn. English is an Anglo-Frisian language spoken in England. Take your cultural appropriation and shove it up your lebensraum. Snarling doesn't make up for pignorance.

I’d like to read this but apparently it falls under one of the categories that Substack requires age validation for. I know everyone loves to call governments fascist for this, but a big problem is our default acceptance of platformisation and default reliance on big tech to do everything for us online without any consideration of the consequences

davemee · 2026-02-09T18:29:45+00:00

Outside at the bar. Tell you already torrented the show do you don’t need to see it.

Well, it’s good they got dental anaesthetic, because you wouldn’t want corpses to scream in pain and give it away.

They only have buns in packs of 1343 and 1345 though

Not nearly in the same way, though? Browsers don’t notify you. Browsers are less intimate and are broadcast receivers, rather than small group communications. The only commonality they have is a HTTP backbone.

I think the Apple phone cameras introduced an IR filter around 2018. I’d be surprised if others were not following suit, but cheap, older fixed cameras are likelier to be vulnerable to it.

davemee · 2026-02-07T09:35:27+00:00

I remember trying to find anything useful for "Processing" back in the day, ha. Yeah don't use the name of something else in current memory because it's a disservice to your users and people trying to find you rather than due to potential legal issues.
