I'm hoping those salt batteries pan out.

Preach. Get a food scale!

I counted calories for a bit to eat healthier and balance my nutrition.

I stopped after 3 months but I quickly realized that serving sizes ae WAY smaller than you'd think.

A bowl of cereal or chips could be 2 or 3 servings. Donuts and muffins are garbage. Ham and cheese? Triple the ham and cut the cheese in half. Mayo is horrible but plain mustard is 0 cal.

I didn't eat any less but I made my meals healthier and lost weight without changing my workout.

I also ate bad stuff without cheating. Chicken salad for dinner and a scoop of ice cream for a late night snack under budget.

This reminds me of the wood chips delivery in the driveway bit...

Use case:

I want to set it up in my home so husband and 2 kids can access and share within GOG TOS.

Is there a feature to automatically download installers and patch files from GOG to the server?

Seems like a good feature to have to maintain an offline library.

And it's only going to get WAY WORSE with LLM and Gen AI...

I wonder if it would be illegal to put IR lights around your plate to blind the camera ...

Gears turning...

Yep. Then automatic tolls and traffic cams can't track you. Cop would pull you over real quick.

Depending on where you're based, you'll find PayPal's new data-sharing option under a different name. Remember, you may not see this at all if you're based in a country that doesn't allow it.

If you're in the US, you should head to your profile Settings and tap on Data & privacy. Under Manage shared info, click on Personalized shopping. You should see the option enabled by default. Toggle off the button at the right to opt-out.

If you are in the UK like me, you'll see something different after you head to your profile Settings and tap on Data & privacy.

Under Manage your privacy settings, here you'll see an Interest-based marketing tab – click on it. At this point, two options will appear: Interest-based marketing on PayPal and Internet-based marketing on your accounts. You have to tap on each of these and toggle off the button at the right to opt-out. These instructions can also apply if you're based in the EU.

Yeah this is begging for [email protected] to replace that app.

Yeah. I've found new logic by asking GPT for improvements on my code or suggestions.

I cut the size of a function in half once using a suggested recursive loop and it blew my mind.

Feels like having a peer to do a code review on hand at all times.

Everyone keeps talking about autocomplete but I've used it successfully for comments and documentation.

You can use vs code extensions to generate and update readme and changelog files.

Then if you follow documentation as code you can update your Confluence/whatever by copy pasting.

I have a brother multifuction laser. From a thrift store. 6 years so far on a 3rd party XL toner...

I've spent more on paper than the printer+toner

Apologies if this is the wrong instance for this.

Is there a best option for HTPC streaming solutions besides throwing Linux on an old desktop? Plugging in a desktop for streaming doesn't work too well for wall mounted televisions. My options are mini PCs or a 3rd party streaming stick. Even a RasPi stick running OSMC should do the trick.

These 3rd party sticks online are extremely tempting for power and features but I'm concerned about embedded malware. Best option would be to wipe it and load OSMCor raspbian to ensure its clean. Anyone have experience with this?

Care to share your setup?

$14.41 | DQ06 ATV Mini TV Stick Android12 Allwinner H618 Quad Core Cortex A53 Support 8K Video 4K Wifi6 BT Voice Remote Smart TV Box | Link

Runner up: $12.90 | Orange Pi Zero 2 W 1GB RAM DDR4 Mini PC Allwinner H618 Orange Pi Zero 2W WiFi Bluetooth SBC Single Board Computer Zero2W | Link


Update: My ideal solution would be $20-$50 for a replacement to several fire sticks in my home. For a solution around $100 I'd just go with a old refurbished mini pc from ebay/amazon and throw full Linux on it.

Setting up Kodi via the linux OSMC distro or even Android TV both work. Might stream games with steam link. Eventually going to setup jellyfin in my home

Current Plan: Get a mini pc and mount it behind / near my television. Ideally I would prefer just a stick for a cleaner / cheaper solution.

Finally researched about the Orange Pi (rasp alternative) and the darn thing comes with full hdmi! Orange Pi 3B Full HDMI and SD / eMMC / M2 (sata3) slots!
