At work we have bad documentation dept. Almost nothing is fully documented and most of the documentation is either outdated or has never been up to date (or accurate) in the first place. Old documentation is deleted without checking if it is still relevant… ect.
But somehow someone actually wanted Copilot to magically fix everything.
Luckily enough people seem to get that this won't work, so our manager resorted to ask us in a team meeting if anyone had ideas for problems that "AI" could fix. It's insane.
People keep telling me that the drainage holes on planters are not there to drain me, but the soil. But that's totally nonsensical. I mean, if the soil needs to be drained, why water it in the first place?
Anyway, how does one get their dick unstuck from a particularly sexy terracotta planter?
If you have any key depressed, for any reason, including but not limited to having taped a key (eg. ctrl) down, Teams will register you as "available", rather than "away".
Why are you not gay?!!!
It's amazing that the faster Ethernet gets and the more powerful network devices become, the fewer things we can do.
Why wouldn't just about everyone get the ability to print on the device whose sole purpose is to print things? If everything is set up right, you can even set per-user policies so Jarrett doesn't waste ink printing 50 AI pictures of kittens to hang in his soulless office cubicle.
Auch wenn 80% Zucker die Fairness nicht verdient haben: "löslicher Bohnenkaffee" bezeichnet die wasserlöslichen Bestandteile des Kaffees.
Beim Kaffee kochen wirft man halt sehr viel Bohne weg. Der lösliche Bestandteil ist hingegen das Bisschen, was man am Ende tatsächlich auch trinkt. Wenn ein Konsument nun seinen Löffel Instandkaffee ins Wasser kippt wäre da ohne Streckmittel deutlich mehr Kaffee im Kaffee als, wenn man denselben Löffel Kaffeebohnenpulver nehmen würde. Also streckt man das Ganze, damit'n DAU auch mit seinem normalen Portionslöffel die korrekte Dosis hinbekommt… und der Hersteller freut sich zudem über billiges Volumen.
Wenn's 'n guter Instandkaffee ist, dann ist der Kaffee sogar gefriergetrocknet und außer, dass die Hersteller natürlich die Extraktion stark optimiert haben, sollte es annähernd ähnlich schmecken… bis auf die volatilen Komponenten. Die suchen halt das Weite.
…
Eigentlich erzähle ich das auch nur, weil mich Sebastian Lege aufregt, wenn er Erdnüsse durch'n Extruder schiebt und dabei so tut, als laufe im Teleprompter gerade zwei Dirnen und eine Tasse. Ich mein DIGGI. DAS SIND ERDNÜSSE UND EDELSTAHL. WAS ZUM FICK IST DAS PROBLEM? ERDNUSSFLIPPS WACHSEN HALT NICH AUF BÄUMEN.
It must be some sort of hobby. Especially with the Elitebook series.
The G1 had a bad charging curve and tended to produce spicy pillows. HP fixed it with a firmware update, and since the G2 had mostly the same design, they were fine.
Then the G3 came out, again with an incorrect charging curve. HP fixed the problem. The G4 were fine.
G5? Bad charging curve… wanna guess if the G6 was affected?
I add oil, just enough to barely coat the pan, and then tap a teeny drop of tap water from my finger onto the pan. Once the drop pops (if it got touched by the oil) or simply boils away, I can start cooking.
Additionally: butter. Butter somehow doesn't stick for whatever reason, even if the pan isn't fully heated up yet.

Coffee is a matter of taste. So no one should tell you that you're doing it wrong. Maybe it's just a preference.
But "immediatly" is… pretty fast. I wonder if your grind is very fine or if you have very dark beans. I don't like coffee, so I brew mine pretty cool and for 2 minutes max so I get a very cocoy drink.
If you feel like it, you may want to try different grinds and recipes. Personally I feel like it's worth it.
My guess is that if most things "just work", Linux may be fine. I mean, there's a whole second laptop available and I'm reachable most of the time. I just don't want to play support all the time.
I'm also not that worried about locking things down. The parents can't even lock down Windows properly and have resorted to restricting internet time via a router setting. It's MAC based, and I think if the kid figures out how to change MAC addresses, they deserve a little extra Roblox time until the parents notice.
At the moment I think I'll sit down with them and we'll set this thing up together. That way I can teach them a bit about the differences and show them cool things like ad blocking or Steam and see how they do by themselves … and then make my (hopefully final) decision.
I would just like to say that I really appreciate everyone's contributions so far; even the little off-topic discussions.
But you are completely misjudging the situation. When I spoke of "first assumption", said they "know their way around Windows" and stated they found ways around prior parental locks, I was actually referring to the fact that "my kid" hasn't even been born yet. We've just slipped two iPads in, one with a YouTube-Kids Elsa Gate loop and the other constantly doom scrolling TikTok and Twitter.
I'm definitely not talking about someone who is a several years older than I was, when I got my first internet connected PC.
Sarcasm aside; they are more than old enough, according to their actual parents. They had a phone for quite some time; same for a Windows notebook. I just happen to have a better notebook laying around, but feel like Windows is sort of shit, and I need a little help with judging if Linux is the right call.
Just want to add to the difference in experience:
I leaned Linux, because I wanted to learn Linux and as such I was fine with stumbling a bit from time to time. They want a working computer that does Roblox and homework and don't care much about the rest.
I daily drive Silverblue (and the terminal is not useless >:c), and in a vacuum I would probably install Silverblue or another atomic desktop. But I worry about Windows compatibility.
Imagine the feeling when "you just click the .exe and everything installs itself" works for everyone but you. It doesn't matter that downloading executables from random websites is way worse than a proper package manager in pretty much every way.
It's still alienating. Going along with everyones technical dept may still be a nicer experience, because at least it doesn't require the effort of doing something different.
That's what I'm worried about.
It puts the update on its skin.
Is the image edited? 75% sRGB coverage on an IPS panel? That's terrible. I've never seen IPS panels that cover so little sRGB colorspace. Almost all of them will easily achieve the same amount of Adobe RGB per default.
75% is horrendous. You'll definitely notice that.
I understand LLMs well enough that I really don't want to use them because they are inherently incapable of judging the validity of information they are passing along.
Sometimes it's wrong. Sometimes it's right. But they don't tell you when they're wrong, and to find out if they were wrong, you now have to do the research you were trying to avoid in the first place.
I tried programming with it once, because a friend insisted it was good. But it wasn't, and it was extremly confidend, while being exceptionally wrong.
Man. Every time I read an unsolicited comment like this, I get moved a bit more to the "optics matter" camp.
If someone is interested, they will ask. And if they ask, you get to camly explain your thoughts and feelings.
That's how I managed to get everyone to think of the “haha, my food eats your food” guy in my social circle as the weird “berates people for their personal choices” guy, rather than me. He brought it up in the most childish, naive way, and I got to be the adult in the room.
And that stuck. A bunch of my friends lost their fear of meat alternatives, because of me wordlessly picking the meat alternative from the fridge in the grocery store, while picking things out for the BBQ. People do notice these things. And some will copy you, if you seem cool enough to copy.

I've only used an LLM (you can guess which one) once to write code. Mostly because I didn't feel like writing down some numbers and making a little drawing for myself to solve the problem.
And because a friend insisted that it writes code just fine.
But it didn't. It confidently didn't. Instead, it made up something weird and kept telling me that it had now “fixed” the problem, when in reality it was trying random fixes that were related to the error message but had nothing to do with the actual core problem. It just guessed and prayed.
In the end, I solved the problem in 10 minutes with a small scribble and a pen. And most of the time was spend drawing small boxes, because my solution relied on a coordinate system, I needed to visualize.
