They literally don’t know. “GPT-5” is several models, with a model gating in front to choose which model to use depending on how “hard” it thinks the question is. They’ve already been tweaking the front-end to change how it cuts over. They’ve definitely going to keep changing it.

All outlets should just be replaced with IEC C13. Robust and compact.

Instagram is extremely popular, and it’s heavily promoted inside of there, with Threads content embedded to almost look like Instagram content but when you tap on it it hops you over to Threads. I’m not surprised that they’ve been able to build a user base while X declines

In Japan they have an IR beacon system to track traffic congestion which works anonymously and lets offline car navigation systems have good-quality traffic info.

I picked up a used 2018 Fujitsu office PC with an i5-7500 for $60 (from a physical recycle shop, with a 14 day warranty) and it draws 15W idle. Way better value than a Pi (once you’ve added case, cooling, PSU etc) for running home server stuff.

A Pi still kills for “Arduino plus plus” use cases where you need the size, GPIO or can optimize the heck out of power usage on a battery.

iOS does have an API for apps to record the screen throughout the OS these days through Broadcast Extensions, but it has to be user-initiated through the control center screen recording toggle (where they then get to pick what app to record the screen to instead of just saving as a video), it wouldn’t do that people think the T-Mobile app is doing

1. I do have 10 Gbps, I pay $35/mo here in Japan (not even a big city like Tokyo, this is a depopulating, rural capitol)
2. More importantly, even my 5 year old, 4-bay spinning rust Synology NAS can saturate 2.5 Gbps copying files. With soldered storage in modern machines, faster networking is cheaper than replacing my whole machine

Yeah what I’ve settled on is one of those $40 generic Chinese 4x2.5G PoE+2x10G SFP+ switches. Gives me:

• 10G for internet/router
• 10G for my main computer
• 2.5G for secondary machine
• 2.5G for NAS
• 2.5G PoE for WiFi
• One port chained to a 16-port Gbit switch for all the slow junk that doesn’t need performance

Would be great to get another 10G for the NAS as well!

For what it’s worth, Synology Hybrid RAID is just a fancy GUI over linux mdraid, so the drives can be mounted on any Linux system (Synology even have instructions for how to do this on their website). You’ll be SOL mounting them with any kind of third-party NAS GUI that expects their own partition layout though.

What are you powering with it?

You plug it straight into the wall, it syncs to the grid and back-feeds it, up to 800W. Your meter stops spinning (or even goes backwards)

because if the grid went down, these types of panels could keep feeding the house, out to the street, and electrocute a line worker

The inverter in these is designed to shut down if it doesn’t detect a waveform from the grid to sync with - they are unable to create a 50 Hz AC wave on their own. As long as the hardware is legit (which is a big if with how easy it is to get unsafe junk in from China) there is no safety issue, it’s purely regulatory.

Yeah when I went over my bank statements for last year, I only went to an ATM a single time in the whole year. Mostly only need cash for stuff like parking

Gentoo, sometime in the early 00’s

Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard

The VGA plug in OP is part of a series and I bought all three, including the SCSI one (which is objectively the best one)

What’s amazing how high they were already in 2024

This is the dial in our current late-90’s apartment (apologies for the limescale). It is gradated in Celsius

My kids like something in the mid-30’s, I like just under 40, my wife like closer to 45. A pretty decent range IMHO

I’ve never had this problem anywhere I live (Sweden and Japan) so I’m assuming it has to do with some kind of especially cheap fixtures?

They’ve been trying in Sweden by pushing paternal leave to make it so the males are just as likely to take time off as women so it’s more equitable, but there was a lot of pushback on “forcing men” to do it and not allowing for “individual choice” as to who takes the parental leave

In Japan they let kids go outside without supervision starting a really young age.

Yeah I live in Japan and my daughter started going on errands (“go get some milk/eggs”) alone at age 5. All kids are then expected to walk themselves to elementary school starting from the first week, there is no room for drop-offs from a car.
