Despite my distaste of AI, I must still test and play with the limits of this tool, the hallucinations are just beyond comprehension, does anybody recognise this? I obviously don't speak the language #AntiGravity #GeminiFlash

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but this feels like a scathing burn... www.bbc.com/news/live/c1...

There's a toggle option on the configuration tab for the "OpenThread Border Router" add-on in Home Assistant, if you don't have advanced mode enabled you can search for this directly

Amazon Prime is a scam, Amazon forces sellers to put their goods on their site with free delivery for Prime users, but this just means they have to increase their prices anyway. Same item, same seller, same country, different prices. Always try to buy direct from the seller.

One thing I find frustrating about living in Germany is how often Germans will assume Ashley is exclusively a woman's name, or that it was necessary to assume a gender in the first place.
The opening of an email addressed to me, "Sehr geehrte Frau Davies" written in German, translated reads "Dear Mrs Davies"
