I don't even understand the ads I see on the internet any more. What even is this?? I assume if I click on it it'll go somewhere to try to sell me something, but what and where? No, I'm not curious enough to risk clicking it to find out. Yes, this is the entire ad; nothing cropped out.

And now it works! There was open space in the wiring compartment (with nothing conductive nearby) to close it up inside the unit. Looks the same as ever, but now I have online control! And feel ready for my next zany electronics project idea! 🤓

Earlier today I first tested with the prototype. Initially I could only monitor, but not control. Fixing that just entailed a slight software tweak.

Like, I don't know what's dumber: wanting to regulate autocomplete like a nuclear weapon, or thinking you can regulate software like a nuclear weapon. Remember these? Leave it to the NYT Editorial Board to remember the 1950s but forget the 1990s.

All this AI nonsense had me thinking, "we need new Mike Judge to remind everyone that most things are not great or terrible, just really dumb. Maybe he could do something about it specifically." Then I remembered Silicon Valley exists.

AI is not an existential threat. (That's climate change.) The big AI companies want a slowdown because they see the money well is finally going to run dry soon. Therefore they need an excuse to curtail spending because they still aren't profitable. www.wired.com/story/ai-lea...

Auto Low Latency Mode doesn't work on Linux PCs because the HDMI consortium won't allow an open source implementation. You can't manually toggle it on Windows PCs for a similar reason. Consumers just aren't allowed to control these things.
