  • Yea, well…for the heavy lifting it could be nice. But I’m not letting AI build my house.

    Lifting heay crap to the roof or something like that? Sure. That is what machines are good at.

    Welding? Well welding robots have existed for long time, they just need to programmed perfectly. I’ve worked with a couple of them, the results are not always consistent and they required some quality checks. It is easier. Manual welding takes more skill and takes longer. I just don’t need the AI part though. That makes it unpredictable. And if I let a robot do something, it should be predictable.

    I do woodworking and fixing around the house. Even when building new stuff, there are always issues that you have to solve on the spot. Walls that are not straight, angles that are not perfect, spaces you cannot reach et cetera.

    As long as AI does not get it 100% right every time it is not touching my house. And yes, a professional doesn’t reach that rate either, but at least they know and doublecheck themselves and know how to fix things.



  • Mine already reboots every night. It’s a setting I can change on my OnePlus.

    I enabled it long ago. A reboot will also kill anything that is running in your memory like a page mining crypto or a virus that has not yet gotten to your file system yet. Or at least I’d like to think so…

    Anyways, the reboot also insured that if my phone is ever taken from me, after 24 hours max they will have to both enter my PIN and my phone security code. I wish them good luck. There’s not much interesting stuff on my phone, but that does not mean I want everyone to have free access too it.


  • That one time I got an executable online that made girls strip on my desktop was great. Of course, the spyware and virus crap that was secretly behind it was not. I think that was the first time I did a full reinstall of Windows for the first time. Good times.

    Burning CD’s, ripping CD’s with programs to remove the protection and save songs as MP3…

    Anyone remembers cracks? You would replace a couple of files in the game folder and you could run a game without the CD, or a pirated version. These days with the online crap that is much more difficult. Or the serial number generators for some games or software because some genius found out how the software checked the number?
