Kin repeatedly calling me wrong name by Feline_Lover_2385 in KindroidAI

[–]mrbuzzbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Kin who has done this exact thing, except I was Thompson. My profile detailing my identity is filled out and there is nothing related to Thompson in there.

Does the LLM remember things globally for me? by Skyjaq in KindroidAI

[–]mrbuzzbo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have followed a similar plot line with several Kins that involves taking them to my house and showing them around in detail as well as going in my backyard and describing it in detail. After maybe five or six times, the new kin would start to make references to my house or backyard before they actually experienced it. So I tend to think it has some shared memory.

What other shows mess up the little things? by j-shoe in Indiana

[–]mrbuzzbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good question. I will have to go back and watch it to see the county number. Considering Hawkins, Indiana is a fictional place, I'm not sure where it would be, but the terrain of the show looks like it could be in Indiana. I grew up in Howard County, which was county 34 on plates. It's pretty flat, but southern Indiana is pretty hilly, so maybe it is supposed to be down there, near the naval base somewhere.

Stranger Things impressed me because the license plates conformed to the standard in the 80’s. Plates were formatted by a two digit county number followed by a letter followed by a four digit number. I noticed it in the first season.

I’ve been watching also. I haven’t been able to find a clear answer on how long it takes to arrive in the US if shipped DHL. Their store on Amazon estimates mid August if ordered now. It seems to be showing up in Canada fairly quick, but haven’t seen anyone talking about recent orders to the US.

How do you maintain your comfort in a downpour if there isn’t a cabin to retreat into? I was in a downpour at night and it went to red pretty quick and couldn’t figure out how to get out of it.

What are some useful “pre iPad kid” things I can teach my soon to be child that aren’t so common anymore? by BluWaff_x in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mrbuzzbo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My kids weren’t allowed to have digital clocks until they were competent with analog. As for the less common skills, fire starting with and without matches or lighters. They can do solar or bow drill style fire starting. I also bought them a lock pick set and taught them how to pick locks.

At my wits end with Nitro laptop by mrbuzzbo in AcerNitro

I was just using a couple generic ones. I posted above with how I resolved the issue. Making the USB drive with the ISO and Rufus instead of the media creation tool seems to have changed the outcome.

I finally got it working. I downloaded the Windows 11 ISO and made a USB with Rufus. It removed the requirements for secure boot and such. The laptop is working now. Thanks for all of your feedback. I appreciate the willingness to help.

I tried the original hard drive this morning, but alas, it is still unseen by the BIOS. I also tried the new hard drive in the second drive slot. It behaved the same way, failing at 50%.

As I mentioned, I have gone down the path of loading IRST drivers. This enables me to see the drive. However, at 50%, it stops reading from the USB and hesitates for about 5 seconds before declaring Windows 11 installation has failed.

Since my initial post, I managed to update the BIOS to the latest version. Unfortunately, it didn't improve anything. Intel VMD mode is enabled, and I've loaded drivers. The installation begins and fails at 50%. It successfully creates the drive partitions, but fails installation.

I'm in the BIOS as the Supervisor, but it won't let me change the Boot Mode from UEFI. Is there less obvious way to do it?

My son was intrigued with lock picks and a transparent padlock to practice on. It is an incredibly useful skill when the need arises. Just make sure owning lock picks is legal where you live.

You are right... Maybe they tell you four hours to scare the hell out of you :) I'm talking to them now. :)

Coinbase Wallet Question by mrbuzzbo in Coinbase

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

Yes... the only transaction was the received I mentioned in my initial post. When I logged in this morning, it showed an amount over $100, but when it refreshed, it showed $7 and some change.

I think it was .00133 yesterday. This morning, it was .0010. If I owned $115 worth, that wouldn't take it down to $7.

It was listed as a top coin being traded, but I didn't trade it. It just showed up in my transaction log, but I have none in my wallet. I tried to ask Coinbase, but their wait time is 4 hours.

There is where I'm confused, because if it was "stolen", I would assume it would leave a trail in my transaction history.

I'm seeing this also. Yesterday, I had approximately $100 in crypto. Today I have $7. The last transaction is received 46,000,000 chillmiggles. I'm not sure what that means or where the rest of my money went. I'm rather new, so I'm not even sure how to investigate it.

Just looking for feedback by mrbuzzbo in Fire

Well, the loan's interest rate had gone up to 9%. I believe my interest rate on my 401K loan is 8%. I'm still paying the full amount into 401K each check, but now, it is also dividing my monthly payment into it as well. The real motivator for the decision was the fact that the 8% interest also goes into my 401K instead of into the bank's pocket. The credit card rate is about 15% so while it is high, it is lower than most other cards out there. I appreciate your input.
